Committee.

19, 1908.

To the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois: ' Your Committee on Buildings and Grounds begs leave to report that it met at the University this day, all the members of the committee being present. The committee voted that the amount due English Bros, on the' Auditorium contract should be paid on the approval by Judge Harker of the papers submitted as sufficient to protect the interests of the University. The committee reports that it considers an electric fire patrol wagon the most desirable type of vehicle for the purposes of the University. With regard to the communication from the city council of Champaign concerning a detention hospital, the committee recommends that the board say in reply that it deems it inexpedient to accept the proposition at this time. The committee voted to locate the drop testing machine, now building for the Department of Railway Engineering,, north of the Engineering Experiment Station buildings, but far enough away so as not to interfere with adding two additional bays thereto. The committee, with the approval of the State Architect and the supervising architect, authorized the supervising architect. to get the opinion of an expert on the plans proposed for the ventilation of the addition to the Natural History building, and asssigned $250 for that purpose. Regarding the request for appropriations for repairs made by the supervising architect at the meeting of December 8th and referred to the committee with power, the following appropriations were made: Screening the Library tower $138 00 Repairing tower spiral stairway. 30 00 New gutters on the Materials Testing Laboratory building 160 00 Covering high pressure steam mains in Chemistry building 250 00 Railing in public office of College of Literature and Arts 25 00 Pour screens for the platform in the Auditorium 160 00 A pulpit for the platform 75 00
