208 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 8, DAMAGE TO PROFESSOR HOLLJSTER'S H O U S E (1) A request from Professor H. A. Hollister for compensation for damage caused by the backing up of sewage into the basement of his house on Armory Avenue. It appears that when provision was made to care for the sanitary waste of the Armory, incident to the construction of the S. A. T. C. kitchen, all the sanitary waste, except the dishwater, was carried into the sanitary sewer. As Professor White thought the sanitary sewer was not capable of carrying all the dishwater, part of it was turned into the storm sewer. Owing to the stoppage of the storm sewer line, this backed up into Professor Hollister's basement. Professor Hollister incurred a damage from this action of the University authorities amounting to $63.00 as indicated in the appended statement. Professor White thinks he has a just claim for this amount. URBANA, ILLINOIS, December 30,1918 The University of Illinois, , Dr. To H, A.
