EXPLANATION
The necessity of installing underground all wires now forming a network around and through the campus has long been contemplated and desired, not only on account of the unsightly appearance, inconvenience and continual repairs, but also on account of the danger of exposed wires on a campus where hundreds of students and training school children assemble daily.
The expense of constructing underground tunnels for this purpose has always deterred the Board from asking for a special appropriation for this purpose. The greater portion of the expense, however, was provided for two years ago, when commodious underground tunnels were constructed in con-, nection with the central heating plant, to accommodate all piping necessary for heat and water lines. All that remains to be done at present is to move all ^ ground wires into those tunnels, protecting them from the heat and moisture with proper insulation.
^A competent electrical contractor has prepared and submitted the following figures as a conservative estimate of the amount required:
Installing 2200 volt 2 phase service line from Forest avenue to trans-
formers......................״......״..................................640.00 $
Concrete vault and tunnel for transformer................................... '250.00

15,500 feet wires and cables................................................. 2,100.00
Labor installing conduits and wires in tunnel............................... 1,400.00׳
Total amount required for installation of wires in tunnels...........$ 8,590.00
TEMPE NORMAL
In this summary it will be noted that the amount of revenue varies from year to year, and that for the next two years the only resources available will be the annual appropriation of $140,000; $2,500 per annum under the Vocational Training law; and $2,500 per annum from the rental of Normal lands, which is an estimate based on amounts received from the same source during the past two years.
The increase in the amount required for salaries for this year over that of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, has already been explained, and the increase for the next two years is accounted for by the necessity of a further increase in a few of the present salaries for second and third year service and the addition of one faculty member. .
The,increase for fuel for this year is based on the amount of fuel oil consumed during the past two years, and the increase in cost for the next two years is based on the fact that we are now purchasing 16° to 18° Baume on a contract of $1.45 a barrel f. o. b. California point. This contract will expire March 1, 1921, and cannot be renewed on the same terms.
The increase in light and power will be brought about through the installation of two extra motors, one for heating the new dining hall and the other on the farm, as well as by necessary increase in ground lights.
The item of repairs and improvements has been omitted from the Maintenance Fund with the idea of securing a sufficient amount in connection with an appropriation to be asked for for special repairs and improvements which in the past have been paid from the Maintenance Fund.
For printing and publications an amount has been specified a little more than the average for the past two years. The same is true of the amounts for library books, freight, drayage and express, automobile repairs, telephones and telegraph, and miscellaneous.‘	*
The increase in the item of traveling expenses is due to the fact that the traveling expenses of the president in attending the meetings of the National Education Association, the convention of Normal School־ Presidents, and the National Superintendence meeting have for the past three years been borne by the Association, which will not be the case hereafter, as he is not now an officer of the Association.
BUILDING FUND APPROPRIATION OF $18,000 1921-1922
EXPLANATION
The Legislature appropriated $35,000 for the purpose of building and furnishing a dining hall and kitchen to be constructed ¿luring the fiscal year 1919-1920. Plans were prepared and approved by the Normal Board, but they did not succeed in getting a bidder for the contract and decided to build it by force account, salvaging the old building to the greatest possible extent.
In due time it became evident that on account of excessive cost of materials, equipment and labor, the building could not be completed for the-amount appropriated. Instead of cheapening the structure, the funds were used as far as they would go and work was stopped, leaving an uncompleted building.־ The amount required to complete it, according to estimates furnished by experienced contractors, is $14,000.
/ to addition to this amount it is proposed to build a small farm house to replace several temporary shacks now in use as a residence for the farmer. Such a house, to be in harmony with the other buildings of the institution, will cost $4,000. It is hoped that on account of the pressing necessity of these buildings the appropriation of $18,000 for that purpose may be secured from the first year’s taxes of the biennial period.
