398 BOAKD OF TRUSTEES [ O c t o b e r 13 CONTRACT W I T H ILLINOIS POWER A N D LIGHT CORPORATION FOR ELECTRIC POWER (8) The University's power contract with the Illinois Power and Light Corporation under which the corporation supplies the University with stand-by service, selling electric power when the University either is not generating its own or cannot generate enough to meet its peak load requirements, expires July 1, 1934. It is desirable that negotiations be started immediately to secure a new agreement. I recommend that the Acting Director of Buildings and Grounds Operations be authorized to enter into preliminary negotiations with the corporation, and to call on such members of the faculty as he deems necessary for advice. It is understood that these negotiations shall be for the purpose of determining what terms the University is able to get and that they will not involve any agreements as to rates or matters of policy without the approval of the Board. On motion of Mr. Armstrong, this recommendation was adopted. TREASURER'S BOND (9) A report from the Comptroller that in accordance with the authorization of the Board of Trustees at its meeting on July 10, 1933, the Treasurer's bond has been reduced from one million dollars to five hundred thousand dollars by the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York, which issued the bond. The reduction is effective July 11, 1933, and the bond at the reduced amount runs until the end of the present term of the Treasurer, March 11, 1935. This report was received for record. DEATH BENEFIT PROFESSOR EMERITUS H. J . BARTON (10) A report of the death on September 27, 1933, of Mr. H. J. Barton, Professor of Latin Language and Literature, Emeritus, and Secretary of the University Senate, who had been in the Service of the University over forty-two years when he retired on September 1, 1926. I have authorized the Comptroller to pay his estate the sum of $1,000, which was the death benefit payable under the rules of the Board and the terms of his employment. On motion of Mr. Barr, this action was confirmed.
