Restoration T h e University agrees to restore the Pier to the condition it was in when the Navy took possession. T h e University agrees to deposit in escrow with the First National Bank of Chicago $100,000.00 on the signing of the lease and an additional $100,000.00 on or before August 1, 1947, to guarantee restoration. O n m o t i o n of D r . M e y e r , t h e t e r m s of t h i s l e a s e w e r e u n a n i m o u s l y approved. PURCHASE OF ILLINOIS TERMINAL RIGHT-OF-WAY (30) F o r a number of years the Illinois Terminal Railway Company has had a spur track extending through the business and residential part of Urbana to the University service area on North Mathews and North Goodwin Avenues, Urbana. Formerly the right-of-way extended to a section between Wright Street and Sixth Street in Champaign. When that was abandoned a few years ago, the University acquired the portion within its campus. T h e owners of this right-of-way have asked whether the University wishes to acquire the right-of-way. The Physical Plant Department and representatives of the University Planning Committee agree on the desirability of owning this right-of-way which lies between two parts of Universit3< property. The property is needed for the service area of this locality. The recommendation is concurred in by the Purchasing Agent and the Comptroller. If the University does not acquire this property, undoubtedly it will promptly fall into other hands, which would be a distinct disadvantage to us. I recommend that the officers of the University be authorized to negotiate for the purchase of this property and that an appropriation of $2,500, or as much thereof as may be found to be required, be made for this purchase. O n m o t i o n of M r . W i l l i a m s o n , t h i s p u r c h a s e w a s a u t h o r i z e d a n d the appropriation w a s made, by the following v o t e : A y e , M r .
