APPROPRIATION FOR VETERINARY CLINIC REVOLVING F U N D

(8) The internal budget for 1950-1951 includes an appropriation of not to exceed $15,000 to the College of Veterinary Medicine from income of its Veterinary Clinic. Receipts for the eight months ending February, 1951, have been $21,658. The appropriation of $15,000 has been exhausted, and an additional appropriation is needed.
