’ curbing, Paving, and maintenance of the drives. To provide curb-

most of the plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and carpentry repairs: 4
on the campus. But we have no adequate shop for this purpose, nor 4

to. house the automotive vehicles which we own (panel truck,
dump truck, bus, driver-training car) and the larger pieces of
machinery (e. g., power mowers, garden tractor). We can meet

remarked about its beauty, but decried the unfortunate lack of

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.

Above all we need pianos and organs. Seven pianos are included
in our claim on the “Building for Tomorrow” collection. If they

of our pianos have been in use since 1912 and cannot serve longer.

many students well but now needs rebuilding if it is not to lose
