approximately $135,000 over the period of financing the Medical Center Steam Company plant. The increase of $370,000 for the construction of the larger addition to the building will require an increase of $32,000 a year in the Physical Plant Department budget, beginning with the biennium 1959-61, for payment of the increase in debt service in financing this construction; the increase in debt service resulting from the construction and installation of the fifth boiler unit will not go into effect until 1961. The Director of the Physical Plant, the Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board of Trustees authorize an increase of $1,210,000 for the construction of the addition to the plant building and for the construction and installation of a fifth boiler in the contract between the Medical Center Steam Company and Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation.

LUKE'S HOSPITAL STEAM T U N N E L (19) As a supplement to the contract with Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital for steam service from the Medical Center System Company plant, it is necessary to grant the Hospital an easement for the construction of the steam tunnel, since this is related to the University's interest in land. Accordingly the following Resolution is offered: Resolution Be it and it is hereby, resolved by the Board of Trustess of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the State of Illinois, that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be, and they hereby are, authorized to execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of this corporation an agreement for easement, together with such other document or documents as to them may appear necessary and desirable, for the purpose of granting the right, easement, permission and authority to Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital and the Medical Center Steam Company to enter upon University property in Chicago, Illinois, bounded on the west by South Wood Street, on the north by West Polk Street, and on the east by South Hermitage Avenue; to construct thereon a steam tunnel extending from the existing valve chamber on South Wood Street approximately 150 feet south of West Polk Street, to a connection with an existing steam distribution tunnel on South Hermitage Avenue just south of the intersection of South Hermitage Avenue and West Polk Street, and related facilities and appurtenances; and to use, operate, maintain, renew and remove said tunnel, facilities and appurtenances ; together with the right of ingress to and egress from said land at all times for any and all such purposes; said Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital and Medical Center Steam Company to agree to restore as nearly as possible to its original condition any and all University property damaged or disturbed by such construction, use, operation, maintenance, renewal and removal; and said Presbyterian-St. Luke's Hospital and Medical Center Steam Company to agree to indemnify this corporation against loss in any way arising out of this project; for so long as used for said purposes, and until this corporation acquires title and ownership of the property and facilities of Medical Center Steam Company; in consideration of One Dollar and other good and valuable consideration.
