by tuckpointing now, at a cost of 30 cents a Square foot. Synod
on protect its investment and obviate extensive interior repairs
and possible replacement by allotting the $12,880 needed to do this
tuckpointing.

m. Curbing or Driveways. Visitors to our campus have long
remarked about its beauty, but decried the unfortunate lack in
curbing, paving, and maintenance of the drives. To provide curb-
ing for our driveways would mean to enhance the appearance of
our campus more than its cost would indicate. To improve its
property in this respect, we ask Synod to appropriate $10,000.

n. Sewer Connection. When our refectory was built twenty-
four years ago, the drains were not connected directly with the
city sewer. The refectory sewer system has now deteriorated and
will soon necessitate costly repairs and replacement. We recom-
mend the better and cheaper alternative of connecting the refectory
sewer with the city system immediately at an estimated cost of
$1,660.

0. Piano Equipment. One of the constant needs for a school
which trains church musicians is adequate training instruments.
Above all we need pianos and organs. Seven pianos are included
in our claim on the “Building for Tomorrow” collection. If they
have been obtained, we need 12 more; if not, we need 19, Most

use. The average delivered cost of each piano is estimated
at $925. .

Pp. Pipe Organ. Organ “A” is our oldest organ. It has served
many students well but now needs rebuilding if it is not to lose
all value in the near future. Specifications already available can
provide a good rebuilding of this organ for Synod’s use, at a real
saving in comparison with replacement of the instrument, for
$10,500.

q. Reed Organ. At present we have no reed organs on our
campus. Since many of our graduates must use this type of in-
strument later, they should be able to use one while learning.

will supply this item, if-it has not already been granted
from the proceeds of the “ uilding for Tomorrow” collection.

Yr. Electronic Organ. A considerable and increasing number of

future church musicians and teachers on these instruments, as well
8S on pianos, reed and pipe organs, we respectfully request Synod
to grant $3,000 for an electronic organ, to be bought and used for
instrumental Purposes,
