14. Delegatenſynode von Miſſouri, Ohio u. a. St. 1914. 33
Beſondere Gratifikation an Kontraktoren.
Einer der Kontraktoren, die die Bauten in River Foreſt aufge⸗
führt haben, hat ſchließlich einen Verluſt von $2660 zu verzeichnen ge⸗
habt. Dies erſchien der Synode nicht unmöglich, als berichtet wurde,
daß das Angebot dieſes Mannes um $9000 niedriger geweſen ſei als
das nächſthöchſte Angebot.
Ein anderer der Kontraktoren hat durch einen Sturmwind, der ſich
während des Bauens einſtellte, einen Schaden von $851 erlitten, den
er gerne mit der Synode teilen würde.
Beſchloſſen, daß die Allgemeine Aufſichtsbehörde in Ver⸗
bindung mit der lokalen Aufſichtsbehörde die beiden Firmen inſoweit
ſchadlos halten ſoll, als dieſe nachweiſen können, daß ſie Verluſt er⸗
litten haben.
Eigener Charter für das Lehrerſeminar in River Foreſt.
Es lag ein derartiger Antrag vor. Durch den vorgelegten neuen
charter würde die Synode (nach Ausſage von Komitee 2) vor dem
Geſetz ſich aller Rechte an die Anſtalt begeben haben. Obwohl nun
die Synode längſt beſchloſſen hat, daß das Eigentum aller ihrer
Anſtalten auf dem Namen der Synode ſtehen ſoll, wurden doch
noch folgende Beſchlüſſe gefaßt:
1. daß die Synode von einer Inkorporation der Anſtalt in River
Foreſt abſehe und dieſe Anſtalt unter dem charter der Synode
weiterführe;
2. daß das Eigentum in River Foreſt, das der Synode über⸗
ſchrieben iſt, auf dem Namen der Synode ſtehen bleibe.
Ehe dieſe Beſchlüſſe gefaßt wurden, hatte Komitee 2 auch darauf
aufmerkſam gemacht, daß es zwei Advokaten zu Rate gezogen habe.
Einer derſelben habe allerdings die Meinung ausgeſprochen, daß die
im Staate Miſſouri inkorporierte Synode unter den Geſetzen des
Staates Illinois kein Eigentum beſitzen und die Anſtalt in River
Foreſt nicht unter dem charter der Synode führen könne. Der andere
Advokat aber habe folgende Erklärung ſchriftlich abgegeben: “The
opinion will hold that a foreign corporation not for pecuniary profit,
organized in Missouri for educational purposes, may take by devise
and hold in the State of Illinois property necessary for its purpose.
And the opinion will be backed by a first-class bond to the value of
the River Forest property.”

14th Delegate Synod of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States, 1914. 33
Special Gratuity to Contractors.
One of the contractors who erected the buildings at River Forest
ultimately recorded a loss of $2660. This did not seem improbable to
the Synod when it was reported that this man's bid had been $9000
lower than the next-highest bid.
Another of the contractors suffered damage of $851 from a windstorm
that arose during construction, which he would gladly share with the
Synod.
Resolved, that the General Board of Control, together with
the local board of control, shall make good the loss of both firms
to the extent that they can demonstrate they have suffered loss.
A Charter of Its Own for the Teachers' Seminary in River Forest.
Such a motion was before the Synod. Under the proposed new charter,
the Synod (according to Committee 2's statement) would, in the eyes
of the law, have surrendered all rights to the institution. Although
the Synod had long since resolved that the property of all its
institutions should stand in the Synod's own name, the following
resolutions were nevertheless adopted:
1. that the Synod refrain from incorporating the institution at
River Forest and continue to operate this institution under the
Synod's own charter;
2. that the property at River Forest, which has been deeded to the
Synod, remain standing in the Synod's name.
Before these resolutions were adopted, Committee 2 also pointed out
that it had consulted two attorneys. One of them, to be sure, had
expressed the opinion that a Synod incorporated in the State of
Missouri could not, under the laws of the State of Illinois, hold
property and could not operate the institution at River Forest under
the Synod's charter. The other attorney, however, had given the
following opinion in writing: "The opinion will hold that a foreign
corporation not for pecuniary profit, organized in Missouri for
educational purposes, may take by devise and hold in the State of
Illinois property necessary for its purpose. And the opinion will be
backed by a first-class bond to the value of the River Forest
property."
Property Transfers.
The resolution making the sale of our synodical property at Addison
legally valid and binding was, to be sure, already adopted in 1911
(see the report of the 13th Delegate Synod, p. 53, § 6). But since
the sale took place only shortly before this year's Synod,
