PURCHASE OF COLLEGE PLACE LOTS

(19) In further development of the policy adopted by the Board for the acquisition of College Place, on the advice of the Supervising Architect, I recommend the purchase of the following property: Lot 87 (vacant) 56' frontage—from J. W . Lloyd $3,000 Lot 114 (vacant) 56' frontage—from J. VV. Lloyd 3,000 Lot 81, with house, 54' frontage—from J. W . Lloyd 11,000 Lot 35, with house, 75' frontage—from I. K. Martin 12,000 Lot 2, with house, 51^2' frontage—from Walkington 9,000 These properties and prices have been carefully investigated and considered by Professor White and the real estate man who has long acted as our agent in such negotiations. These men consider the prices reasonable, as I also do from what knowledge I have of similar sales. I recommend that the sum of $38,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be appropriated from the lapsed balances for 1923-24 to purchase the above properties, and that the Supervising Architect be authorized to complete the negotiations and prepare contracts to be executed by the President and the Secretary of the Board, according to the rules of the Board concerning contracts.
