1951 ] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 667 them with the existing drainage systems, laying of a four-inch stone subbase covered with a two-inch asphalt surface, and installation of playground equipment for $3,160. This estimate has been checked by the Physical Plant Department and is considered a fair price. Adding this relatively small playground project to the present contract with the Champaign Asphalt Company will save the cost of preparing drawings and specifications. Funds are available in the construction account of the Student and Staff Apartment Buildings for this contract addition. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. On motion of Mr. Grange, authority was given as recommended. CONTRACT FOR ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS IN STOCK PAVILION (36) Bids have been taken on an abattoir addition to the Stock Pavilion including reconstruction and improvements of the electrical service and installation of large transformers. The bids received indicate that the cost of the abattoir addition would exceed available funds and the project must be reconsidered. However, the work on the improvements in the electrical service can proceed regardless of when the abattoir addition is constructed. The following bids on this phase of the work have been received: Brunkow Electric Company, Champaign $16 500 Anderson Electric, Inc., Danville 20 487 Potter Electric Service, Urbana 20 285 The Brunkow Electric Company has indicated that if the abattoir addition is not included in the contract its bid can be reduced to $14,250. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract on this basis to the Brunkow Electric Company for construction and improvements of the electrical service in the Stock Pavilion, including installation of transformers. Funds are available in the state appropriation for "Construction of extensions to the Utility Distribution Systems." I concur. On motion of Mr. Nickell, this contract was authorized as recommended. CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CORN CRIB ON WRIGHT FARMS (37) The Dean of the College of Agriculture and the Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $11,300 to L. B. Hanna, Princeton, Illinois, the lowest bidder, for the construction of a corn crib on Wright Farm No. 4 in DeKalb County. Funds are available from accumulated income of the Wright Farms reserved for building improvements. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. On motion of Mr. Johnston, this contract was authorized as recommended. APPROPRIATION TO DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL SCIENCE (38) The Dean of the College of Agriculture and the Comptroller recommend an appropriation of $1,700 from accumulated receipts of the Department of Animal Science for the replacement of a pickup truck purchased in 1941 on which further repair work is no longer economical. Funds are available in surplus receipts of the department reserved for its use. I concur. O n motion of M r . Grange, this appropriation was made as recommended, by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Fornof, Mr. Grange, M r . Herrick, M r . Hickman, M r s . Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Megran, M r .
