The complete remodelling o f Craig Hall was begun In February 1927 and almost com pleted before the beginning of the fiscal year, 1927-28. As reported a year ago, the old wooden floors and stairs of the building were taken out and replaced by steel and eonerote fleers and stairs so that the building is now virtually fire proof. Ose roans also were completely rearranged into classrooms, laboratories, mid offices. This trim and painting wore finished daring the m m aer of 1927, and the building was occupied in Sopteraber by the School of Business Administration and the Departeaonts o f 3eanomies and Sociology, Mathematics, and Physic a. The total cost of the re-modelling was §44,275.88, but for this cum, a first class fireproof cslnsarooa, laboratory, and office building waa secured worth approximate - ly 01OO,000.00, about §14,000.00 more than the old inventory value of tho building plus the cost of remodelling. Comparatively few repairs and replacements wore aide during the year except in the dormitories, m spit© of an unusually long ana cold winter, tlm coal consumption was bapt below the budget allowance by the maintenance of an exceptionally high degree of efficiency. A nsw schedule of charges for electricity was obtained during the year with the consent of the Public U tilities Ccmission ' from tho Missoula Public Service Company by which a saving of 20 per cent is made, approximately §2000.00 a year to tho Physical Plant and : e-aidonco H alls. The campus is in good condition; sorao grading and clearing was done, and a few extensions of' the roads, wall®, curbing, and planting wore made. The largest project was a l a m and drive in front of Corbin Ball. airing tho year the Alumni Challenge Athletic Field Corporation acquired titlo to 155 acroti of laud, HP.;1 See .34 T, 13H., I}. IS ., tho former si to of the Missoula Country Club. Tho Corporation has given its note, dated Juno 0, 1928, for tho purchase price of §12,000.00 with interest at 6 per cent, payable semi annually, and the principal payable as fo llo w §500.00 on Juno 8, 1931, '500.00 on June 8, 1933, and §1000.00 cm Juno 8 of each year thereafter until the prin cipal it paid. The note, guaranteed by tin escrow deed on the land in favor of the Missoula Mercantile Cenpany io deposited in the Yfeotem Montana national Bank. 1 It is the intention of the Corporation to give title to this land to the state as soon as the purchase price is paid, but not to request legislative appropriation for this purpose. The property is to be used as a University and municipal golf course, which w ill be not only self-supporting but is ex pected to amortize the purchase price. The thanks of the University
