<br />750 CHAPIN STREET SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, IN THE AMOUNT OF
<br />$80,000.00.
<br />The Ordinance was given second reading in full. City Attorney S. J. Crumpacker spoke in favor of
<br />purchasing the site. He said the Board of Works had agreed that the site chosen by Director of
<br />Utilities John Hunter was a good one and that the cost was within reason, and, the heating for
<br />the present btil.ding will be discontinued about June, 1972, resulting in the need to purchase a
<br />new furnace. He reminded the Council of the already crowded space in the new County -City Bldg..,
<br />and said the Council must look 50 to 70 years ahead in their planning. Most important, he said
<br />the present space will be utilized by the Downtown Urban Renewal Department. Councilman Reinke
<br />said the Olive Street site should be given consideration for this type of future expansion.
<br />Councilman Zielinski moved for third reading of the ordinance. Councilman Allen seconded the
<br />motion. Councilman Grounds and Laven stated that a decision will have to be made on this ordi-
<br />nance and they agreed that the Water Works site should not be taken from the downtown area and
<br />placed at the Chapin Street address. Councilman Zielinki's motion carried.
