Asks Removal Reid Hall.
President Black asks for the removal
Of Reid Hall from the campus.
This building cannot be used for
the purposes Of the school without an
expenditure for repairs amounting to
at least so per cent of it's present
value stated Mr. Black. Il do not
feel justified in recommending repairs
and no fund for such repairs Is avail
able. 1t is costly to- keep the building
from deteriorating, we pay insurance
premiums amounting to $3.50 and we
feel that its proximity to our new
building endangers the better build
ings. This building should. therefore,
be disposed of during the present va

purposes mentioned hereafter"

clock system complete for announcing
times Of classes in the various depart

IF, after the above improvements
have been made in addition to those
already recommended for the departm-
ment of Manual Training. sufficient
money is found available, laboratory
tables and lockers should be provided"
stated Mr.. Black. These are much

other repairs and improvements have
been made"
