The first of 115,000 letters

most government mass mail

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. If property
owners wait until next year,

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.

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
