Sale of First National City Bank Rights as follows: 150 rights 50 rights 150 rights 80 rights A. H. and S. H. Case Fund Spartan Fund Jenison Fund Consolidated Investment Fund 19- The following letter from Mr. May: Offer from Morley Bros, for their property I have been advised by Mr. Morley that the Board of Directors of Morley Brothers is prepared to accept an offer of $375 j> 000 for their property in East Lansing under a 15-year, lease-back arrangement under the following conditions: a. The term of the lease is to be 15 years with no renewal options. b. Annual rent is to be $26,250. c. Morley Brothers will be responsible for all maintenance (interior and exterior), insurance, taxes, etc., during the term of the lease. I have been advised by Mr. Morley that the acres of land traded to his firm last year has been deeded to the Grand Trunk Railroad in exchange for an additional strip of land along their tracks adjacent to his property. The new land acquired by Morley Brothers west of Harrison includes the lumber company which is still operating south of the Grant Trunk tracks. In all, there are approximately 15 acres of land which we would acquire with this purchase. This property includes the main ware house, offices, and showrooms containing approximately 32,000 square feet. In addition, there is a garage unit containing approximately 1500 square feet adjacent to the main building. The annual rent of $26,250 would, over the 15-year period and ssuming a % yield, amortise over $200,000 of the original investment. Stated another way, our investment in this property at the end of 15 years will be approximately $168,000. I -would like to recommend Board approval of the purchase and lease-back arrangement as an invest ment for the Pension Fund. If the Board approves, Mr. Carr should prepare the necessary contract and handle the legal details connected with the purchase. On motion of Mr. Baker, seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve items 8 and 9. MINUTES OF THE MEETING of the STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE June Ik, 1957 Present: Mr, Brody, Chairman; Messrs.
