Wednesday, June 14, 1972-4 Supervisorial candidate Mulder dies suddenly while working on job THIS WOULD BE FASHION MALL This new impression of the Harris' department store's part of the Redlands Fashion Mall was introduced to the City Planning Commission yesterday by Architect Howard F. Thompson. He said the Palm-to-Cypress project south of the freeway would have 312,500 square feet of buildings, for which equal space could not be obtained feasibly in the downtown district.

Harris' won't stay in downtown Above sketch depicts Harris' store as it would appear from Cypress avenue, with adjacent space for 1,800 cars to park. A restaurant (right) and other facilities would be built by 1974-if the City Council grants an appeal despite the planners' recommended denial of necessary rezoning. Fashion Mall bounced again by decision of commission on Circling the same track that was traveled last November, the $10-million Redlands Fashion Mall project was derailed again yesterday by the City Planning Commission. And the sponsors vowed another appeal to the City Council, which could face the question once more as early as next Tuesday. It was a narrower decision of the Planning Commission this time that rejected the request for rezoning of 36 acres near the Redlands Freeway, east of the embattled Downtown area.

With only five commissioners present for the public hearing and two of them abstaining Ben Rabe's change of mind was the thing that counted in the final 4-0 vote. There were ominous notes in the day's testimony including a statement that Harris' department store hopes to leave downtown Redlands that prompted a more hesitant action by the planners. Acting Chairman John F. Runkel brought the commission back to its target the question of recommending a highway commercial zone in the present suburban residential district after an hour's debate over the merits of a large retail center between Palm and Cypress avenues at the south edge of the freeway. "But this is a little different from the one before," said Rabe, alarmed by the inference that Harris' big store would be moving "for sure." He pressed the issue, contending that "we have to know why a change of zone is William E.

Harwell of Redlands has been elected chairman of the new Faculty Council at Crafton Hills College. The organization was chartered this month by trustees of the San Bernardino Community College District. Harwell, a sociology instructor at San Bernardino Valley College who has transferred to the new Yucaipa campus, will be backed in office by counselor James G. Bisi; vice chairman; and English professor Josephine F. Broholm of Redlands, secretary.

According to Harwell, all policy matters will be the concern of the organization, and when the occasion arises the group will function as an Academic Senate. Uniquely, the faculty group will include administrators as voting members. Further, only the president or acting president is barred from holding elective office by the adopted charter.

primary and prominent in civic affairs, Mr. Mulder was well known in both San Bernardino and Riverside Counties as dedicated to bettering his community. He was an elected director of the Yucaipa Valley County Water District and had been working diligently in helping bring a sewer system to Yucaipa Valley. A past president for over three years of the Calimesa Chamber of Commerce, he was currently serving as vice president of the organization. During the 1969 flood in Yucaipa Valley, Mr.

Mulder set up and operated a command post to help flood and mud-slide victims, personally working throughout the four-month clean-up campaign with his equipment to clear debris and mud from homes and property. He was also a member of the Pass Area Planning Association and the East Valley Planning Agency. The Community Flag and War Memorial at the Calimesa Fire Station was conceived and built through Mr. Mulder's efforts at no cost to the residents. Many other contributions in both work and monetary efforts were made to individuals throughout the community, mostly without knowledge to anyone except the recipient.

Born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, he and his family have been residents in the Valley for 12 years.

"I might reconsider if Mr. Kreston wants to make his motion said Rabe. This time the vote was 4-0. with Jimenez again abstaining. Kreston's motion recommended that the City Council refuse the commercial zoning on three points: The change would not conform to the City's general plan, the need for more commercial expansion had not been shown, and the surrounding area would be affected adversely.

Ralph DeMarco, the Fashion Mall's principal promoter, returned to the scene defeat last autumn with the flat statement that his organization would not be interested in continuing the effort if the Harris Company were not in strong support. A second department store also is involved, he said, but he could not announce the name. One of the project's neighborhood critics said that the name of W. T. Grant had been mentioned for the second store.

DeMarco brought the City's six-month moratorium on shopping center hearing to a close by introducing a panel of proponents. But the City Planning Department acknowledged 244 signers of a protest that represented 146 nearby households, and there were nine letters objecting to a change of zone. One came from the Downtown Division of the Chamber of Commerce, urging the City to adhere to the general plan. DeMarco said he had studied alternate sites a Ford street site near the freeway that was declared "absolutely infeasible," and an Alabama street location, which the department stores rejected The only acceptable site would be on the cast side of town, he stated. Gene Malone, speaking for the downtown district, recalled that the mal! had been refused last year very valid grounds." and has asked for a repeat performance by the planners.

