The structure, de signed by the architectural firm of Wolfe, Zimmer, Gunsul, and Frasca, will be built at an estimated cost of one and a half million dollars, and will be funded through a loan from the Farmer’s Home Administration at an interest rate of 5 per cent. The following figures are a rough breakdown of expenses: $1,094,000.00 for actual construc tion; $120,000.00 for furniture and equipment; $10,000.00 legal- admiñiátratíve expenses; $118,000.00 for engineering, test ing, and architectural work; and $120,000.00 to cover unfor- seen expenses.

Office space in the Center is set at 26,000 square feet, with an additional 2,000 square feet reserved for storage and mechanical purposes. The Tribal Administrative Center is but one in a long list- of projects presently being un dertaken by the tribe as a part of the Warm Springs Commun ity Comprehensive Plan. The list, though subject to revision and updating, now includes an elementary school, a motel, a shopping center, a mobile home park, a rest home, a museum, an administrative park, low, mixed and high density hous ing, and an industrial site. Plans Tor many of these pro jects havae not yet been fin alized. The first implementation of the plan came in late 1975, with the construction of 38 mobile home lots south of the old Hollywood area. Phase II of the Mobile Home Park will see 25. additional lots open for occu pancy in 1977. Housing: In a study conducted in 1968, it was found that out of 151 homes in the Warm Springs area, 75 were dilapidated and or substandard. Though the West Hills Housing Project has eased the situation somewhat, a housing shortage still exists; and so it follows that housing should head the list of priorities for 1976 projects. Construction will begin in At a meeting held on Mon day night March 8, at the longhouse the W.S.R.A set the date of April 10-11, 1976, as the date for the annual Rootfeast rodeo, featuring saddlebronc, bareback, bull riding, wild horse race, wild cow milking, calf roping, team roping, bar rel race and girls wild cow riding.

For the wildhorse race the entry fee will be $10 per man and this will be a timed event; the fastest time will determine the winner. The girls wild cow riding will be something new and should provide good entertain ment for the spectators. The entry fee will be $5 per person and on a winner-take-all basis. There will also be other added events that will be scheduled to fill in during the show.
