EXPENDrrURB OF ANNUAL APPROPRIATION. 



The funds annually appropriated by the act of August 30, 1890, must be expended 

 during the year for which they are appropriated and for the purposes specified in the 

 said act, and can not be allowed to accumulate in the form of an unexpended balance 

 or be invested as a permanent interest-bearing fund (decision of the Assistant Attorney 

 General, June 20, 1899). The department will insist on the expenditure annually 

 of substantially the entire amount appropriated by the act of August 30, 1890, and the 

 act of March 4, 1907, and boards of control of agricultiu-al and mechanical colleges are 

 requested to make provision for such expenditures. It is understood, of course, that 

 contracts may be entered into for machinery or other educational material which, 

 for good reasons, may not be ready and paid for until the following year. In such 

 cases it is sufficient to explain, by a note in the report, that tlie balance is held for 

 the purpose of liquidating bills already incurred, and stating the nature of the out- 

 standing contract-s. 



USES OF FUNDS DEFINED.

 and economic science, with special reference to their applications in the industries
