fv. Luth. Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. 1932. 45

Synod at a previous convention allowed this improvement. At
that time it was an “improvement,” but now, after so many years, it
“7, become a “necessity.” Since the erection of the Administration
puilding in 1918 the walls and ceilings of the chapel have not been
toucbed. Dirt, soot, and grime are their only covering. Surely the
place where our boys gather for their family worship should be more
spviting and more reverence-inspiring. We urgently request that this
appropriation be granted and the needed sum made available as soon
as possible.

@. Sewer. — Sewer connection for the Administration Building:
approximately $2,500.

The city of St. Paul now has a splendid and adequate sewerage
system, which is accessible to our property and for which we were
assessed $11,000. At the present writing our building is, however, not
connected with this sewerage system. Instead, we are still using the
inadequate, unpractical, and unsanitary cesspools. Surely a request
for an appropriation which will permit the use of this sewerage
system cannot be construed as asking for an unnecessary improve-
ment. The Board feels that this is a request which should be granted
gince it is the only practical and sanitary sewage disposal for such
a large family of boys.

8. Toilet Facilities in the West Building. — Cost: approximately
$1,350.

Our Concordia at St.Paul still has one building without any
toilet facilities whatsoever. The toilets for this building are located
in another structure. These are reached by way of an underground
tunnel. Students who must use the toilet during the night are com-
pelled to go quite a distance. We feel that this toilet equipment in
the West Building is a necessity.

Respectfully submitted by

Tue Boarp or TRUSTEES,
J.H. Deckman, Secretary.
