     President H. L. Donovan
     University of Kentucky

     Dear President Donovan:

                    During the fiscal year 1943-44 the Coal Re-
     search Laboratory had avallable, through appropriation,
     $7,5OQ.Oo plus $10,000.00 which was granted from the Gov-
     ernor's Emergency Fund, making a total of $17,500.00.

                    In order that the University might avail
     itself of the entire appropriation, this office made pur-
     chases for the University and charged same against the
     appropriation.   Professor Crouse# of the College of
     Engineering, raised the question of the Coal Research Labo-
     ratory receiving the benefit during the fiscal year 1944-45.
     In the event this amount Is to be made available for the
     curent year, a budget change of $1,073.35 will be necessary.

                                      Yours very truly,

                                      (Signed) Frank D. Peterson
                                              Comptroller.
