1494 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 26 The Illinois Commerce Commission has entered an order granting the Northern Illinois Water Corporation approximately one-fourth of the rate increases requested. The Corporation has filed a petition for a rehearing with the Commission. The University has joined with the cities in also asking for a rehearing. This may require additional legal services. I recommend authorization of (a) payment of the University's share of the professional fees to date, $4,375, and (b) payments, on the basis of 30 per cent of the total, of additional costs resulting from future hearings. Funds are available in the Physical Plant Department budget for this purpose. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, these payments were authorized. REQUEST FOR AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE CONTRACTS FOR DIVISION O F SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN SPEECH CLINICS (14) The Division of Services for Crippled Children proposes to conduct summer speech clinics at the University of Illinois, Augustana College at Rock Island, the State Teachers Colleges at Normal and DeKalb, and Rockford College at Rockford, Illinois. Contracts will be negotiated with the institutions for speech therapy and housing and feeding the children attending the clinics. In each case, rates are based upon the usual charges of the College for similar services to students but will include additional expenses incurred for special services required by the children. All payments under these contracts are from funds appropriated by the General Assembly to the Division of Services for Crippled Children. I recommend that on recommendation of the Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children, the Comptroller be authorized to execute agreements with the various institutions, all such agreements to be reported by the Comptroller to the Board of Trustees. On motion of Mr. Nickell, these contracts were authorized. PURCHASES (15) The Director of Purchases has proposed and the Comptroller recommends the following purchases. Unless otherwise specified, the purchase in each case is recommended on the basis of lowest bid. I concur.
