rading and sewer and water connections will cost an additional
"$1,000, bringing the total up to $16,000.

' 1%) Residence for Help.— We are experiencing much difficulty
in finding necessary rooms for our engineer and his assistant as well
as for the porters. At present our engineer lives about two miles
distant from the school. There is no opportunity to rent anything
nearer the school that would be within the financial reach of our
engineer. We ought to have a house in which we can take care of
this situation. A house with six rooms down-stairs for the engineer
and five rooms upstairs for other help is estimated at $18,000.

Action.
Resolved to appropriate $3,500 for laboratory equipment.
