Survey Calls For Five Lot Parking Plan By FLOYD WYNNE A recommendation for develop ment of five short time parking lots containing a total of 212 park ing spaces at a cost of $297,650, and the opening of Eighth Street between Walnut and Klamath Ave nue, were the two keystones ir the recent olf-street parking sur vey completed by D. Jackson Faustman, consulting traffic engi neer Irom Sacramento. Faustman's survey, launched March 24 of this year, was re cently completed and prepared ii report form with copies being dis tributed to the Klamath Falls City Council, and other copies now available for others to study. A hearing has been set before the city council on Monday, Au gust 11, at 7:30 p.m. to enable Faustman to explain his plan in more detail to all persons interested. Faustman's report showed that there are 941 parking spaces now located in the area proposed for an off-street parking district; namely. Main Street from Second to Twelfth and Pine and Walnut between Second and Twelfth. These consist of 676 metered and 227 unmetered parking spaces. His survey shows that a parking problem appears to exist during the Christmas shopping month of December, and the summer months of July and August, Sat urday is Ihe day of peak parking. closely followed by Friday. Hours of maximum usage of parking paces are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. week days, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday. Surveying the off-street parking facilities currently available, the report shows that there are 40 such lots ahle to park 891 cars. Faustman differentiates between short time and longtime parkers in his report. Short time are shopper- parkers, and the other extreme is the day-long parker. Most off-street facilities are now catering to longtime parkers, with 725 spaces listed for longtime parkers, and only 166 for short time. He recommends. "Sufficient and adequate short time parking fa-! cilities are a necessity for the maintenance of the economic health of the central district wherein are located the major business, commercial and retail establishments." The five short time parking sites recommended in the report con sist of (II the corner lot at Tenth and Pine which will accom-l moaate 32 spaces.

(4) the major share of the half block on the south irl ni fine between Fnurih and Filth streets. 65 sDaces. nnrl is the corner of Seventh and Pine, adjacent to the YMCA, 21 spaces. Commenting on parker habits. Faustman reports, "The shopper parker will not walk over one or Iwo blocks to his or her destina tion, in fact, the smaller the city, the shorter the distance the Khon. per will walk." He recommends that anv off- street parking program for the central ousiness district be de igned primarily to provide shon. per parking space, or space for omul nme parKer. Breaking down his rnst r.ciimata for the five lots, Faustman esti mates the costs this wavi T.ot 1 $32,750; lot 2, $151,200; lot 3 $2,700; lot 4, $68,100, and lot 5, $42,900. Lot 2 would be the nrnieet In open Eighth Street, and Faustman says. "It would seem reasnnar.1,. for the parking project to acquire iiKMi-oi-way ior the street Al wiiriMita FlMri Hiw - - ' dieltne - j . s N Oil Ccmpiny Credit Card Across From "Lees" South 6th & E.

The total project would cost $297,650 under Faustman's plan and provide short time parking spaces for 212 cars. This would average a cost of about $1,400 for each parking space. In support of his report that the lots in question would provide only about one third of the reve nues needed to create the district. and that the other two thirds would have to come from assess ment against property benefited, Faustman estimated net receipts from the lots as follows: Lot 1, $1,210; lot 2, $2,700; lot 3. $460; lot 4, $1,460, and lot 5, $1,080. A $300,000 bond issue over a 25 year period would require about $21,300 per year based on a five per cent interest rate. Faustman says, "It was estimated that the net annual income from the pro posed facilities would be $6,390. Thus facility earnings would amor tize about one third of the pro gram, with the balance to be paid through property assessment." Faustman also outlined methods of establishing an off-street park ing district, as well as methods of financing such a district. He points out the degree of inter est that the municipal government, merchants and businessmen, prop erty owner and motorist have in such a venture. ' Ihe costs opening with construction coming from other sources NO COSt IS listed for niirr-hnelnrr ici j since this is a city owned pnrKing lot at ihe present time. Faustman points out, however, that in both lot 2 and 3. the ones. lion would be a policy question for the city council, inasmuch as the council would have to bear the cosi ot street construction if r-.ignin Mieet were nnenerf anri would have to give iid current revenue from its parking lot to the LEGAL NOTICE NOTICE OF FINAL AfCOl'NT IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON rUK IHE COUNTY OF KLAMATH DEPARTMENT OF PROBATK IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE THOMAS STACH.

