Mr. Hartman then read a copy of a letter of January 14, 1949, addressed to President Darden,
in which it was pointed out that the credit offered for Alternate #1, substitution of flat roof over
pitched roof on the rear of the Addition, was $1,865.00 and that the credit offered for omission of the
Elevator machine (elevator shaft and elevator doors to be installed now, with elevator to be installed
when the money is available) was $5,785.00, and that if we accept these credits we would still require
$17,910.00 to enable the contract to be let.

Mr. Hartman pointed out that the Art Commission had approved the plans with either a pitched
or flat roof on the rear as satisfactory.

The plans, showing flat and pitched roof, were reviewed by the Board. The President recommended
that the alternate plan for this building, with gabled roof in front and small flat section in
the rear, be approved. After a full discussion Mr. Anderson moved that the flat roof be approved and
the credit of $1,865.00 be accepted for this change. This was duly seconded and approved. Also the
omission of the Elevator was approved with the credit of $5,785.00.
