APPROPRIATION FOR REMODELING OF NATURAL HISTORY BUILDING

(8) The Board of Trustees has authorized the construction of a new stair well in the Natural History Building to eliminate one of the fire hazards in that building, and a contract for this has been let. Construction of a new stair well deprives the Department of Physiology of some laboratory space which is essential for graduate study. However, space elsewhere in this building can be converted into satisfactory laboratory facilities at an estimated cost of $4,000 for the remodeling and $2,500 for the equipment. I recommend that an appropriation of $6,500 be made from the General Reserve Fund for this purpose. O n motion of M r . Livingston, this appropriation was made by the following vote: Aye, M r . Fornof, M r . Herrick, Mr. Hickman, M r s . Holt, M r . Livingston, D r . Meyer, M r s . W a t k i n s , M r . Williamson; no, n o n e ; absent, Mr. McLaughlin, M r . Nickell, Mr. Stevenson; and a change in the contract with C. A . P e t r y and Sons, Champaign, for the construction of the new stair well was authorized to include remodeling required to provide laboratory facilities for the D e p a r t m e n t of Physiology.
