NATURAL GAS CONTRACT

The Chancellor reported that the Rector had approved on 13 June 1960 an agreement between Mary
Washington College and the Natural Gas Service Company subject to the following conditions (1)
that the cost of the installation of the natural gas equipment to the College would not exceed
$6,000, (2) that the Natural Gas Service Company would meet the requirements of the State Corporation
Commission with respect to additional working capital for the Company, and (3) that the Natural Gas
Service Company would supply the College with a comprehensive set of plans and specifications,
acceptable to the College, for the installation of the natural gas equipment. The State Corporation
Commission has issued an order approving the proposed plan of providing additional working capital
for the Company and a copy of this order has been sent to the Rector.

On 26 September 1960, in a conference with the engineers from the Engineering Division of the
Division of the Budget and a representative of the Natural Gas Service Company, a proposed set of
plans and specifications was discussed and approved by the State engineers. The Chancellor concluded
his report by noting that the State engineers had proposed that bids be received the latter
part of October for the installation of the natural gas equipment.
