CONTRACT WITH NAVAL RESEARCH LABORATORY (24) On September 11, 1934 (Minutes, page 24), the Board confirmed the action of the Acting President authorizing the execution of a standard form of Government contract providing for an investigation by the Department of Chemistry to obtain scientific information for use by the Navy Department in the development of the lead-acid storage batteries, particularly experimental X-ray crystallographic studies relating to the problem of increasing the capacity of lead-acid storage cells. The Naval Research Laboratory wishes a renewal of this contract and will pay the sum of $1,000 to cover the expenses of this research work for a period of eleven months beginning July 1, 1935. This will provide stipends of $000 and $400 for two research fellowships. I recommend approval of this project. Since Federal regulations require a performance bond, I recommend adoption of a resolution authorizing the Comptroller to deliver such a bond in the sum of $200.

On motion of Mr. Barrett, the renewal of this contract was authorized and the following resolution was adopted:

Resolved, that Lloyd Morey, Comptroller, Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, be and hereby is authorized and directed to execute in the name of this Board a performance bond in the United States of America in the penal sum of two hundred dollars ($200) required on account of a contract with the Naval Research Laboratory for research to be carried on, on lead-acid storage cells, in accordance with contract dated July 16, 1935.
