way on motion of Regent Wallace it was
decided TO allow the town Of Berkeley t1
make connection with the sewer on CON
dition that the board be allowed 10 revoke
the privilege at any moment that the
safety OF the university sewage system
seemed to demand it.
The town has decided to lay sewer in

the Eorth side Of the street. The Regents
were informed that their share of the eX-
pense would be $1,000 for the sewer and
$500 for the rest. The university needs
the sewer, but Regent Hallidie said they
could not at present afford the rest Of the
street improvement. The matter was
referred 10 the law committee 10 see if
they would haveto pay 1t anyhow.
Regent Wallace then read a letter from
Attorney John b. MhOon. ia when he
! stated that their bills against the Giant
Powder Company for damage caused by

the cost Of prosecuting the suits would be
heavy the matter was dropped.

loans, which were made, and then the

mInistration was produced.
