A new lease has been negotiated with John Katsinas of Champaign, for a period of six years and eight months from November 1, 1944, at a rental of $350 a month, the same as for the previous lease. The University furnishes heat and hot water and keeps the exterior of the building in repair. The lessee is responsible for interior maintenance and for the installation of all equipment.

The terms of the lease are approved by Director C. S. Havens and Bursar C. A. Webber who have carried on the negotiations. The Comptroller recommends approval and requests authorization for himself and the Secretary of the Board to execute a lease in accordance with these conditions. I concur and request approval.
