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

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.
