QUARTERLY REPORT OF T H E COMPTROLLER (16) The Comptroller presents his quarterly report to the Board of Trustees as of September 30, 1955.

This report was received for record and a copy has been filed with the Secretary of the Board.

CONTRACTS FOR ALTGELD HALL ADDITION (17) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of the following contracts for the construction of the Altgeld Hall addition: General — C. A. Petry & Sons, Champaign On the basis of lowest bid of $241 000 Less two alternates for omission of work to reduce the cost and keep the total within available funds: Changing method of laying up Haydite block partitions and wall facings from a "stacked" bond to a "running" bond 3 200 Omitting all painting of Haydite block or concrete surfaces , 5 200 $232 600 Electrical — Potter Electric Service, Urbana 15 862 Plumbing — Bellis & Miller, Inc., Champaign 14 958 Heating and ventilating— Schroeder & Sons, Champaign 76 895 All the above awards are to the lowest bidders, and the bids are based on construction that will permit future installation of air conditioning. Alternate bids taken indicate an additional cost of $29,943 if air conditioning is included in the construction, but acceptance of these alternates is not recommended since provision for air conditioning was not included in the estimates on which the appropriation request was based, and funds are therefore not available for this phase of the work. The Board has previously authorized awards of contracts totaling $98,532 for relocating utilities now in the ground under the addition site and reconstructing the utility centers within the present building and incidental internal construction revisions necessary to serve the addition. The total budget for this project is $494,064.62 and the sources of funds are: From state appropriations for 1955-57: "For remodeling of an addition to Altgeld Hall, including plans and specifications, extension of utilities to the building, and all other necessary costs and charges incident to the completion of the work" .$368 000 00 "For contingencies to cover expenditures for purposes for which the amount in any of the above items is insufficient" 120 000 00 "For equipment at Urbana-Champaign and at Chicago" 2 000 00 University funds assigned for Architectural Studies for Future Buildings 4 064 62 I concur in the above recommendations and request that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute these contracts subject to release of funds by the Governor.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, these contracts were awarded as recommended and the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the same.
