Perrin, architect, shown seated at right with his son, William R. Perrin, accountant for the firm, at left. Below are members of the staff' with the compact all . brick office building shown in the rear. From left to right are William R. Perrin; Vance Shepard, drafts man; Bob Biederman, draftsman; Howard R. Perrin, and J. 0. (Bud) Miller, designer. Not present when the picture was taken was Lyle Pratt, construction superintendent, and Mrs. Linda Smith, wife of Lt. Chris Smith of Kingiley Field, who recently joined the firm as sec retary. Remodeling of the building was done by Duncan Construction Company, Klam ath Falls, from Perrin's plans and specifications. i 1 'J ff''' " " Architect Moves To New Site When Howard R. Perrin drew plans and specifications for a den tal clinic to be built at 1415 Espla nade back in 1940, he didn't an ticipate buying the building and moving his own architect s of fices into it 20 years later. . Not only did that happen, but Duncan Construction Company, which built the all brick building in 1040, did the remodeling neces iary for the conversion. Several partitions were moved to provide free traffic flow and open offices for Perrin and the firm's secretary, Mrs. Linda Smith conveniently located to storage files. It was interesting to note that none of the original linoleum need ed replacing after partitions were removed. Checked on that subject, Ruth Herman, office manager for Calhoun's Floor Covering, easily located the ledger sheet showing that 88 square yards of eighth inch Armstrong battleship linoleum ia a marbelized pattern (now dis continued) was used for floor cov ering. In addition. 441 feet of coved border was installed, all of which has worn for 20 years. The walls all have been paint ed the same color, a sort of warm beige shade which was mixed to specifications. The daylight slim line egg-crate light fixtures which have 45 degrees shielding were moved from the old office location at 1121 Main Street. The floral draperies with a pre dominate green tone which Dr. A. G. Goehring had custom tail ored for his reception room have lx.cn retained. A modernistic lamp with individual spots is placed so that drawings can be lighted in the front display window. A studio with space for four long drafting tables and the Ozalid wnite line printing machine is at the rear with a northeast exposure Sets of completed drawings are enclosed in long tubes, starting with job No. 1 and continuing to job No. 1161 which is being com pleted. A fireproof sale in the stu din holds current plans and sped fications and classified military assignments. Paved parking for six or seven cars is available at the rear, Conference and customer rooms are set up for consultation pur poses away from open work areas Drawings and architect's render ings are uniformly displayed along the corridor walls and in the con ference rooms. These are mount ed on 30 by 40-inch illustration board and framed against the walls by means of regular stain less steel drainboard edging. Two parallel strips of the edging are fastened to the walls at intervals. 30 inches apart, so the "pictures" can be inserted in the grooves and changed at will. IRS Interested In Interest WASHINGTON (UPD This year the Internal Revenue Service will be checking income tax returns with unusual care for reporting of income from dividends and interest. An estimated five billion dollars worth or more goes unreported each year and Uncle Sam loses upwards of $500 million in taxes. Like wages and salaries, inter est income is generally taxable. Tax-exempt bonds are an excep tion. So is the first $50 of stock dividends per taxpayer, although it must be reported. Interest cred ited to a savings account is as taxable as if you took it in cash. Some other items not subject to income tax are dividends on a veterans' life insurance, social se curity benefits, state bonus to vet erans, life insurance proceeds upon death, workmen's compensation for sickness, .repayment of loans and monthly government allow ances to families of servicemen.'. .
