P H Y S I C S R E S E A R C H LABORATORY ELEVATOR (4) Bids were opened February 5, 1946, for elevator installation in the Physics Research Laboratory as follows: Warner Elevator Company, $8,694, plus $375 for automatic door operation. Otis Elevator Company, $6,522. T h e bid from the W a r n e r Elevator Company contained no certified check, and the Otis Elevator Company bid was qualified to indicate that the bid covered a standard design, which varied somewhat from specifications. T h e variations are acceptable to the University, and the Director of the Physical Plant recommends, with the concurrence of the Comptroller, that the Otis Elevator Company bid be accepted at the price indicated, which is within the preliminary estimate of cost. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this contract was awarded as recommended.
