LEASE FOR THE CHICAGO OFFICES OF THE DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN (44) The Chicago offices of the Division of Services for Crippled Children are in the Franklin-Adams Building at 222 West Adanis Street, Chicago. An annual rental of approximately $3.00 per square foot for 4,000 square feet of space occupied is paid from state appropriations made to the Division. More space is needed. A proposal has been made by the State Department of Finance that the Division move into the State of Illinois Building (formerly the Burnham Building), 160 North LaSalle Street, recently purchased by the state of Illinois to provide offices for various state agencies. The Department of Finance _ operates the building on a revolving account basis, all state agencies housed in the building paying rent which is used to operate and maintain the building. It is proposed that the University lease 4,600 square feet of space in this building at a rental of $12,800 per year or approximately $2.70 per square foot. The space in the State of Illinois Building is much more adaptable to the needs of the Division of Services for Crippled Children and there is also the advantage of being closer to other state agencies with which the Division deals. The Comptroller recommends that such a lease be approved. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this lease for the period from August 1, 1951, through June 30, 1953.
