492 BOAKO OF TRUSTEES PURCHASES RECOMMENDED [December 18 (19) A recommendation that the following purchases be authorized: 1. Twenty-five hundred diplomas from E. A. Wright and Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the lowest bidder, at a price of $750. 2. Twenty-six hundred diploma covers from B. C. Kassell Company, of Chicago, the lowest bidder, at a cost of 77 cents each, or a total price of $2,002. 3. Two cars of lumber (one car of Douglas Fir and one mixed car consisting of Oak, Redwood, and White Pine) for Physical Plant stock from H. C. Stone Lumber Company, of Peoria, Illinois, the lowest bidder in both cases, at the following prices, f.o.b. Urbana: Fir lumber, $807.25; mixed lumber, $1,822.00. On motion of Dr. Meyer, these purchases were authorized. PURCHASES AUTHORIZED (20) By action of the Board on July 26, 1935 (Minutes, page 367), the President of the University was authorized to approve purchases for the Board when in his opinion an emergency exists. Pursuant to this action the following purchases amounting to $1,000 and over have been authorized: 1. Wood-stave steam-pipe casing for use on steam line to warehouse from A. Wyckoff and Son Company at a price of $2,156.24, f.o.b. Urbana. (This quotation is somewhat higher than that submitted by the American District Steam Company, but after examination of samples of both casings, it is the opinion of the Physical Plant Department that the Wyckoff casing is superior because (a) it comes in longer laying lengths, with consequently lower labor cost; (b) it has a heavier cover; (c) it is constructed of California redwood, as contrasted with white pine; and (d) there is a heavier wire around the log.) 2. One carload of steel pipe from George B. Limbert and Company, of Chicago, the low bidder, at a price of $1,576.85, f.o.b. Urbana. (Most of this pipe is for use on steam line to warehouse. Sufficient quantity for stock is added to make carload shipment, thus getting a lower price on all.) 3. X-ray spectrograph and equipment for research work in agronomy, from F. M. Bard, of Chicago, at a cost of $2,500 to be charged against Federal funds available for this purchase. On motion of Mr. Mayer, the action of the President in authorizing these purchases was confirmed.
