Froir: ibt joint report of Pres ident Graham and Controller Carmichael to the University trustees las”, w eel;: “The President and the Con troller recommend that the Boarc of Trustees formally re quest the Governor and the Ad visory Budget Commission to re lease immediately all permanent improvement funds prov.ded for the three institutions of the Consolidated University by the 15*47 Genera! Assembly. All of these buildings are desperately needed and the educational pro gram is being crippled by not having them available now. Plans are ready and construc tion should begin at once." A little mo re than a year ago, in submitting to the legislature the report of the Advisory Budg et Commission, Governor Cher ry said : “In our opinion, building con ditkms at present'are o di rupted and < • f that .it wourld be extrerrie folly to under take an extensive build; fig pro gram at this time Therefore, no rrr.a .oe n t .mpro \e me nt - •bo uI d be undertaken now except to meet compelling emergencies.” That statement, made in mid- January 1947, reflected the pre vailing opinion of business men, State officials, and legislators; at that time. In order to make sure that the State’s money should not be spent when construction costs: v.ere abnormally high, the legislature put inbi the perma nent improvement appropria tion law the following provi sion : “The appropriation# for per manent improvements; shall not be available for expenditure un til the Governor and the Advi sory Budget Commision shall have determines! the time best suited, in their opinion, for the State to secure the gi«-ab.-Ht ben efit« from the expenditure of these appropriations and shall have approved the dab: for starting these permanent im provement projects.” The institutions and agencies of the stab; were in urgent need of the building# for which the legislature had made appropria tions, but work on them could not be started because the Budg et Bureau (to which the Advi sory Budget Cornruisison dele gated the function of deciding when the money should be used) kept waiting for construc tion costs to get “back to nor mal.” What was expected, did not come to pass. Costs, instead of falling, went up. And so it turns out that the building# needed at the University here and other Stab* institution# co«t more today than when the money for them wa# voted. The State, by having waited to #tart on them, i# not going to get more for it# money, hut les#. The estimate# upon which the 1947 appropria tion# were baaed were made in the preceding summer; that i#, a year and a half ago. Today’# cost# far exceed those estimate#. This leaves two alternatives: either some of the buildings au thorized must be omitted from the program or reduced in size, or there must be supplementary appropriations to cover the in crease in construction costs since the estimates were made. No bJame attaches to the Budget Bureau for postponing the release of money for build' Birthday Greetings This issue makes the Chapel H ili Week3 > 25 years old. Birthday greetings are ordinarily directed toward the per son or institution having the birthday, but that procedure cannot- be followed in the present case because nobody but me knows that the Weekly is having one. The only way I km w to keep the anniversary from being’totally neglected is to reverse the usual procedure. Since other people are not greeting rr.e, ‘1 have dec:led *.. celebrate ‘he birr'- day by greeting other people. Accordingly, I offer m> greeting- To the faithful and hard-working men who give such good service at our homes, day after cay, year in and year ou‘, in all kinds of weather: the milkmen, the newspaper deliverers, and the town crew who come to take away the trash and garbage. To the police force and the fire company, who protect oar i;ves and ; r perry; and the district health department, the t wn government, and the court.
