MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD

The Board resumed its consideration of matters presented by the President of the University.

EXPENDITURES O N MEDICAL A N D DENTAL BUILDING

(17) A statement concerning the expenditures on account of the second unit of the new Medical and Dental College Laboratories building authorized July 16, 1937 (Minutes, page 310). The Comptroller made a statement on this matter. On motion of Mr. Mayer, the Board voted to modify its action of July 16, 1937 (Minutes, page 310), by rescinding the following authorizations : 1. That the payment of operation and maintenance expenditures on the second unit, not to exceed $21,856.37, from the Foundation Revenue Fund be authorized. 2. That the Physical Plant Department operation and maintenance appropriation be reduced by this same amount. The appropriation of $21,856.37 made from the General Reserve Fund at that meeting is to stand. This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Cleary, Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Karraker, Mr, Mayer, Mr. Moschel, Mrs. Plumb, Mr. Pogue; no, none; absent, Mr. Adams, Mr. Horner, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Wieland.

CONTRACT CHANGE ORDERS FOR MEDICAL A N D DENTAL BUILDING

(18) As reported to the Board on July 16, 1937 (Minutes, page 310), regulations of the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works required the payment of interest on the Medical and Dental College Building Trust bonds, due prior to the completion date, from the construction fund. This originally amounted to $21,856.37, but the P.W.A. requires payment from the construction fund of interest up to September I, instead of to June 30 as originally contemplated, which will further reduce the balance in the construction fund by approximately $9,000. It is therefore necessary to withdraw the following change orders previously authorized as a charge against the construction fund and to charge the work covered by them to the special appropriation made by the Board on July 16, and consequently these change orders should be withdrawn: Plumbing—Contract Change Order No. 21 $ 230 00 Heating—Contract Change Order No. 15 7 315 00 Ventilating—Contract Change Order No. 8 I 892 00 Electrical—Contract Change Order No. 15 511 89 On motion of Mrs. Plumb, the following resolution was adopted: Be it resolved, that the resolution adopted July 16, 1937 (Minutes, pages 312-313), authorizing and ratifying contract change orders Plumbing, No. 21, Heating, No. 15, Ventilating, No. 8, Electrical, No. 15, on the second unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building in process of construction as Illinois Public Works Administration Project No. 1057, be modified and rescinded with respect to the four items specified herein, and that the work covered by them be charged to a special appropriation made by the Board of Trustees on July 16, 1937, as recommended.
