REASSIGNMENT OF RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL HOSPITALS FUNDS (9) The budget for 1952-1953 includes $4,114,837 for the operation of the Research and Educational Hospitals. This is an increase of $1,209,466 over the corresponding allowance for 1951-1952 to provide in part for the operation of the new addition to the hospitals. Because of delays in construction, the additional facilities can not be used earlier than March I, 1953, so that a substantial portion of the funds in the current year's budget for operation of the hospitals will not be required for that purpose. A study has been made of the needs of the Chicago Professional Colleges for which available funds can be appropriately and effectively applied during the current biennium. The following have been selected from a much longer list: Payment on Medical Center Steam Plant $400 000 Dental equipment 100 000 Machine shed for Drug Plant 20 000 Steam service to 824 South Wolcott (apartment building leased to tenants) 6 000 Parking lot construction and lighting at 834 South Wolcott 14 000 New back porch, 816 South Ashland (residence property leased to students) 1 500 Steam service to 829-33 South Marshfield (apartment building) 6 500 Furnishings, 829-33 South Marshfield (leased to tenants) 17 500 Remodeling, 829-33 South Marshfield (for conversion into a residence for nurses) 20 000 Parking area and lighting, Marshfield Avenue properties 35 000 Housing Facilities Revenue Bonds 175 000 Chicago Illini LInion Revenue Bonds 43 000 Total $838 500 The Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges requests the budget be amended by reassignment of funds for purposes listed above. The Provost and the Comptroller endorse this recommendation. I recommend that these reassignments be made with authorization to adjust the various items within the total of $838,500.
