298 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 15, Some of these instructors will receive no pay, some will come for expenses and others will have to paid a small amount. The variation in salary is dependent upon the kind of positions which they now hold. The cost, as estimated by Miss Bevier and I, would not exceed $1500 and we should try to hold it down below $1200. Miss Richardson informed me that we may expect an enrollment of from fifty to sixty people. In connection with the cost I wish to point out the fact that we shall have left from our Smith-Hughes budget for this year over $5,000. An early decision in this matter is essential. The same sort of work might very well be done in agriculture and Mr. Nolan would be glad to undertake it. The cost there would be less because more of our men are on the job. I think that I could run the two courses in home economics and in agriculture for about $2200. I am particulraly anxious to get the home economics started. Very truly yours, W. W. CHARTERS This matter was referred to the President of the University with power to act. (57) A letter from the Comptroller concerning the financial operations of the University Hospital. President Edmund J. James March 10, 1919 M Y DEAR PRESIDENT JAMES: I beg to submit herewith an estimate of funds required for the University Hospital for the year 1918-19. The load carried by the Hospital during the period of the S. A. T. C. was very heavy indeed. It was necessary to buy on short notice large amounts of equipment and to operate for several weeks on a very uneconomical basis. I have been able to include as a part of the claim against the Government all expenditures during that period, except amounts expended for equipment, for which I have been able to include only a reasonable allowance for depreciation. The deficit for this period therefore is $7,583.83, against which however there existed on January 1st inventory of equipment and supplies amounting to $8„618.70. The operations for January and February have shown a deficit of $866.28. The best estimates that we are able to make of the operations for the remainder of the year indicate a total deficit for the four months, March to June inclusive, of $3,900.00. I therefore estimate that the funds required for the Hospital for the year 1918-19 will amount to $12,285.73, of which an estimated amount of $8,618.70 will be represented by new equipment purchased, and an estimated amount of $3,527.03 representing the net deficit on operations. I would request that an appropriation to cover these funds be made. A detailed statement of the estimates submitted herewith will be presented to you later. * Respectfully submitted, LLOYD MOREY Comptroller
