Toithe President and Members of the Board of Trustees Illinois Industrial University: The undersigned would respectfully report that we have examined the recommendation of Regent Peabody relative to obtaining new pump and boiler, together with the matter of piping the roof of main building to be used for fire purposes, and find that the plan is feasible and would doubtless be of great benefit in case of tire. We therefore recommend that an appropriation from current fund account be made, not to exceed $850, for the purpose of obtaining the pump, boiler and necessary piping as set forth in said report. We would also recommend that a sufficient space be enclosed at landing in the attic of main building, with suitable doors, for easy access to said attic, with keys for same to be kept in a proper place so as to be easily obtained in case of fire; also that all the woodwork in same be painted with fire-proof paint. And further, report that the foregoing matters be referred to Executive Committee and Kegent for completion, and to report at next meeting of the Board. We would further recommend that the Executive Committee obtain one gross of fire hand-grenades, the same to be distributed throughout the building in the most available and useful places for immediate use in case of fire. Respectfully submitted, ALEX. McLEAN, PARKER EARLE, Committee. The report was received and approved. A sum not to exceed $850 was appropriated for the purpose. Treasurer J. W.
