similar institutions.

In its report the committee says:
The following Plan is herewith sub

already received the approval and in
iorsement' of the council or admins
ration:
A building to cost, complete, $4,000,

If the building it is proposed to create
a sinking fund of $l50,000 invested at

To provide for the building fund viii
