LEASES OF SPRINGFIELD, BELLEVILLE, AND PEORIA OFFICES
OF THE DIVISION OF SERVICES FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
(16) The Business Manager of the Chicago Colleges and the Vice-President and
Comptroller recommend renewal of leases for office quarters occupied by the
Division of Services for Crippled Children as follows:
Springfield — offices at 1105 South Sixth Street, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob E. Reisch,
owners, at a rental of $500 a month (total, $12,000) for two years from
July 1, 1957.
Belleville — offices at 10 West Washington Street, Security Abstract and Title
Company, owners, at a rental of $260 a month (total, $6,240) for two years
from July I, 1957.
Peoria — offices in the Central National Bank Building, Central National Bank
and Trust Company, owners, at a rental of $270 a month (total, $3,240) for
one year from July 1, 1957.
The terms of the new leases are the same as those in effect for the last
biennium, except for the fact that the lease for the Peoria office is being recommended
for only one year rather than for the biennium, since it is possible that
the Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children may wish to
recommend a change at the end of the present year.
The Division has funds in its budget for the payment of the rentals.
Since it was not possible to get action on these extensions before July 1,
the occupancy of the premises has been carried on since July 1 on a rnonth-tomonth
basis until approval could be secured.
The Director of the Division of Services for Crippled Children and the
Vice-President in charge of the Chicago Professional Colleges concur in these
recommendations.
f concur and request that the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board
be authorized to execute these leases.
On motion of Mrs. Holt, execution of these leases, as recommended,
was authorized.
SUBCONTRACT UNDER ARMY CONTRACT WITH
OREGON STATE COLLEGE
(17) On July I, 1955, the University entered into a research contract with the
Army Signal Corps for studies on the intensity of surface precipitation to be
supervised by the Illinois State Water Survey. The contract has been extended
and is currently due to expire on January 30, 1958. Thus far, funds in the
amount of $188,601 have been provided by the Signal Corps for this work.
It is now proposed that the University enter into a subcontract with Oregon
State College under which that College will undertake certain studies, which
it is particularly qualified to conduct and which are related to the work called
for under the prime contract. The proposed subcontract extends through August
3 1 , '958, but may be cancelled if the prime contract is not extended, and calls
for a payment by the University to Oregon State College of $5,676.20. The
Signal Corps has approved this arrangement.
The Chairman of the University Research Board and the Vice-President
and Comptroller recommend approval of this proposed subcontract.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Watkins, this subcontract was approved, and
the Comptroller and the Secretary of the Board were authorized to
execute the same.
