The subject of the cost of the new

sideration and it is the opinion
of your committee that the building

lows:-$S0,000 from campaign fund,

piled directly to the building in ac-
cordance with trust stipulation. This
will leave $4,000 for campaign ex-
penses, shrinkage on pledges and cur
rent expenses during building period.
