7. PROGRESS REPORTS (Cont'd The alternatives are: 1) Corner of Lafayette and Washington - -if they want it up by November 11th, or 2) Wait a year or so and have the monument included in the Cultural Center. The voterans preference is the second. Mr. P tersen said at the time the monument was erected, June , 1903, it was the tallest point in South Bend. With zll the tall buildings in the area now, the Monu- ment Erected on the North side of the Court House Lawn would make it look like the "back yard of a retired Admir 1." Presi ent Helmen said the Redevelopment Commission sold land lo the County for the Monument site. The comments in ThE South Bend Tribune are speculative, and in no way can the Redevelopment Commission donate land in the Cultural Centey site being requested. It is part of our project cost. If we were to donate that part of the project cost, it would have 4o come from tax funds, and it would be unfair to burden the t xpayers with this added cost. The County Commissioners have stated the Monument will be placec on the Court House lawn and it is not in order for the Redevelopment Commission to recommend where it will be place c. The County has purchased the land. Mr. Wiggins said the Commission has some grounds on what they may not do with that land, but has no say in what they must do with it. This is in the province with the Count Commissioners in what they will do. b. Business Relocation, R -66: Mr. John A.
