AWARD OF CONTRACTS FOR REMODELING 1 0 0 7 SOUTH WRIGHT STREET, CHAMPAIGN (25) The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees on July 1, 1948, approved a special appropriation of $27,300 for remodeling the two houses at 1007 South Wright Street, Champaign, for office quarters for the College of Education. Due to the urgency of the project, the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend that the remodeling work be done by the contractors with whom the University had standing contracts for minor building remodeling during 1947-1948. It is also recommended that the work be done on the basis of cost plus the same percentage of cost as was allowed under the standing contracts.
