The P ortland School D istrict is c o m in g under
pressure fro m the Exposition-R ecreation center to

C oliseu m o re a
The lan d, w h ich is in a choice spot fo r

six-ye a r p e rio d , most o f it th ro ug h pressure and
som e th ro u g h co n d e m n a tio n p ro ce e d in g s
The
a n n o u n c e d purpose fo r the lan d is a w areh o use
m a in te n a n c e shops, a u d io -v is u a l, a g a rag e, and
a d m in is tra tiv e o ffice s
The d istrict estim ates a savings o f a t least
H .3 3 3 ,0 0 0 per ye ar fro m the c e n tra liz a tio n o f

Several years a go the suggestion w as m ade by
C om m issio ne r Frank Ivancie that a b e tte r use fo r
the la n d w o u ld be an exten sion o f the C oliseum
center, a lo n g w ith the m otels a nd fa c ilitie s that
w o u ld g re a tly e x p a n d the city's a b ility to serve as
a site fo r la rg e conventions.
This ide a is n o w b e in g p roposed a g a in a nd thus
far the school d istrict has ta ken the stand that it
has "legal, o ra l a nd e th ica l co m m itm e n ts ” to the
fo rm e r o w n ers o f th e p ro pe rty. It is true th a t if the
school d istrict n o w gives up the land, e s p e c ia lly at
a substa ntia l p ro fit, a fte r fo rc in g the residents out
o f th e ir hom es, th e y w ill co m e under fire , was this
the p la n fro m th e b e g in n in g ? If they d e c id e they
can use o the r pieces o f th e ir p ro pe rty the question
w ill be. w h y d id they need to buy the w areh o use
site?
These q ue stion s a nd the question o f |u d g e m e n t

For those who need medi

kinds of therapy are used to
bring blood pressure down
and keep it within sqle limits
It is im portant to tollow and
