ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES CAMPUS

(6) On June 25, 1949, the Board of Trustees authorized the acquisition of certain properties in Chicago needed for the expansion of the Chicago Professional Colleges campus. It was also recommended at that meeting that the VicePresident in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges be authorized to negotiate with the Medical Center Commission to acquire land for subsequent transfer to the University. The Commission has purchased for the University three properties not included in the acquisitions previously authorized by the Board. They are properties which the University needs: Location Cost to Commission 1825 West Taylor Street $ 780 49 This property is needed to provide access to electrical services for the betatron at the College of Medicine. 1720 West Taylor Street 757 °3 1722-24 West Taylor Street 1 5'3 7° The properties at 1720-24 West Taylor Street were needed as a construction yard by the contractor for the Medical Center Steam Plant. Since the completion of the Plant the construction building has been used for storage by the University. These properties have been transferred to the University, and the Medical Center Commission has been reimbursed from the state appropriation made for land for the biennium of 1949-1951. At the time of this transaction the Board had not explicitly authorized by record vote, as required by the By-Laws, the acquisition of these properties. The Comptroller, therefore, requests confirmation of this transaction. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Fornof, this transaction was confirmed by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Grange, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mrs. Watkins; no, none; absent, Mr. Megran, Mr. Stevenson.
