pated needs of the new Neuropsychiatry Institute. The budget consists of two parts: 1. An operating budget totaling $1,778,384, which represents an increase of $592,962 over the appropriation of the Department of Public Welfare for the current biennium. Except for $34,556, which represents increases for the maintenance of the Research and Educational Hospitals, the increase is due entirely to the cost of operating the Neuropsychiatry Institute, totaling $558,406. 2. Capital improvement items totaling $946,000. This represents a net decrease of $89,354 m appropriations made for the current biennium of the Department of Public Welfare for capital improvements in the Research and Educational Hospitals, including the Neuropsychiatric Institute. The capital improvement items are based upon a study of the imperative needs of the Research and Educational Hospitals by Doctor William H. Walsh, consulting specialist on hospitals, under the auspices of the Executive Dean of the Chicago Colleges and in collaboration with a special faculty committee. The figures have been approved by the Physical Plant Department. The acquisition of land on Taylor Street fronting the Chicago Departments is included as an emergency need to prepare for future development and to clear up an unsanitary and unsightly area adjacent to the hospital system. The grand total of the budget as recommended is $2,724,384, representing a net increase of $503,638. The budget is submitted in three schedules: Schedule 1, a summary of the total budget. Schedule 2, the breakdown by departments of the proposed operating budget of the Research and Educational Hospitals transferred from the Department of Public Welfare to the University. Schedule 3, the operating budget, by departments, for the Neuropsychiatric Institute. I recommend approval of this budget, on condition, and with the definite understanding, that it will be presented to the General Assembly in a separate bill and not as a part of the University's regular biennial budget.
