CONTRACT FOR ADDITION TO ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AT CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (10) At its meeting on July 25, 1950 (Minutes, page 24), the Board of Trustees approved a "multiple service and combined billing" plan through an agreement with the Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago for the extension of the electrical distribution system at the Chicago Professional Colleges. This requires an immediate capital expenditure of $31,705 for existing buildings. In approving this plan it was understood that further capital payments would be made for excess facilities for new buildings. The cost of extending the electrical distribution system to the Research and Educational Hospitals addition now under construction is $21,849. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Construction of addition to present hospital" and have already been released. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend that a contract be entered into with the Commonwealth Edison Company to provide for these facilities. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute such a contract. On motion of Mr. Nickell, authority was given as recommended.
