1962] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1305 White, Weld, and Company, who handled the original bond sale, received consent from the present holders for the issuance of the additional bonds. Two of the original purchasers have agreed to purchase the supplemental issue at an effective interest rate of 3.90 per cent. This compares with a rate of 4.32 per cent on the original issue and is in line with changes in the market since 1959. The bonds will become due through the operation of the sinking fund after the original bonds have been retired. I concur in the foregoing recommendation. The Finance Committee has also been consulted and concurs in recommendations that the bonds be sold at an effective interest rate of 3.90 per cent, and that bonds totalling $400,000 be sold to Allstate Insurance Company and $200,000 to State F a r m Mutual Automobile Insurance Company; that White, Weld, and Company be paid a fee of $2.00 per $1,000 for its services in connection with the sale; and that Chapman and Cutler be employed as counsel for the bond issue. A formal resolution will be presented to the Board for adoption at a subsequent meeting. O n m o t i o n of M r .
