elsewhere in the State. Increasing costs indicate that costs may run as high as $20 a day in the next biennium, and in the down-state hospitals costs at present are over $12 a day. The anticipated increase in the cost of hospital care is reflected in the increase requested for the next biennium. Staff additions of one medical social worker, two nursing consultants, a speech and hearing consultant, and eleven nonprofessional workers are requested for the district offices and the central office staffs in order that the normal growth of this program can be met. The increase for contractual services results largely from the increased rentals the Division must pay for office space in various localities. The new item of travel is requested since prior to this time all travel items have been paid for out of federal funds, but due to the decrease in the funds available from the federal government, it is necessary to request an appropriation for this travel from the State of Illinois.

On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, this biennial budget was approved as presented, to be filed as a tentative budget under the State Finance Act. OPEN SESSION
