1954/12/28 : Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.101778)
Date: December 28 1954Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton who is in Santa Barbara, California. They had the staff Christmas party and invited wives of all employees, since some live on the grounds. The farm sale brought in $8000. He details the equipment sold and kept for the Arboretum. He mentions the livestock, which is being fed out. Some of the equipment not sold was upgraded in a trade-in deal. Afterwards they should have $30,000 - $40,000 in cash from Lisle Farms. They are cementing in fencing posts along the Lacey property and can add the wire before spring. They have torn down the hog house, the chicken house and the horse barn at the home farm. Plans are underway for the new South Farm buildings and the housing development. Ed Baker will be challenging the proposed routing of the Toll Road. Once the weather is cold enough they will move the pines. Thanks from all of the staff for adding to the Christmas season.

1954/09/27: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.101930)
Date: September 27 1954Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He comments at length on various ongoing projects. He approves the sale to Mr. Scott of the lands and 2 buildings north of the quarter section line. He approves tearing down unnecessary farm buildings, but will discuss in more detail when they meet on October 20. He approves the transfer of equipment from Lisle Farms which the Arboretum can use, and to keep 3 men on the Lisle Farms payroll until clean up is completed next March. He approves of the general project for 12 houses, including a well, which should be located and dug as soon as possible. He is prepared to enter into an arrangement with the Herboths which would give the Arboretum their property and the Ackley property. He has signed the proposal from Lord & Burham, which can proceed. He likes the new Ford tractor which could save labor costs if properly operated and maintained. He approves of the suggested arrangement with White and his son in law. White is of more value to the Arboretum than doing the farming. He is glad that Ed is working to acquire the McMahan property and the Jones property. He offers the suggestion that they might consider selling some of the outlying properties to raise the money. Any balance in the Lisle Farms account should go toward cleaning up South Farm. He comments on politics in Washington.

1954/12/28: Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.101941)
Date: December 28 1954Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Clarence E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton, in Santa Barbara to update him. They invited the wives of all employees to the Christmas party. There were 45 people in all. He details the results of the farm equipment sale, which brought in $8,000. The sheep and steer are being fed out. Some equipment was kept for Arboretum use. After the sale they used $5,700 to pay the difference on equipment that was traded-in, which he itemized. Ed Myers, the mechanic, will overhaul the cub tractors, which will be traded-in later for newer models. Ever after modernizing the Arboretum equipment, they should have between $30,000 and $40,000 cash to turn over from Lisle Farms. The posts are cemented for the cyclone fence along the Lacey land, and they can put the wire on before spring. At South Farm they are tearing down the corn crib, the old hog house, the chicken house and the horse barn at the home. Fischer's man is gathering data for the South Farm improvement and housing development, which will later go out for bid. Ed Baker will tell the Toll Road Commission that their plan is not acceptable, namely through the center of the University of Illinois land, the SE corner of the Arboretum and the N side of the Public Service line.
