Action Regarding Individual Institutions BF

cost of maintaining this arrangement. To be more specific, said
congregations, without reducing their contributions toward Synod
and missions, have furnished the sum of $8,205 to recondition,
alter, and equip Hanser Hall for high-school Purposes, thereby
greatly enhancing the value of this building, and are paying all
running expenses not covered by the tuition charged non-minis-
terial students in the high-school department, This means that
Synod is being put to no expense by this arrangement.

Non-ministerial enrolment in high school department: 1935—
1936, 95 (41 boys, 54 girls); 1936—1937, 109 (55 boys, 54 girls);
1937—1938, 180 (57 boys, 73 girls).

Broadcasting of Morning Devotions

Since the middle of last October the morning devotional exer-
cises of our institution, conducted by President Ottomar Krueger,
were broadcast every week-day over WOWO, the local 5,000-watt
radio station. These broadcasts have given our Concordia ex-
cellent publicity and have brought the Bread of Life to many
thousands of souls. Friends of the institution have financed this
important enterprise in its entirety.

Requests
As to the needs and requirements of our institution, we peti-
tion the Hon. Synod to grant us the following requests:

Remodeling of Service Building 2. $27,215.00
Terrazzo floor for dining-hall ... 7,000.00
Lowering of Maumee Avenue walk ...0.00.000000000 1,200.00
Widening Center Drive to 15 feet... 1,225.00

Total $36,640.00

Item 1. The Service Building at present contains the kitchen,
storerooms, and sleeping quarters for the help. It is antiquated,
impractically arranged, and is a real fire-trap. The building should
be thoroughly remodeled and equipped with a much-needed re-
. frigeration system and bakery. ‘

Item 2. The present terrazzo floor is resting on wood joists.
In many places it has warped, causing cracks and breaks. It con-
stitutes a hazard of no mean proportion. Needed: New steel
joists, concrete subfloor, and a finished terrazzo floor.

Item 3. Since the widening of Maumee Avenue by the city five
years ago the sidewalk (Center Drive to Schick Street) is from
two to three feet higher than the pavement. This is not only very
unsightly, but extremely dangerous to pedestrians.

Item 4. Center Drive is but twelve feet wide. A constant
