AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF URBANA FOR MAINTENANCE OF LINCOLN AVENUE STORM SEWER (9) On April 19, 1951, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of engineers for the services and designing of a storm sewer along the road north and immediately in front of the Floriculture and Vegetable Greenhouses to connect with the Lincoln Avenue storm sewer in Urbana. These plans will provide for the ultimate draining of the area in the immediate vicinity of the greenhouses and a larger area extending west as far as the site of the proposed new residence hall for men on Fourth Street. While the actual construction of this drainage system is scheduled for the future, it is desirable that the University come to an understanding with the city of Urbana as to the cost to be assumed by the University when the improvement is made and the connection completed with the Lincoln Avenue storm sewer. With this improvement, the University will be using approximately 71 per cent of the sewer capacity of the Lincoln Avenue storm sewer. It is proposed that the University pay 71 per cent of the cost of the maintenance of this storm drain beginning when die University starts to use the outlet and continuing as long as the sewer shall be used by the University. The area to be drained is described as follows: Commencing at the center line of Fourth Street at a point West of the North line of Roselawn Cemetery, thence North to the South line of Gregory Drive, thence East to Wright Street extended, thence North to the North line of Gregory Drive, thence East to a point two hundred fifty feet (250') West of the center line of Mathews Avenue, thence North to the East-West center line of Sec. 18, T. 19N., R. 9E. of the 3rd P.M., thence East to the West line of Goodwin Avenue, thence North along the West line of Goodwin Avenue to the center line of Nevada Street, thence East along the center line of Nevada Street to Lincoln Avenue, thence South along the center line of Lincoln Avenue to the center line of Florida Avenue, thence West along the center line of Florida Avenue to the East line of Mount Hope Cemetery, thence North along the East line of Mount Hope Cemetery to the North boundary of said cemetery, thence West along the North boundaries of Mount Hope Cemetery and Roselawn Cemetery to the point of beginning. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend that this agreement with the city of Urbana be executed. I concur.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, this agreement was authorized.
