REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON ILLINOIS POWER A N D LIGHT CORPORATION C O N T R A C T President Armstrong presented the following report: The s e i l committee to which was referred a proposed agreement with the pca Illinois Power and Light Corporation to furnish the University with electrical power reports as follows: Your Committee had this matter considered by the Electrical Engineering Department of the University and by Professor White for study and, after giving the matter full consideration, the committee is impressed with the advantages of having an arrangement with the Power C o m p a n y which will enable the University to obtain electrical power if necessity should require at any time, and especially to obtain power during the summer months when the heating plant is not in operation. A written agreement has been prepared which seems to comply with the requirements of the University for the furnishing of this electrical power by the Power Company. Your committee, therefore, recommends that the agreement presented be submitted to the Legal Counsel of the University as to its legal aspects and, if approved by him, that the same be entered into by the Board of Trustees. J. W. Armstrong Merle J. Trees George A. Barr On motion of Dr. Noble, this report was adopted. OPERATION OF MCKINLEY HOSPITAL Dr. Noble, for the special committee on the operation of the M c Kinley Hospital, made a report of progress. CARTER-PENNELL REPORT Mrs. Busey, for the Committee on Agriculture, reported that the committee had considered the report, and recommended that i be t approved. The Sixth Annual Report of the Carler-Pennell Farms March 1, 1928, to February 28, 1929 The net income to the University from the Carter-Pennell farms was $2,302.21 for the year ending February 28, 1929. This is the best income received from the farms in any year that they have been under the control of the University except in 1923. In that year a slightly larger income was realized, due to the inclusion of some of the preceding year's income in the 1923 report. The larger income for the past year reflects directly the soil improvement work which has been done and the change in the type of farming.
