System of Interchange of Equipment
to Be Adopted by Illinois
Institutions.

Springfield. ILL.,. March 26.-In or
der to save the expenses of buying

board of administration has decided
to adopt the system of interchange
of equipment, products that are NOV

Fiscal Supervisor Frank D. Whip
has charge of the work.
BY this system when an institution
does not need a particular item OF
equipment, live stock, or other prop
erty, the fiscal supervisor will see
that the same is sent to some other
institution which does need it, and
will fix an exchange price in each
case.
For instance, two hot water heat
ers were sent from the Peoria state
hospital. they being not needed at
the former institution. 1t is believed
by the enforcement of this plan sew

He is to speak on the Interpretation

This meeting will also mark the
close of the attendance contest which
