In a special meeting Saturday the Texas A&M Univerisity Board of
Regents gave a $69,924 contract to demolish five buildings at Prairie

The contract was awarded to Whitlow Brick Demolition Co. of
Tyler. The company will also construct a tunnel beneath the site ofone
of the buildings to house utility lines.
Texas A&M Facilities and Construction Director Wesley Peel said
the bid was much lower than the estimated cost of $193,000 for the
demolition.
The Regents also voted to pay an Austin law firm $40,000 to repre
sent the University in $1.2 million lawsuit filed by Rucker Construc
