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.

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

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

about a block downstream.
Threat of a followup deluge, the
Weather Bureau said, was oe

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. That cut a lot 1
