This makes the total amount of#69,725 asked for from State ap- pear to contain a much larger increase over last year than is really the case, as current College funds have borne more than their just share of Station workers salary time in the past. I sincerely hope these requests may be granted* They have been considered over and over again and have been reduced to the lowest possible point consistent with the work we are being called upon to do.
