CONTRACT FOR RENTAL OF TABULATING MACHINES (15) T h e Comptroller requests authorization for the rental of tabulating machines at a cost of $11,803.20, for the use of the Business Office Tabulating Division, from the International Business Machines Corporation, for the year July 1, 1946, to June 30, 1047. Competitive bids were not asked, as the tabulating systems are built up around International Business Machines equipment and no other machines can be used. These machines are available on a rental basis only. This is the total cost for the year on the equipment now in our possession, and will be subject to change as equipment is changed during the year. This is merely a continuation of present arrangements. This service is operated as a revolving account and is charged to departments at cost:

1 Dr. Stoddard notified the President of the University on June 19, 1946, of his approval of these changes.
