Gentlemen;
Referring to iur conversation last Friday regarding
Fire Department service for Earlham ; I am glad to advise that at the
meeting of the Board of Trustees last Saturday , it was directed that -
we have a fire department service item put on the insurance policies
covering the College Buildings in order that the College might show
their appreciation, through their insurance , for the kindness of the
City in giving them this service in connection with the College Buildings.
If you can find it possible to waive the charges now standing against
the College , it will be appreciated , and in the future reimbursement,
at least to a small degree, •will be furnished through their insurance.
• Signed; Atwood Jenkins.
