PROCEEDINGS OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES. 151 T H E N E W MILITARY H A L L is completed and ready for occupation. The commencement exercises of tomorrow will be held there, preceded by brief dedicatory ceremonies. The Inspector General of the Division of the Missouri, TJ. S. A., reports this to be by far the best building for its purpose in the territory under his official observation. T H E IMPROVEMENTS I N T H E MACHINE SHOP. In my report of one year ago I presented an outline of the changes which would follow the opening of the military hall, which you approved. The new building is now ready and the military equipments should be moved thither, with the gun-racks. The guns may be stored as is usual during t h e long vacation. The new boiler for the shops, for which a state appropriation has been made, should be placed as soon as may be. Bids have been obtained by the professor in charge, and the work waits your approval and authority. The next step is the removal of the machine shop tools to the upper floor. All preparations have been made and the work waits only for your authority. The estimate for this work, including heating coils and steam connections, is $1,400, as per statement of Professor Woods, herewith presented. CHANGES I N SHOP. Dr. S. H. Peabody, Begent, D E A R SIR: I would respectfully submit the following summarized estimate of the cost of making the proposed changes in the mechanical shops, viz., moving the machine tools into the former drill hall, using the present blacksmith shop for a boiler room, and converting the present machine shop and boiler space into smith shop and foundry. The state appropriation of $1,250 for a new boiler is estimated to be sufficient to cover the cost of boiler and setting in place, the chimney connections, changes in piping, removing old boiler, and whatever may be found necessary in the way of repairs and renewals of return tank and feed water heater. The estimated cost of the changes is for— Erecting posts, plates, etc., for shafting Cost of new shafting, hangers, pulleys, and belting, net..
