372 B O A R D OF TRUSTEES [June 26 4. A contract with the United Military Stores of Chicago for the purchase of approximately 275 uniforms for advanced R. O. T. C. students for 1931-32 at a price of $40 per outfit. Prices quoted by dealers on this equipment are all the same, so that the award of the contract is made on the basis of the quality of material and the number of accessories offered with each outfit. The quality of the equipment offered by the United Military Stores is superior or equal to that offered by any of the other dealers. 5. Chemicals needed for laboratory use in the Urbana Departments for the year 1931-32, amounting to $8,064.24, for the General Chemistry Storeroom, from various concerns; these supplies were purchased on the basis of price, quality, and suitability of grades offered. 6. A supply of Pyrex laboratory glassware, amounting to approximately $2,700, for the General Chemical Storeroom, from the A. Daigger and Company of Chicago. Pyrex glassware is not a competitive item and is sold at list prices and discounts prescribed by the manufacturers, so that the order is placed upon the basis of the service which the various dealers are able to render. 7. Three hundred boiler tubes for use in the Boiler House Addition, from the Chicago Tube and Iron Company, who submitted the lowest quotation at a price of $1,668.60, f.o.b., Urbana. 8.
