1948] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 93 charged to funds available in the maintenance budget of the Temporary Housing Project, so that no special appropriation is needed. I concur and request that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute such contract. On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given as requested. AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR REMODELING 7 0 4 SOUTH SIXTH STREET, CHAMPAIGN (39) The Board of Trustees at its meeting on July 22 (Minutes, page 4 ) , authorized the leasing of property at 704 South Sixth Street, Champaign, and appropriated the sum of $25,000 for remodeling this area into space suitable for offices of the Institute of Labor and Industrial Relations. Since the work is of a remodeling character and it is difficult to secure reasonable fixed bids and because of the time required in preparing detailed specifications and securing bids, the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Comptroller recommend that the general work be done under the terms of the contract for minor repairs and alterations on a cost plus basis as awarded by the Board of Trustees at their meeting on July 22, to Lewis S. Colbert, Champaign. The cost of this work is estimated to be $9,000. I concur and request authority for the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board to execute an addition to the general contract to provide for the remodeling of this area. The Comptroller presented this matter. On motion of Dr. Meyer, this contract was authorized as recommended.
