EIGHT -MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, January 5. 195S Decorator Feels Hotel Rooms Should Have Glamor Not Found in Most Homes Chicago '. Everett Brown says that hotel rooms should have glamour you can't get at Jiome. Brown, a 42-year-old interior decorator, has been doing over a series of plush hotel suites in Chicago. At one hotel, he's been spending an average of S6000 a room on furnishings a sum you can't get at most homes, either. "Even on a business trip, a stay at a hotel should give the feeling of holiday and a taste of Responsibility of Stale Electfon Laws Drafted Salem KU.R Bills to grant thesecretary of state full re sponsibility for administration of election laws at the state level and empowering him to superintend the administration of election laws by county clerks have been ordered drafted by the Legislative Interim Committee on Elections here. Bills to grant similar powers to the county clerks on county level elections will also be draft ed, together with bills to pro vide for appeal boards at both state and county level. July 1 Deadline Set The action was taken after Sam Haley, legislative counsel, told the group headed by Sen. Pat Lonergan of Portland that the counsel was anxious to have as many bills as possible ready for the 1957 Legislature in ad vance of the opening of the ses sion. Haley said a deadline of July 1 for bills from interim com-j mittees had been set so that there would be sufficient time to fiil requests from individual legislators prior, to the opening session. Under terms of a bill the com mittee asked the legislative coun sel to draft, the state appeals board would be aiade up of the governor, labor commissioner and superintendent of public in struction. At the county level, regulations and decisions by the county clerk would be subject to appeal to the county courts. Parsons Warehouse0 Gets Building Permit The Parsons Warehouse com pany has obtained a building permit from the city of Medford to erect a warehouse costing some $108,750 at the corner of 12th and Fir sts., according to city records. The location of the building is that of the Pinnacle Pack ing company warehouse which was destroyed by fire over a year ago. H. B. Murphy, man ager of Pinnacle, was out of town this week and was not available to discuss the plans, but it is understood the Parsons firm is constructing the ware house for use by Pinnacle, which was the plan of operation before the fire. fabulous living," Brown said. Leather Suiie His latest contribution is the leather suite at the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. He put red leather on the' floor and covered the walls with Rure silk. The chairs, the sofa, the table tops, the beds are finished in leather. The bedspreads are leather, too. '"People can be at home here in evening clothes or in sports clothes," Brown said. "That's what's so nice about leather." Luxurious as it is. Brown said that the decor in the uite is practical, too. "The rooms are designed for the hard use hotel rooms get." he said. "The leather floors will never wear out. The furniture is tough, too." Rents for S65 Daily The leather suite of two bed rooms and a living room rents for S65 a day, a resident man ager Steve Lampher said. Brown, who is married and has two children, maintains of fices in San Francisco and New York. He lives at Belvedere, Calif. In Chicago, he has redecorated suites at the Ambassador and Sherman hotels. One group is called the "toute suite" with a French motif, of course. Brown shudders, he said, to think what an average middle aged American housewife might have done had she had the job of redecorating. "She would have cluttered it up with too many little things," he said. "The desire to possess things is too strong and gets out of hand." He said he hopes that women who use his hotel suites will come away with ideas on how to combine "elegance, comfort and beauty with 20th century practicality." One woman who cast a prac-i tical eye on the leather suite was the hotel housekeeper Brown said. He "reported she liked it but was worried about someone spilling ginger ale on the silken walls. Since stains can't be removed from the fabric, Brown admitted she had a point. But he has found a way out. An extra sup ply of silk has been put away for use in such emergencies to cover up the damage. Sheylin About To Become Ghost Town Bend (U.P.)
