DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED C H I L D R E N BIENNIAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR 1 9 5 5 - 5 7 (5) The Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children recommends a budget for the biennium 1955-57 which is $103,200 more than the appropriations received for the biennium 1953-55. In summary, a comparison of the proposed budget with the appropriations for 1953-55 is as follows: Appropriations Proposed Proposed 1953-55 1955-57 Increase From Tax Funds ?3 000 000 $3 000 000 From Income of Division 125 000 $125 000 Subtotal (?3 000 000) (?3 125 000) (S125 000) From Federal Funds 780 200 758 400 —21 800 Total ?3 780 200 ?3 883 400 S103 200 The funds available for appropriation from the income of the Division are receipts of the Division for the period prior to July I, 1953, received mainly from local organizations as reimbursement for expenditures made by the Division. The Sixty-eighth General Assembly enacted legislation which enables the University to hold in its treasury such receipts, but receipts prior to July I, 1953, were deposited in the University Income Fund and are held subject to appropriation to the Division by the Sixty-ninth General Assembly. No increase is requested in appropriations from tax funds, but the additional funds described above will enable the Division to follow the same salary increase policy as that recommended for the University. I recommend that the proposal be approved for filing with the Department of Finance and that the Director of the Division be authorized to present this request to the Budgetary Commission.

On motion of Mr. Grange, this budget was adopted and authority was given as requested by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Grange, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Megran, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Stratton.

INSTITUTION FOR TUBERCULOSIS RESEARCH BIENNIAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR 19 5 5 - 5 7 (6) The Institution for Tuberculosis Research was created by the General Assembly for the "production, distribution and application of the bacillus CalmettGuerin (BCG) and other methods and materials for the prevention of tuberculosis and for conducting research in tuberculosis." The responsibility for the professional operation and all other management and control of the Institution is vested in the University. The Director of the Institution and the Administrative Committee for the Chicago Professional Colleges recommend a budget for 1955-57 amounting to $56,126 for each year, or $112,252 for the biennium. This represents an increase of $22,342 for the biennium over the present appropriation.
