       E. Request of Fayette County Registration and Purgation Board.

       President Donovan stated that he had a request from the Fayette Co. Regis-
tration and Purgation Board for the University to provide two precinct polling
places on the University campus. He read the following letter:



                                                      May 14, 1954

       Dr. Herman L. Donovan
       Pre sident
       University of Kentucky

       Dear Dr. Donovan:

          As the "citizen" member of the Fayette County Registration
       and Purgation Board, I have been requested by the County Judge
       to help find better polling places in our county than many of those
       now used.  Many polling places have been in private garages
       which are dirty, illheated, with poor or no lighting, no sanitary
       facilities for election officers, and often with only a dirt floor.
       The atmosphere of such a place is not conducive either to interest-
       ing the electorate in exercising the civic obligation to vote or to
       inducing respected citizens to serve as election officers.  The
       best type of polling place is, of course, in a school building or
       other public building because the facilities, such as heat, light,
       lavatories for use of election officers, and general cleanliness are
       superior to those in most private businesses or residences avail-
       able for such use, and because the general atmosphere in a school.
       building is more conducive to compliance in full with the election
       laws.

          The following precincts use garages which do not meet the
       standards for a good polling place: Boliva-, Columbia Avenue, and
       Clifton. The University of Kentucky is located in all three pre-
       cincts. Inasmuch as the County School Board has long permitted
       use of its school buildings for polling places, Superintendent Ridg-
       way is recommending to the Lexington Board of Education the grant-
       ing of our request for use of Henry Clay High School and Russell

     School, and Miss Virginia Hayes is recommending to the Library
     Board the use of the Lexington Public Library, I wish to request
     of you permission for use of three University facilities.

         First is the use of the University Training School gymnasium
     as the polling place for Bolivar Precinct. Dr. Ginger, with whom
     I talked to explore this possibility, felt as I did that this use of the
     Training School would represent a great improvement in voting
     facilities in Bolivar Precinct. The gymnasium can be entered
     directly from Scott Street, and the general school program would
     not be disturbed. Gymnasium classes would be interrupted for
     only one day during the year, namely in November, inasmuch as
     the August primary occurs at a time when the school is not in ses-
     sion.

         For Columbia Avenue Precinct I should like to request use of
     a room or a corridor in the Fine Arts Building. This would be a
     great improvement over the present garage on Rose Street across
     from the Fine Arts Building.

         For Clifton Precinct which uses a poor garage, the Dairy Products
     Building on Rose Street appears to offer an excellent possibility.

         I can assure you that the Election Commission, the county
     judge, s special committee to find better polling places, and the
     Registration and Purgation Board would all deeply appreciate your
     granting of the request for use of the University facilities as regular
     polling places in the three precincts mentioned.

                                                Sincerely yours,

                                 (Signed)       Gladys M. Kammerer



     Members of the Committee discussed the request and expressed sympa-
thy with the efforts of the Fayette County Registration and Purgation Board
to improve voting places and facilities for people of Lexington and Fayette
County.  They discussed the possible implications of the University making
available facilities for voting stations in elections.

     Members of the Committee recalled former discussions of members of
the Board of Trustees with reference to politics, and the misinterpretation
by the public when one of the county precincts was known as the "Experiment
Station precinct. "

     Members of the Committee,being advised, and the question being thor-
oughly discussed, upon motion duly made, seconded and unanimously carried
declined to approve the request.

      F. Purchase of House and Lot at 244 College View.

      President Donovan reported that the Comptroller had recommended the
purchase of a house and lot at 244 College View. The lot is 36 feet wide and
90; feet deep. It is immediately to the rear of the Coliseum.  The residence
is a weatherboard house, consisting of four rooms downstairs, with kitchen,
bath and small porch.  The house has one room in the attic which has been
roughly finished. The house is in pretty good state of repair and is offered
for sale at $7, 500. 00. President Donovan recommended purchase.

     Members of the Committee discussed the location of the property, and
upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, purchase of 244 College View
was authorized at a price of $7, 500, same to be paid from the Haggin Fund.



     G. Purchase of House and Lot at 218 Maxwell Street and House and
Lot at 209 College View.

     President Donovan submitted a plat of these properties which showed
that 218 Maxwell Street has a front footage of 60 feet and a depth of 300 plus
feet, and 209 College View has a front footage of 32-plus feet and a depth of
81 feet, at which point the lot widened to a width of approximately 60feet
for a depth of about 100 additional feet, more or less.

     The Comptroller explained that 218 Maxwell Street has a two-story
brick residence and two small houses on the rear part of the lot.

     The lot at 209 College View has a one-story frame residence on it con-
sisting of seven rooms in a good state of repair.

     The property at 218 Maxwell Street is available at a price of $21, 500.
The property at 209 College View is offered for sale at $11, 000.

     There is some question as to just where the line between these proper-
ties falls, since the owner of 218 Maxwell Street in former years sold to the
owner of 209 College View a part of the back end of the lot.  There are dif-
ferent opinions as to the location of the line fence.

     The Comptroller recommended that these two pieces of property be
purchased simultaneously in order to avoid any question whatsoever as to
the dividing line, since they are both available for sale and the University
desires an entrance on the north side of College View Avenue.

     President Donovan recommended that the properties be purchased with
the hope of developing ahousing court in this area.

     Members of the Committee examined the plat and discussed the location
of both pieces of property and the use the University wished to make of them.

     Upon motion duly made, seconded and carried, the house and lot at
218 Maxwell Street was authorized purchased at a price of $21, 500, and the
house and lot at 209 College View was authorized purchased at a cost of
$11, 000. These properties are to be paid for from the Haggin Fund.

     H. Sale of 163 Pralltown Lot,

     President Donovan reported that the University had purchased, about a
year ago, a vacant lot at 163 Prall Street for the sum of $800.  At that timle
the Slum Clearance Commission was interested in acquiring the area known
as Pral.town.  The University is now offered for this lot, which is 31 feet
by 100 feet, the sum of $1100, which is a gain of about 27%.  President Don-
ovan and the Comptroller recommended that this lot be sold.
