I92S] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 38S SETTLEMENT WITH C O N T R A C T O R F O R W E S T RESIDENCE HALL (7) The following statement from the Supervising Architect concerning penalties for delay in completing the West Residence Hall is submitted without recommendation. September 14, 1925 President David Kinley, 555 Administration Building Dear President Kinley: W e shall probably be ready forfinalsettlement with Mr. Randolph on account of his contract for the Residence Hall before another Board meeting. His contract called for completion September I, with a bonus of $100 a day for completion in advance of that date, and an equal penalty for non-completion with a maximum limit of $3,000. He will complete his contract this week. The work progressed rapidly and he expected to collect a considerable share of his bonus until he found that he could not obtain the millwork, and therefore the building is behind the contract schedule. Prior to the development of the delay on millwork I had admitted to him that our contractors for plumbing and heating had delayed him, but I gave him no definite extension of time in reply to his contentions that we delayed him. The delay in the millwork has been such that the delays above referred to did not in any way delayfinalcompletion of the building. The question now is whether we shall hold him to the $100 a day forfeit since September 1, or whether having earlier in the progress of the work promised to allow him extensions on certain delays for which we were responsible, we should s i l grant them. I shall be glad to receive instruction on this point. tl Yours truly, James M. White Supervising Architect This matter was referred to the Supervising Architect for recommendation when the building i completed. s REPAIRS ON PROPERTY AT WOOD AND POLK STREETS (8) The Supervising Architect requests authority to make certain improvements in the flat building and store at the corner of Wood and Polk Streets, Chicago, owned by the University, in order to put the building in a rentable condition. Since M a y 1 there have been fourflatsvacant in this building. It i s estimated that it will cost $1,200 to put the building in such shape that these flats may be rented and the building be made to pay for its upkeep. I recommend that these repairs be authorized, and that an appropriation of $1,200 be made from the Reserve and Contingent fund for this purpose. O n motion of M r s . Evans, this recommendation w a s adopted, b y the following vote: A y e , M r . Armstrong, M r . Barr, M r s . Busey, M r s . Evans, M r s . Ickes, M r . Noble, M r . Trees, M r . W h a m ; no, none; absent, M r . Blair, M r s . Grigsby, M r . Small. CONTRACT FOR ADDITION TO PHARMACY BUILDING (9) At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, Schmidt, Garden, and Martin were selected as architects for the Pharmacy Building. The Supervising Architect submits the following communication from them stating the terms upon which they would expect to do this work and recommends that a contract be enured into with them on this basis:
