that an additional assignment of $500 be made from the State appropriation ($20,000 for the biennium) for the operation of the Station to cover expenditures to June 30. This latter assignment will, of course, reduce the amount available for the operation of this Station during 1936-1937 by $500.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue.

APPROPRIATION FOR PURCHASE OF PASSENGER CAR (16) The University Cadillac limousine has been in service for over six years. It is no longer serviceable enough for out-of-town trips, and its use must be restricted to town driving. Its trade-in value will range from $400 to $700, depending on the model of new car selected.

On motion of Dr. Meyer, the Physical Plant Department was authorized to purchase a new automobile, and an appropriation of $3,500, or so much thereof as may be necessary, was made from the General Reserve Fund, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue.

SERVICE CHARGES AGAINST ACCOUNTANCY F U N D (17) In 1932-1933, a service charge of $2,000 was made against the Accountancy Fund to cover expenses incurred and services rendered by the University, exclusive of salaries paid to certain members of the staff in the Registrar's Office, in the administration of the law in relation to Certified Public Accountants. This charge was made for that year only, as in succeeding years the receipts from examination fees were not sufficient to make such a charge possible for those years without showing a deficit. However, there is an ample surplus in the Accountancy Fund from the operations of previous years to cover the charges since 1932. I therefore recommend that a service charge of $2,000 a year be applied against the Accountancy Fund beginning with the fiscal year 1933-1934, and continuing until further notice, with the understanding that whenever this cannot be met from receipts of any given year, it shall be charged against the accumulated surplus of the Fund. T h e income resulting from this service charge is to go into the General Reserve Fund of the University. The total to be transferred is $8,000, including a service charge for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1936.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this recommendation was adopted, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Barr, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland, Mr. Williams; no, none; absent, Mr. Horner, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue.
