The adjourned meeting of the Board of Regents met in their Office
at 7:30 P.M., Saturday, August 10, 1901. Present, W. E. F. Deal,
J. N. Evans and W. W. Booher.
Regent Deal moved, seconded by Regent Booher, that the bid for
the erection and completion of the Chemical Laboratory building
in stone for Eleven Thousand Four Hundred and Forty Seven dollars
and 50 cents ($11,447.50) be awarded to Chas. E. Clough, and
Judge A. E. Cheney is hereby authorized to draw a contract for
said building with Mr. Clough to be submitted to the Board for
approval at their next meeting.
Regent Deal moved, seconded by Regent Booher, that all the bids
for the Hospital building be rejected for the reason that all of
the bids were in excess of the amount appropriated for said pur-
pose. Mr. Holesworth was requested by the Board to enter into a
contract to build the Hospital building substantially the same
as the present plans, which he refused to do.
The President of the Board of Regents was authorized to enter
into a contract with Mr. Chas. E. Clough to build and complete
the Hospital building substantially the same as the present plans
for the sum of $3100, Thirty and One Hundred dollars, for the
reason that the Board had twice advertised for bids to erect
said building and had failed to receive any bid within the appro-
priation.
Regent Booher moved, seconded by Regent Deal, that the requisi-
tion of Professor Louderback for specimens and maps for his
Department at a cost of about $210 be approved.
