1954] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 139 ADDITION T O C O N T R A C T FOR UTILITIES EXTENSION INSTALLATION (14) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend that the contract with the George S. Walker Plumbing and Heating Company, Decatur, for installation of utility extensions to service the Home Economics, Veterinary Clinic, and Law Buildings be increased by $3,419. At the time this contract was executed plans for the Veterinary Clinic Building, particularly with respect to the location of the mechanical equipment room, were not complete, and a tentative location was specified. As plans for the building were developed the best location of the room was found to be fifty feet south of the tentative location specified, which will require additional work by the contractor. I concur and request that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. O n m o t i o n of M r s .
