These bids total $47,010.52 for building construction only. It is estimated that laboratory equipment and apparatus, furnishings, and other incidental expenses will total $22,550.00, making the total cost of the building completely furnished and equipped $69,560.52.

This plan would provide the building plus a small portion of the equipment originally contemplated, the balance of which can be added later as funds become available at comparatively little additional cost.
