APPROPRIATION FOR PURCHASE OF PROPERTY (10) On December 17, 1951, the Board of Trustees approved the purchase of properties at 1103 West Green Street and 1108 West Illinois Street, Urbana (contiguous properties east of the Student and Staff Apartments) at a cost of $72,875. A payment of $20,000 was made upon execution of the contract (from funds received by the University of Illinois Foundation from sale of prefabricated houses and held by the Foundation for the University) and the balance of $52,875 is payable on or before June 30, 1953, with interest at four per cent from the date of possession. The Comptroller recommends that payment of the balance be made as soon as possible in order to reduce interest costs. I concur and recommend an appropriation of $54,500 from the General Reserve fund for final principal and interest payments on this property.
