Lear ar. herrpner: note what you say abcut what Dr. Ettlinger stated in regard to the subscriptions and I agree that that is correct. However, it is of the utmost importance to the project at this time to have the whole amount pay- ble, if it does nct work a hardship on you. am enclosing a copy of the minutes of the last meet- ing of the B'nai B'rith hillel Building Fund, so that .-ou may know all that transpired at that meeting. The actual cost of the building will be slightly in excess of $166,000.00, including the architects' fees. The committeee had hoped that the cost cf the building would >e W135,000.00, including architects' fees. Person- ily, I was not that sanguine.
