Voorhorst. that r the auditorium should be built on the alte of th old Lincoln high school and Its use be divided between gatherings! of various sizes, and classes. The let ter explains the method that mlyht be followed, and rarin fnllnwu? 'In your deliberations relative to the . location for the proposed . publlo . audi torium, tne ureater fortiana fians as sociation Invites your consideration of a plan to cooperate with the school board, if agreeable to them, with a view to making joint use or the site occu pied by the old Lincoln high school for an auditorium and educational purposes. "This site Is admirably situated; the natural slope of the ground" from Mor rison to Alder is a decided advantage; street car service Is now. In operation on three sides of the block and cars from all sections of the city could be easily routed to loop around the block on special occasions. Plaa Xa Inggested. "If finances permit the acquiring of a portion of an adjoining block, across Alder or Chapman, either of these streets might be arcaded, thus affording adequate space for as large an audi torium as could be desired. The loca tion is near that scientifically deter mined to be proper by Municipal Arch itect Bennett, in consideration of street car service, hotels and transportation centers, "The method of cooperation which this association would suggest can only be' expressed briefly In a communica tion of this character, but would In clude the use of a majority of the com mittee rooms for publlo school purposes from 9 to 12 a m., for vocational train ing. Adjoining the heating plant In the basement might be established one uiuuvu 01 in lieub icnoui, ana me en gineer work and other care of the build ing might be handled by pupils, under proper supervision. The rooms Jointly for class and committee gatherings could be so furnished as to be adaptable for either. aught Add Offloe Booms. "A story of office rooms might be added to house the headquarters of such organisations as the Rose Festival as sociation and other development and civic organizations that are now neces sarily taxing individual citizens and business concerns "for contributions to pay office rent and meet other expenses. "The office work and correspondence of such organisations might also be done by the advanced pupils In commer cial branches conducted In the class rooms. "The office of the school board and the city superintendent and the entire staff of workers could also be accom modated In the auditorium structure, and practically all of the clerical work could be done by senior pupils.- This would not only mean a great saving In service salaries but would give our young men and women who are ap- proacrung run fledged cltisensblD more practical education and better un derstanding of their responsibilities as cltlsens. would Use Xt mil Tuna, "Business economy would suggest the advantage of having a building such as the auditorium will be. Involv ing such a heavy expenditure by the tax payers, made use of morning, afternoon and evening, Instead of being allowed to stand idle until praotlcally the middle of the afternoon; while in the mean' time our high school buildings, also In volving heavy expenditures by the tax payers are very little used later than the middle of the afternoon. In other words, at such times as auditorium fa cilities are In demand, elass rooms are empty, and vice versa, so why not make one nuge investment cover a dual pur pose 7 "The method of cooperation In flnan ces would necessarily need to be worked out between the commission and th sonooi Doara. Tne sue oouid be an praised and the school board accredited with an investment to that amount, the proceeas or me do no issue couia then be devoted to the erection of the build' lng and the expense of maintenance could be proportioned according; to the allotted use or the building. Copy Xs Mailed. "Another method might be for the school board to give a ground lease, the building to be erected from the funds provided by the bond Issue, and a suf ficient portion of the building be set aside for publlo school uses on a rental basis, to offset the consideration for ground lease. A copy of the above communication has been mailed to each member of the city, commission and of ' the school board. "Greater Portland Plans Association. "By MARSHALL, N.
