I further report that the Committee refused to accept the suggested resignation of Mr. H. S. Capron as a member of this Executive Committee. The Committee approved contract entered into on June 14th with Stipes & Hecker of Champaign to furnish all the Portland cement required by the purchaser, estimated at 30,000 bbls. at $2.52 per bbl. in cloth sacks or $2.07 in bulk, to complete the construction of the Stadium, to be delivered in car lots f.o.b.

Terms of payment: Net cash 30 days of 10c per bbl. discount for cash in 10 days from date of invoice. Contract provided that should the Company's market price in effect at delivery point named be reduced below the price named herein, a like reduction will be in effect. The Architects expect to have plans and specifications ready for the contractors on July 19 and it is hoped that contract can be awarded three weeks later with the possibility of building operations commencing during the last week in August or early September.
