1892.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 1029
above. It is very substantally built, with special
reference to its special use. The income under the
fertilizer law was very properly depended upon for
the purpose, but, as already explained, this revenue
failed. The interior fittings of such a building are
expensive and it will cost $2,000 to complete and
furnish this Fertilizer Laboratory ready for its work,
while no funds at the disposal of the College are
available for this purpose. The College Trustees ask
that, in view of these facts, a special addition of
$2,000, may be made to its appropriation from the
State for one year. As the College has been doins its
full duty, notwithstanding the detect in the law, and
this need arises because of that defect, this applica-
tion seems reasonable and just, and your Committee
recommends that the additional sum asked, for one
year, be appropriated for the object specified.
For particulars as to the condition of the Maryland
Agricultural College, its organization, finances and
work, this Committee refers to the Annal Report of
the Institution for 1891, lately published by order of
the House of Delegates, From an examination of ad-
vanced copies furnished to this Committee, with what
was learned of the institution by personal inspection,
the report can be endorsed as fair and accurate in its
general presentation of the facts. The Committee was
given every opportunity to verify the accounts and
all matters of detail, but this was, of course, im-
practicable with the limited time allotted to the visit.
Respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM COLLINS,
W. I. HILL,
