OPPOSITION
TO
CIVIC
CENTER NOT CONSTRUCTIVE
(Continued from page 1)
Center amendment passes and
are calling the whole project a
“booby trap.”
Since the city doesn’t own,
“doesn’t want to own and will
do everything to keep from own
ing the public market building,”
according to Commissioner Wil
liam A. Bowes, that particular
structure can hardly be pointed
to as a sample of civic planning,
the Postwar Development com
mittee comments. It also adds
that the public market building,
put up by private interests, is
an example of the faults of build
ing without* a plan. That is why
the committee feels the Center
plan is a good one and neces-
sary to the city.
This small opposing group ad
vertises that somebody is some
how going to make a lot of mon
ey on the plan, that it is all
a gigantic, vicious scheme to
hoax the public.
The Postwar Development com
mittee answers this charge by
civic leaders, representatives of
listing its members, who include
churches,
labor organizations,
women’s clubs, civic betterment
groups, heads of veterans’ organ
izations and all Portland’s public
officials.
