118 UNIVERSITY O F I L L I N O I S . [June 27 ? All the above appropriations are made payable by the State Treasurer, like all others in the general appropriation bill, only on receipted vouchers acceptable to the State Auditor. These funds, consequently, do not come inta the possession of the Treasurer of the Board. 1 recommend that the following salaries be made payable from State Laboratory funds at the same rate as last year: Miss Snyder, $900; H. C. Forbes y $1,100; and S. A. Forbes, $250; that Dr. Kofoid be placed in charge as supperintendent of the entire scheme of operations of the State Natural History Survey, at a salary of $1,500; that H. A. Surface, now a graduate student in zoology at Cornell University, be appointed zoological assistant of the State Laboratory at a salary of $600; that the arrangement with respect to the artist of the Laboratory, Miss Lillie Hart, be continued as before (see page 115 of the Report for '97); and that the salaries of Mr. C. A. Hart and MissAlice M. Beach, $1,000 and $720 respectively, be dropped from the Laboratory list with the understanding that they will be taken up by me and paid from the funds appropriated to the State Entomologist's office. The salary of the office assistant, Mr. Harlan E. Scott, $300, will be paid from the same fund. This leaves approximately $3,000 a year of State Laboratory funds for field and library expenses and miscellaneous assistance—a sum sufficient for our operations as they are now planned. With respect to the financial routine under the new form of the appropriations I recommend that all vouchers be signed in duplicate by those to whom payment is to be made and approved by the Director of the Laboratory before transmittal to the Auditor, except that those payable to the Director personally be endorsed as correct by the Business Agent of the State Laboratory. I would also suggest that the Director of the Laboratory be required to present a quarterly financial statement to the Trustees of the University, backed by duplicate vouchers, as evidence of the fact that the funds have been expended according to the term of the appropriation and to the assignments of the Board. Respectfully submitted, S. A. FORBES, Director of Laboratory.
