214 BOARD OF TRUSTEES MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD [June 15 T h e Board resumed the consideration of matters presented by the President of the University. S E W A G E TREATMENT RESEARCH (16) The Illinois Association of Sanitary Districts requests that the University assign an amount of $10,000 a year for additional research work by the Engineering Experiment Station on sewage treatment and the elimination of stream pollution. The sum of $3,000 was assigned by the Board last year for such research work, and a similar provision is being made in the budget for 1935-1037. If, as the Association requests, $10,000 a year is to be spent on this work, additional funds in the amount of $7,000 a year will be needed. The Association proposes that the Legislature be requested to make a special appropriation for this purpose. On motion of Dr. Meyer, the Secretary was instructed to inform the Association that the Board regrets the impossibility of changing the appropriation bill to provide for this valuable work at this time, and to express the sympathy of the Board with the purposes of the Association. EXPENSES OF BUDGET SURVEY (17) The total assignments of funds requested of the Governor for the expenses of the Budget Survey are $8,500.00.
