I950] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 369 2. Reimbursement to the Illinois Power Company for their labor, material, and equipment rental and protection. 3. Payment to the Illinois Power Company of 15 per cent on the total of the above costs to cover their engineering, layout, superintendence, and other services. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Additions to Power and Heating Plant and remodeling of existing buildings." I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract, subject to the release of funds by the Governor. On motion of Mr. Fornof, authority was given, as recommended. CONTRACT FOR DIRECT CURRENT ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT (12) Direct current electric service required for research work is supplied by an obsolete motor generator located in the old engine room of the Physical Plant Service Building and loaned to the Physical Plant Department by the Department of Mechanical Engineering many years ago. Because of its own increased requirements for direct current service, the Department wishes to recall the motor generator. Even though it is obsolete and manually controlled, it has sufficient capacity to supply the intermittent demands for D.C. electric service of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is, therefore, necessary to purchase and install one large motor generator set with automatic controls to supply the increasing demand for D.C. electric service in other departments. Estimated cost of this project is $25,000. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Additions to Power and Heating Plant and remodeling of existing buildings." T h e Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of contracts as follows: Motor generator set — Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Co., Chicago.. .$8 095 26 Synchronous motor control cabinet — Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Chicago 4 511 00 Air-fused interrupter switch — Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Chicago 1 141 00 These bids are subject to a maximum escalation of 10 per cent or a maximum total of $6,217.20.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given, as recommended.
