1958] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1093 during the calendar year 1959 and for additional funds for expansion of the research be submitted to the Office of Naval Research. I concur. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. CONTRACT TO SUPPLY STEAM SERVICE TO PRESBYTERIAN-ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL (12) The steam for University of Illinois buildings in the Medical Center District is produced by the Medical Center Steam Company, a separate corporation authorized by the Medical Center Commission to operate a steam plant in the District to serve the University and other institutions in that area. Under an agreement with the Commission (this was one of the basic considerations in securing its cooperation in the organization of the Medical Center Steam Company and authorization to operate a steam plant in the Medical Center District), the University also furnishes steam produced by the Company to any other government agency, charitable institution, or other institution located in the District upon its application and upon certification by the Commission that the agency or institution is a qualified applicant for steam service, subject to the availability of an adequate steam supply. Officials of Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital desire to contract with the University for steam service for the new Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital buildings in the Medical Center District. The Board of Trustees Committee on Buildings and Grounds received a preliminary report on this proposal on November 21, 1957, and authorized the Vice-President and Comptroller to conclude negotiations with Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital, the terms of the contract to be subject to final approval by the Board of Trustees. The University has, since the Medical Center Steam Company Plant was placed in operation, accepted other organizations in the Medical Center District as users of steam. T h e total demand from such users, other than the University, as for a maximum of 88,300 pounds of steam an hour. This, plus the University's needs of 88,200 pounds an hour, represents a total demand of 176,500 pounds an hour; the present firm capacity of the plant is 180,000 pounds an hour. The needs of Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital for its new building now under construction are 85,000 pounds an hour; hence to supply the steam needed will require an addition to the steam plant by the installation of a new boiler with a capacity of perhaps 90,000 pounds an hour. The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the University enter into an agreement with Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital to furnish the steam requested according to the following plan and terms: 1. The University will request the Medical Center Steam Company to add to its steam plant a new boiler, having a capacity of approximately 90,000 pounds of steam an hour, at an estimated cost of $1,250,000. 2. Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital will pay the Steam Company, through the University, over a period of time from the effective date of the contract to July 1, 1981, a proportionate share of the cost of the addition of the boiler to the steam plant, together with a proportionate share of the cost of financing the addition to the plant and any other indirect costs to the Medical Center Steam Company occasioned by the addition. Based on estimates that the additional boiler will produce 90,000 pounds of steam an hour, whereas Presbyterian-St. Luke's demand for steam will be 85,000 pounds an hour, the proportionate share of the cost to be borne by Presbyterian-St. Luke's will be 85/90 of the costs occasioned by the addition of the boiler. 3. Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital will pay for the construction of the necessary addition to the distribution system, estimated to cost $400,000. Upon completion of the necessary addition to the distribution line, which will be constructed in accordance with specifications approved by the University, title to the addition to the distribution system will be conveyed to the Medical Center Steam Company by Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital, and the Medical Center Steam Company will issue its notes in payment for the distribution system. 4- Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital, over a period of time from the effective Qate of the contract to July I, 1981, will pay to the Medical Center Steam Company,
