Conveyance of Land to Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District

(13) On September 17, 1975, the Board authorized University officers to seek legislation in the Illinois General Assembly to empower the University to convey title to 80 acres of land in Bureau County to the Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District. T h e land was used by the Department of Forestry for research on control of wind erosion, but the University now has no further use for the land. The Bureau County Soil and Water Conservation District has 120 acres adjoining the parcel and will use the land to develop a conservation area.

T o implement the provisions of the act, the President recommends that the following resolution be adopted:
