We your committee are glad to re-
port that the buildings under the con-
troll of the state board or trustees of
the university of Wyoming are in ex-
l%cellent condition. Neatness and clean
illness are observed in the rooms and
halls and the buildings are carefully
looked after and cared for. The new
Science hall is a model of its kind and
is carefully designed and constructed
to meet the requirements of such an
institution. The money expended by
the state in the construction Of this
building has been we'll and carefully
expended and it is the opinion of this
committee that the state has received
its full value.
Inc construction and workmanship
is the best that could be obtained and
the board of trustees ana those In au-
thority are to be congratulated upon
the excellent results they have obtain
ed by the expenditure Of the legislative
appropriation. Owing to the short
time at the disposal of your committee
I'VE could not determine accurately the
necessary repairs required at the insti-
tuition.
Your committee found the fish hatch
cry buildings in good condition, every
thing being neat mi orderly and in
first class shape. We have no recon-
lamentations to make in this connection,
other than those made by the superin-
tendent.
