176 board of trustees [November 20 As to the weight of the slate, I do not believe the roof will be any heavier than that of the other buildings which started with 34" and ended up with %«". In any case the steel as designed was intended to carry the slate specified, 4j4" to the weather. Faithfully, Chaju.es A. Platt On motion of Dr. Noble, the Supervising Architect was authorized to receive bids o n this roof in accordance with M r . Piatt's recommendation. COOK COUNTY EXPERIMENT STATION HOUSE (13) The Supervising Architect has received the following schedule of bids on the Cook County Experiment Station House: S C H E D U L E O F BIDS Bidders Bids Total Edwin A B C D E Based on A Mensching.. . .$ 8,132.00* $ 8,032.00* $ 610.00** $250.00 $ 993.00 $ g,g9,$,oo^ E.

The low bidder has withdrawn since his bid was submitted. On the basis of the next low bid the cost of the Station House would be $11,563.70, which is so far beyond the appropriation made for this purpose by the Board of September 22, 1926, (Board Minutes—page 124) that Professor White recommends that all bids be rejected. I concur in this recommendation. O n motion of D r . Noble, this recommendation w a s adopted. DEATH OF PROFESSOR CHARLES MELVILLE MOSS (14) I regret to inform the Board that Dr. Charles Melville Moss, Professor of Classics, Emeritus, died at his home in Urbana on November 9, following a week's illness. Professor Moss came on the staff as Professor of Greek Language and Literature in 1891 and served continuously until, by action of the Board on June 11, 1918 (page 801), he was retired with a retiring allowance of $1900 a year. This report w a s received for record.
