2io BOARD OF TRUSTEES [January 24 CONTRACT FOR REMODELING IN DENTISTRYMEDICINE-PHARMACY BUILDING (14) T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend the award of a contract for $29,945 to Mueller Construction Company, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for the enclosure and protection of stairways in the first unit of the Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building at 1853 West Polk Street. T h e work will consist of installation of partitions enclosing the stairwells to comply as nearly as possible with recommendations of the Chicago Fire Department and to comply with the Chicago City Building Code, and is part of the general remodeling program related to the activation of the Research and Educational Hospitals Addition and the East Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building. Funds are available in a special appropriation made by the Board of Trustees on May 15, 1954, for this remodeling program. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. O n m o t i o n of M r s .

APPROPRIATION AND CONTRACT FOR CONVERSION OF ELEVATORS IN ILLINOIS NEUROPSYCH1ATRIC INSTITUTE (15) T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend the award of a contract for $32,764 to Haughton Elevator Company, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for converting the elevators in the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute from manual to automatic operation. The work will consist of rewiring controls and operating machinery to change from the manual type to the twocar duplex selective collective type of operation. This will reduce the need for operators during hours of light traffic and the cost of the conversion will be paid for in a period of from one to two years by savings in labor costs. T h e Committee on Nonrecurring Appropriations recommends an assignment of $38,000 for this improvement which will include other costs, such as engineering work and other Physical Plant Department services, in addition to the above contract. I concur in these recommendations and request that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. O n m o t i o n of M r s .
