7. The Technical .5ervices Laboratory is presently oceupying space
:irovided by the Aviv. Under the conditions by this space was
obtained it was agreed we would not occupy this epees more than two
years, which period expires a year from now. It will be necessary to
find new wafters and commence, if not largely oomplete, renovation
of these new quarters in this fissal year. Amp the now location
