fore the Lission acts upon the Recommekdations sent to it for a votethore

are a number of items upon which I
TRANSFER OF FUSAN TO AUSTRALIAN LI

am to write you at once

;gion.

The Com. endorsedthe letter1
the Chairman dated Feb. 14, to the Board on this subject.

It was passed that this Committee having examined the statement of cost
and estimate of valuation of Fusan and Lilyang property, as prepared by
Mr. Geo. H. w inn, and modified and endorsed by the i ission Property Com. , ap-
prove of the same.

It was passed that we recommend to the Board that our work inf South
Lyeng Jang Province be turned over to the Australian Lission <5n the con- n
dition that they guarantee for the Fuaan property YEN43,S03.00 the total

original cost of the board's land and property. — 1 - — — — 1 *

The present valuation of the property in Fusan by members of tne miasiex
Proper tv Jo, a. is «ui Y35,7CC.OO and Land YC0,500.00.

The cost of the property in Lilyang v>as^Y5J59. CO and present valuation
is made the same as no notice need be taken UT"(T5preciat ion in value of
the buildings or of Jbe increase of value of the land since the Australia
Lission wish to take it over at its original cost.

After myletter of Feb. 14th enclosing Lr inn's/statement as to the property
I received another letter from/iim saying that he had evidently erred as 4r
to the value of the land, and'stating that further investigation together*} /
with estimates from possible purchasers showed the value to be mueh les:

^than his former estimate.

rVo p-^TtT^CTrrrrr^T s o iTTcon junction with the Exec. Com. considered the
whole matter with the result that the enclosed st-atement is sent you .

This is in accord with your request in Letter No. 181.

,Ve shall therefore look fox. .a., definite decision on the *part of the Board
with authorization and "Tns true t ions as to the sale of Lfcf^^oporty .

The Australians are impatiently awaiting a definite decision as all theit

TRUSTEES FOR INCORPORATION .

Pending word from the Board approving Incorpo-
F ration, preliminary steps and preparations only can be undertaken, but the
Committee in accord with Lission action has selected the following as the
persons to form the Incorporating Trustees ;-

Secretary and Treasurer, J.F.Genso,; other members, -H.G. Underwood, Z.K. kil-
ler , A. L. Sharrocks , R.C. Reiner, Alex. A. ieters/ S. A. Moffett, J .G.Koldcrof t
and Z.fagin.

iv.ost of these are the men vfno have had to do with all property matters and
Deeds in their respective Stations.

Incorporation seems to us a necessity as without it we shall have many
complications in the future as we may now have if the strict letter of
the law is followed, which however is not likely as the authorities recog-
nize the impossibility of having all deeds in regular form under previous
administrations. _Fusan deeds are still in names of Baird, Sidebothara ,and

considerable importance to the Board, and

iuestion will arise
of that 1 now write

L

of

the

7 pr?:r o

The present law 1 believe provides for a stamp tax
'in case of sale and of 1/2,* in case of transfer without price.

Roughly estimating Board property in Korea 1 suppose transfers to
.vMue of at least a killion of Yen worth of land aside from the
’taust be made when the Trustees are incorporated.

If regarded as sales the tax would be someY20 JOOG. CO or
some Y5,G0C.CC would have to be paid.

It will be unjust to require the Board to pay such sums
reason deeds to property are held as they are i.s that the government has
never given any facilities for the proper recording <bf deeds although
we and tha American Ministers and Consuls have for over 2C years been
requesting such facilities and if granted the property would long since

if as transfers

Passed ^that the Chairman be 'requested to inform thg__Board on the
subject of the Increased taxes for the present year ,( beginning a/tII 1st.
1914) an estimated increase of possibly Yen 5 ,CC^7CCT which itK^s ^evident-
ly impossible to meet from the budget, and must be met as anfem^r^ency

Heretofore in Seoul, Taiku and ryengyang we fchave paid bract loAlly no taxes

a Provincial Tax.

The first two will tax each of our houses Y each, the Administration

tax on land will be7/lC00 of the assessed valuation per tsubo,the munici-
pal tax may be l/2 of that and the Provincial tax l/lC .

