Township Board Decides On Purchase Financing
Rich township trustees agreed to finance the purchase of two buildings with tax anticipation warrants from Matteson-Richton Bank at five percent interest. The $270000 warrants will buy the township offices at Governors Highway and an adjacent building. Funds come from a temporary 10 cent tax levy, to be repaid by spring and fall 1979 with acquisition complete by fall 1979. Trustee Robertson abstained, citing concerns over government living within its means.

PSC Tennis Court Bid to Proceed Despite Objections
Prairie State college trustees voted to authorize staff to seek bids for constructing four to six tennis courts on campus with an estimated budget of 80,000 dollars. Trustee Charles Mason opposed, urging a broader look at athletics needs, while the five other trustees supported the plan funded from the district construction fund. The board noted state reimbursement is unlikely, and this authorization is for bids only.
