STEAM SERVICE TO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (19) The Sixty-Fifth and Sixty-Sixth General Assemblies of Illinois appropriated funds to the Department of Public Health for the construction of a Tuberculosis Hospital in Cook County. This appropriation act includes a provision "that if arrangements are made for the construction of a central heating plant, to serve the said hospital building and other buildings in the Medical Center at a saving in heating costs to the State, the sum of $280,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, of the said sum of $4,850,000, may be deducted from the construction cost of said hospital and used as part of the cost of constructing the said central heating plant." The central heating plant to be constructed by the Medical Center Steam Company qualifies under .this provision for the allotment of $280,000. Since the University has contracted to take the entire output of the Medical Center Steam Company and has the right to furnish steam to other institutions, the Department of Public Health applied the $280,000 of its appropriation toward the cost of the construction of the Medical Center Steam Company plant. The Medical Center Steam Company acknowledged receipt of the $280,000 by executing a note for $280,000, payable to the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. This is a non-interest bearing note, maturing on December 31, 1981, but payable at the option of the Medical Center Steam Company in whole or in part at any time prior to date of maturity. Steam will be furnished to the Tuberculosis Hospital at a rate based on cost of production. This is submitted for record.

This report was received for record.
