;his point, the Chair presented another Press Release:
Indiana R -56, Industrial Expansion Urban Renewal
Project
The Redevelopment Commission is proud to announce
that the Industrial Expansion Urban Renewal Project,
designated as Indiana R -56, was officially closed
and financial settlement completed between the De-
partment of Redevelopment of the City of South Bend
and the Federal Government on April 20, 1972.
The 13.6 acre project, located generally at Cotter
Street and East of Prairie Avenue, is a total clearance
project involving the acquisition and demolition of five
(5) commercial and sixty (60) residential structures.
The gross cost of the project was $739,758. Of this
cost, $130,250.73 was recovered in the sale of land,
leaving a net project cost of approximately $609,500.
After clearance, new streets and utilities were in-
stalled, and the land subdivided. The land was then ac-
quired by two local firms for the construction of new
wholesale and retail facilities, resulting in an improve-
ment of $1,460,000.
The assessed valuation of the area prior to renewal was
approximately $71,180. The renewal process resulted in
an increase of the assessed valuation of the area approxi-
mately seven times that which existed prior to renewal.

a. Property Management: Rev. Billy W. Kirk submitted
a written report on Property Management. The rent roll for
the month of May is $7,142.00 -- decrease of $175.00 from
previous month. Two buildings were vacated: Slick's
Laundry, Parcel No. 15 -5, and St. Joseph Bank Storage,
Par el No. 13 -3. These buildings are vacated and all
ser ices discontinued.
8. IE -3 SITE OFFICE FIRE
Mr. Taylor expressed his appreciation to the South Bend
Fire Department personnel and wanted to publicly commend
them for the terrific job they did in saving records at
our site office, which was located at 515 N. Hill Street,
E -3 Project. Although the fire had engulfed the roof of
the enj,oining Redevelopment Site Office, the firemen
ent red the building and placed protective tarpaulins
ove the desks and file cabinets in the lower office
are -- protecting the records from fire damage.
Bec use of the outstanding action of the Fire Department
per onnel, the loss to our records is less than 1/2 of
1 %. The second floor inspection records will have to be
red ne .
Mr. Taylor advised he submitted a letter to The South
Bend Tribune, "Voice of the People" publicly thanking
the Fire Department personnel for the excellent work
in saving property at the recent Flamingo Restaurant
fire which destroyed our site office.
The E -3 Site Office has been relocated to the R -66
are , at 410 L.W.E., close to our Relocation Office.
Mr. Taylor also commended the E -3 staff in moving
the records from the burned building the same after-
noor and being back in operation in approximately two
days. The new Rehabilitation Office, now located in
the R -66 Project, is not on the demolition list and
will be evaluated as to whether to remain there or
havE an office in the E -3 area.
Mr. Taylor also commended the telephone company for
a t rrific job in supplying fast service to the new
office location.

AMPLIFIER RQQUEST
Mrs Janet S. Allen again requested an amplifier of
some type be made available so the audience can more
audibly hear the Commission in these meetings. Presi-
dent Helmen said this is a good idea and would be a
sim le solution.
It was recommended the Council Chambers be used for
the meetings, or the Board of Works Conference Room
possibly. However, feasibly this would not be ideal
as at times various records are needed for the meet-
ings. With the attendance in the meetings, a larger
are may be needed in time.
