State Architect Plan Need Becoming More Apparent As New Structures Are Built By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM Wl Now that Oregon lias spent almost 20 million dollars for new buildings at state institu tions since the end of World War il, the people can be proud of the way in which they are taking care of state wards. But the hodge podge of archi tecture at the institutions is rant. ing an increasing demand that the OVERNIGHT PHOTO-FINISHING IN e PM OUT n AM AT J AT 7 Clark's Studio ,10S S. Jackson Dial 3-8526 state have an architect. Supporters of the state architect idea also point out it would go lone way toward oreventine dis. putes between the State Emergen- cy Board and the State Board of Control. These arguments relate to cost estimates, which would be prepared by the state architect. The new buildings at the institu tions are beautiful, but since they are built by different architects, they look different. There isn't any master plan. The Legislature appropriates the money for them, and tells the Board of Control to build the new structures. The board chooses an architect and calls for bids. In these days, these bids often arc bigger than th amount of money available, so the Board of Control has to ask the Emergency Board Inr more money. The Emergency Board gels sore about it, and blames the Board of Control. Members of he Emergency Board, the Board of Control and many architects think that a staif employed architect would avoid all Ih's trouble. I asked William A. Williams and John G. Groom, Salem architects who have done lots of work ttf the state and who know the insti tutions inside and out, to give their fleas. These ideas are strikingly similar to those of the state offi cials responsible for the buildings. "The primary duties of a state architect," Williams and Groom st id, "would be the preparation endless one INTRODUCING THE COMPLETELY NEW in.. r 'H:.

N. M. Ifl Police patrolled the flood-swept 50-blocK area in this city of 30,000 Wednes day as stricken residents moved back to tneir Homes to try ro clean up the debris. Between 500 and 650 people spent Tuesday night in homes of more lucky residents. Between 750 and 1.000 persons were evacuated as the crest of a IB-tool nooa aown normally dry Spring River bit Monday night. Those who couid. returned to their damaged homes Tuesday.

Jackson Dial 3-6628 Mexico-Texas line. A flash flood rising out of a 3.5 inch rain Mon day night pushed water into an estimated 1,000 homes there. Lovineton residents were still boiling water for drinking Wednes day and efforts to clean up the mud in both nomes ana Dusiness offices were being pushed as ths waters subsided. Roswell Mayor Bert Ballard es timated damaee at more than one million dollars to homes, cars that were swept away by the flash flood, and streets and bridges. The Red Cross estimated early Wednesday that it would take at least 30 days to clear rehabilita tion applications in the flood area The flood, from an area begu iling about six miles west of here. :n what the Weather Bureau called a "weather crashdown." spread about two blocks on either side of the wash. The rampaging 16-foot deep current swept one home from its foundation to crush it to kind ling against a concrete bridge about a block downstream. Threat of a followup deluge, the Weather Bureau said, was oe lieved to be over. ' and maintenance of a master plan fnr each institution, development uf a program for each new unit a the need arose, ana to estaousn an accurate cost estimate to present to the Legislature along with a firm program. He wou.d suggest to the project architect the manner by which nv new unit could conform to existing and projected overall design schemes. "While builders have to keep anreast of building progress, ,t still would be oossible to have a continuity of design and use of narmonizing materials through a master plan." Williams and Groom say th.it tile state architect should not en- age in his own practice, and that le shouldn't draw any plans. He would be appointed by the Board of Control from a list provided by the American Institute of Architects. "The state architect." Williams and Groort continued, "would work with each institution admin istrator to establish the needs of the institution. He would prepare estimated costs, giving the Legis lature a complete study ot tne posed new budding and its in tne master program. This information would be a boon to the Legislature which now las to make its appropriations for buildings with very few facts. The stale architect also coul advise on construction of state office buildings. Here, however. need isn't so great, because the I Capitol Planning Commission makes sure that a uniform Plan is followed. The State Emergency Board, a meeting a few months aeo. dp. cided to confer with architects on the desirability of having a state arcnuect, nut wis wasn't followed up." j While most architects seem to favor the idea, many of them ap-1 pear to have a fear that the state 1 architect would take over Dart of their work by drawing plans. The j state omciais promise that would not happen. i Groom says that California j adopted the state architect plan, and that it grew into a big bureau I with more than 100 architects who ! drew all the plans.
