Trustee McLean, from Committee on Buildings and Grounds, made the following report:

To the President and Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois: The undersigned, to whom was referred the matter of over expenditure of $80.99 in fitting up Janitor's rooms, would report that the original estimates of cost of the changes contemplated in the Janitor's rooms were increased in the belief that the flooring joists and studding in said rooms could be used again in refitting, but were found to be decayed and entirely worthless; it therefore became necessary to purchase new lumber. We therefore recommend that the expenditure made on the same be allowed and warrants drawn on the treasury for amount. We further recommend, however, that in all cases expenditures authoiized by this Board should not exceed the appropriations made therefor. Respectfully submitted, ALEX. McLEAN, G. A. FOLLANSiEE, Committee,

The report was received and the recommendations adopted.
