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. (21 the oneninn

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.

district in the event it is included
Ihe plan.
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. '

Space Travel
Termed Near
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (UPD Dr
Milton U. 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.
