U N I V E R S I T Y OF I L L I N O I S .

[June 24=

re-laid during the summer, which will necessitate excavating from the south end of the Electrical Laboratory across to the greenhouse; this will cost $200.00. This ends the specific recommendations with regard to buildings. The exterior painting is being done in accordance with the definite policy to paint exterior woodwork once in four years, and the metal work of roofs every second year. The interior painting is something which can be deferred without, detriment to the building, but I am sure you will agree that we have not kept the interiors of our buildings up to a very high standard. We should lay some additional walks this summer, and I trust the location of the new University Hall will make it possible for us to put in concrete walks to the Woman's building during the summer. There should also, be better lighting on the south campus and as soon as a campus plan can be reasonably definitely determined upon, I shall recommend the lighting of the south campus by means of incandescent lamps, at rather frequent intervals. The additional generator capacity which we expect to put in this summer, will make it possible for us to provide for the adequate lighting of the south campus. I hope that at the next meeting of the Board of Trustees, the total amount of $15,865.00 may be appropriated for repairs to be made under the direction of the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Respectfully submitted,

JAMES M. WHITE,

Supervising
