San Antonio, Taxes.
December 5, 1929.
Dear Sir:
Attention - Mr. Arthur Sfehr.
Youra of December % was forwarded to me at
Philadelphia, from which plaoe I have just this moment re-
turned and I hasten to answer that communication.
X think we can get together on the residence, but
I know that the rest of the members on the Committee on Build-
ings are not at all satisfied with the location as shown on
your last blue print and I am sure they will not be convinced
by reading your letter.
The Board of Directors mat on December 16 and in
order to give your arguments the proper consideration I take it
that you and your entire office should get busy and furnish us
with a new layout for the residence portion of Concordia College
in true relationship to the Academic group, as well as other
existing layouts of the grounds*- in a blue print drawing and if
possible in triplicate.
X know this change will mean a lot of study, but be-
lieve that the views of the members hers, who have had fifteen
years experience at our various institutions, should rather be
taken very seriously by our local brethren. In order to help
Austin and not to delay the building of the residence a moment
longer than necessary X would again urge you to give this most
intense study and submit to us maybe even more than one solution
of the residence question as you see it.
ibsn you speak of possibly ten residences in the future
that may be Just a little far fetched • However, it is well to con-
sider additional homes.
Kindest of greetings.
BPi^Sev. Wra. Hagen
