- THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS Cc. G. BAYLES, SUPERINTENDENT June 19, 1942 Mr. Forrest Allen Dir. of Phys. Educ. & Rec., Vars. Basketball & Baseball Coach Dear Mr. Allen Your request for improvements in the gymnasium is acknowledged, and I know they are things you need. However, the painting situation is quite uncertain. We have no paint stock on hand of the kind you will need, and because of insufficient funds have not expected to purchase any before July l. Toilet fixture purchases are out for the duration because of priority regulations. We can and will remove the running track when and if we get the Navy and all the departmental moves involved straightened out. I will plan to see you about vacating all areas you want painted a sufficient length of time for proper drying out. C. G. Bayles, Superintendent Buildings and Grounds Department C.G.B./man
