REVISION OF CAPPER-KETCHAM AND SMITH-LEVER BUDGETS

(1) fn order to comply with the Capper-Ketcham Law, it was necessary to revise our Capper-Ketcham budget. Dean Mumford submitted a revised budget, with slight changes also in the Smith-Lever budget, in addition to a budget for the new Additional Federal Cooperative Fund of $26,000, made available by the federal government July 1, 1930. Since no expenditure of University funds was involved and approval was necessary in order to proceed under the revised budgets, I approved the distribution of funds in these changes. I report the matter for record.
