PUD STORY .
(Cont. from Page 1,- Sol. 1)
PUD to pay anything : toward,
such a building. The members
didn’t seem to know whether
or not any committment; had
been made so they1- consulted
the minutes. The-record-did
not show any committment- and
the board beamed in near uni
son on the idea that no new
building program would be un
dertaken until the hospital
was completed. -Karl Baier
stated that he had read in
the Bonier News that the board
had agreed to pay approxima
tely for preliminary de
signing on the armory buil
ding. Bill Raver, editor of
the News, said that he be
lieved that tire* board had
committed themselves to such
an amount to Linn Forest,Jun
eau architect, who had been
hired to design the building-.
His belief was backed up by
Henning Johnson and Bob Har
man, editor of the Swopping
News.
(So far as can be deter
mined, the only mention of
the figure ^750 that haa ever
appeared in the News,^ *was
made in last week’s issue in
.still believe the board has
committed itself to pay^ for
preliminary design on - the i
, building and to that end we
have written Hr. Forrest ask- •
ing his opinion* The FUDj
news release of Oct.13 states^
in part as follows: ."Mr.- For*,
rest has been employed to
furnish preliminary plans for
the proposed ' structure.” , 3o
far as we know,, most archi- ’
tects get paid for any work
they do. Ld. Note)
Manager Homer Thompson
stated that he had returned a
statement for ^900 to the
hospital engineers, Rutledge,
Johnson and Tryck, 'because
they had not itemized the
statement*
The board asked that the
PUD books be ready for audit
after the first of the year.
