Maintenance. — The cost of maintenance for the year amounted to 

 approximately $135,000, which was $13,000 less than the amount 

 authorized by the Board of Trustees. The total amount expended for 

 all purposes was $198,600 being $38,500 less than the previous year. 

 The difference between the cost of maintenance and the actual amount 

 expended is accounted for by special appropriations for the purchase of 

 collections. The necessary repairs to the building were performed 

 by the regular maintenance force.
