E Some for Retaining Old - Capitol Design Wide Variation in Cost Ideas Also Revealed by Poll PXGE FOUR New Reno Mayor : J A " By Wendell Webb Associated Press Staff Writer. PORTLAND, May (AP) A wide dlrergeoct of opinion concerning the feasibility of utilising the fire-swept walls of Oregon's capltol building was revs tied today In an informal survey of a representative group of state legislators. Several declare4 the architectural design of the old structure ihould be retained and the present walls used H possible; others were of the opinion It would be foolish to attempt to salvage any part of the ruined build ing, and still others stated they would await the outcome f further study before hazarding an opinion. Expense Ideas Vary Estimates of expense that should be undertaken for a new building ranged over several millions of dollars. C. P. Haight. Canyon City represen tative, expressed himself emphatically for a structure "of stability" and "in spiration to ths great state of Ore gon." Aa to cost, ne commonw; It runs up to $10,000,000 what Is that, for a hundred years, with millions of people to gaze upon an architectural triumph?" Haight also said he would not favor changing the design of the eld building. He would finance the project by government aid, and, if necessary, through a direct property tax "Instead of trying to fool some body with a tax hidden In a roll of butter." Would Junk Ruins Roy Carter of Gold Beach, Coos Ourry representative, told the Associ ated Press Jie believed "we should spend at least 2. 000, 000 to build an adequate building for the next SO years, with some very outstanding features either in height or otherwise to focus the eyes of the middlenest and east on Oregon, which I think in a very short time would more than pay back the cost of the structure. Uke Haight, Representative Csrter aid he did not favor attempting to cave any portion of the present ruins. Senator Charles K. Spauldlng of aalem declared that before the prea nt walla were razed, he "would Uke to get an opinion of some of our very food contractor and see. if the in terior was built of steel, why the present walls could not be used as a veneer only." He expressed the opinion that "with a modern interior we would have as fine a capltol eould be wished for at a cost of sot to exceed 1,000,000." Senator George Aitkin of Oarden Some stated he favored removing the resent walls and the erection of modern, fire-proof building to take ear of present and future require ments, with a portion of the cost to be borne by the federal government and the remainder to be raised by popular subscription. Hai til Hon Gives Idni lloore Hamilton, Med ford, repre sentative, declared he was firmly in favor of an "adequate building" and estimated 93.000,000 as the probable amount necessary. He advocated that tfce legislature be presented several programs by the planning commission and the board of control in order to have a basis for decision. Hamilton blamed the recent ststehouse fire at Salem on the fact that the state asserted ly refused to build an "ade quate basement entrance." and de ciwu "further such economy by building a roof over the old walls is pure rot." Walter Korblad. Clatsop representa tive, declared he was opposed to the use of the old walls and that while he does not favor "a large and elabor ate capltol he believes the structure should be "sufficient to meet our needs," , , . end be a credit to the commonwealth. He suggested a hap py medium between the capltol at Olympla and the proposal to rebuild the old structure. Henry L. Corbett, Multnomah, president of the senate, said he was not yet sufficiently conversant with the amount of space needed and de clared he would awa't the outcome , of further atudy before itjeardlng a definite opinion. He did say. however that he believed the architectural style should retain the traditions of the old building, "typifying the New England ancestry responsible for the development of this state." Senator N. O. Wallace of Bend said he did not have enough evidence at hand to comment definitely. Senator P. M. Ptanclscovlch of As toria declared he believed the present ruins of ths atatehouse should be re- moved, but qualified his statement by : saying his opinion was subject to change "when complete engineering facts are made available." T. W. Munyan, representative from Lebanon, esttmsted S.1 000.000 as the probable sum needed for a "modern, up-to-date building." He also de clared he did not believe It would be economy to use the walla of the old structure and that he hoped the legislature could find some mesne of financing a new structure other than '. by a tax on property, None of the senators and represen tatives Interviewed hinted that any change in the location of the capltol would be considered.