1 do not know that the tax is especially high, but where for years we have
?paid nothing, it seems a large sum to pay although it is perfectly just
ithut we should pay taxes.

'WF he point is that the budget cannot furnish the amount needed. Vie shall

rhe Com. instructed me to give to the Board the fact 3 in reference to thi^
as we felt that you ought not to he ignorant of them.

The Japanese Congeregat ionalist -hurch has begun a mission here for work
among Koreans and kr.Aatase the Superintendent has recently endeavored to
raise Yloo,ooo.oo in Japan for an aggressive movement .This I understand
he has been raising largely from non-Christians, prominent business men
like Baron 5hihusaw8 , the Mitsui Company &c.

n« "epo^ts some SCO'' *';',roan converts o~* adherents .‘"ost of these were so-
cured by taking over disaffected groups fro** *>e s or Presbyter-

ians, vy receiving suspended or excommunicated people from our churches,
and through the efforts of men deposed from the rainist-y or dropped . from
employment by the Methodists or Presbyter ians . 3o we are led to believe
from the reports from the southern Presbyterians ,the Methodists g the 1mw=i
Kang-kei and Cyen-chun missionaries.

They are reported to be paying large salaries , more than our Korean
es are giving their pastors and evangelists, and also to attempt

of our members become dissatisfied over local

church-
work
chmrch dis-

wnerever any
turbances .

The koreans look upon it as a nationalist movement rather than a relig-
ious one, and it certainly looks as though it has in it considerable
in the way of difficulties for our work, and it promises to raise many
delicate questions.

Cf course any thing we may say or do in the matter will be interpreted as
anti-Japanese feeling rather than as concern for the interests of the
church, and we are .not saying anything publicly f but wo think you should b
be made acquainted with what promises to Tsecomc a factor in the work in
Korea.

American Board missionaries in Japan have frequently asked about this

He writes- "Your request for my views relative to the Board le
ting the Ex. Com. to do something abfout the Andong Hospital, can b
with the one statement that I think Dr.Br&wn has been so swamped w
work and worries that he has forgotten the difficulties under whi
in the inland stations labor. In the first place I can hardly believe that ,
i.irs . Schauf f ler expected to see a picture of the completed building^ f t

she asked for it, because I have written to her within the past year" tell*
ing her of the delays and difficulties and sending pictures of
buildings, site , etc . In the second place Dr. Brown should have told haT.’,,a£,

1 have no doubt he did, of the necessity for slow movement."

Dr. Smith then explains that he was sent to Andong Oct . 1912 , that the pupsfc r-
chase of the site was then in progress and not yet fully completed al*-
though enough is bought to go ahead with building; that in order to burn
brick he bought brushwood all through the winter and spring each market d- ■ -/
day in order to get enough; that the brick burners worked from April isv
to N'w.uth for his house and dispensary, having now on hand 9oooo brick;
that lumber native and foreign ha' to be bought ; that standing timber was
bought, men sent up in the winter to f«l A tMt these had to be

floate'1 down stream waiting for the fail ^ains as the Spring rise was not
sufficient and that even then some of the timbers were stranded and still
waiting for more rain than last year; that some lumber had to come from th
Yalu fiver North and then brought up the river to Andong; that lumber and
hardware had to be ordered ftom America which they hope to get in time
to come up the river at the Spring rise; thatthe roofing was bought in
Shanghai China last Summer, but has

all of which seems sufficient to show why we are not able to send photos

My Dear Dr. Moffett —

The other day I sent the copies of the "Conspiracy Case”
to you and the others whom you pointed out. Did you -ret them?

I have not received acknowledgment from any others, but I believe
trey have got them. As I told you, the other day I left the
Chronicle and entered a business firm, but I am sorry to find

the position unpleasant. I am determined to resign. In this

connection might I ask you to secure me a position In any schools

or other institutions under your care in Korea. As teacher, I

have experience in Japanese middle schools. I taught there

English and history. As for the other qualifications of mine,

X was an assistant to the Manager in a Japanese and a German

firms. Please be kino enough to enable me to find myself in

Korea again.

Yours faithfully,

Y. Arima
