MATTERS PRESENTED BY PRESIDENT WILLARD T h e Board considered the following matters presented by the President of the University. SALE OF EQUIPMENT, OLD POWER PLANT (1) The Board at its meeting on April 17 approved the award of contracts for the removal of equipment in the Old Power Plant. The Director of the Physical Plant Department now recommends the rejection of all bids, for the following reasons: 1. Withdrawal of the best bid for the purchase of the turbo-generators. The specifications permitted the University to hold the bids for thirty days. The Board action was taken on the thirty-first day, and the bidder on that date wired his withdrawal. The next bid, if accepted, would add $2,950 to the cost of this project. 2. By an error in interpreting the bid of one of the contractors, the amount received by the University through the sale of certain other pieces of equipment would be decreased by $2,922.50. The Director recommends the rejection of all bids and permission to readvertise for additional bids. O n motion of D r . Meyer, this recommendation w a s adopted.
