48 board of trustees [September 26, "It is impossible to make an estimate on the cost of this work at the present time because I don't know how far we shall have to go, but it is going to be quite an extensive repair job. W e may, however, be able to keep it within ?6,ooo. I am charging this work to our building maintenance appropriation. To have torn the upper part of the tower down and to have re-roofed it and made the lower walls safe, would have cost at least half of this amount. This report w a s received for record. VALIDATION OF BONDS FOR PAVING STADIUM APPROACHES (27) O n June 9, 1924, the Board of Trustees authorized the signing of a document to validate the bonds on our paving improvements and contemplated a single document covering the paving of Fourth Street, First Street, and Stadium Drive. This work was let in three separate contracts and becomes three separate improvements. The city attorney of Champaign therefore requests that the Board of Trustees now approve the executing of three separate documents—one for each improvement rather than combining them all under one validation. The officers of the Board were authorized to execute three separate d o c u m e n t s to validate the b o n d s for paving the approaches to the Stadium. CONTRACTS FOR AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS (28) A letter from the Supervising Architect: President David Kinley, J55 Administration Bldg. Dear President Kinley: I enclose a list of bids received yesterday on the Dairy Barn, Swine Plant, and the Horse Barn. It so happens that there is a different bidder low on each job so that the percentage deductions for combinations do not have any effect. I recommend that the general contract for the Dairy Barn be awarded to Sowers & Corkery on the basis of their bid accepting the deduction of $12,000, for omitting the fourth wing, which makes their bid $43,000. W e have not contemplated building more than the three wings, but took thefigureson the basis of the completed structure for our own information. The bids on the Swine Plant and the Horse Barn overran the appropriations of $20,000 each. It will therefore be impossible to award these contracts unless the Board approve the redistribution of the Agricultural College Building funds as recommended in the accompanying letter from Dean Mumford. If you will approve this redistribution (and I believe it is the wise thing to do), then I recommend the award of the general contract for the Swine Plant to Ellis Brooks for the sum of $15,985.00 and for the Horse Barn to King & Petry for the sum of $29,655.0x3. Thefigurefor the Horse Barn represents practically a completed structure,but the contracts for ventilation, lighting, plumbing, equipment, and fencing in connection with the Swine Plant will bring Swine its total cost up above the present appropriation. 4 Horse Horse Barn Horse Ban,r Wing Dairy Yours truly, Bidders Dairy Barn Dairy Barn Deduct White Deduct James Deduct Brooks, Ellis. . . . $15 985 $45 000 0 Supervising Architect 0 0 English Brothers. $56 834 25, 1924—2:0032 439 473 9 334 I#% *% LIST & Petry SEPTEMBER 5i9 725 OF BIDS p.655 m.
