May 26, 1919 Dr. David Kinky, Vice-President\ University of Illinois M Y DEAR D R . KINLEY: I am pleased to advise you that the matter of military uniforms for students in the R. O. T. C. for the year 1918-19, which has been so long in abeyance, has finally been concluded, all money due from the United States Government as well as from students on this account, having been paid in full. I give below a summary of all transactions relating thereto: Disbursements To Tacob Reed's Sons $31,440.00 To J. M. Kaufman and Company 11,903.49 $43,343.49 Receipts From U. S. Government. $30,324.00 From individual students 5,412.00 35,736.00 Balance paid for unclaimed commutations for 1917-1918 Cordially yours, LLOYD MOREY $7,607.49 This report was received for record. BIDS FOR MCKINLEY HOSPITAL (8) A letter from the supervising architect and an estimate of the total cost of the McKinley Hospital at present rates and prices. October 3, 1919 Acting President David Kinley, 335 Admiiiistration Building DEAR SIR: I enclose a schedule of the bids and estimates for the cost of the McKinley Hospital which is $175,400. I believe we ought either to go ahead with the building as we have it, or re-draw the plans for a smaller building. We could reduce the cost fifteen to twenty thousand dollars by leaving off the sun porches, omitting the temperature regulation, substituting cement for tile wainscot, etc., but I do not favor this plan. I would rather have a smaller unit and have it the way we want it. We could award contracts within the appropriation of $120,000.00 and then award the contracts necessary for the completion of the building. In that way the University, and not the contractors, would be taking the chances on rise or fall in cost of material and labor. I should be perfectly willing to proceed on this basis. Yours truly, JAMES M. W H I T E , Supervising Architect
