SEMINARIES AND COLLEGES 107

NEW BUSINESS
Meeting of the Board Held on January 9, 1956

When informed that the new house would stand 1 meter 25 cm.
lower than the street level, we resolved to send three members
of the Board up to the place of construction to examine the
situation.

A water tank is to be installed in Professor Gueths’ house.
Minimum room and board which must be paid by the students
is Cr. $120,00 per month during the first semester.

The Board asks that a bonus of Cr. 6.000,00 be granted to each
professor.

Dr. Rehfeldt informed us that he is still in good health; for
this reason the Board retains him as teacher for 1956.

January 26, 1956

Director Goerl informed the Board that Cr. $173.000,00 more
would be needed for the construction of the two walls, the raising
of the foundation, and the screens of the new professor’s residence.

Rev. Harold Ott counseled us to finish the most necessary
parts first and to postpone the erection of the walls or fences of the
property for the time being. Director Goerl must inform us
whether he wishes to retain his post as director in the College
Department. If not, another one must be chosen.

February 3, 1956

The laundry cost was much more than estimated. The new resi-
dence, because of the bad condition of the soil, also will cost much
more than the building firm had calculated. A floating cement base
must be made. This together with the elevation of the foundation
of the house will cost Cr. $40.240,00. The wall on one side of the
school will cost 71.620,00, and the one on the other side will cost
49.050,00; the two gates are included in these sums. The screens
will cost 8.210,00 and the sidewalk in front of the house 4.050,00.
All this was not included in the original estimate.

Because of faulty construction a water seepage affecting the
study and bathroom of Dr. Schelp’s residence has developed. The
repairs will cost 15.800,00.

Mr. Tornquist, who will teach in the High School Department,
is to receive 2.160,00 a month, student Klagenberg 225,00 and Miss
Magdalena Wadewitz Cr. $1.800,00.

We bought 50 new classroom chairs. Dr. Rupp will be on vaca-
tion during the first semester; in May he is to take a trip to the
U.S. for study purposes. The front of the new Seminary building
and certain doors must be painted. ;
