The Board of Regents met on Friday morning, July 5th, 1907,
O. J. Smith in the Chair. Regents John Sunderland Jr. and J. E.
Souchereau present.
The Assistant Registrar was elected Secretary Pro Tem. Reading
of the minutes of the previous meeting was omitted on account of
the absence of the Secretary.
The President placed in nomination the name of Mr. A. C. Gough
for Instructor in Mechanical Engineering beginning September 1st
at a salary of $1080 for the first year, and $1200 for the second
year, in case his services are entirely satisfactory. The nom-
ination was approved.
The President read a bid for excavating and laying the sewer from
the Mackay building as follows:
Bid for excavating sewer ditch, furnishing and laying sewer
to connect up the Mackay building at the University of
Nevada.
I, W. H. Blalock, do hereby agree to excavate herewith and
lay sewer according to grade; sever to be 6" for the sum of
$458.00.
/s/ W. H. Blalock
The President submitted bids for digging and laying 4" and 6"
water pipes as designated to connect the water systems to build-
ings already supplied on the University grounds.
The first was from the Nevada Hardware & Supply Co. for
$1500.00. The second was from the Reno Plumbing & Heating
Co. for $1136.00. The latter bid was accepted, providing
the bid includes all the work, furnishing all materials.
The estimates for refitting and repairing Manzanita and Lincoln
Halls were talked over. The Porteous Decorating Co. made the
lowest bid on this work, $806.00.
It was moved, seconded and carried that the President and Mr.
Brown be authorized to go ahead with this work and have it done
to the best advantage.
The President called attention to the fact that there is not
room enough in Manzanita Hall to accommodate all the students
who wish to attend the University. Would it be possible to make
some temporary addition? The Regents considered this, but con-
cluded it would be impossible to do anything as there is no
money available for the purpose.
There was some talk relative to giving help to Professor Cowgill
and it was generally thought this could be done later.
The architect of the Mackay building and the heating engineer
came before the meeting with plans which were examined and ac-
cepted. It was moved to advertise in the Reno Journal for bids
for the Heating Plant, bids to be opened on July 27th at 2:00
P.M. The architect will notify San Francisco firms that may wish
to bid. Following is a copy of the bid:
