CONTRACT FOR REPAIR OF CHIMNEY IN DENTISTRYMEDICINE-PHARMACY BUILDING On recommendation of the President of the University, the Executive Committee has authorized the award of a contract to the C. O. Henriksen Company, 2300 South Avers Avenue, Chicago, the lowest bidder, for repairing the incinerator chimney in the first unit of the Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building. Because of the nature of the work, it was not feasible to secure fixed price bids, and this contract is on a cost plus percentage fee basis, but not to exceed a maximum of $4,500 for the job.
