The 65th General Assembly also appropriated funds to the Department of Public Health for constructing and equipping a building and funds to the Department of Finance for the purchase of land. The University will request legislation transferring to the University title to the land on which the building is now being erected.

This amount is required for: Heating, lighting, and maintaining the new building $ 61 000 Salaries, wages, supplies, and equipment 82 000 Total $143 000 The $32,000 appropriated by the General Assembly for 1947-1949 was for salaries, supplies, and equipment for only an eight- or nine-month period during 1048-1949.
