In addition, the following provisions will be included in the agreement: 1. The right to add tile and repair tile across the taking until the roadbed is constructed. 2. Request the Department of Transportation to agree that adequate provision will be made to provide for drainage equivalent to that which existed before the construction of Interstate Route 72. 3. Any damages resulting from the loss of growing crops shall not be covered by this Agreement, and the Owner may file a claim for such damages without regard to this Contract and Stipulation. 4. The Department of Transportation disclaims any interest in crops growing upon said property and the Owner shall have the right to harvest such crops at any time before the commencement of construction activities upon said property. 5. Request Department of Transportation to agree to restoring temporary easement land equivalent to that which existed before the construction, (Remove all foreign material, restore black soil on top, grade for farming, etc.) Because of the indenture under which the University acquired these farms, the sale is subject to approval by the President of the Alumni Association of the University of Illinois and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois. After consultation with the appropriate administrative officers, I recommend the approval of this sale subject to further approvals as indicated above.

On motion of Mr. Steger, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr, Howard, Mr, Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mrs. Rader, Mr. Steger, Mr, Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Mr, Neat, Governor Walker.

REQUEST TO ILLINOIS BUILDING AUTHORITY TO INCREASE CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION O F THE MEDICAL RESEARCH LABORATORY ADDITION, MEDICAL CENTER

(22) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate adminr istrative officers, recommends that the Illinois Building Authority be requested to increase the authorized payments under the contract of the general contractor, Erik A. Borg Company, Chicago, in the amount of $94,288.77 for additional costs for materials and labor as a result of delays caused by caisson problems during construction of the Medical Research Laboratory Addition at the Medical Center campus. It is further recommended that concurrently with such payment the Illinois Building Authority secure a final release from the general contractor on the project, which was occupied in September 1971. Funds are available in the project budget.
