R E A D J U S T M E N T OF C E R T A I N SALARIES A N D F U N D S (34) The following statement: The comptroller informs me that the addition to the income of the University from fees other than laboratory fees will probably approximate for the year $100,000 at Urbana and $20,000 at Chicago. Of course there is some uncertainty about the amount, but probably the estimate is conservative. I recommend that there be added to the reserve and incidental fund of the University, which now stands at about $85,000, the sum of $40,000, more or less, $20,000 to be taken from the receipts of this semester's fees and $20,000 from the receipts of next semester's fees, and that there be assigned to the departments in Chicago, $10,000, and that the balance of estimated additional income from these fees, namely $60^000, more or less, for the year, be assigned as follows: (1) To the Museum of Natural History for cases and other equipment to care for specimens on hand $2,500 (2) To the office of the Supervising Architect for extensions and improvements 5,000 (3) To the Department of Publicity 1,000 (4) For official reception and entertainment fund 1,000 (5) For President's incidental and emergency fund 2,000 (6) Addition to present salaries according to the following schedule: To the salary of C.
