CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS FOR ACQUISITION OF LAND ADJOINING UNIVERSITY PROPERTY (10) The Buildings and Grounds Committee has approved the acquisition of approximately sixty acres of land located between First Street and the Illinois Central Railroad immediately south of the University property, about a half-mile south of St. Mary's Road. This land is needed by the University for a number of educational purposes, such as the Firemen's Training School, the relocation of the office of and a research building for the Small Homes Council-Building Research Council, replacement for land formerly used by the College of Agriculture and which has been devoted to other purposes, and for other University facilities. The owner of record of this land is Fred V. Percival, but information obtained from him and others indicates that a group, represented by Charles M. Webber, has acquired some interest in the land in addition to any interest therein which Mr. Percival may still retain. Negotiations have been conducted by representatives of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller with Mr. Webber, but his clients are unwilling to sell the property to the University except at a price which University officers deem excessive. It is. therefore, necessary for the University to resort to its right of eminent domain in order to acquire the property at a reasonable price. Accordingly, the Vice-President and Comptroller, the Director of the Physical Plant, and the Legal Counsel recommend adoption of the following resolution, and I concur.
