B-H Electric Company, Chicago 6 497 For alterations in electrical supply lines to the Research Laboratory and Library Unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building. The work will include installation of new three-phase, four-wire service feeder line of sufficient capacity to service general light and power loads; installation of new service and distribution panel; replacement of existing three-wire riser with four-wire riser; and replacement of six panels with three-phase four-wire circuit breaker type panels. These alterations are necessary to eliminate the existing overload. Both companies are the low bidders on these installations. I recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute these contracts when funds have been released by the Governor from the State appropriation for "Construction of Utility Distribution System and Remodeling of Existing Buildings" ("Permanent Improvements at Chicago"). On motion of Mrs. Watkins, authority was given as recommended.
