INSTITUTION FOR TUBERCULOSIS RESEARCH BIENNIAL OPERATING BUDGET 1 9 5 3 - 1 9 5 5 (23) In 1047, the General Assembly of Illinois established the Institution for Tuberculosis Research for the production, distribution, and application of the bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and other methods and materials for the prevention of tuberculosis and for conducting research in tuberculosis. The professional operation and management of the Institution are vested in a Board consisting of five medical directors, two appointed by the Municipal Sanitarium of Chicago, two appointed by the University, and one elected by the other four. The Sixty-seventh General Assembly appropriated $75,200 for the operation of the Institution during the biennium of 1951-1953. The activities of the Institution have steadily increased. More than two hundred institutions in forty states are being instructed in the research and service programs for the prevention of tuberculosis. These institutions are being supplied with BCG vaccine as well as instruments for vaccination. The Directors of the Institution recommend a budget of $84,200 for the biennium of 1953-1955. This represents essentially a 10 per cent increase. The Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges recommends approval of this budget to the State Department of Finance. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Johnston, this budget was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Megran, Mr. Nickell; no, none; absent, Mr. Grange, Mr. Stevenson, Mrs. Watkins. This budget has been incorporated in the biennial operating budget of the University for 1953-1955 and the financial schedules in that budget have been changed accordingly.

These are estimated at $790,500 for 1953-1955. The attached memorandum prepared by the Director of the Division and concurred in by the Vice-President for the Chicago Professional Colleges explains the increases in the General Revenue (tax) Fund.
