CONTRACT FOR ADDITIONAL FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT FOR GREGORY HALL (5) T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department submits the following schedule of bids received for additional furniture and equipment for Gregory Hall: W. B. Read & Co., Bloomington $2 089 18 T h e J. N. Johnson Co., i n N. 10th St., Mt. Vernon 2 243 04 Newton & Hoit Furniture Co., 845 S. Wabash Ave., Chicago 2 478 12 Globe Furniture & Stationery Co., 168 W. Monroe St., Chicago 2 526 32 Business Furniture Co., 112 E. Maryland St., Indianapolis 3 778 69 H e recommends the award of contract to W . B. Read & Co., of Bloomington, the lowest bidder, for $2,089.18. I concur in this recommendation. Since this is supplementary to a previous contract awarded to W. B. Read & Company for furniture and equipment for Gregory Hall, the Regional Director's office suggests that instead of awarding a second contract this be covered by a change order in the first. This award therefore becomes Gregory Hall Furniture and Equipment Contract Change Order No. 5, superseding previous Change Order No. 5. O n m o t i o n of M r .
