BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 17

ACQUISITION O F P R O P E R T I E S IN URBANA (35) On December 17, 1957, the Board of Trustees authorized the institution of proceedings in eminent domain for the acquisition of the properties at 1008 West Green Street, Urbana, and at 1013 and 1101 West Green Street and 1104 West Illinois Street, Urbana, because the owners would not agree to sell except at prices University officials deemed excessive and could not recommend. Subsequently, negotiations with the owners were renewed and as a result they agreed to sell within appraisals made of the properties. The Board of Trustees having authorized the purchase of these properties and agreements with the owners having been consummated, I recommend that the actions of the Board adopting the resolutions for condemnation, as printed on pages 1013 to 1016 of the December 17, 1957, Board minutes, be rescinded.

On motion of Mr. Williamson, the actions of the Board in adopting the resolutions indicated above were rescinded. On motion of Mr. Johnston, the Board adjourned.
