Dr. David Sarazin is the clinic's supervisor and Colleen Wilks is the clinic's nurse. Also, Anna Torres is working as the clinic's receptionist, (insert). Commerce types. City Fathers to date are less then totally enthusiastic, They fear con- «(ruction of the Forum would complicate already crowded parking conditions In the area surrounding Hie Capitol andad- jacent Willamette University. Although the project does not include additional parking faci lities, proponents discount such fears by pointing out the legis lative hearing facility likely won't attract many more people than now jam every nook and cranny of the Capitol for hear ings. Furthermore, they point out, other events the Forum would be used for would attract crowds mostly during evening hours and periods when parking spaces are not at a premium. From a cost standpoint,erec tion if that’s the correct term--of Hie Capitol Forum ap pears surprisingly economical. Planners figure It wouldcontam a total of 63,462 square feet. Inai compares with 131,750 square feet of space on four levels of the Capitol itself. Projected cost of the Forum is $2,859,600--compared with approximately $2.5 million spent to construct the Capitol back in 1936-38. Obtaining a structure nearly half the size of the Capitol 35 years later for slightly more than the cost of that original building seems like a bargain to most. Going underground apparently has advantages in tins instance. Planners say they avoid the cost of facing the new structure with matching marble, for instance, that would have to be trans ported many miles. Air-con ditioning a sub-surface build ing is supposed to be less ex pensive. Builders wouldn’t have to contend with windowsandex terior maintenance would be avoided completely. Erected when the state was home to about one million re sidents, the present Capitol Building does suffer from over crowding. As the state's popu lation has more than doubled, legislative procedures have be come that much more complex. The present Capitol has'been undergoing extensive remodel ing to satisfy new space de mands almost steadily since the mid-Sixties. And provisions for hearings in the new Forum likely will forestall major chan ges and shifting of present te nants for a while at least. So if the Emergency Board approves funding and if a con tractor can build the thing for the amount appropriated, the Legislature will go underground in a couple of years. If things go according to plan, comple tion could be achieved in March of 1975. The 58th Legislature is sche duled to convene on January 13 that year. Barring possible con struction-worker strikes, ma terial shortages and other non scheduled occurrences, law makers may get to finish that biennial regular session in relatively cavernous comfort.

One of the family financial records that should be kept indefinitely for income tax purposes is how much you pay for your house and costs of the major improve ment you make on it. You will need this to establish your cost basis when you sell the house. This is true even though you buy or build another house cost ing as much or more and defer payment of taxes on the gains. » » K APPLIANCES IN NEW HOUSE There are several ways to pay for appliances for your new house, In addition to paying cash. You might use install ment credit, or buy the appli ances from the builder and make the payments a part of the home loan. The amount you pay for your appliances will depend on the payment plan you choose, so it is important to compare costs. If you buy through your builder, you might get a dis count on the appliances, but consider this: You will be pay ing for the equipment over the length of the home loan. Even with the discount and a lower rate of interest than install ment credit, you may end up paying more dollars for the equipment. « * • New Veterans Benefits Are Now Available Two new veterans benefits, part of the National Cemetery Act approved by the President, become effective this month and in September, according to Henry G. Helmstetter, acting director of the Veterans Administration regional office in Portland. For veterans who died on Au gust 1, 1973, or after, the VA can pay a plot or internment allowance of $150 in addition to the $250 maximum already authorized. Starting September 1, pay ment of funeral expenses up to $800 is authorized for vete rans who die of service con nected causes. Helmstetter pointed out that VA has for some time paid allowances to funeral directors or other persons who bore ve terans' burial expenses, pro vided claims were filed within two years of permanent burial or cremation. The agency also pays trans- portation costs of veterans whose death occurs in its hos pitals or domiciliaries, or who die while hospitalized or being treated at the agency's expense. 1 he Old li/nve/e yx-. “Punctuality ia a device for getting «orne time to yourself."

Salem Scene by Jack 7immer>nm The Oregon legislature is planning to go underground in 1975. Despite metaphorical over tones, the event Is not intended as a subterfuge to avoid com pliance with the new open meet ing law. On the contrary, completion of the Capitol Forum--a multi use structure which may be sunk in Willson Park west of the Capitol Building--Is specifi cally designed to make workings of the legislature more visible and open to the public than ever before. Actually, the two-level un derground building would serve two practical purposes. It would create a complex of hearing rooms for use by legislative committees and others. And it would make space in the Ca pitol Building now devoted to hearing rooms available for ad ditional legislative offices. Credit for the concept likely will go to House Speaker Dick Eymann (D-Springfield), who served on an ad hoc Capital Mall development committee during Die 1971-73 Interim. As the story goes, Eymann stood at the Capitol’s west enframe pondering the building's space problems. In a tableau not un like that reminiscent of Balboa surveying the Pacific from the Isthmus of Panama, he sud denly discovered Willson Park and on the spot proposed a sub surface Capitol expansion. Since then the idea has met with favor generally, been sub mitted to an architectural firm, plans and models drawn and created and could be about a half-step from realty. Meeting in the Capitol this week is the State Emergency Board, the legislative tx>dy charged with finding fiscal solutions to monetary problems of state government when the Legis lature Is not in session. The Capitol Forum is on the E-Board meeting’s agenda and the 1973 Legislature earmarked funds sufficient to pay for the project if it appears feasible. With Eymann serving as co- chairman of the Emergency Board and legislative accep tance being what It is, odds are the Capitol Forum could be funded this week From a feasibility standpoint, proponents are extremely ex cited about the project. Located approximately 400 feet west of the Capitol Building, It would be linked to that structure by tunnels and also be accessible from the surface of Willson Park. The park settine would he relatively undisturbedexcept by a gently rising hillock, dubbed in Salem as the Indian Mound. It would seat a total of 1,730 persons--900 of which could be seated in a single large audi torium amply equipped to also accommodate theatrical pro ductions, movies, lectures, con ventions and other types of pub lic meetings. Other smaller meeting rooms--six altoge- ther--would seat from 120 to 160 people. An inner two-level foyer is described as id**al for exhibits and kitchen-type facilities are planned on both levels for the dispensing of food and beve rages during recesses, lun ches, dinners, tails and public dances. Portland Architects Wilm-, sen, Endicott, Greene, Bern- hard and Associates point out the structure would be a boon for the Salem community by providing an exceptional con vention and meeting center when not In use by the Legislature.
