1945] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 633 Operation of the Ice Rink with an estimated income of $28,000 is included in the new budget. The provision for plant maintenance is increased from $20,000 to $35,000. The budget has been reviewed in detail by the Comptroller. All salaries have been reviewed by the President, and those paid jointly by the Athletic Association and the School of Physical Education are concurred in by Director Staley. I recommend that this budget be approved and that the President of the University be authorized to make such changes and adjustments as are necessary, including new appointments and acceptance of resignations, as are recommended by the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, within the total estimated income. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this budget was approved as recommended.

This is improved real estate, and the land is needed as part of a site selected for the construction of residence halls for married students, particularly returning veterans. The conservator of the estate of the owner of this property has stated that it is producing sufficient income to provide for the owner's needs and that it is not necessary to sell the property for reinvestment purposes.
