PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1973 Plan Under Way To Preserve Historic^Landmarks Of Area A plan to preserve nor­ theastern Illinois' historic landmarks -- land sites as well as famous architecture -- is underway in accordance with a formal agreement between the Landmarks Preservation service (LPS) and the Nor­ theastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC). To be completed in 1975, the plan is to put preservation concerns into a regional development context. A two- year planning process will involve identifying the visible remnants of northeastern Illinois' history and developing strategies to insure their preservation or conservation. The joint planning agreement was announced by officials of the two organizations: Richard A Miller, LPS founder and president, and Matthew L. Rockwell, NIPC executive director. "Northeastern Illinois is rich in its cultural heritage of historical sites, scenic views and landmark structures," Rockwell remarked in an­ nouncing the agreement. "Yet this heritage is in critical danger of being lost. The ever increasing pressures of ex­ pansion and development are causing the loss of these irreplaceable sites and structures at an alarming rate. Speaking of past deficiencies in architectural preservation in Chicago, Miller noted that last- minute efforts to save in­ dividual buildings or sites "have been generally and predictably unsuccessful. Too often preservationists begin to fight only after a decision has been made to demolish an architectural land mark or historic site,' Miller said. "Both private and public groups have lacked plans of action. "Adequate preparation requires a knowledge of real estate and finance, a type of expertise in which most preservation oriented organizations are sadly deficient," Miller continued. "As a result, battles to save sites and landmarks often become emotional outpourings rather than constructive ac­ tions with a chance of success." Under the NIPC-LPS agreement, the organizations will retain their individual identity and purpose but will work together as a team to develop and carry out a regional preservation plan. According to Miller, the agreement is an unusual Hjj; tSBMi pairing of public and private forces but "natural because we share the common goal of preserving the region's historical, cultural and aesthetic legacy." Eventually, landmark preservation will be in­ corporated as an clement of a regional design plan with the stature of other NIPC func­ tional plans for growth and development of northeastern Illinois. "What historic preservation needs most is a sound basis in urban and regional planning," Rockwell said. "Then the various components of historic preservation can be put in their proper context and related to other planning considerations, such as transportation, housing and natural resource con­ servation. By integrating historic preservation with open space and land use planning, a sensitive and coherent regional policy and design plan can be created." Rockwell added. The LPS has already begun work on its short range program for the immediate preservation of architectural landmarks and outstanding examples of town planning'and landscape design, in Chicago and other select urban and suburban locations. NIPC, aided in large part by Illinois Department of Con­ servation surveys, is compiling a list of significant historical locales and structures throughout the six-county region. This list will include such items as patches of original Illinois prairie and woods, sites rich in Indian artifacts and such antique' structures as bridges and grist mills. Once the inventory of the region's historic landmarks is complete, locations will be programmed onto the same computer tape that NIPC uses to record land use and natural resource information by quarter-quarter section. Rock­ well said computer storage of landmark sites will be helpful in revealing any potential conflicts between development proposals and preservation efforts. Specific objectives of the joint preservation agreement are: -- developing a preservation action plan -- providing a coordinated approach to preservation, including both governmental and citizen action --• establishing an ongoing organization to provide preservation services to both the public and private sectors -- incorporating preservation concerns into the policies and ^planning and review actions of governmental agencies or other decision making bodies. NIPC is investigating the possibility of incorporating historic preservation, as a review criteria in evaluating project applications for federal assistance. LPS will assist NIPC in the development of such project review criteria and will further provide and periodically update a short range priority program for preservation. In cooperation with official agencies such as the Chicago Commission on Historic and Architectural Landmarks, and other organizations, LPS will proceed with studies aimed at providing a basis for establishing priorities, for­ mulating area-wide preser­ vation plans and developing I ISJ PRICES EFFECTIVE NOW THRU SUNDAY, JUNE 24 We reserve the right to limit quantities.

Dwyer, the SBA's Mid­ western regional director, has announced. According to Dwyer, 2,872 home disaster loan applications have been filed throughout Illinois for $10,506,758. He added that 175 business loan applications have been made for $2,291,972. Dwyer said 887 of the home applications have been ap­ proved for $2,251,615. Approval has been given thirty-six of the business applications for $145,045, he added. The director explained that 9,900 interviews have been conducted thus far by the SBA throughout'Illinois in con­ nection with the flooding and that 8,725 loan applications have been distributed. Dwyer said June 30, July 9, July 16 and July 31 deadlines remain in effect for flood victims in forty-nine Illinois counties included in a P r e s i d e n t i a l d i s a s t e r declaration, which enables homeowners and tenants, business people, churches, private schools, and other non­ profit organizations in the affected areas to qualify for low-cost, long-term SBA loans to restore or replace damaged property not covered by in­ surance. According to Dwyer, the June 30 deadline is applicable in McHenry county. State To Pay Full Costs Of Welfare Patients State government will have to pay the full cost of welfare patients placed in county nursing homes according to a bill passed by the Illinois House. At the present time the state pays for operating costs, but nothing toward the cost of construction for the 2,867 welfare patients in the state's thirty-nine county nursing homes, reported sponsor Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake). "The state welfare people have been asking county governments to subsidize the care of patients on welfare in counties with nursing homes, but not in others. This obviously discriminates against the thirty-nine counties that have taken the initiative to build a nursing home so their elderly poor may spend the declining years in their own county." Skinner estimates the cost of amortizing the cost of con­ struction over the next forty years to be $1,381,000 per year. He bases his estimate on the original costs of the thirty-nine nursing homes in Illinois. He conceded that passage of the bill might well encourage the construction of additional homes, but said, "With the number of senior citizens needing nursing homes in­ creasing, that's probably a good thing. In his floor debate, Skinnner pointed out that county nursing homes are much more strictly regulated than private nursing homes. "You don't hear about county nursing homes burning or being closed down because of sub­ standard care," he pointed out. Just before the storm broke, Hubby said: "No, the boss didn't give me a raise, but he did give me many pointers on how you could spend less money".
