NORTH FARM. ,

URBANA, ILLINOIS, September 12, 1899.

lo the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. Your Committee respectfully reports that it has ordered that as far as possible the location, size, and depth of existing drains be determined, and that two maps of the north farm be made; one for the use of the Trustees and the other for the use of the farm. The Committee recommends, 1. That appropriations be made for draining the horticultural grounds in accordance with the plans shown by a map of the horticultural plat. As the present drain is too small to carry but a small part of the water, it will be necessary to run a twelve-inch main to the slit basin south of University HalL 2. That a brick wall be put under the tool barn and that a new roof be put on the warehouse. 3. That the barbed wire fence about the barns and lanes be replaced by a suitable stock fence, and that the posts for the fence on the north, west, and south of plats 1, 2, 15, 16, and 17, and on the south of plats 13 and 14 be replaced by new posts. Your Committee recommends that appropriations be made for these purposes as follows:
