Judge Henry S. Barker,
Lexington, Ky.
Dear Sir:-
A few days ago you and Judge Lafferty were
in my office and we discussed the provisions of Chapter
20 of the Acts of 1916, which act relates to agricultural
extension work. The provisions of Section 5 of this act
arprorriates to the University of Kentucky for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1916, and for each succeeding year
the sum of $l1,O00. This money was appropriated "for
the nuroose of agricultural extension-, and for the use of
the College in teaching agriculture." This section allows
the University to receive this appropriation but of course
it must be expended for the purposes specifically mentioned..
While it is not written in the act that only
$5,000 of this appropriation shall be used for the teaching
of agriculture, nevertheless, by private understanding on
the part of those who were interested in this work, no
greater sum than $5,000 may be expended for teaching Agri-
culture in the College. The sum appropriated may be drawn
by the University and may be used by the University in any
way that is required in order to.comnply with the terms upon
which the University may receive money.
All money held by the University for extension
work, whether received from the state or nation of from
counties, is under the supervision of the Agricultural
Extension Committee,
Yours truly,
Signed-H1. 11. Logan
Attorney General.
The Secretary of the Board of this Committee:'is directed
to ask Attorney General 6f this State for an opinion as to what
members of the Board of Agriculture of the State a~re members
of the Board of Trustees of this University,
Upon motion made, seconded and carried, it was ordered that
a special meeting for the election of Business Agent and such
other matters as may come up be called for Friday, June 30,
1916, at 12 M.
