September 9, 1974 Page 3 Mrs. Sporleder suggested that a letter be sent to the Board of Public Works and I & M stating the Commission's belief that there are some areas of the city where these older lights are desirable (i.e. Park Ave., W. Washington Street, and others) and requesting that the Commission be informed before any action is taken to remove such lights. e. Letters were then read from Ms. Pearl Day (August 19, 1974), Miss Johanna Larson (August 30, 1974) and Mrs. Helen Spears (August 21, 1974) -concerning a consultant for cataloging data for historic preservation. All three declined. Mrs. Spears recommended Miss Marie Lawrence, retired University of Notre Dame Librarian. Mrs. Woolridge, noting that Ms. Lupke had had ample time to respond to the Commission's letter, moved that Miss Marie Lawrence be contacted about the position. Mrs. Sporleder seconded the motion. It passed unanimously. 6. Committee Reports a. Budget and Finance Committee Mr. Smith reported on budget hearings with the County Council, last Thursday. The budget was passed at a figure of $11,425.00, however, the budget is under the County Commissioners' budget and they have been asked by the Council to cut their overall budget by 5%. Where this cut will come is still not known. b. Historic Districts Committee 1.)Mrs. Price reported that the application to put the West Washington Street area on the National Register passed the state review board and will go on to the national review board. 2.)Mrs. Studer reported on a conversation with Mr. Brian Crumlish concerning the agreement signed to complete the survey of the W. Washington Street district. He will have a presentation at the October meeting. He also requested the establish- ment of a sub -committee to meet with him on an informal basis to review what he's found and re- view -the standards he's establishing. Mrs. Sporleder was appointed to the Historic Districts Committee. It was decided that the Historic Districts Committee should meet with Mr. Crumlish, but that all members of the Commission would be invited to attend. c.
