S O U T H BROADWAY SANITARY SEWER INTERCEPTOR

(19) The city of Urbana proposes to expand the sewer in the area of South Broadway and has requested the participation of the University in line with the existing policy of participation when the University receives benefit. The estimated cost to the University for this expansion will not exceed $2,000. By the expansion of this sewer, the University would be protected in any future development in the area south of Florida Avenue and west of Race Street. This request is reasonable and the Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an appropriation of $2,000 to pay the University's share of the total cost. I recommend this appropriation be made, and that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to enter into an agreement with the city of Urbana covering University participation in the improvement.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, authority was given as recommended, and an appropriation of $2,000 was made from the General Reserve Fund by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Hickman, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Dr. Meyer, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Stevenson.

A D D I T I O N TO CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES

(20) On February 16, 1950 (Minutes, page 999), the Board of Trustees awarded a contract to Graham, Anderson, Probst, and White, Inc., Chicago, for engineering services on improvements in the electrical distribution system to several buildings at Urbana. Davenport Hall was included in the group of buildings in this contract. Additional work on this building, not originally contemplated when the contract was let, is necessary due to the placement of the Radiocarbon Laboratory in this building. The additional services required are on the working drawings and specifications for the installation of 150 h.p. of refrigeration motor load. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an increase of $1,500 in this contract to provide for these additional services. Funds are available. I concur and request that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. O n motion of D r . Meyer, authority was given as recommended.

A D D I T I O N TO HEATING CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION IN EAST CHEMISTRY BUILDING

(21) The heating system of the East Chemistry Building was installed in four zones to permit better control. It has been found desirable to subdivide one of these zones so that the animal quarters for the Bio-Chemistry Division will be on an independent distribution system because heat must be supplied throughout the year. The present installation would require maintaining steam in one-fourth of the building to provide heat for the animal rooms. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an addition of $5,808.53 to the contract with the Carson-Payson Company, Danville, for the heating installations in this building to provide for this additional improvement which will consist of a separate steam line and return to the convectors in the animal quarters from steam mains in the basement. Funds are available
