592 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [March 25 Funds are available in an appropriation made by the Board of Trustees for remodeling in the Animal Hospital. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute this contract. O n m o t i o n of M r . G r a n g e , t h i s r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d a n d t h e C o m p t r o l l e r a n d t h e S e c r e t a r y of t h e B o a r d w e r e a u t h o r i z e d t o execute the contract. ADDITION TO CONTRACT FOR REFRIGERATION INSTALLATION IN HORTICULTURE FIELD LABORATORY (15) The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend an increase of $2,777 i n the contract with Westerlin and Campbell Company, Peoria, for the refrigeration installation in the Horticulture Field Laboratory to include an exhaust fan ventilating system. This item was an alternate in the original bids but was not included in the contract because it was desirable to reserve funds for contingencies. The work has now progressed to the point where it is known that the full amount set aside for contingencies will not be needed. The inclusion of the ventilating system is desirable to protect storage products from damage due to accidental leakage of ammonia gas. I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to execute this change in the contract. On motion of Mrs. Holt, the Comptroller was authorized to execute this change in the contract. EXCHANGE OF LAND FOR ALLEY ON SITE OF BUILDING FOR THE CHICAGO PROFESSIONAL COLLEGES (16) The City Council of Chicago has before it an ordinance vacating an alley running north and south through the site of the Staff Apartment Building, the passage of which will give the University title to the land now designated as an alley. A resolution by the Board of Trustees is needed dedicating a strip of land to the city of Chicago to provide an outlet to replace the vacated alley. The alley to be vacated is approximately 5,300 square feet in area while the land to be dedicated by the University is approximately 1,600 square feet in area. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the necessary resolution dedicating the land for an outlet to replace the alley. The Director of the Physical Plant and the Comptroller also recommend that the University grant easements to the Illinois Bell Telephone Company and the Commonwealth Edison Company for the overhead utility lines now in the alley to be vacated since this land will become University property. I concur and recommend the adoption of the following resolution: It Is Hereby Resolved by the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois that the Comptroller and the Secretary of this Board be, and they are hereby, authorized, empowered, and directed, in the name of and on behalf of this Board, to execute and deliver to the city of Chicago a plat of dedication to said city of Chicago, for use as a public alley, of the following described strip of land, to wit: The South Sixteen (16) Feet of Lot Thirteen (13) in Sturges and others Re-Subdivision of Block Nine (9) in the Assessor's Division of the East Half ( E ^ ) of the Southeast Quarter (SE}4) of Section Eighteen (18), Township Thirty-nine (39) North, Range Fourteen (14) East, of the Third Principal Meridian, situated in the City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois legal title to which is now vested in said the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois. I also recommend that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board be authorized to execute the documents necessary to grant to the Illinois Bell Telephone Company and the Commonwealth Edison Company the easements across the following described University land. To the Commonwealth Edison Company an easement to the strip of land as follows:
