APPROPRIATION FOR ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES ON CONSTRUCTION A N D REMODELING AT URBANA-CHAMPAIGN (11) The University has been studying the possibility of securing additional space and improving existing space by (a) the construction of an addition to Talbot Laboratory and (b) remodeling of the engine room in the former power plant building on Mathews Avenue for the Physical Environment Laboratory. The Committee on Nonrecurring Appropriations approved the programs in principle and requested the Physical Plant to prepare detailed plans and specifications. The cost of these plans, approximately $6,000 for the Physical Environment Laboratory and $5,600 for the addition to Talbot Laboratory, was charged to the architectural revolving fund in the customary procedure with the expectation that the expenditures would be recovered when the appropriation was approved. Upon the completion of the plans, bids were secured for the addition to Talbot Laboratory and revised estimates of cost prepared for the Physical Environment Laboratory. The funds available in this biennium are not adequate to carry out either project this biennium and further work on both projects must be deferred. The Comptroller and the Provost recommend an appropriation of $11,600 from the General Reserve Fund to reimburse the revolving fund for expenditures incurred. I concur. On motion of Mr. Fornof, this appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Megran, Mr. Nickell, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Grange, Mr. Stevenson.

Bids now received indicate a total cost of $44,500. The additional $6,000 necessary to complete the project can be taken from the state appropriation "For remodeling, modernization, and improvement of existing buildings at Urbana-Champaign." _ The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend that this assignment be made, and that contracts be awarded to the lowest bidders, subject to the release of funds by the Governor and to receipt of authority to begin construction -with the necessary priorities from the National Production Authority, as follows:
