Dear Chancellor Malott,

-¥ @m answering your letter of Sept. 15 regarding the leakage in
_ the swimming pool. On August 14 and 29 I wrete to Hr. Bayles

calling his attention to the dangerous condition of the pipes :
and railing in the pool. On Sept. 6 I received a letter from | vr
Mr. Bayles making note of my letter and stating that “Since the | |
Extension Division suddenly scheduled a convention right in the
middle of our short repair period between August § and Sept. 10
we found that we did not have time to perform a major operation
on these pipe lines. ‘Therefore wo decided to paint them up and
wait until some future vacetion time when we would have sufficient
time to do the work.”

Regarding the leakage, I believe that this hes been going on for
@ period of several years. Plumbers from time to time have said
it was impossible for them to stop the leak unless they tore out
tho wall and went back in under the excavation. We asked for
relief of.a very bad situation here for a number of years but it
Soems as if the University never has any money. Frankly, Chan-
eeller, I do not know what to do. Of course I an referring this
to Mr. Bayles, but he has no funds I don't know what we can do
er it.

I am sure thet Mr. Bayles has spent all the funds that he can on
this old bullding that was built in 1906 for 1200 studente. I
an sorry that Mr. Bayles was not with you when you made the ine.
spection because doubtless he could give you the history of our
implerations for relief. I told Mr, Bayles that Mr. Eberhart,
the plumber and Mr. Brown, the painter, had called my attention
to the pipes that were rusted so badly that they presented a hazard
to the students if they should break. Moles have rusted clear
‘through the pipes, but these have not been repaired. I assure you
of my hearty desire to cooperate and I am only sorry that my
