The expense incurred in this work has been $90, and we ask t h a t this amount be appropriated for t h a t purpose. We recommend t h a t Professor Ricker be paid the balance due on his contract as architect of Natural History Hall—$250. We ask t h a t $250 be appropriated for gas fixtures for Natural History Hall, to be used under the direction of the committee and architect. The heating apparatus and plumbing contracts for Natural History Hall will be completed before the next meeting of this board. We ask t h a t you empower your committee to accept the work and pay for the same when satisfactorily completed. Your board failed to appropriate the $1,500 asked in our report of Sept. 13th, and we ask you now to appropriate this sum to be used on building and on heating and furnishing as may be needed. This amount will complete the work as there reported. Respectfully submitted,
