CALIF, GAMMA - Report August 29th. House unoccupied. University expected to rent
house for use of Army in September. Bresee-Warner System reports that by Septem-
ber 8th, 50 Army men will be in house. House corporation should have no trouble

as there is no mortgage on house.

Allen Emery reports September 17th that apparently alumni are making an effort to
keep chapter alive.

CALIF. DELTA - No mortgage on house and house corporation has about $40,000.00
invested in securities.

CALIF. EPSILON » No report. House corporation has mortgage of $8,857.00.

For those chapters whose houses are rented and where the income from the rental is
needed to take care of mortgage obligations, the matter of rent insurance is sug-

gested for consideration. In case the house is destroyed by fire, this insurance

will pay the rent during the period of reconstruction.

Harlan B. Selby,
Vice President.

Notes In October, the Pennsylvania Iota house was leased by the University
for occupancy by Army trainees at what is understood to be the usual
