The overdraft on the toilet room was made necessary, as the plumbing contract alone amounted alone to more than the appropriation. Mr. Bullard, chairman of the building and grounds committee, knows of some of the above matters. I assume t h a t the cost of moving and fitting up the new farm house,* is to be met out of farm receipts as no special appropriation has been made for the same. Respectfully submitted,
