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. If it is allowed, will contain
ntudy and lecture-rooms, seminars,
repair-rooms, Mnding-room. stack
room, reading-room, newspaper-room,
catalogue and other workrooms and of
fices. The estimated cost for the build
ing includes equipment and the esti
mated cost of making connections with
the heating and water and sewer sys
tems. "A number of buildings are badly
needed," states President Ker In mak
ing his report to the Secretary of
Btate, "such as engineering laborator
ies, veterinary hospital. by-products
building for the department of horti
culture, and within the next two years,
at the outside, another unit of the
home economics building will be imperative."
