     E. Easement to the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Compan' Granted.

     President Donovan stated that about two years ago we requested
the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company to move its gas line from
the site of the Memorial Coliseum.   The Gas Company had theretofore
been granted an easement across this property by the City and owners
of the property.   The Company was good enough to move with haste
and did clear the site.   The President stated that the Gas Company
had requested a formal easement on the new gas line which runs down
Euclid Avenue, across the west end of the campus in front of Patter-
son and Boyd halls.   The easement was drawn by Frank Murray of the
College of Law, and was recommended by the Comptroller.   He submit-
ted the easement with recommendation that same be approved.

       F. Construction of Roadways on Experiment Station Farm Author-
  ized.

      President Donovan read a letter from the Comptroller concerning
 plans and specifications, and a requisition for materials, labor and
 equipment for the construction of roads serving the Experiment Sta-
 tion farm.

                                            July 14, 1949

      Dr. H. L. Donovan, President
      University of Kentucky

      Dear President Donovan:

           This office has received from the Experiment Station
      a requisition to furnish all materials, labor and equip-
      ment for the construction of roads serving the Experiment
      Station farm, in accordance with the plans and specifica-
      tions furnished your office, at an estimated cost of seventy
      thousand dollars,

           Vean Cooper recommends that sixty thousand dollars
      of this amount be taken from the income from the sale of
      fertilizer tags and ten thousand dollars from the income
      from the Experiment Station farm.

           So far as I know, this work has not been authorized,
      or an appropriation made.   Will you please advise?

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                                  (Signed) FrankD. Peterson$
                                           Comptroll er.

     It was further explained that the plans and specifications had
been made by the Division of Maintenance and Operations, approved by
Mr. Tom Cutler, member of the Executive Committee,and by Dean Cooper,
Director of the Experiment Station.

     After some discussion, on motion duly made, seconded and carried,
the construction of the roads was authorized, and plans and specifica-
tions submitted were approved,   Sixty thousand dollars of the amount
necessary was authorized taken from the income fromthe sale of ferti-
lizer tags, and lOOO.Q0O from the income of the Experiment Station
Farm,   The Comptroller was further directed to request bide for award-
ing the work as rapidly as possible.




 







      G. Agreement between the Kentucky Geological Survfy and the Unit-
 ed States Geological Sury  Approved,

      It was explained that,during the years 1943-44 to 1947-48, there
 had been a cooperative agreement for investigation of water resources
 between the Kentucky Department of Mines and Minerals (including the
 Kentucky Geological Survey) and the United States Geological Survey,
 that during this period the two geological survey units had jointly
 purchased property, and that it now seemed best to close the coopera-
 tive agreement and divide the property owned.   An agreement to effect
 the division of the property and close the agreement was submitted and
 executed on behalf of the United States Geological Survey.   It was
 stated that the settlement now recommended had received the attention
 of Frank Murray of the College of Law, A. C. McFarlan, head of the
 Department of Geology, Drniel J. Jones, State Geologist, and Frank D.
 Peterson, Comptroller.

     It was further explained to the Committee that representatives of
the United States Geological Survey and the Kentucky Geological Survey
had evaluated the property and allocated to the United States Geolog-
ical Survey property valued at 1110.30, and to the Kentucky Geolog-
ical Survey, a Pontiac car valued at a like sum.

     There was, however, involved in the allocation of property to the
United States Geological Survey State money, amounting to @148.46, not
heretofore matched by the Federal Government.

     The Comptroller submitted three sealed bids for purchase of the
4-door Pontiac sedan, the high bid being $1,275.00, which is $164.61
in excess of the State money on deposit with the U.S.G.S., not hereto-
fore matched.   The settlement was recommended and it was also recom-
mended that the $148.46 of the $164.61 realized out of sale of the
car be accepted in lieu of return of State money not matched by Fed-
eral funds.

     The complete file was before the Committee and, the members being
thoroughly advised, motion was made, seconded and carried to approve
the settlement recommended, and the Chairman of the Executive Commit-
tee was authorized to sign same on behalf of the University.



     H. Adoption of Form of Contract that May Be Made between the
University of Kentucky Press annd the Author Whose Book It Publishes.

     President Donovan submitted Form of Publisherst Contract recom-
mended by the University of Kentucky Press Committee, to be executed
by the author of a publication accepted by the University of Kentucky
Press.   He stated that Dr. Frank '. MoVey was chairman of the Uni-
versity of Kentucky Press Committee, and he had written a recommenda-
tion approving the form and requesting that same be submitted to the
Committee for formal ratification.   President Donovan stated that he
and Professor Mlurray of the College of Law had carefully read the pro-
posed Publisherst Contract form, and he recommended its approval.

     I. Sale of Bliss Hydraulic Press.

     President Donovan read the following letter from the Comptroller:

                                             June 18, 1949

     University of Kentucky

     Mfy dear President Donovan:

          The University owns a 75-ton Bliss Hydraulic Press
     which is unsuitable for use by the University.  The ma-
     chine is now covered with tarpaulin in the quadrangle of
     the College of Engineering.  This press is practically uee-
     less unless another war is declared, in which event the
     wrorth would multiply tenfold or more.  Xle should either
     dispose of the press or store it in a buildings.  If we do
     put it in a building, we would have to wait until a war came
     along to realize more money.

          I have sought competitive bids for the press, and have
     received only one bid, from the Indianapolis M~achinery & Sup-
     ply Company, in the amount of Q750.00.

         Please advise whether you think the pres
