STATUS OF CAPPER-KETCHAM FUNDS (6) The following report from the Comptroller on the estimated income from Federal funds under the Capper-Ketcham act: February 8, 1930 President David Kinley, 355 Administration Building Dear President Kinley: In the budget for the current year, the estimated income from United States under the Capper-Ketcham act was entered as $40,167.48, (Page 273, minutes of July 17, 1929). This sum was appropriated for extension work in Agriculture as per pages 307 and 320 of the same minutes. On June 30, 1929, a balance of $12,571.51 remained unexpended of the CapperKetcham fund for the preceding year. This balance was reappropriated for this work on July 17 (page 271). In view of the fact that this balance remained unexpended on June 30, the federal government has deducted this amount from the amount which would be available for thefiscalyear 1929-1930 under the provision of the act establishing the fund. The total amount which will be paid to us by the federal government for the currentfiscalyear will, therefore, be $40,167.48 less $12,571.51 or a net total of $27,595.97. This amount added to the balance carried forward last year will provide the total necessary to meet the budget of this work for the current year. This makes the gross amount available for the current year $40,167.48 including, rather than in addition to, the unexpended balance carried forward from last year and reappropriated. Cordially yours, Lloyd Morey Comptroller This report was received for record. MR. HUFF'S LEAVE OF ABSENCE WITHDRAWN (7) A statement that Mr. George A.
