THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND, DECEMBER 31. 1916. 0. A. CASKS $803,500 CHURCH WEDDING UNITES ROSEBUKG COUPLE. 4 Days Only Starting Today Appropriation of $100,000 by Legislature Wanted. AMOUNT IS FOR LIBRARY Balance of Kxpenscs Estimated for 1017-18 Are Expected to Come Within Amount to lie Col lected From Millage Tax. n SALEM. Or.. Dec. 30. (Special.) Although the Oregon Agricultural Col lege, in its budget as submitted to the Secretary of State, shows that the esti mated expenses for the Institution for 1917-18 for which appropriations are asked, total IS03.500, the Legislature will not have to appropriate more than approximately $100,000. The rest will come from the millage tax. This estimate does not Include ex periment stations and extension work, but a large share of the appropriations and expenses for both the stations and extension work is already provided for In continuing appropriations or from Other sources. New Library Wanted. The total amount of current expenses. Including salaries, is $762,849. One per manent Improvement, a new library, is asked for at an estimated cost of $100, 000. The cost of replacements, better ments, materials and supplies Is esti mated at $79,376. and the contingent fund at $8275. The grand total of re quirements as estimated Is $905,500. Krom this, however, may be deducted receipts which aggregate $147,000. These receipts Include $100,000 from the Morrill-Nelson fund of the Federal Government, $30,000 from the Agricul tural College Interest fund and $24,000 from college entrance fees and net Bales. By deducting these receipts from the total estimate of requirements the balance of $803,500 is arrived at as the total sum for which appropria tions are required. The millage tax for 1917 will ag gregate $351,505.58. What It will be In 1918 will depend entirely on the as ftessed valuation, but using the same figure as a basis the total for the two years would give the college $708. 011.16, or leave approximately $100, 000 for the Legislature to provide, the Film that is asked for the new library building. Other BnlldlitKH Needed. TTnder the plans as outlined in the budget, the Library building that la asked for.
