AN ACT establishing an Agricultural Experiment Station, passed June 26, 1880, as amended by the Act passed August 15, 1881. SECTION 1. For the purpose of promoting agriculture in its various branches by scientific investigation and experiment, an institution is hereby established to be called and known as the New York Agricultural Experiment Station.

2. The management of this institution shall be committed to a board of trustees, to be known as the Board of Control of the State Experiment Station. Robert J. Swan, William A. Armstrong, N. Martin Curtis, Stephen W. Clark, Patrick Barry, Robert J. Dodge, Jabez S. Woodward, Daniel Batchelor and James McCann shall be the first trustees of the institution, of whom the three first named shall hold office as such trustees for three years, the three next named for two years, and the three last named for one year from the first day of January, eighteen hundred and eighty-one. Whenever a vacancy shall occur in such board by expiration of the term of office of any member thereof, or otherwise, the same shall be filled by the governor, and all trustees so appointed by the governor shall hold office for the term of three years, and until others be appointed in their stead. The governor shall be a member of the board by virtue of his office.

§3. The said board of control shall annually elect a president from their own number, and shall appoint a secretary and a treasurer to hold such offices during the pleasure of the board. Six members of the board shall be a quorum for the transaction of business.

[Sections 4 and 5 of the original act are repealed.]

§ 6. Said board of control shall locate and have the general management of the station and shall appoint a director to have the general oversight and management of the experiments and investigations which shall be necessary to accomplish the objects of said institution,

and

may employ competent and suitable chemists and other persons necessary to the carrying on of the work of the station. Said board may acquire, by lease or otherwise, such real estate as may in their judgment be necessary for carrying on the work, and shall have the direction of the expenditure of all money appropriated to the institution for the purposes aforesaid, or otherwise received therefor, and shall annually make a full report to the legislature of their proceedings, receipts and expenditures. All property acquired by the said board shall belong to the state and shall be disposed of and used only as authorized by law.

87. The sum of twenty thousand dollars annually is hereby appropriated to said New York Agricultural Experiment Station for two years, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, which shall be paid to the treasurer of said board of control, at such time and in such sums as said board may require, upon the order of the comptroller of the state, who is hereby directed to draw his order for the same on the treasurer of the state. And the treasurer of said board of control shall be required, before entering upon the duties of his office, to give bond with surety to the treasurer of the state in the sum of ten thousand dollars, for the faithful discharge of his duties as such treasurer.

§ 8. Every member of said board may, by a vote thereof, be paid his necessary traveling expenses, as well as those incurred by him while in actual attendance upon the meetings of the said board; but no member shall receive as such any other remuneration for his services in attendance on the meetings of the board.

§ 9. Said Board of Control shall make such rules and regulations as may from time to time become necessary to carry out the objects of the station.

10. This act shall take effect from its passage.
