Sargent and Lundy as engineers on the power plant and utility distribution system. Their fee, which is standard for other similar University projects, will be: 1. Engineering and drafting at actual salary and wages plus 100 per cent. (Engineering and drafting are charged at straight time rates for the number of hours actually devoted to the work.

Traveling expenses, including transportation, room, board, etc., at charged cost to Sargent and Lundy. 4. Miscellaneous expenses, including calculating board studies, telegraph, long distance telephone, blueprints, etc., at charged cost to Sargent and Lundy. It is not possible at this time to estimate accurately the cost of these services, but they will run from $75,000 to $100,000. This recommendation was previously submitted to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds and the Committee concurs.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, these recommendations were approved.

LEASE OF PROPERTY A T I 1 0 2 A WEST MAIN STREET, URBANA

Mr. Pogue, for the Committee on Buildings and Grounds, presented the following report and recommendation:

As a part of the general program to provide additional office and laboratory facilities for this fall, the Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend leasing of quarters in the building at 1102A West Main Street, Urbana. This building was formerly occupied by the Jewel Tea Company as part of the Eisner store chain. Recently, Mr. Cyrus Vaughn of Champaign acquired this building, and the space has been offered to the University of Illinois. Approximately 1,368 square feet of space can be leased at a rental of $150 a month ($1.32 per square f o o t ) ; and the lessor will: 1. Do the necessary remodeling to make the storeroom usable. 2. Subdivide the large area with a partition. 3. Paint all the interior walls and ceilings. 4. Install a separate toilet. 5. Make available to the University certain parking facilities located at the rear of the building. 6. Be responsible for exterior maintenance, insurance, taxes, etc. The University will assume the cost of electricity, heat, water, gas, custodian services, and any further alterations required for University use. The College of Education and the University High School have a research program involving the filming of classroom techniques. The building at 1102A West Main Street will provide the necessary laboratory and office space. The personnel involved in the program have inspected the property and state that this space is suitable for their needs. The annual rental ($1,800) and the operation and maintenance cost ($2,050) will require a total recurring appropriation of $3,850. Funds are available to the College of Education in research contracts. In view of the fact that no new academic buildings can be completed for another four-year period, it is recommended that this space be leased for a two-year period, commencing July I, 1959. This recommendation was previously submitted to the Committee on Buildings and Grounds and the Committee concurs.

On motion of Mr. Pogue, this lease was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Harewood, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Stratton, Mr. Wilkins.
