board of trustees

[December 4

The Board expressed its pleasure at the successful manner in which this work is being conducted. S A L A R Y O F PROFESSOR W. J. R. C A M P (33) M y attention has been called by Dean Davis to a misunderstanding and probably a consequent error in the salary of Dr. W . J. R. C a m p of the College of Medicine. His salary was made $4200 for the current year according to the budget instead of $4500, recommended by Dean Davis. I have reviewed the case and recommend that his salary be $4500 instead of $4200, effective September ], last, and that he be paid the amount due him on the $4500 basis for the months of September, October, and November. O n motion of D r . Noble, this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s adopted.

PAVING OF WRIGHT STREET

(34) At its meeting on November 15 the Board approved a recommendation for the paving of Wright Street in accordance with the suggestions of the Supervising Architect with the provision that the Board does not thereby waive any rights in the property and with the proviso that unless there be any engineering or other valid objections the paving befifty-twofeet wide throughout. The Supervising Architect submits a letter with reference to the matter, setting forth that the Board of Local Improvements of Champaign are unanimously of the opinion that a width of thirty-seven feet north of Springfield Avenue would be sufficient.
