PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

It is gratifying to your Committee to report that all of this work has been successfully performed without materially exceeding the appropriation. It is seldom that the expenditure in erecting a public building can be confined to a sum less than 5 per cent added to the appropriation. In this case the excess is not beyond l x 2 per cent. In this estimate there is not included the expense of the increase in the central heating plant which was necessitated by the new buildings.

The extra work which was ordered was required principally because of changes in the plans to conform to views of the members of the faculty of the College of Agriculture as the work progressed. These changes have improved the working possibilities of the buildings for the College. Respectfully submitted,
