UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS THE BUDGET FOR 1926-27

23

(47) I submit the budget for the year beginning July I, 1926, with a statement explaining the methods and principles followed in making up the budget: I request that the budget be approved and that the President of the University be authorized to make such minor changes and adjustments as may be necessary, to make necessary additional appointments in accordance with the general salary scale, and to accept resignations which may be presented. Explanatory Notes Departmental appropriations are made under the captions "Salaries" and "Expense and Equipment." Unless otherwise indicated, no transfers may be made between these appropriation captions except with the approval of the President of the University. Appropriations for Salaries are available for the term indicated in each case but not for more than one year from September 1. All balances lapse at the end of the term indicated or at August 31. Funds appropriated for positions in the salary budget which are not yet filled may, pending regular appointments, be drawn against for services of employees temporarily engaged to do the work contemplated by the position and for no other purpose. fFhen appointments are made at salary rates less than the amounts provided in the budget, the unused funds will not be available for use except with the approval of the President. Appropriations for Expense and Equipment are available for one year beginning July 1 and ending June 30. These appropriations are based on an estimated distribution of expenditures according to the various budget classifications of "Wages, Office Expense, etc." Expenditures must be made in approximate accord with that distribution, material departure from which must be approved in advance by the Dean of the College concerned, the Director of the general department concerned, or the corresponding general officer, and in all cases by the Comptroller. All unencumbered balances in these appropriations lapse June 30. ESTIMATED BUDGET INCOME I.
