CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE TO CENTRAL NATIONAL BANK BUILDING AT CHICAGO CIRCLE (30) The University is purchasing the Central National Bank at 728 West Roosevelt Road, on or about July 1, 1964. This building will require separate electrical service from the Commonwealth Edison Company, since it is not economical to run service from the heating plant. Commonwealth Edison will supply electricity at the bank building at 2.16KV transformed to 120/240 volts and 2.74KV transformed to 240 volts, at a monthly facilities rental service charge of $71.00 plus excess metering charges for a combined billing at a monthly rental of $46.20. T h e nonrecurring cost for excess facilities to supply electricity at a second point is $4,274. It is estimated that the savings effected by combined billing will amortize the excess facilities cost of $4,274 in one year's time. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller therefore recommend authorization of an agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company, Chicago, for the electrical service at the new Chicago Campus, and that the University pay Commonwealth Edison Company the standard excess facility charges of $4,274. Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University for 1963-65 from the Universities Building Fund and have been released. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this agreement was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Jones, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Kerner, Mr. Page, Mr. Williamson.
