<br />Councilman Ladewski made the following statement for the record:
<br />"Our City and the University of Notre Dame have long enjoyed a friendly relationship. Through haste and lack
<br />of information, this relationship could possibly cease. I refer to the method in which the Rousing Authority
<br />seeks to acquire five acres of land that belong to the University of Notre Dame.. They.have future plans for
<br />this property and do not wish to sell. Many other schools have found themselves in the position of no room
<br />for future expansion. We can alleviate this situation by making public record the Housing Authority's
<br />statement that condemnation proceedings or undue pressure will not be used to acquire this property'."
<br />Mr. William E. Voor, Attorney for the Housing Authority, made the following statement for the record:
<br />"I said in my statemaEt, Mr. Ladewski and Members of the Common Council, that I did not think the
<br />Housing Authority would undertake to condemn the land of Notre Dame. I did not make any flat
<br />statement that they would not because I am only the Housing Authority and I merely stated that
<br />I did not think they would."

<br />by a roll call vote of 9 ayes (Councilmen Kroll, Allen, Ladewski, Tellson, Coleman, Glass, Krueper, Lehman and
