On motion of Mrs. Holt, these quitclaim deeds were authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton.

CONTRACT FOR REPLACEMENT OF ARMORY ROOF (27) The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend award of a contract for $213,800 to the Limbach Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the lowest bidder, for replacement of the roof on the University Armory. The base bid is $204,770; it is recommended that the University accept an additive alternate of $12,320 for replacement of the skylight and a deductive alternate of $3,200 for covering false bands on the trusses with aluminum. Funds are available in the state capital appropriations to the University for 1057-50, subject to release by the Governor. I concur.

On motion of Mr. Swain, this contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton.

ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR HEATING IN ADDITION TO LINCOLN AVENUE RESIDENCE (28) The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend an increase of $68,888 in the contract with the Ideal Heating Company, Chicago, for the installation of the heating system in Allen Hall (the addition to the Lincoln Avenue Residence) to correct a deficiency. Naess and Murphy, architects for the building, did not include sufficient radiation in the plans and specifications for the heating system. It is obvious that if the heating installation had been designed to provide adequate radiation this would have required additional material and labor which would have been reflected in the original contract price. The determination of how much this would have affected the original contract price and the extent of the architects' responsibility for the additional cost required to correct the deficiency has not been completed, but a report will be made to the Board later. I concur in the recommendation for the increase in the contract. Funds are available in the proceeds of the bond issue to finance the construction of this building and a part of the cost will be paid by Naess and Murphy.

On motion of Mrs. Holt, this increase in the contract was authorized by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mr. Stratton.
