APPROPRIATIONS FOR BUILDINGS A letter from the Comptroller in re appropriation for buildings. May 17, 1918 President Edmund J. James, University of Illinois (23) M Y DEAR PRESIDENT J A M E S : The appropriation of $250,000 for building projects included in the budget for 1917-18 (page 454), has been exhausted. I am advised by the Supervising Architect that disbursements amounting to approximately $100,000 will likely be necessary before July 1. This sum includes the following estimates: Music Building , $ 35,000 Education Building 60,000 Sundry projects 5,000. Total , $100,000 I would therefore recommend that an additional appropriation of $100,000 be made by the Board of Trustees to meet these estimates. The expenditures under this appropriation to date have been made almost entirely from the State appropriation for buildings, and in addition there have been charged against that appropriation as many items included in other parts of the budget as were from their nature possible and proper. T h e biennial appropriation of $500,000 for buildings shows at this time therefore a balance of approximately $215,000. Of the above estimated disbursements approximately $65,000 will be paid from this balance, the expenditures on account of the Music Building being made from the General Fund. T h e r e will therefore be available from the State appropriation approximately $150,000 for next year's budget. Cordially yours, LLOYD MOREY On motion of Mr. Trimble, this recomiiiiendation was approved.
