ENGINEERING SERVICES ON AIRPORT ADMINISTRATION
BUILDING AND CONTROL TOWER
(16) On June 20, 1957, the Board of Trustees authorized a contract with Consulting
Engineering Services for engineering services as needed, with the stipulation
that all projects over $2,500 are subject to approval by the Board of Trustees.
The Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and
Comptroller recommend employment of Consulting Engineering Services to do the
mechanical and electrical engineering work on the Airport Administration Building
and Control Tower at an estimated cost of $4,500. This project will be paid
for by the State Department of Aeronautics, but the University is required to
prepare plans and specifications, for which reimbursement will be received after
approval of the plans by the Civil Aeronautics Authority.
I concur and recommend that the Comptroller be authorized to issue the
contract change order.
On motion of Mr. Hughes, the Comptroller was authorized to execute
this change in the contract.

STEAM SERVICE TO THE NATIONAL SOCIETY FOR CRIPPLED
CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN THE MEDICAL CENTER DISTRICT
(18) The National Society for Crippled Children and Adults is constructing a
building at 2023-55 West Ogden Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. The Society has applied
to the University of Illinois for steam service from the Medical Center Steam
Company plant to the extent of 1,600 pounds an hour.
The steam plant has the capacity to supply the steam needed by the National
Society without capital additions to the plant proper. The supplying of steam to
the National Society would make it unnecessary for the Society to construct its
own steam plant in connection with its building and, at the same time, would result
in some savings in operating costs, not only to the National Society as against
building its own plant, but also to other users now taking steam from the Medical
Center Steam Company, as well as to the University.
Accordingly, the Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-
President and Comptroller recommend that the University enter into an agreement
with the National Society to furnish the steam requested on the following basis.
