STEVENS M~0RL~L Li~RARY: Communication received relative to their appropriation and
requesting that only two groupings be made so that the r~p~tition of asking for
a transfer from Reserve ~und may be eliminated. The letter stated that the
trustees felt that the Library has always been managed with an,eye to economy and the
funds spent Judiciously and therefore feel that the appropriation should not be
made with four allocations. Mr. Thomson suggested that a letter be sent to Mr.
Russell to the effect that their appropriation is accepted as. submitted and that
the Advisory Board has seen fitto allocate itintO the various groupings and
therefore they should contact ~the Advisory Board and not the Budget committee.
