BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[September 21,

are, however, looking over these and are finding a great deal of material needed by the Library. Yours very truly,

P. L. WINDSOR

This report was received for record.

CATTLE FEEDING PLANT

(5) A request from the Supervising Architect that the sum of $15,000 be made available by July 1, 1917, for the construction of the Cattle Feeding Plant. Professor White states that Professor Mumford considers that the Cattle Feeding Plant which has already been approved will, with the possible extension of the feeding pens, prove adequate for the needs of the department for twenty-five years to come. If this were true, it seems that we are not justified in using frame construction except for the roof and walls above the mow floor. On the basis of fireproof construction for the stabling section and grain elevator, the total cost of the building is estimated to be $40,000, which is $15,000 more than the amount assigned for this purpose in the budget. The sum of $15,000 was appropriated for the completion of the Cattle Feeding Plant, to be charged against the budget of the year beginning July 1, 1917.

SALARY OF HARRY SWEARINGEN

(6) A request from the Supervising Architect that the salary of Mr. Harry Swearingen, a University janitor who was a member of the local infantry company ordered to the field, be paid to Mrs. Harry Swearingen at the rate of $40 a month for the month of September, or such part thereof as Harry Swearingen may be detained in the camp. The President of the University was authorized to direct the payment of salary in accordance with this request.
