PAGE EIGHT ACTION HELD UP ON CIVIC CENTERBLDG. | Woman's M)bers Plug‘ Hard for Recreation | at Council Meet men s Club spokesmen | night's Council Councilmen ability of Womar on Juneau sitting in session re« a the ) the des but unwilling k action until} the proposal has been outlined in more cefinite form Result vote on application the Agency for vance funds was post- poned till a special Council session called for next Wednesday evening at 7:30 c'clock Councilmen recreation center i project, but they fact that no estimate on cost with- in the City's mea hi yet been named. The City Fathers were un- willing to pass a submitted resolu- tien writing a blank check for ap- plication for a planning loan based on a building estimate that migl run to any old amount They | wanted to see top limit t on} the application amount | Sights Too High | Mayor and Council were also agreed that the one figure so far quoted—$400,000—is out of range; the sticker being that, should the City later find iself unable to se- cure liberal Federal aid to help de- fray the construction cost, a build- ing on that extensive scale would be beyond the community’s bond- ing capacity and Juneau would then find itself with a nice set of plans not adaptable to a smaller struc- ture The Woman's clubbers were set to proceed on the assumption that Federal funds would be forthcoming for their dream castle and when asked to wield the shears on the project were unable to say just what should be included in the “necessary” category to arrive at a cost within assured reach. With a long-range Civic Planning Committee being oiled up for ac- tion, it was thought that commit- tee of representative citizens should be called in to function on the mat- ter as part of the emergency hous- ing meeting set for next Monday night. Once the planning corps has set a sum it figures is adequate and attainable, the Council will fill out the application blank and go after the planning loan. Must Hurry The special Wednesday session to act on the application resulted from the expressed need for haste before the remaining dab of public works planning funds in the FWA’s | sock is allocated elsewhere. Mayor | Ernest Parsons said he is advised| by FWA representative Earl Mc-! Ginty that there is reasonable present assurance that a planing loan for the project can be obtain- ed. Mayor Parsons also stated, how- ever, that the bruited 80 percent- 20 percent, Federal-City participa- tion in construction costs is very questionable; though he thinks it not unreasonable to assume that some precentage of Federal aid in finanging community public works can be obtained. That assumption is based on past Federal govern-| ment policies. In this view he was/ seconded by Architect Harold Fos Mrs. Don C. Foster, leading off for the women, stressed their view that the City should go out after a recreation bullding under full steam as long as there is a chance to get Federal aid; that it is a pro- ject the need of which has been| felt for the past 30 years or more and has the overwhelming vote of youngsters and mothers alike, though menfolks’ voices have not yet been loudly heard. | She quoted a letter from former | Juneau resident Mrs. Ray Day, who proposed a recreation center as a World War II Memorial. Mrs. Fos- | ter took her stand against repeti- tion of past experiences when the recreation center has alway been called “too expensive” and has been sidetracked for something else. Now Strategic Time : Mrs. Robert E. Coughlin was next in the lineup, for the ladies. She corroborated Mrs. Day's sin- cerity and declared the men are equally concerned in what happens to our young people. She decried the lack of adequate supervision of youngsters’ recreation. Labelling now “a strategic time” to gain the end, she asked for recognition of the necessity of say- ing yes now when attainment of a recreational building is possible. Salvation Army Adjutant Henry Lorenzen ran into volatile Woman's Club opposition when he whole- heartedly endorsed the recreation center project but advocated that it be erected next to the school and be operated as a part of the school system. Mrs. Foster described the some- what hazy vision the JWC has held of what’s wanted in the way of a recreation building: A two-story concrete structure, with swimming pool and rink or bowling alleys in the basement, a main central audi- torium with stage and floor for dancing or gym use surrounded by balconies to seat 1,000, club rooms Fec ork: agreed that Number One hung up on the were sel (awarded. | —that's what the $400,000 would ouy. Site selected by the JWC is that presently occupied by the A. B. Hall. Pay Part Of Own Way Councilman Harry Lea brought up the question of upkeep. The answer to that was that revenues from pool, alleys, soft drink and sandwich bar, club room rentals, etc. should pay a large part of the maintenance | When the question of reducing the construction outlay to a point where the City would be able to carry the project through on its own came up, the swimming pool was cited as the most expensive single unit, also its operation would be costly. Councilman Ed Nielsen plugged hard for inclusion of a pool, but when it was finally more or less agreed that $200,000 would have to be the top limit, pool appeared out of the picture Final say for the women came from Mrs. Roy Peratrovich, declared: “It can be done if we courage enough.” Use Fair Building Patrolman Milo Clouse support- ed the recreation center from the police angle as an aid in controlling juveniles. -His suggestion was the possible conversion of the South- ast . Building, should the City ke able to gain title to it One definite action last r came out of the recreation center discussion. Mention of the A. B. Hall site as proposed location apted Nielsen to move that the renew its $15,000 option property, this time in writing vote carried without dissent LAST-OF MOOSE CARD PARTIES IS TONIGHT The last one of a series of public car parties given by the Moose Lodge and Women of the Moose will be held tonight, starting at 8 o'clock in the Moose Lodge Rooms in the Seward Building.
