PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT 3 0 7 EAST DANIEL. STREET, CHAMPAIGN. ILLINOIS. A N D APPROPRIATION FOR REMODELING

(8) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend the purchase of the property at 307 East Daniel Street, Champaign, at a price of $38,000, for the replacement of a women's cooperative house located at 1210 West Springfield Avenue, Urbana, Illinois, which is needed for office space. The property consists of a lot 64 feet wide by 146 feet deep and is improved with a two and one-half story and basement frame dwelling used as an apartment and student rooming house. Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University from the Universities Building Fund and have been released. The price is within $200 of the appraised value of the house but represents a decrease of approximately $4,000 in the price previously asked by the owner. It is further recommended that $12,000 be assigned from general indirect costs for the remodeling of 307 East Daniel Street, Champaign, Illinois. I concur. On motion of Mr. Pogue, the purchase of this property, at the price recommended, and the requested assignment of funds were authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Clement, Mr. Dilliard, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Pogue, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Kerner, Mr. Page. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, the Board adjourned.
