220 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 8, basement so that by the time the building is entirely restored we can turn over to the Y. M. C. A. a going proposition, and I hope under those circumstances to arrange for the cancellation of the lease as of January first. The work of restoration at the Residence Hall has been progressing rapidly, and I think in this building, as well as in the case of the Y. M. C. A., we shall be able to make a definite charge for restoration, rather than an estimated one, in our final settlement. The lease with the S. M. A. provides that the commanding officer and the University are to adjust all financial questions with reference to buildings and equipment, and we shall probably be able to complete that adjustment this week. The value of the equipment purchased for use in connection with the instructional work is about $10,500.00. It may be that the University can use most of this advantageously, but there is some of it for which we have no use whatsoever. The only construction charge upon which there may be a difference of opinion is that for the addition to the Old Armory. This building is unquestionably of value to us, and yet not of permanent value, and we have not decided upon an equitable settlement on this charge. Yours truly, JAMES M. WHITE Supervising Architect This report was received for record. ELECTRIC C U R R E N T FOR Y. M. C. A. H U T (19) A request from the Y. M. C. A. that the University provide electrical current for lighting the Y. M. C. A. hut at the corner of Wright and Green streets until the close of the academic year, as the War Council of the Y. M. C. A. will leave the hut for the use of the local Y. M. C. A. organization until that time. The President of the University was given authority to furnish electrical current for the hut without charge. RENTAL FOR ATHLETIC F I E L D (20) A letter from Judge Harker and associates concerning the payment of rent to the University Athletic Association for the use of the Athletic Field lying next to the Illinois Central Railroad, and a recommendation from the Supervising Architect as to the amount of rent. October 22, 1918 Bean David Kinley, Vice-President^ University of Illinois DEAR S I R : The University of Illinois Athletic Association owns twenty acres of land situated between First Street and the Illinois Central Railroad and immediately South of Armory Avenue. This land is held in trust for the Association by Judge Harker, Professor G. A. Goodenough, and Director George Huff. It has come to the attention of the above named trustees that this ground is being used and has been used since February 1, 1918 by the University of Illinois for the School of Military Aeronautics as a shooting ground*
