EASEMENT TO ILLINOIS POWER COMPANY ACROSS ILLINOIS FIELD (12) T h e Illinois Power Company has requested an easement across Illinois Field to complete routing of a high pressure gas line needed to boost gas pressures to give more dependable service including delivery to new residential areas in east and southeast Urbana. This will also improve service to the University if it develops future construction in this area. The Company will restore the land to its original condition and will agree to relocate the line if relocation becomes necessary because of University construction on Illinois Field. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that this easement be granted. I concur and recommend adoption of the following resolution: Be It Resolved by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, a public corporation of the state of Illinois, that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board of Trustees be, and they hereby are, authorized to execute, acknowledge, and deliver in the name of and in behalf of this corporation, such instrument of conveyance, contract, or other document or documents, as to them may seem necessary or desirable, in order to effectuate a conveyance to Illinois Power Company of a right of easement for so long as used for these purposes to install and maintain a ten inch gas distribution main across Illinois Field, to connect with a main along the south parkway of Main Street in Urbana, and with a main along the south parkway of White Street in Champaign, the exact alignment and depth of said main as it crosses Illinois Field to be within the discretion of the University's Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds and said public corporation reserving the right to require said Illinois Power Company to relocate said main if it ever interferes with University construction or development work on said premises.

On motion of Mr. Livingston, the foregoing resolution was amended to include the following: "provided, however, that Illinois Power Company agrees to furnish the University with a connection to said gas distribution main, at Illinois Power Company's expense, at any time the University desires and requests said connection." and the resolution, as thus amended, was adopted.
