It was the general consensus that the courthouse should not move away from the downtown district because (1) those persons who use it most have their offices downtown and (2) the public doing business there can combine it with other downtown errands.

In Longtime Plan Planning Commission members reported that Harland Bartholomew and Associates, city planners, had proposed a longtime plan of using the present courthouse site as a small city park. The alternatives suggested in the longtime plan were (1) lo pul a new courthouse on the northeast corner of the intersection ol Exchange street wflh Van Buren diagonally across the "street from the present building; or (2) to ac quire the whole block of Exchange street from Van Buren to Chicago avenue for a combined city-county Democratic precinct committeemen of Stephenson County met in the Council chambeT at City Hall Tuesday evening to name the delegates and alternates to the Sixth Micro Switch for a "looped" water system in connection with the sprinkler system inslalled in the new addition to plant No. 1.

Mayor Glen F. Kunkle made the suggestion at a committee meeting attended Supt.

Harry R. McPhail and Charles W. Furst, as representatives of the Board of Education. Furst told the group he thought that the city should have a public health nurse and that supervi- ion of the health of the parochial should be part of he city health program. To Make Inquiry Mayor Kunkle said that the city no taxes for this function, nit that if the Council wants to assume it, he thought there should )e investigation of a program would require a full-time, year-around nurse.

He undertook to write other cities of comparable size to about health programs. The Council committee was reported as not unanimous on em iloyment of a nurse for the parochial schools and in agreement that the city sh'ould investigate health needs which employment of a nurse might meet. Members present were Chairman Gerald O'Connell, Aldermen Dan C. Ferguson and Fred Nelson, the mayor and Corpora tion Counsel Harold R. Nettles.
