•State Board of Agriculture*
Gentlemen:-

Your committee* to whom was referred the matter of extra com-

pensation for Mr.-McKlbbint Alumni Recorder* respectfully reports that it-
does not recommend  extending the practice of extra compensation beyond the
teachers in Siammer and Army Schools.  Erie duties of Mr. McKibbin* so far as
the college is concerned* are continuous throughout the year* and it is the
opinion of your  committee that the salary should be made commensurate with
such service.  We therefore recommend that the portion of Mr. McKibbin*s
salary to be paid Syr the College for his service as Alumni Recorder be $1800*
beginning September 1st.
