1953] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS "39 I concur and recommend that the Acting Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this contract was awarded and the Acting Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to execute the same. CHANGE IN CONTRACT FOR EAST DENTISTRY-MEDICINEPHARMACY BUILDING (12) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Acting Comptroller recommend an increase of $2,818.60 in the contract with E. H . Sheldon Equipment Company for laboratory equipment in the East Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building now under construction. The state appropriation for this building was less than originally requested, and hence a change in over-all planning was necessary. It has now been determined that by extending steam service to the chemistry laboratory tables in certain laboratories on the fourth and fifth floors, more efficient use of laboratory space can be achieved. This change of the contract provides for addition of certain accessories, such as steam cocks, to three hundred desks in three laboratories. Funds are available in the appropriation for the construction of this building. I concur and recommend that the Acting Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in contract. On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this increase in the contract was authorized.
