WAGE RATES TO BE SPECIFIED IN CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS AT ROBERT ALLERTON PARK (29) Officers of the Twin City Federation of Labor of Champaign-Urbana have requested that the Board of Trustees reconsider its action of September 29, 1950, on the report of the Fact-Finding Committee on wage rates to be paid for construction work at Robert Allerton Park. The Board voted t o proceed according to the finding of the Committee that "the rates paid for work in the building trades and crafts in Piatt County, Illinois are subject to so much variation that it is not possible to establish single rates as prevailing." Officers of the Twin City Federation of Labor already have had preliminary conferences with members of the Board of Trustees and other University officials. I recommend that the Board refer this matter to its Committee on Civil Service and Employees for further consideration in consultation with the Fact-Finding Committee. On motion of Mr. Hickman, this matter was referred to the Committee on Civil Service and Employees, with Mr. Herrick added to the Committee for this special item of business. ORDERS FOR CHANGES IN SECURITIES (30) Under the rules of the Board, orders to the First National Bank of Chicago for changes in securities as authorized by the Board or the Finance Committee are to be signed by the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board.
