NEW CONSTEUCTION AND EEPAIES. 



The Legislature of 1912 appropriated $3,000 to replace and 

 equip the carpenter shop destroyed by fire in the winter of 1912. 

 The building is now in process of construction under a contract 

 which leaves a balance sufficient to purchase the necessary tools 

 and other equipment. 



The general repairs which it is necessary to make include paint- 

 ing some twenty-seven buildings, repairs to the buildings on the 

 farm purchased in 1911 and the renovation of the interior of the 

 Chemical Laboratory. It is now evident that this will be accom- 

 plished at an expense that will leave, out of the $6,000 appropri- 

 ated for these purposes, a balance sufficient to make some other 

 needed repairs. 



A NEW BUILDING. 



An appropriation for the much needed Administration and 

 Demonstration building has been made by three Legislatures and 

 in each instance, disapproved by the Governor on the ground of 

 an insufficiency of funds. 



The amount which your Board has decided to ask for this pur- 

 pose, one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), is considerably 

 larger than the previous requests for the following reasons : The 

 Soils Investigation Department, located in the Chemical Building, 

 needs for its development space now used for dormitory j)urposes, 

 and the space in the present Administration Building (the old 

 mansion house bought with the Station farm) should be converted 

 into living rooms for members of the staff. This means the trans- 

 ference of the library to new quarters, which should be fireproof, 

 as the Station library is now valuable.
