Register as a Bona Fide.. He indicated that the local gatekeeper for this funding device is MACOG. Some governing body of some jurisdiction would need to 'make application for such a project. Mr. Oxian suggested that the Commission might establish a blanket policy for extending this solution around the island. Fr. Bullene expressed concern that the commission should not seek to predetermine engineering solutions in such cases. Mr. Talley suggested that action be taken on this application and the issue of establishing policy for the future be referred to committee. Mrs. Choitz moved to -approve the application as presented. Mrs. Sporleder asked what the actual application stated. Mr. Duvall indicated that the documentation was the drawings in circulation around the table and read the text from the application. Mrs. Choitz added to her motion the document 49604-108. Mr: Talley seconded the motion. The motion passed -unanimously.

St. Casimir's Parish Historic District 2. Northern Indiana College/South Bend Chilled Plow 3. North Pumping Station • He noted that the commission had requested further consideration of the boundary description for the North Pumping Station at .the previous hearing and that Glory June Greiff had submitted a.. letter which was here provided discussing and justifying the boundary as described in the nomination.
