Dix situation with Rep. Ed Forsythe again. As you may know, I reviewed the matter with Marty Hoffman at noon yesterday, and with Col. Kenneth Bailey several days ago. Actually, I exchanged intelligence information with him. Hoffman and Bailey advised me that no firm decision has as yet been made with regard to the retention of the training function at Dix. On Novem­ ber 5, Marty Hotfman will receive a briefing by Army staff on pos­ sible "back fill'' organizations that may be available to go to Dix in the event the training function moves out.

Points of interest include bridges, dams, gaging stations, county lines, hydrologic unit boundaries, and major tributaries. Drainage areas are presented for selected sites, including total drainage area for any streams draining at least 100 square miles. INTRODUCTION Expansion of water-resource investigations within the State of Illinois has amplified the need for a common index to locations on streams.

Mayor: Robert L. Jackstadt This new development will be located by Edwardsville Clerk: Ross Breckenridge High School, off Tiger Drive and Governors’ Parkway. Because of this agreement, TheCENTER will be a Village Trustees: facility that affords Glen Carbon residents the same benefits as those in Edwardsville. It will, in essence, Mary Beth Williams be an extension of our existing park system. Walt Harris Ben Maliszewski This community-centered facility is a recreational complex that will offer our residents Bob Marcus and surrounding communities a year-round option for skating, exercise and more. It Mark Foley offers one of the only 175-meter special surface tracks in the area and will also offer a state-of-the-art ice rink, teen center, and meeting space. TheCENTER is the third and final park project to be completed as part of the “A Better Place to Play” Campaign. The intergovernmental agreement with The City of Edwardsville is a significant com- ponent for the new development, joining forces with other key partnerships that include the Junior Service Club of Edwardsville/Glen Carbon and the Edwardsville Communi- ty Foundation.
