In 1911 additional duties were assigned by the General Assembly to the State Water Survey, which had been established at the University of Illinois in 1899.

This amount was increased to $43,000 in 1913 and to $52,000 in 1915, making a total of $125,000 thus far appropriated for regular and additional work. The trustees of the University were charged with the administration of these funds, likewise. (To carry on the original work of water analysis for which the Survey was created at the University, a total of $65,000 was appropriated to the University itself during the period from 1899 to 1913. This sum is included in the table showing the appropriations of the State to the University, but the $125,000 thus far appropriated directly to the State Water Survey has not been so included.)8 The Illinois Miners' and Mechanics' Institutes were authorized by the General Assembly in 1911.
