PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

REPORT OF B U D G E T COMMITTEE.

943

(15) The following statement: I desire to call the attention of the Board of Trustees to the fact that it will be quite impossible to carry out the building program which the board has discussed and approved in a general way within a reasonable time without appropriations in excess of the revenue likely to be produced by the mill t a x ; that is, if the other reasonable demands of the University budget as to increase of salaries of the professors, increase of the staff, and increase of the equipment, are met. I held a conference with the deans of the schools requiring the largest appropriation for equipment and additions to staff and increase in salaries, and they join in a petition to the board to request the next Legislature for a special onehalf mill tax for the period of five years to be used exclusively for additions to the plant.

No action was taken.
