CENTER SEEKS 'ELBOW ROOM’

I. U. School of Meiicine Offers to Trade With City.

The Indiana University School of Medicine has renewed negotiatioas with the City to acquire “elbow room” on municipally-owned

land for future expansion of the Medical Center. University trustees opened negotiations with the Park Board early "last year for the purchase of new acreage, but it was not until yesterday that the University submitted a proposal to the City. ~The University representatives offered to. exchange the Medical School’s interest in land at the northeast and southeast corners of - 16th St. and Northwestern Ave. for an undetermined acreage of Cityowned land west of the Medical Center on W. Michigan St. The School has a half-interest in the 16th and Northwestern property, while Methodist Hospital owns the other half, Park Engineer J. Edward Perry was delegated by the Park Board to examine the properties with University representatives next week. Meanwhile, Park officials indicated they would consider the University’s proposition favorably. The City owns about 125 acres of land in the vicinity of the Medical Center, between Michigan and 10th Sts., west of the Center to White River. : University spokesmen emphasized that while the negotiations are under way, there is no immediate expansion contemplated. Future plans, however, indicate the erection of a new dormitory and convalescent homes at the Center and a psychiatric hospital.
