J C ity Hall
Sandy needs a new city hall build
ing. With th at few people can d is
agree. And w hile plan s for such a
building a re p io g re ssin g th e re are
several points w hich m ust be taken
into consideration.
1. O riginal th o u g h ts on th e p ro
posed City Hall included about 50,»0
square feet for a lib ra ry in order to
meet S tate specifications and thus
qualify for a loan w hich would pro
vide up to 45 per cent of th e cost
of the lib rary co n stru ctio n , purchase
of property for its building site and
library fixtures. T he cost and size
of a stru c tu re to include such a library
space is also being questioned in
th e light of th e sm all am ount of use
th e present city lib rary is getting.
2. But, we m ust realize th a t the
present lib rary location (basem ent
of the W om en's Club B uilding I is not
conducive to g e ttin g th e am ount of
use it norm ally would have. A lib rary
m ust m erchandise its books just as
a m erchant m ust ad vertise his wares.
A m odern lib rary in a pleasan t, new
City Hall would get m uch b e tte r use.
Also, since th e lib rary would not need
th e full 5000 square feet for several
years, th a t e x tra space could be u ti
lized for o th er purposes u ntil the
lib rary actually grow s to need the
area.
3. Several a lte rn a tiv e s have arisen
in th e discussion of th e proper site
for a new City H all. T he City of
Sandy owns an a re a next to C edar
Plaza how ever, th e arch itect p res
ently involved in p relim in ary p lan
ning points out th a t it slopes steeply
to th e south m aking co n struction

m ore com plicated and expensive and
that the site would have inadequate
p arking T his, how ever, w as keeping
the 5000 sq u a re feet of lib ra ry space
in m ind and it m ay be possible th at
th e site could be used if th e library
size is reduced. Yet a g a in , property
adjacent to th e c ity ’s lot, if available,
m ight be purchased, aided w ith the
45 per cent S ta te loan in o rd er to
provide am p le a re a for a building
m eeting s ta te specifications.
4. Even w ith th e possibility of tra d
ing city ow ned land for a n o th e r site
th a t would provide b e tte r p ark in g and
yet re ta in a d esirab le location w ithin
th e city, it a p p e a rs th a t ad d itio n al
funds would have to be bonded to
acquire such a site. In co nsidering
w h eth er th e city should p u rch ase a n
o th e r site it should be asked if it is
desirable to have to spend as m uch
as $35,000 plus tra d in g city owned
land for th e site.
H ow ever it is w orked out. Sandy
needs a new, larg er, fu n ctio n al and
a ttra c tiv e City H all. And such a build
ing m ust be built w ith ex p an sio n in
m ind. W hile th e city has a p o p u la
tion of 1460 now. th e new building
m ust be built in a n tic ip a tio n of th e
city ’s future. T h e re is no sen se in
building so m eth in g th a t will be in
adequate sh o rtly a fte r it is com pleted.
Now. w hile th e proposed C ity H all
is in th e p la n n in g stages, is th e tim e
for Sandy resid en ts to voice th e ir
opinions. We urge Sandy re sid e n ts to
fill in th e form at th e rig h t an d send
it to the Sandy C ham ber of Com
m erce. P.O. Box 536, Sandy, or drop
it off at th e Sandy Post.

The New Autzen Stadium
T he U niversity of Oregon, it seem s
to us, is try in g to pay its new Autzen
Stadium off in one fell swoop . . .
specifically, with park in g fees.
A brochure m ailed e a rlie r th is week
to all tick et holders told how to get
to the new stadium (it sounds fa n
ta stic a lly com plicated, incidentally)
but th e kicker was th e note a t the
top: "P lease Have Your $1.00 R eady.”
W e’ve been to a lot of gam es at a
lot of stad ia and don’t recall having
been clipped $1 before, even a t th e
Rose Bowl. Up a t th e U niversity of
W ashington, w here they know som e
th in g about football crow ds, th e tab
is 50c.
P e rh ap s i t ’s just in flatio n but when
you pay the U niversity $5 for a ticket,
then have to pungle up a n o th e r $1
fo r p ark in g . . . well, it’s g e ttin g
