APPROPRIATION FOR AGRICULTURAL LIBRARY EQUIPMENT

(18) A recommendation that an assignment of $3,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, be made from the General Reserve Fund for re-equipping the Agricultural Library Reading Room. With the increase in enrollment in the College of Agriculture, this library has become overcrowded. The equipment has been in use for many years and is in poor condition, although some of it can be used in various other places. With new equipment it will be possible to increase the seating capacity of this library by 25 per cent. On motion of Mr. Adams, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland; no, none; absent, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer.

APPROPRIATION FOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

(19) Last year an appropriation of $3,000 was made for the purchase of equipment for the work in Industrial Education. There was not sufficient money in this appropriation to provide for the installation of all of this equipment, specifically, the extension of power lines to two machines and the installation of exhaust pipes to take dust and shavings out of the room. Consequently, I recommend that an assignment of $650 be made from the General Reserve Fund for the installation of this equipment. On motion of Mr. Pogue, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland; no, none; absent, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer.

APPROPRIATION TO PHYSICAL PLANT DEPARTMENT FOR MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

(20) A recommendation that an assignment of $3,000 be made from the General Reserve Fund to the Physical Plant Department to supplement the appropriation for Minor Improvements made in the budget for the current fiscal year. This appropriation was for specific projects and left a very small balance for other matters not anticipated at the time the budget was prepared. The supplementary appropriation now recommended will be for the following specific projects: 1. Increase size of lecture room and stock room in Machine Tool Laboratory made necessary by increased enrollment in shop courses $1 112 2. Walk on Wright Street from Springfield Avenue to Radio Station 400 3. Erection of partition in the Armory to sub-divide large room for taking care of additional classes in Military 210 4. Coat racks for President's House to provide cloak room facilities for large groups 140 5. Increase in electrical service for Wood Shop to provide for operation of welding equipment 685 6. Margin for contingencies 453 Total $3 000 All of these requests have been carefully reviewed by the Faculty Committee on Special Appropriations and Non-Recurring Expenditures, and this Committee has recommended that provision be made for the above items. On motion of Mr. Adams, this appropriation was made, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Adams, Mr. Karraker, Mr. Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Wieland; no, none; absent, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer.
