i6 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 26 CONTRACT FOR REMODELING IN DENTISTRY-MEDICINE-PHARMACY BUILDING TO IMPROVE QUARTERS FOR COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY DEPARTMENTS (26) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $30,038 to Russell Mansfield, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for remodeling quarters in the Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building at the Chicago Professional Colleges. The work will consist of rearrangement of partitions, improvements in lighting and ventilating, and installation of new laboratory equipment to modernize the Departments of Radiology and Crowns and Fixed Partial Dentures in the College of Dentistry. This is part of the remodeling program related to the activation of the Research and Educational Hospitals Addition and the construction of the East Dentistry-MedicinePharmacy Building. Funds are available in the 1951 Revenue Bonds Construction account. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this contract was awarded and the Comptroller and the Secretary were authorized to execute the same. CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF MASTER TELEVISION ANTENNA AT CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (27) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $2,902 to R. Cooper, Jr., Inc., Chicago, the lowest bidder, for the erection of a master television antenna at the Chicago Professional Colleges. The work will consist of furnishing and installing a complete master television antenna system for the distribution of television carrier signals to outlets in various areas of the hospitals. This is necessary because the new East DentistryMedicine-Pharmacy Building and the Hospital Addition greatly interfere with television reception on ordinary type aerials. Funds are available in a special appropriation made by the Board of Trustees on February 18, 1954, for remodeling. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this contract was awarded and the Comptroller and the Secretary were authorized to execute the same.
