AGREEMENTS FOR COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATIONS

(15) A report that I have authorized the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board to execute for the University the following agreements for cooperative investigations: 1. Agreement with the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers for an investigation of steam and hot water heating by the Engineering Experiment Station. This agreement will cover a period of one year from April 1, 1930, and the Institute has agreed to pay the sum of $3,000 for the expenses of this investigation. A similar investigation of this nature has previously been conducted by the Station in cooperation with this Institute. 2. Agreement with the National Lumber Manufacturers Association for a cooperative investigation of timber floors by the Engineering Experiment Station. This agreement has been drawn for a period of two years from September 15, 1930, and the Association agrees to pay the sum of $4800 for the expenses of the investigation. This agreement is similar in form and character to other cooperative agreements of this nature hitherto approved by the Board. On motion of Mrs. Evans, this action was approved.
