SHALL UNIVERSITY PARK BE SOLD?
After reception of a few petitions and a large number of Committee reports--
Mr. BELL offered the following:
Resolved, by the Senate, the House concurring. That a Committee consisting of two on the part of the Senate and three on the part of the House be appointed to inquire into and report upon the propriety and advisability of selling, or offering for sale, at the present time, or within a short period hereafter, the unoccupied, unimproved and unproductive real estate owned by the State of Indiana and situated in the city of Indianapolis, known as University Park, together with the probable value of the same, and, that such Committee be directed to report by bill or otherwise.
Mr. VAN VORHIS would prefer to see the resolution referred to a Committee.
Mr. BELL expected Indianapolis would be heard from at once; but I would say to the Honorable Senator that the resolution is not directory--it is simply one of inquiry.
It was adopted.
The LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR makes the Committee on the part of the Senate to consist of Messrs. Bell and Bundy.
