Several cays ago, at your suggestion, two Lansing business men conferred f with We. Hudson and myself relative to 'the possibility of procuring ninety-six acres I tion* from1 of the College.farm, directly across the road from the farm buildings on the Wood- j Dean Sharov bury estate, to be used for.the establishment of a MCountry Club11 • .We both express-! ed the opinion^that it would be a mistake for the College to offer this area for sale?, thereby reducing the total area all of wnich will be required to meet the future needs* I We did, however, express ourselves favorably relative to an exchange of the front part of the Hicks property for the College land, as it is difficult to • keep the latter fenced on account of the annual floods of the Cedar river» i ; At the second conference yesterday the Lansing representatives expressed their desire to use both the College ninety-six acre area and fully two-thirds of the front Hicks eighty. Their basis of exchange consisted in offering the back Hicks j eighty and about twenty-five acres of low 3aad of the front eighty for the College proj- perty'. As nearly all the land offered in exchange is below the high water line, .con-j sists of cold wet quick sand bottom and would be practically worthless except for. I pasturage, both Mr. Hudson and myself are strongly opposed to the slightest cons'id- j eration of such a proposition. The only form of exchange which we favor would include the front Hicks eighty, buildings and all, for the College ninety-six acre tract and I even then we are not prepared to recommend an even trade, as the Hicks farm soil is j ! as good as that of the College property. .
