FIXED INDEBTEDNESS, C O L L E G E OF MEDICINE.

(22) A statement from the Acting Comptroller concerning the fixed indebtedness secured by the properties of the College of Medicine and Dentistry. March 16, 1915. President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois. DEAR SIR : For your convenience, the enclosed schedule shows in condensed form the fixed indebtedness secured by our Medical and Dental properties, as well as the amounts which presumably will be paid by the University of Illinois during the remainder of the present fiscal year and during the fiscal years 1915-16 and 1916-17. It should be noted that, while no installment of the amount due to the Chicago Board of Education is due this fiscal year, the entire principal amount of $56,000 is due on July 1, 1916. If this principal is met a t that time, the entire amount necessary to meet the obligations on account of this fixed indebtedness during the biennium 1915-17 will be $79,358.84. Inasmuch as the bonds state that interest shall be paid to the holders of the bonds, free from any deductions on account of taxes, etc., it is necessary for the University to deposit, on account of the Normal Income Tax, an amount equal to one per cent of the interest paid.' Approximately fifty per cent of this income tax. deposit is returned to the University. Of the total bond interest paid, the amount of $528 is returned to the University on account of bonds held by it. The item "charges of fiscal agents" consists of a charge of one-fourth of one per cent on account of payment of coupons, and a charge of one-eighth of one per cent for reporting to the Federal Government under the Income Tax Law. Yours very truly,
