1934] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS SURVEY OF GREEN STREET 33 At the request of Messrs. Armstrong and Barrett, Mr. Havens made an informal report on the survey of Green Street, which was authorized by the Board on March 13, 1934. It was the sense of the Board that this survey should be made as soon as possible and that the Physical Plant Department should employ outside engineers for this purpose, if necessary, to avoid delay. THE BIENNIAL. BUDGET FOR 1 9 3 5 - 3 7 President Willard presented a statement concerning the State Budget for 1935-37 and recommendations from the University Council submitted to him in accordance with the statutes of the University.

Further consideration of the biennial budget was postponed and made a special order of business to be taken up at a special meeting of the Board to be called for this purpose. OCTOBER MEETINGS OF THE BOARD The regular October meeting of the Board was set for Friday, October 12, at 11 o'clock a.m., at Urbana. A special meeting of the Board was set for Saturday, October 20, at 1 o'clock p.m. at the Blackstone Hotel in Chicago. REQUEST OF B O A R D OF NATURAL RESOURCES A N D CONSERVATION President Willard presented a statement that some time ago the Board of Natural Resources and Conservation passed a motion that "the Trustees of the University of Illinois be requested to consider carefully the urgent necessity for providing adequate housing facilities for the State Geological and Natural History Surveys."

Consideration of this request was postponed until the regular meeting of the Board on October 12.
