TRANSFER OF W E S T DIVISION H I G H SCHOOL PROPERTY.

The committee on transfer of West Division High School property made the following report, which was adopted:

URBANA, ILLINOIS, October 24, 1902.

To the Board of Trustees. Your special committee on the transfer of the West Division High School property desires to report that an error in t h e recommendations of your committee i n its report made a t the last regular meeting, September 9, 1902," should be corrected. The committee a t that time reported all the papers necessary to the transfer and recommended that the deed be rcorded in the recorder's office in Cook county and then sent to the Secretary of State to be held in escrow by him; whereas, to conform to the method followed in the first transfer, the recommendation should have been that the contract be recorded in the recorder's office of Cook county and the deed sent to the office of the Secretary of State a t Springfield, to be held in escrow by him till the contract had been fulfilled. As the deed has been recorded as was recommended, in order to correct the mistake thus made, your eommittee recommends that the officers of this Board be authorized and instructed to have drawn and executed a quit claim deed of the said West Division High School property from the University of Illinois to the College of Physicians a n d Surgeons and to have i t recorded in the recorder's office of Cook county, and that in exchange for this deed, they be instructed to accept another warranty deed f o r the same property from the College of Physicians and Surgeons to the University of Illinois, which deed our officers are instructed to have placed in escrow in t h e hands of the Secretary of State of Illinois, in accordance with the contract reported to the meeting of this Board on September 9th last; and further, that they be instructed to have the said contract recorded in the recorder's office in Cook county. Eespectfully submitted,
