The whole amount available current

The buildings completed and erect
cd since last report are:
Tho main building completed and
furnished with electric lights, steam
heating and water works and recita-
tion rooms and library partially re-
stored.
Mechanical hall completed.
Hotel completed.
One brick professors house erected
with Outbuildings and two brick
houses for wator closets and bath
rooms.
The buildings, being new, are in
good repair, and are all insured for
five years
We arc gratiiicd to report that un-
less the attendance of students should
DO largely Increased, rendering adii-
tions to tho teaching force necessary,
the privilege tax, Clemson bequest
and the Federal appropriations will be
sufficient to meet the current expenses
OF the college and no special appropri-
alton is required or asked for.
In the spring of this year g. lnVae
was built by convicts, to protect the
river bottoms from overflow, but
shortly after this was done, and before
the banks became settled, q freshet
came and destroyed IL largo part Of tho
work.
1t Is Il matter Of great Importance to
that these bottoms should be
protected from overflow, and this
can only be done by lcvec. Be-
sidcs much heavy work on tho farm
remains to be done to properly fit it
for experiments and instructions Wo
therefore respectfully submit that wo
be furnished with tho same number of
convicts as before, namely, 33.
In conclusion, it affords this board
great pleasure to report that the col.
lngc is well organized and Is working
smoothly and harmoniously in all OF
its departments. II. w. SIMPSON,
