Total §257258.00~

 

In order to meet this budget expense it is necesm ry
for the chapter to have forty-seven members rooming and boarding
at the house and six town members. The house members pay $47,50
per month, and the town members pay *11.00 per month. |

For the past few years the biggest problem we have
encountered has been that of unpaid house bills; however, this is
gradually ene reduced until at the present time the current
unpaid house bills are only about $100 or 8200 at the.end of each
year. This may seem a but considering six or eight years ago
the total was approximat ely $1,500 each year, there has been a
substantial decrease.

 

At the present time the chapter only has forty-four.
boys living in the house and the income is therefore below the
budget requirement by about $150.00 per month. The only expense
which decreases in proportion to the shortage of members is that of
food, and consequently there is an actual loss incurred each month,
Whether er not the chapter will be able to build up their membership
at the beginning of the second semester is uncertain. They have an
excellent group of boys, and we do not recommend that they increase
their membership eat the cost of lowering quality of men. If there
is a shortage at the end of the year, and there undoubtedly will be,
it will be necessary to postpone some major improvements to the
property and furniture which would otherwise: be done.

   
    
   
  

 

The chapter is very mich in line in 411 respects with the
other good organizations at Kansas. They have cooperated splendidly
in carrying ot the budget program which we outline each year, and
have been very diligent in all of their activities.

I sincerely hope that this letter will give you a pieture
of the local chapter as it is today. If you have any questions or
comments I shall be very happy to hear from you at any time.

Yours very truly,

FRATERNITY MANAGEMENT, INC.
