The above figures are based on
ideal conditions and the assumption
that every room will be in i^se.
Naturally, there will be periods
during which some of the rooms
will not be occupied and it is there
for evident that to borrow the mon
ey, erect and equip* the dormitor
ies, and retire the loan through
the revenue derived from renting
the rooms, is next to impossible.
The method now in use at A and

There are several hundred rooms
in various buildings that are are
bringing in revenue and that
are paid for. The only expense
as far as these rooms are concern

the utilities. After these obligations
have been met there is a balance
of approximately $18.00 ms shown with ^