Clauser, vice president of Space Technology Laboratories in Los Angeles, says man is not as close to playing Buck Rogers as he likes to think. i "We are ready to put man into outer space, Clauser told BOO del egates to a two-day symposium n space exploration Tuesday. But we just don't have the hard ware to allow him to travel to Mars, land and explore, and then return to earth with his findings. Satellite launchings have led the laymen, as welt as members of the technical fraternity, to think that man is on the edge of ex ploring space but it just isn't so, the scientist said. Clauser said there still are a great number of difficult problems to solve before space travel is possible. He called for a step up in research to answer the ques tions. Dr. Morton Alperin, director of advanced studies for the Air Force Oflice of Scientific Re search, told the assembled scien tists and engineers the United States cannot afford to lose the lead in the scientific and technolo gical race. He said space travel is closely tied in with the military's duty of protecting the nation. In outlining financing methods Faustman lists them as (1) non- outlay acquisition of sites by us ing already city owned land, (2 purchase from general funds by the city, a method commonly used in small cities and generally lim ited because of amount of funds available, (31 parking meter reve nues which obviate need for use of general city revenues, and ac cording to Faustman, the cost of parking is paid by those who ac tually use the facilities. (41 gener al obligation bonds which are a lien against the city's property and require two thirds vote -ly the electorate for authorization, (5 revenue bonds which are serviced by off-street parking revenues and-or curb parking meter funds rather than by general city taxes, (61 lease purchase agreement where the city makes an agree ment with the property owners for a lease with an option to buy, and 17) financing through a special assessment district in which only the benefited properties of the district are taxed. He also outlined assessment methods that could he used to de termine the portion that a proper ty owner within the district would be assessed. The four bases for as sessment are listed as (1) zone according to walking distance. (2) land area, 3) assessed valuation and (4) allowance for present parking. Faustman's report concludes with an appendix of off-street parking information from a num ber of western cities. A complete explanation of the plan will be given Monday, Au gust 11 by Faustman. Hof f a Returns To Testify WASHINGTON AP) Sen ate rackets investigators called back Teamsters boss James R. Hoffa today to explain his rela tions with Teamster official Frank Kierdorf, victim of an alleged fire torture in Michigan. Kierdorf, 56, was business agent for a Teamsters local at Flint, Mich., and was a Fifth Amend ment witness before the commit tee last November. He said he was kidnaped from his Flint home Sunday night, doused with an in flammable liquid and set alire by Iwo unknown assailants. Officers since have raised questions about that story. Hoffa declined comment when queried about the incident. The committee, resuming its bitter feud with Hoffa, sought in yesterday's testimony to portray him as a recipient of payoffs to settle labor disputes in 1949 be tween his union and Detroit laun dry operators at the expense of laundry truck drivers fighting for a five-day week. Witnesses said to avoid a city wide Teamsters strike that year, Detroit laundry owners made s secret $17,500 payoff over a three year period. Several of the witnesses called it extortion and two of them said they thought some of the money went to Hoffa. But they said they couldn't swear to it. Hoffa, who last appeared before the committee a year ago, was called back as part of the com mittee inquiry into asserted under world tieups of various labor and business groups in Detroit and elsewhere. The Teamster leader pleaded he couldn't recall much about his role in helping to settle the Detroit laundry strike. AMO FREE PARKING AMAZING NEW MOVIE PROJECTOR LOADS ITSELF!
