I948] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS Io6l Subsequent to the February 21 meeting, it was found that the cost will exceed the original estimate. This is due t o : (1) the Allis-Chalmers Company, the manufacturer, will require escalation protection of 20 per cent in the event of an increased cost over the present estimate; and ( 2 ) the cost of installation, which requires the building of a structure to house the equipment, will exceed the previous estimate. Exact bids for construction have not yet been secured, so that it is still impossible to determine the ultimate cost. However, we may lose the betatron unless a contract is let soon. The matter has been reviewed by the Committee, which now recommends a further appropriation of $65,000, making a maximum total of $175,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary. Any excess over final costs will lapse. The increase in electric current will cost about $2,000 a year, which must be provided for in the budget of the Physical Plant Department beginning with 1948-1949I recommend the additional appropriation of $65,000 and authorization of the purchase of one 100 Roentgen Unit Betatron X-Ray machine (as per specifications No. 42172) from the Allis-Chalmers Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at a base price of $85,000 plus allowance for any increase in cost of manufacture between the date ordered and the time of delivery, the maximum price not to exceed $102,000, f.o.b. Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On motion of Mr. Williamson, this purchase was authorized and the appropriation made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Mr. McKelvey, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Davis, Mr. Green, Dr. Luken, Dr. Meyer, Mr. Nickell.
