An example may be found in the repair or refitting of an a.partment, to be paid out of the State appropriation for buildings and grounds. If the work were done by a carpenter not belonging to the University, he would bring in his vouchers in duplicate, be paid, and the sum would be charged in the proper account. If, instead, the work were done in the University shop, as all persons would prefer, why should not the vouchers of the department be received, as in the other case, and be charged in the same account? The receipts will be credited in the accounts of the architecturaldepartment, which employs the labor and pays for the material used. Otherwise the shop would fail to get pay for the material, etc., charged to it, or the University would be prevented from using its own facilities for its own benefit. The purpose of this report has been to give an outline of a method, with such illustrations as will show the consistency of its parts. Further details will readily arrange themselves. Respectfully submitted, S. H. PEABODY, JOHN W. BUNN, S. M. MILLARD, Committee. UBBANA, I I I . , March 10,1885.
