LEASE WITH CHICAGO CHAPTER, AMERICAN RED CROSS, FOR DIVISION O F SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN, CHICAGO OFFICE (15) The Chicago Office of the Division of Services for Crippled Children has occupied 4,700 square feet of space in the State of Illinois Building at 160 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois, since July 1, 1951. Due to additional space needs of the State Department of Finance, the Division has been requested to vacate the building. Sufficient space is not available in University facilities, so it is necessary to lease in a commercial building. Suitable space consisting of 4,800 square feet has been located in the building of the Chicago Chapter, American Red Cross, at 43 East Ohio Street, Chicago, Illinois. T h e lessor agrees to pay for the necessary remodeling and to furnish heat, water, air conditioning, decorating, and janitor service for a rental charge of $4.25 per square foot per year, or an annual charge of $20,400. This rate is reasonable considering the location and standard of quality of the quarters. For the period July 1, 1951, through June 30, 1955, the Division made a rental payment to the state of Illinois of $12,900 per year. Subsequently, the state appropriations to the Division for contractual services were decreased by that amount and the Division has occupied the space rent free. The Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children, the VicePresident at the Medical Center, and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of a lease with the Chicago Chapter, American Red Cross, for space at an annual rental of $20,400 for the period July 1, 1963, through June 30, 1965, with the option to renew for two successive two-year periods from July 1, 1965, to June 30, 1969; with the lessor having the right to increase rent for the period July 1, 1967, to June 30, 1969, if the operating expenses of the building should increase, such increase in rent to be limited to 4.8 per cent of the total increase in operating costs of the building. I concur. O n m o t i o n of M r . S w a i n , t h i s l e a s e w a s a u t h o r i z e d b y t h e f o l l o w i n g vote: A y e , M r . C l e m e n t , M r . D i l l i a r d , M r .

ANNEXATION O F LAND BY T H E URBANA AND CHAMPAIGN SANITARY DISTRICT (16) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend authorization of annexation of the following described area of University property by the Urbana and Champaign Sanitary District: The South 264 feet of the area bounded by Florida Avenue, First Street, St. Mary's Road, and the Illinois Central Railroad; All University-owned land between First Street and the Illinois Central Railroad, south of St. Mary's Road and north of the south line of Section 24 R 8 E (Shapland Road extended). The area to be annexed includes the site of the proposed Firemanship Training College and the Mental Health Center. T h e University is requesting legislation to transfer the Mental Health Center site to the State Department of Mental Health, which concurs in the proposed annexation. Annexation is necessary to provide for the treatment of sewage from these sources. A plat of the area including the legal description is being filed with the Secretary of the Board for record as part of this recommendation. I recommend that the Secretary and the Comptroller be authorized to execute the petition and any other documents necessary to effect the annexation, subject to approval of the Legal Counsel.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this annexation was approved by the fol-
