Report of Committee 9:

Your Committee recommends that the request herein con-
tained be granted but that the petitioners be advised to defer their
action until the Handbook will have been revised.

Action of Synod: This recommendation was adopted.

Disposal of Synodical Property
(Memorial 714)

Concerning this matter Committee 9 submitted the following
resolution:

Wuereas, The Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio,
and Other States at times acquires property by deed, gift, devise,
or foreclosure sale, which said property it would often be ex-
pedient, advantageous, and necessary to dispose of; and

Wuereas, The Constitution and By-laws do not permit the
Board of Directors to dispose of, or sell, real and personal property
without first having authority from the Synod so to do; there-
fore be it

Resolved, That the Board of Directors of the Evangelical Lu-
theran Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States be authorized
and empowered, and it is hereby authorized and empowered, to
sell, barter, exchange, or trade any real or personal property not
adjacent to, or a part of, any of Synod’s college or seminary prop-
erties of which said Synod may find itself possessed and which
real estate or personal property in the opinion of said Board of
Directors would be of no direct use or benefit to said Synod in
the pursuit of its constitutional objectives, at such price or con-
sideration and upon such terms and conditions as in the opinion
of said Board of Directors would best serve the interests of said
Synod.

Action of Synod: This resolution was adopted.
