Your Committee on Buildings and Grounds begs leave to report as follows concerning the contracts for furnishing and hauling coal for the University during the year ending August 31, 1903: J u l y 11th an advertisement was inserted in two Champaign, one Urbana and three Chicago papers asking for proposals for coal. The same was mailed to about thirty dealers in Illinois, known to us, and a letter was sent to them calling their attention to the advertisement. The attention of the Wabash and Illinois Central Railroad officials was also called to the advertisement by letter. July 29th your committee received the following sealed propoals: O 'Gara, King & Company, Chicago $1 49 a ton. Bell & Zoller Coal Company, Chicago 1 50 a ton. Springside Coal Mining Company, P a n a 1 35 a ton. Eiverton Coal Company, Chicago 1 1 7 a ton. St. Louis & Big Muddy Coal Company, Carbondale, washed pea . .s 1 93 a ton. Madison Coal Company, and Mt. Olive Coal Company, St. Louis, mixed nut, pea and slack 1 25 a ton. Your committee awarded the contract to the Eiverton Coal Company at $1.17 a ton, f. o. b. cars Urbana, as it was the lowest and best proposal. At the same time and place proposals were asked and received for hauling coal for the year ending August 31, 1903, from the railroad tracks to the heating plant. Only one bid was received, that from Renner Brothers, Urbana, for twenty cents a ton from Urbana or Green street, Champaign; twenty-five cents from Illinois Central yards, Champaign; thirty cents from the Wabash tracks, Champaign. The proposal for hauling coal from the Urbana tracks was accepted. The price of the coal is one cent less than last year, and the price of the hauling the same as last year. The contractors in both cases are the same who had the contract last year. Each gave good satisfaction on last year's contract. A good bond has been furnished by the Eiverton Coal Company, and the contract has been executed, and all the papers have been filed with Secretary of this Board. Eespectfully submitted, ALEXANDER M C L E A N , S. A. BULLARD, A. F . NIGHTINGALE, F . M. M C K A Y , MARY T. CARRIEL, Committee on Buildings and Grounds.
