22 UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS. [Sept. 20 There are unpaid approved bills in the hands of the comptroller to -the amount of $1,915.95, and there are others in the hands of Dr. Steele. He claims that a part of the bills paid and of those unpaid should be assumed by the University as being a part of the expenses for the year which begins September 1, 1910. Some of the receipts above reported also belong to that year. (See Dr. Steele's letter of September 1, 1910.) His suggestion that a joint committee be appointed to adjust this matter seems a good and proper one., APPROPRIATIONS. The appropriations asked for by Paper I were made on motion of Mrs. Bahrenburg and by the following vote: Ayes, Governor Deneen, Messrs. Aboti, Blair, Crebs, Grout, Hatch, and Moore and Mrs. Bahrenburg, Mrs. Busey, and Mrs. EVans; noes,.none; absent, Mr. Meeker. LAYING OF T H E CORNER S T O N E OF A B R A H A M LINCOLN HALL.
