the deans, I have conferred on this matter at various stages, to distribute the total among the items prescribed by the State budget law in such proportions as our needs seem to demand.

I recommend that the above requests be approved as the ones to be submitted to the Department of Finance and to the Legislature for the coming biennium 1929-31, and, unless your Board desires to follow a different procedure this time, that the President be directed to prepare and secure the introduction of a bill for appropriations to the University from the State in accordance therewith and to take charge of the matter from now on. Action on this matter was deferred. A t this point, M r . Trees withdrew. PAVING I M P R O V E M E N T S M r .
