The President acted for the Board in approv ing the payment of this crane operator at fl.50 per hour until the next Board meeting. The Secretary recommends that the Christman Company be authorized to carry this operator on their payroll and to render accounts at the end of each calendar month.

Certain sheet piling and other material were necessary in connection with the construction of the bridge and had to be rented from the Christman Company at a cost of $700.00. In connection with the large i€PA project changes have been made in the WPA setup requiring the owners to purchase a larger percentage of the materials. It is requested that the Board authorize the purchase of such materials as are necessary to build the roads, bridge, sidewalks and other items included In the WPA project and authorize the transfer of such funds as are necessary from the Special Alterations and Improvements Accounts carried over from the 1938-39 fiscal year. i Dean Anthony and Director Gardner recommend the purchase of a small parcel of land adjacent to the Dunbar forestry Station at a total cost of $200 to be paid from the funds budgeted to the Forestry Department. It is feared that this lot will be purchased for resort pur poses and it might be used for purposes detrimental to the operation of the summer Forestry Camp. The budget provides funds for the purchase of the 50 acres of farm land under option from Sir. Hoohanessian at the Southwest corner of Phillips and Mt. Hope Roads, Dean Author and Director Gardner recommend that this land be purchased at this time so that Mr. Hoohanessian may be moved off the property as he hampers the operation of the work of the Animal Disease Research Department that are using the farm and buildings. Prank Stanzak, an employee of the Grounds Department, was injured while at work and de veloped a hernia. An operation was necessary and has been performed.
