put on the Urbana office, together with all the problems incident to the development of the new Civil Service System and the new employer-employee council plan. On top of these burdens is now to be added the work incident to the 5% Federal Withholding T a x , which we must now apply to every payroll. Consequently, the transfer of work to Chicago will just about offset the growth of work in the Urbana office from various causes beyond that provided by the present organization. T h e following annual budget estimate for the new program in Chicago is submitted: Personnel Assistant $2 400 Payroll Clerk I 500 Other Expense 350 Travel 150 Total $4 400 T h e travel item is chiefly for expenses of the Chicago employee representative on the University Civil Service Committee to attend meetings at Urbana. The term "Other Expense" is to include printing, postage, telephone, and other office expense. Approximately half of the present year will have elapsed before the new organization can be established, and consequently, although the appropriation should be for $4,400 in order to establish the matter on a recurring basis, the sum of $1,000 can be immediately lapsed back into the General Reserve representing unused portions of the salary items. T h e full expense budget will be needed even for this year because certain items of equipment are needed to set up the work which will not recur next year but which will be offset by the full year's operating expenses. I call your attention to the fact that the item of Personnel Assistant is included in the budget for next bienmum as it now stands and that the items of expense can be taken care of within that budget if that budget is approved. The Payroll Clerk item is a clear addition and would be necessary either here or in Chicago as a result of the added burden of federal deductions. I urgently request that this additional budgetary provision for the personnel and payroll work be made as promptly as possible. Cordially yours,

LLOYD MOREY, Comptroller
