I concur.

Mr. Williamson reported that this recommendation had previously been submitted to and was considered by the Committee on Buildings and Grounds. On motion of Mr. Williamson, the acquisition of this property at a purchase price of $29,000 was authorized; and if the owner refuses to sell at that figure, the Legal Counsel is authorized to institute a condemnation suit for the acquisition of this property through proceedings in eminent domain. This action was taken by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Bissell, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Livingston, Mr. Nickell, Mr. Swain, Mrs. Watkins, Mr. Williamson; no, none; absent, Mr. Herrick, Mrs. Holt, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Stratton. On motion of Mr. Williamson, the Board adjourned.
