1:.  Acceptance  from  the  fire  insurance  companies  of  a  settlement  cf  §13,665  covering  build-

ing  damage  by  f i r e.  This  settlement  will  include  items  of  expense  totaling  approximately
§600.00  that  have  been  incurred  by  -the  Estate  as  a  consequence  of  the  f i r e.

2.  Acceptance  from  the  insurance  company  of  less  of  rent,  due  to  f i r e,  $6,075*00.  •

3*  Approval  of  cancellation  of  the  lease  contract  with  the  Woolworth  Sonrpariy  on  the  basis  of
;  a  cash  settlement  on  the  part  of  the  Woolworth  Company  of  893*100,  less  the  rent  paid  in

advance  for  the  period  from  February  10th-through  February  28th.

4-  Approval  of  a  nev;  lease  with  the  W* T.  Grant  Company  including  the  following  provisions:

a.  Payment  of  net  rental  cf  312,000  per  year.
b.  New building  to  be  constructed  on  the  present  s i te  with  the  t o t al  cost  of  t h is

building  to  be  paid  for  'oj  the  Grant  Company  in  equal monthly  installments  over
the  25-ye&r  period  of  the  lease,  with  an  interest  rate  of  3% °n  *&e unpaid  balance.

annual  payments  to  the  college  t o t al  ^16,025*

building  that  is  70  years  old  ap.d  obsolete.)