After hearing DeMarco and his associates contend that the core area was comparatively hopeless, Malone said, "I want to compliment my fellow merchants for managing to stay alive in downtown Redlands." Housewives and neighbors walked to the microphone in about equal numbers, for and against the mall proposal.

Engel stated that "we are vitally concerned with a new location specifically this location at this time" in connection with a move, which he said the Harris company "hopes to make in the near future." Tracing the Redlands store back to its origin in 1908, Engel said that Harris' has tried to serve the community well. voicing a hope "to be in this community for years to come." "However," he said, "we have reached a point on our progress where we need a new plant." And he said it should be of at least 60,000 square feet, preferably.

on one and floor. back the redevelopment program that Redlands has entered into, and it seems to be progressing very nicely." Engel said. "But we cannot see our aim in what has been presented so far, nor the facilities to set up that kind of Engel said "we are most concerned with the leakage (of retail trade) that has left this community," claiming that Redlands has been unable to check the outflow of business "because the facilities are not here." Urban redevelopment cannot stop the leakage, he stated. but Redlands will need additional retail space to supplement and enhance the present commercial area. Instead of jeopardizing downtown business and property values, this proposed shopping center would contribute to them, Engel said.

"We want to remain a part of the Redlands community," he assured his large audience. "but we don't feel at this time that we can remain part of the Redlands community in a downtown core area. "We think this Cypress (avenue) property is the answer to our problem," said the Harris' executive. "We can serve our customers in Redlands far better, with better assortments, better services, and better facilities. We think the additional retail space something over 300,000 square feet, will supplement the core area, whatever its development may be." The Fashion Mall project also "will stop development just outside the City limits, from which Redlands would get no tax dollars," Engel stated.

"Let me say again, we want to remain a part of the Redlands community, but we must build a new store in order to serve the community better," Engel concluded. "We cannot and do not want to serve the community in a halfhearted manner." Harris' will not participate in downtown redevelopment, it was predicted by Russell Priebe, of Santa Monica, introduced by DeMarco as an outstanding expert in urban renewal and a man of 18 years' experience with shopping centers. Claiming that a regional shopping center will be created east of Redlands within three years unless the City Council reconsiders its downtown attitudes Priebe maintained that the core area is incapable of intercepting the city's rightful share of regional trade without help. There are 160,000 persons in the logical Redlands trade area all to the east of the city but they are "shooting by, day after said Priebe. Redlands is losing at least 55 per cent of its sales tax possibilities, he stated, and 25 the City's general fund should come from sales tax.

Comparing Redlands with Pomona, Priebe recalled that "most unwisely" Pomona had prevented a freeway-oriented shopping center years ago. He said this resulted in the giant Montclair leaving downtown Pomona "struggling along." Present downtown redevelopment plans are premature in the absence of a nearby shopping center, Priebe contended, and he warned of difficulty in selling tax increment bonds to finance such development. He estimated this would result in City's having to subsidize the core area at the rate of $95,000 a year "which will have to come from the City's general fund or whatever funds you can find." Priebe picked to pieces the reassuring statistics of American Appraisal company. on which the City Council has been basing its approach to downtown redevelopment. Pointing to the Watson amendment on the November ballot, which would put a limit on real estate taxation, Priebe saw a sorry situation for Redlands if sales taxes remain low.

Downtown Redlands needs redevelopment, Priebe agreed. but he counseled the City to complete "extensive studies" before making commitments. The city needs the added wealth from eastbound shoppers to make such a plan succeed, he said, "and you're not going to intercept all that with downtown going it alone." Salary plan for constables draws fire SAN BERNARDINO (CNA) The proposal to give all county constables an acrossthe-board raise of 10 to 35 per cent in their monthly salaries aroused the ire of Board of Supervisors Chairman Ruben S. Ayala who asserted that all raises, if granted at all, should be based on caseloads handled by the constables. "I'm not downgrading the efforts of these constables," Ayala said, "but I firmly believe that salaries given these men should be commensurate with the work they do.

These increases as proposed by the constables are completely out of line." Ayala cited the caseloads of various judicial districts served by the constables, Chino being highest with 2443 separate handlings, and Bloomington second with 1867 caseloads. Lowest on the submitted list was Calzona with a reported 34. Raises of 35 per cent were requested for Mission and Needles, while 25 per cent raises were asked for Crest Forest, Cucamonga and Yucaipa. The flat 10 per cent increase was requested Barstow, Bear Valley, Bloomington, Chino, Colton, and Twentynine Palms. Missed Papers For delivery correction phone Daily Facts 793-3221 before 6:30 p.m.
