The total cost of this improvement is estimated at $19,000, but the remainder of the work in addition to this contract for electrical work will be done by Physical Plant Department labor. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Construction of extensions to the Utility Distribution Systems" at Urbana. 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. McLaughlin, authority was given, as recommended.

This remodeling is needed by the Department of Bacteriology in connection with its research work in viruses. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Permanent Improvements at Chicago — Construction of Utility Distribution System 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 Dr. Meyer, authority was given, as recommended. CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF SIDEWALKS AND CURBS AT THE CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (16) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $2,219 to the T. A. Rehnquist Company, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for the replacement of sidewalks and curbing at the northwest corner of Poik and Hermitage Streets in Chicago. The sidewalks and curbs at this corner have deteriorated to such an extent that they are a hazard to pedestrians. Funds are available in the Physical Plant Department budget for this repairing. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. On motion of Mrs. Holt, authority was given, as recommended. ADDITION TO PLUMBING CONTRACT FOR ANIMAL SCIENCES LABORATORY (17) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an increase of $3,934.46 in the contract with Bellis and Miller, Champaign, for plumbing work in the construction of the Animal Sciences Laboratory to provide for the installation of a water main from Gregory Drive to the new building. The provision of water service from the mains to the building was not included in the base contract because the engineering work on this installation had not been completed at the time contracts were awarded. The architects have approved the contractor's estimate of the cost of this installation. Funds are available in the state appropriation for construction of this building. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. On motion of Mr. McLaughlin, authority was given, as recommended.
