President A, S. Draper: DEAR SIR—Responding to your request, I advise you that, in my judgment, it will be necessary to provide for at least the following employes:

JANITORS.

One man at University Hall at $40 per month. One man at Agricultural Buildings at $32 per month. One man at Engineering Hall at $40 per month. One man at the Armory at $40 per month. One man at Electrical Laboratory at $32 per month. One man at Chemical Laboratory at $32 per month. One man at Mechanical Engineering Shops at $32 per month. One man at Testing and Hydraulic Laboratories at $32 per month. Two men at New Gymnasium at $32 per month. Three women at $1 each per working day. One student, part time, at Astronomical Observatory at $15 per month. One student, part time, at Library building at $15 per month.

HEAT, LIGHT AND POWER AND WATER STATIONS.

From six to ten men, according to the time of year, will be needed in connection with the Heat, Light and Power Station. They are paid by the hour, according to the character of the work.

GROUNDS.

In addition to the gardener and assistant, through the greater part of the year, two workmen are needed. At certain times a considerable number of workmen is imperative, and there should be authority to employ them as needed.

WATCHMEN.

A day watchman, at $50 per month, and a night watchman, at $40 per month, are employed, and should be continued. The sum of $1,000 should be appropriated, out of which extra labor can be paid for as may become necessary. I am, very truly yours,
