w WVUUJfcV uavu
mafle to City Commissioner Brewster
. by the Greater Portland Plana a-ssocl-
seeretary, Mrs. B. T. 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.

has been mailed to each member of the
city, commission and of ' the school
board.
