The first of 115,000 letters from the Portland Depart ment of Public Works to all Portland property ow ners was sent today. Contrary to most government mass mail ings, this one is designed to save money for the property owner. The letters encour age property owners to con nect to the City's sewer system before February I, 1974, when a Major Facilities Equalization Charge (MFEC) of $375 per connection will be imposed. Property now connected will not be af fected by the charge. Concerning the letter. City Commissioner Lloyd Ander son said, “We estimate there are 15,000 homes that could be easily connected to City sewers, but, for various rea sons, are not.

School bands perform Student bands from Port land Public Schools return to this year's Rose Festival Parade after missing the 1972 march because of a drastically shortened school year. Some 460 musicians and 70 auxiliary personnel will march in six bands on June 9, compared to 830 musicians and 248 auxiliary personnel in 13 bands during the 1971 parade. Spokesmen for the Port land School District pointed to two reasons for the fewer number of students involved this year: First, the school year just ended also was shortened slightly because of the lack of sufficient operating funds. This cut into the ranks of available musicians. Second, the five high schools in Area I - in cluding Wilson. Jackson. Lin coin, Roosevelt and Jeffer son - decided to combine strength in one large honor band comprising their best musicians. High schools fielding their own bands are Benson Poly technic. Cleveland. Franklin. Madison and W ashington. Unable to return with even partial rep resen tation are Grant, Marshall. Monroe and Adams High Schools. Committee studies health care delivery (Continued from pg. 1. co l 5) impetus for developing an HMO by the Emanuel Hoe pital Medical Staff was the desire to provide the general public comprehensive health care on a fixed monthly charge basis without losing the quality of health care provided. It was obvious that such a goal would be reached with the physicians pro-iding the majority of the care, so the medical pro fession has become exten sively involved in the plan ning stages as well as in the continuing operating activi ties of the HMO. Thus, the planning was initiated under the medical staff and is con tinuing under the PMHI board where physician con sultation is continued to be called upon while considering the final HMO organization."

The basic HMO concept is not a new one but has. in recent years, grown in popu larity and use. An HMO is a method of providing com prehensive health services with a basic monthly pay ment. For the annually fixed charge, the organization guarantees to provide an adequate level of services. The level and type of ser vices are determined by the programs and services in the organizational structure of the HMO. PMHI’s tentative plan of health care delivery is cur rently being developed, studied and refined to pro vide the best possible ser vices to its future members. The system will be com munity-wide. utilizing many existing health care services and institutions in the area, while maintaining a separate operating identity. The con vential form of an HMO has been to work from one specific hospital. They found a good supplier for their merchandise, which is very important in order to establish any type of credit lines. However, at their new location of 17th and Killings worth there was not much traffic. Nathan Griffin bought his new Mark IV from J. Alton Page For your personalized home demonstration - call J. ALTON PAGE 256-2800 122nd & Halsey In recent months, surveys have been prepared and dis tributed to area residents, physicians and dentists. Sur vey results to date show that there seems to be a definite interest in HMO type ser vice». Close to 75 per cent of the community members sur veyed showed an interest in a pre paid group health care concept, citing m aternity, dental and eye care as core services. Physician com ments ranged from. “It's no way to provide quality health care,” to “I hope a compre hensive system is completed by the time I'm through with my residency.” The basic structure PMHI is now operating under was formed with sensitivity to the needs and wants of resi dents in the Portland Van couver area. Over 100 people have become involved in the concepts and develop ment of how PMHI could best deliver health ser vices to its family-oriented members. Advisory com mittess and work task groups (made up of community m em bers, rep resen ta tiv es from area hospitals, commu nity agencies and women's groups) have spent many hours on the process of health rare delivery design. The marketing of the pre paid health pad.age will be gin next fall. Pre marketing surveys are currently being conducted with major em ployers and unions in the Portland Vancouver area.
