ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR PSYCHOLOGY BUILDING SITE (48) The Board has authorized a request to the Illinois Building Authority to acquire properties needed as part of the site for the Psychology Building. All but two of the properties have been acquired, and these two are presently in condemnation proceedings instituted by the Illinois Building Authority. A tract of ground, three inches by 87.35 feet, is not owned by any of the present owners of the property in the tract and has not been included in the negotiations. The land is owned by unknown parties, heirs of a former owner who subdivided the tract in 1907 and did not deed to the adjacent owners all of the property involved. This property is located north of 904 South Sixth Street. In order to provide a complete site for the Psychology Building, it is necessary that this property be acquired, and the only feasible method of acquisition is through condemnation proceedings against the unkown heirs of the last grantor. T h e Director of the Physical Plant Department and the Vice-President and Comptroller recommend that the Board authorize the acquisition of this property through eminent domain and condemnation proceedings. I concur.
