Your committee recommend that the

penses OF Profe Asors King and Thos. D..
Boyd.
The sum Of $4o3 "a, Of which, in his
account, Col. Boyd claims to have as
sume1 payment to divers parties.
the sum of 1868 AZ paid by him to
employees, in excess of the amount au-
thorized by the old Board, making in all
1907 80, leaving 20, lao 73which amount
appears to be due him.
We find, however, that the sum of
$491 IL has been charged tor postage and
kilograms, which we regard as all ex-
cessive amount, and recommend that the
Board take action thereon.
We also find that Col. Boyd claims as
due him from the Maintenance Fund
! TAB As.
Your committee also recommend that
the sum of $672 20 of assumed claims be
disallowed and deducted therefrom,
leaving balance of l,07l l6. We find,
however, that thegsum of Sl94 81 for
kilograms and postage is an excessive
amount and recommend that action be
taken thereon.
Your committee is of the opinion that
it is best for this institution that all
claimants should obtain payment di-
rectly through its Treasurer.
With regard to the furniture claimed
by Col. Boyd your committee recon-
mends that the same be delivered over
to him as soon as practicable; the COM
mittee accepting Col. Boyd's statements
as evidence sufficient to support his
claim.
| Your Committee recommends that Col.
Boyd's claim ofS4S5.60 for interest paid
by him to the Louisiana National Bank
be refunded to him from the sale of GER
tain baby bonds belonging to the old
Louisiana State University.
Your Committee find that Col. Boyd
had no authority to rent the wash-hOuse
adjoining to the University.
Your Committee is opposed to the pay
ment of the claim of Col. Boyd relating
to the salary of Prof. r. d. Haislip.
Your Committee recommend that the
Jnlio picture be returned to its owner
when called for.
Your Committee recognize that the
sum Of 81, 041. sc salary Of Col. Boyd from
May LIST to Oct. LIST, 1890 is due him.
Your Committee recommends that no
reduction be made on the notes given by
Mr.. EstOpinal and that the same be
| placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection, said attorney to be selected
by the Finance Committee.
Your Committee recommends that the
bond of Col. VIM. Markham, ex-treasur-
er, be Cancelled, his books having been
found correct
Your Committee would call your at
tentiOn to the fact that the bills against
Cadets on account of the Maintenance
Fund have been presented by the At
torney entrusted with their collection,
and that he has received innumerab1e
protests that portions or entire amounts
of the same are not due by them. They
therefore recommend the adoption of
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Attorney i'll whose
hands the bills against Cadets have
been placed for collection, is authorized
to make such deductions on the same as
he may in his Judgment deem expedient
and to the interests of this institution.
With regard to the remuneration Of
Mr. Skoltield for extra services as eX-
pert, the Committee, finding that his du
ties have been greatly increased by the
Board, recommend that his salary be in
creased TO the sum of one hundred dol
lars per month dating from March LIST,
1881, to the end ofthe present session, In
lieu of extra compensation as expert.
Your Committee have examined the
report of the expert. Mr.. Skoliield, and
find the same to be thorough and com
prehensve in every detail and recon-
mend that same be accepted by the
Board.
Your Committee also recommend the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That those claims of Col.
Boyd which the Finance Committee
has declared indefinite or excessive, be
disallowed, until proper vouchers there
for are presented by him,
