The size of the dining unit and the number of dining rooms* however, indicate a definite need for this equipment. b. Public Address System This is an item which was eliminated from the plans in an effort to reduce costs before the project was started. It is very desirable that it ne reinstated if possible c. Additional.Room F u r n i t u re VThen this facility was originally claimed, -it'was thought that initially only two students would be assigned to a room, hence fur nishing estimates were based on that occupancy. Actually, three men are now assigned to a room in the first unit* making it necessary to order an additional ~be&.> mattress and spring for each rooms. of the student 10,000 2?,W cL Refrigeration 19>^59 In negotiations before letting the contract* it was agreed that Mr. Foster should take over the cost of refrigeration. The general con tractor's bid :orice was reduced by the amount of the expected cost of the refrigerators. Actually, however, the specifications did not in clude cooling equipment, with the result that Mr> Poster was not allowed sufficient funds to install such cooling equipment. e. Kitchen Equipment 31»000 The estimated cost of equipping the kitchen was necessarily based on the price loaid for like equipment in Shaw Eormitory. However, price increases and the larger kitchens have resulted in the bid price exceeding estimates. We still have approximately $95»000 of uncommitted contingency funds and, in addition we •will have savings on utility services of approximately $125*000. Mr. May and Mr. McDonel recom mend that they be permitted to adjust the budget and place orders for furnishings and equip ment costing approximate!;^ S785»0Q0. Such an authorization can be carried out within the funds available without further borrowing. On motion of Miss Jones* seconded by Mr. Brody, it was voted to approve the above item 1. 2.
