   Honorable D. H. Peak, Business Agent
        University of Kenvtucky
             Lexington, Kentucky

   My dear Sir:

        The State Journal has made repuisit ion on us for a supply of the
  ,smnall eyelet tags to be used z'or the Exreriment Station.  There has
  been oonteiLtion for slvu a year and a l alf between the Experiment
  S-tation and tae Priati.g GoDnlissioa about the pyz-;irit to the Louis-
  ville Paper Company of these blank tags.   The Printing Commissicn
  meoe thaan C. year r-goa took ta position that -hese blank tags should
  be charged against the printiag account of the 4xperiment Station and
  not Charged against the budget aucount for blank stock.   After con-
  siderable delay the Experiment Staticn allowed the Printing Commission,
  or the Auditor of P'bl in Accounts, to pay the Lnuisville Paper Cou-
  pany for these bills and charge them against its printing account.

          At the meeting of the Printing Commission held the first
     Tuesday in January, 1922, there was a bill of $1A0 for these blank
     tags approved by myself, as the Superintend 'ent of Printing, and was
     approved by the Printing Commission wfiich was forwarded to the
     Experiment Station fW their approval, whereupon, Dean Cooper ad-
     vised me that the Experient Station would not further allow these
     tags paid in this manner.

          "t the meeting of the Pzriiti ng Comumission, which was held the
     first Tuesday in this month, there was a further bill of $1,400 for
     these blank tags approved by myself and the Printing CommIssion, and
     which we deducted from the regular paper account of the Louisville
     Paper Company, and the Commission held that the Experiinent Station
     should pay for same as they had done heretofore.  Now, we have been
     asked by the State Journal Company, contractors for this class of
     printing, to order a new supply of the small eyelet tags to be used
     in the execution of printing these tags for the Experiment Station,
     but we cannot do this until we hear from you.

          We were directed by the Commission to order no more of these
     tags uiitil we advised you that same must be charged against and
     deducted from the printing account.   It is therefore necessary that
     you advise me at once what to do about the mabter.

                                            Yours very truly,

                                              (Signed) Moses R. Glenn

                                                Superintendent of Public
                                                                      Pr inting

     Previous reference to this matter is coaitained in the minutes of the
hxecuttire Committee March 36, 1921, at which tire a bill exceeding $10,000
aas preseated to the University or paynent; sa-Te to cover paper stock fur-
n;shed.   This account was not arproved.  H.ovtever, it was brought, out that
oa July 11, 1921, the State Auditor charged tile anseual appropri~atio- of the
Expe-'iment StLation with the sum of $10,374, athcugh no approval had bees
given therefor by the Executive Committee or administrative officers of the
Univer sity.

     President McVey presented additional correspondence in reply to the
letter from IL-. Glenn, informing him that the acoour-ts had not been paiL
by the U-niversityr and that the Printing Commission vras expected to meet
this account as it nad in tines past.

     f'er discussior., it was the opinion of the ;xecutive Committee that
the stock for the tags should be paid :Or by the Printing Commission as had
been the custom in the pas;;, this being in aoceordaarle with r-alings of
previous attorney get erals a-id with the agreement of the Printing Cornmission
with the University, when the printing work was taken from the University.
Judge Stoll., as cliairman of the s3eautive Committee, was authorized to write
an appropriate letter to the State PrinWing Commission.




 







                                    3.

      As an nemrgency has arisen relative to the supplying of' tags, on motion,

      WHEREAS, A question has arisen between the State Printing Corumission
      and the Universitty relative to the payment of paper stock for tags
      for the fertilizer and feeding stuffs depar-tments, and

      WHEREAS, It is necessary to have printed immediately a supply of
      tags for the conduct of the work, and

      JMHER2AS, the State Printing Commission has refused to furnish the
      tags, except upon condition- which the exoaivt Comnaittee does
      not feel it is legally authorized to comply with, nowr, therefore,

           BE IT RESOLVED, That the Director of the Experiment Station
      is instructed and hereby authorized to purchase not to exceed one
      and one-half million tags in the open market and to have them
      printed as the need arises.

          This action is taken by the Executive Committee-in an emergency
which makes it necessary to arrange for an immediate su-pply unti the legal
rights of the University msay be ascertained.
