344 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 8 period May I, 1939 to April 30, 1942. The Company will be growing seed of this variety and introducing it to the general public. The agreement conforms in all essential particulars with similar agreements of this type heretofore authorized by the Board. On motion of Mr. Moschel, these cooperative investigations were authorized as recommended. EXTENSION OF COOPERATIVE INVESTIGATIONS (15) A report of the extension of the following agreements for cooperative research investigations and a request for confirmation of such extensions: 1. Tobacco By-Products and Chemical Corporation, Louisville, Kentucky, agreement covering research work by the Agricultural Experiment Station in certain nicotine combinations used as insecticides, from March 1, 1939, to February 28, 1940. The Corporation has agreed to contribute an additional $1,243.89 for carrying on this work. 2. Edward Orton Jr. Ceramic Foundation, Columbus, Ohio, agreement for investigation of some factors controlling the uses of clays, for two years from September I, 1939. The Foundation agrees to contribute an additional $1,500 (or $750 per year) for carrying on this work. 3. United States Bureau of Public Roads, investigation of the fatigue strength of welded joints for structural steel members, for one year from July 1. 1939- The Bureau will contribute $3,500 toward the expenses of this investigation. 4. United States Bureau of Public Roads and the Illinois Division of Highways, for cooperative investigation of reinforced concrete slabs, for one year from July 1, 1939. Each agency will contribute $10,000, or a total of $20,000 for the expense of the investigation. On motion of Mr. Jensen, the action of the President of the University in extending these agreements was approved and confirmed. DELEGATION OF SIGNATURES (16) To expedite the transaction of business in the Chicago Departments the Comptroller recommends that certain officers in the branch Business Office in Chicago be authorized to sign the names of the President and the Secretary of the Board to vouchers. This will make it possible for that office to transmit vouchers covering transactions directly to the State Auditor in Springfield instead of through the Business Office at Urbana as heretofore, thus saving one step. The following resolution is offered: Resolved, that the President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois are authorized to delegate the signing of their names as President and Secretary, respectively, to vouchers to be presented to the State Auditor, for payment from State appropriations to the University when approved in accordance with the regulations of the Board, as follows: The President of the Board of Trustees is authorized to delegate to J. E. Millizen, J. F. Knight, and D. H. Henze authority to sign his name as President of the Board of Trustees to such vouchers; The Secretary of the Board of Trustees is authorized to delegate to G. R. Moon and Velma M. Davis authority to sign his name as Secretary of the Board of Trustees to such vouchers. This authorization is in addition to previous authorizations approved March 14. 1939. On motion of Mr. Jensen, this resolution was adopted. PURCHASES RECOMMENDED (17) A recommendation that the following purchases be authorized: 1. One Model G-70 Nuline Milwaukee Bottle Filler and Capper, from Cherry Burrell Corporation, Chicago, the lowest bidder, at a price of $1,200 F.O.B. Milwaukee. 2. One Car (400 cases) Tissue Towels, from the Decatur Paper House, Decatur, Illinois, the lowest bidder, at a total cost of $1,356 F.O.B. Urbana.
