62 Proceedings of the 28th General or

2. New fittings for the washroom in the main building, and bathing and
toilet facilities in the same. A mere repair would no longer serve
here. It is also obvious that these rooms in particular should be
kept in as good condition as possible. The cost would come to about
$2,000.00.

Regarding these needs we would like to ask the Reverend Synod to put
the sum needed for this at our disposal promptly, so that this work
can be carried out in the summer.

3. Porches on the main building and the south building. The
entrances are entirely unprotected from wind and weather. The door of
the main building leads directly into the assembly hall, which is
also used as a classroom. Suitable porches could be built for about
$1,500.00.

4. Re-roofing the service building and painting the professors'
residences. About $1,000.00 is needed for this. The roof of the
service building has given seventeen years of service and is in a
condition that makes a lasting repair impossible. As for painting the
residences, it is a well-known fact that temporary saving in this
regard later causes all the greater repair costs.

May the Lord, however, continue to rule graciously over our
institution and bless the work done in it to the honor of his name! —

The synod voted its heartfelt thanks to the generous friends and
benefactors of the institution named in the board's report, who
through their gifts have secured a good gymnasium building for the
students.

The following sums were authorized:

1. for the enlargement of the heating plant, $4,000.00–$4,500.00;

2. for the new fittings for the washroom in the main building, with
everything that belongs to it, $2,000.00;

3. for porches on the main building and the south building, $1,500.00;

4. for re-roofing the service building and painting the professors'
residences, $1,000.00.

The board of oversight's separate memorial on this institution was
before a committee (16a), which submitted the following report:

"Since Mr. Prof. E. L. Arndt's resignation is in the hands of the
Reverend General President, the committee is of the opinion that the
whole memorial has become moot.

"We therefore only recommend to the Reverend Delegate Synod that it
grant Mr. Prof. E. L. Arndt support, and help him to obtain a pastoral
office again, in which he proved himself so well before."

This committee report was adopted by the synod.
