280 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 15, the University treasurer on account of expenditures for the Students Army Training Corps, has been paid in full, with interest amounting to $90.27. Cordially yours, LLOYD MOREY This report was received for record. APPROPRIATIONS FOR T H E S M I T H MEMORIAL HAUL (29) (a) Letter from Professor James M. White concerning appropriations for the Music Building. January 28, 1919 President E. J. James DEAR SIR: On May 9 I gave you a statement with reference to the Smith Music Hall in which I estimated the total expenditures for this biennium at $177,076.50. That was on the basis of existing contracts, and was in addition to the $22,923.50 spent the previous biennium. Our total charges as of November 30, 1918, were $197,495.85, which is about $2,500.00 under the estimate given you on May 9th. On April 15, 1918, I gave you an estimate of the cost to complete the building over and above existing contracts of $196,592.00. In making up our budget we increased this to $220,000.00. That figure was based upon our estimate of June, 1917, and we expected to save something on that estimate by not employing a general contractor. The bids which we are receiving now are, however, considerably in excess of those estimates, and in putting the figure at $220,000.00 I am counting on a reduction in cost of construction during the next six months. Our partition work which in June, 1917, we figured at $10,552.00, is costing us $15,250.00. The one bid we have on ornamental iron is $20,390.00 as against our figure of $16,060.00 in June, 1917, but I expect to secure lower bids than the one we now have. Our lathing, plastering, and ornamental plaster was estimated at $27,500.00, and the one bid so far received is $34,150.00. In the $220,000 estimate we have included everything necessary to make the building ready to move into, with the exception of pianos and the organ. It includes the general furniture for the studios, offices, class rooms, library, recital hall, and the necessary window shades, lighting fixtures, etc. $12,000.00 is included for the general furnishing.. This will make the total cost of the building, exclusive of musical instruments, $417,495.85. Yours truly, JAMES M. WHITE Supervising Architect (b) Statement from the Comptroller:
