Street. The University, having subsequently acquired a property at 202 South Goodwin Avenue (around the corner), finds it is now possible to provide an entrance to the parking lot from Goodwin Avenue as well as Green Street. Because of the heavy traffic on Green Street, it is desirable to have this second entrance and exit. The Champaign Asphalt Company, which has the contract for the surfacing of this parking lot, has submitted a bid of $2,702.20 for the additional work required to provide access from Goodwin Avenue. This allows a credit for the elimination of one of the two entrances from Green Street. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend this addition to the contract. Funds are available in the appropriation for parking lot facilities made by the Board. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this contract change.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, authority was given as recommended.

ADDITION TO ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACT FOR ANIMAL SCIENCES LABORATORY

(14) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an increase of $3,92442 in the contract with Naess and Murphy for architectural services on the Animal Sciences Laboratory. This is to provide for additional architectural services to supplement those covered by the original fee. Payment for additional services will be based upon the cost of direct labor (salaries and wages of draftsmen) plus 100 per cent overhead plus any direct expenses. Funds are available in the state appropriation for the construction of this building. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this contract change.

On motion of Mrs. Watkins, authority was given as recommended.

EXTENSION OF SOUTH BROADWAY SANITARY SEWER INTERCEPTOR

(15) On July 25, 1950 (Minutes, page 27), the Board of Trustees made an appropriation of $2,000 to pay the University's share of the cost of the extension of the sanitary sewer in the area of South Broadway. The city of Urbana now proposes a further extension of the sanitary sewer from Florida Avenue south on Race Street to the center line of Mumford Drive in the University Downs Addition. The University's share of the cost of this further extension is $2,500. By the expansion of this sewer the University will be protected in any future development in the area south of Florida Avenue and west of Race Street. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an appropriation of $2,500 to pay the University's share of this cost. I recommend that 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 the University's participation in the improvement.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, this recommendation was approved, and an appropriation of $2,500 was made from the General Reserve Fund by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Livingston, Mr. McLaughlin, Mr. Nickell, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Hickman, Doctor Meyer, Mr. Stevenson.

ANNEXATION OF UNIVERSITY PROPERTY TO CITY OF URBANA

(16) Officials of the city of Urbana desire to extend the city limits to a south line represented by the east and west road running through the University Farms south of the old University golf course. This would mean inclusion of all University property north of that road and east of a line represented by the extension of Wright Street south (Wright Street is closed by campus development and Mount Hope Cemetery between Armory Avenue and Florida Avenue). The new south line would intersect this extension of Wright Street at a point near the
