The City of Spokane would be In danger of losing, the 65 per cent federal funds eat marked for the project if it were turned down. "The funds are available now. Our professional staff has studied and approved the project. It should be approved," he said. Yake said improvement of Southeast Boulevard has been needed for many years.

"It has been examined, not only by technicians, policy makers and elected officials but also by lay citizens representing the entire community," he said. Considering questions of converting the road either to a fre2way or. an expressway, Yake 'As your engineer, it is almost impossible for -me to visualize the possibility or the practicability of this or arterial ever being developed, as an The topography and the necessary geometries and interchange requirements of in tx Metropolitan Area Transportatioa Study (SMATS) included it ls did a city arterial plan of 194). "There have been many hearings and citizen commit-. tee studies of these plans," said Yake.

It is futile to expect that public transportation will take up the slack if streets are not improved, he said. Even if bus ridership were doubled, buses would tarry only 2 per cent of those who ride in cars. "And buses need roads to travel on, also," said Yak, Ile said plans to improve the street have been approved by county and state air pollution agencies after study. "It's important to consider the entire tity arterial network when we talk about Southeast Boulevard It's the only arterial between Grand and Ray that can fill transportation needs for a vast portion of the South Side. "To complete the project, we'd only have to purchase land equivalent to two lots of land," said Yake.

Ile said federal approval, prcssway are such that the cost Would be prohibitive, "It has taken the city staff about four years to bring this project to its present level, If the project is abandoned now, this four years of effort will be of no value," he said, People who live, on bouleyards and arterials must realize they are something other than normal streets and may be improved, said Yake 'the street is only 20 feet wide in places and pedestrians, including school children, are forced to walk in the traveled roadway, be said, "If you reject funds for improving the street, it would be an unjust denial to our citizens," said Several councilmen indicated by their questions of Yake that they are opposed to the project, John E. Lamp, attorney for opponents of the project, who call MSOIV Citizens Against South Freeway asked for and 'received an hour's time to present his ar guments at next Monday's rnoeting. i4 By LARRY YOUNG SeekesmanRoview Staff Writer Widening of Southeast Boulevard between Fourteenth and Twenty-ninth should proceed at planned, Glen A.

plans to turn the street into an arterial. Monday's entire discussion was limited to Yake's presentation. Ile was helped by other city staffers. Mayor David H. Rodgers ruled that no questions or re buttal statements were to be admitted from the public at the meeting.

Many persons in the audience appeared to be opposed to the street project. The council will give oppo- nents of the street widening plan an hour at next Monday's meeting to give a rebuttal to Yoxe's statement and to ques4 tion city engineers and planners. Opponents also spoke at, last week's meeting. On June 30, the council plans to vote on the issue, Yeke said the Southeast Boulevard improvement job has been planned for many years.

A formerly palatial Kirkland Cutter-designed mansion on Spokane's South Side was saved from, the wrecking ball by City Council action Monday. However, the reprieve may only be temporary. The houses, at S705 Jefferson, has been broken' into and extensively vandalized, the council was told, and had been slated for demolition by the city.

Council members seemed skeptical that rehabilitation would be economically practical. Mayor David Rodgers posed several questions about whether it would be practical to do the job. Robert IL Reese, Spokane director buildings, saia the job could be done.

Branner said he needed his own oxygen supply in case he became caught in a whirlpool under the upper falls, as he did when he almost drowned last year during Expo '74. That attempt ended when, he had to be pulled by a rope from the river before he could go over the lower falls, His two other attempts to go over the falls have ended in arrest and the seizure of his boat, to satisfy alleged debts.

Brauner said his craft, which took hundreds of dollars to build, "is locked in a garage in Spokane and we're ready for another run." An announcement will be made tonight on whether a real attempt will be made to go over the falls, Branner said, "If I don't decide to do it this 'spring, I never will." some of his claimed 10 witnesses to the feat. But several of the witnesses said the only thing to go over the springfswollen falls was an empty set of innertubes, "Ile's stretching the truth quite a bit. He actually didn't go over the falls," said LeRoy Hotchkiss, one of the witnesses Brauner said would verify his claimed plunge. "I know I shouldn't have done it and claimed I went over," Brauner said, "It was a sudden and rash decision to claim this," Brauncr said he was angered and insulted that several major national and local television networks had offered only $25 or $30 for his film. Brauner said he would have liked to have been offered $30,000 to $100,000 for the film of Sunday's unmanned inner tube trip and other film showing him jumping with snowmobiles.

Brauner said he was prepared to plunge over the 35- foot upper falls and the 70-foot By JOHN KUGLIN Associated Press Terry Branner Monday re called how his frail innertube craft hurdled over the Spokane River falls, bashing against rocks and evading powerful whirlools. But later Branner admitted he wasn't in the innertube contraption. in fact, the 26-year-o1d Kettle Falls, carpenter, whose hero is motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel, said be was perched on nearby rocks with a camera, hoping to sell film of the riderless craft to a major television network. "No one could tell I wasn't In it," he said. "You can't see a person if he's Inside it."

Enginemen said they had seen a man trying to flag down the train just before the wreck. Local authorities first be. lieved the truck's driver was buried in the debris but became suspicious when no body was found. Two trainmen were injured slightly, but Lausen apparently was unhurt. The truck, belonging to McKay Intermountain Shows of Spokane, was carrying a ferris wheel to a carnival in Edmonton, investigating officers said.

STRATHMORE, Alta. A truck driver from Spokane, originally believed killed in a truck-train crash last week near Carseland, Alta appeared in Provincial Court here Monday to face two charges. Lausen, 58, who gave an address of E4001 Francis in Spokane, was apprehended Friday by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police after he left a farm building near the crash site. Apparently, Lausen had been hiding for four days and was on his way into Carseland in search of food, RCMP officials said, Washington has a special lifestyle that's hard to explain to folks from elsewhere.

Ntir 1 Arguments against construe-Hen of a school district warehouse over the unused outdoor Minwood swimming pool on the Argonne Junior High School grounds were heard for nearly two hours Monday night by the West Valley School Board. Mrs. Robert M. Estey, Eb621 Buckeye, spokesman for delegation, said, "Not one person I talked to is in favor of construction of the warehouse," he said she had difficulty in getting people inteicsted enough to attend the school board meeting to protest. The West Valley board's meeting room.

however, was filled with warehouse opponents. Mrs, Estes said physical edtication teachers at the school oppose the warehouse and she read reasons for their the fence could get hurt, Mrs. Pierce said A school board member, Dr, Paul W. Rozell, said construe-ion of a warehouse here "seems like a good idea" and has been talked about for two years. The district has been receiving dffers for about two years for the former Pasadena School which currently is being used as a district warehouse, Plans are to receive offers from persons interested in buying the Pasadena School and spend the money to build the district's planned steel warehouse on the Argonne site.

The Pasadena School has been appraised at $33,200 and can't be sold for less tha 90 per cent of that price. The district hopes to put up an attractive steel building for $50,000.

By selling it, they could put it back on the tax rolls.

One request by the opposition delegation was that the board consider restoration of the pool. Taylor said a firm had been contacted and an estimate of 05,000 was made on the cost of renovation. To build a new pool would cost between 8150,000 and $175,000, the superintendent added. Another request made by Mrs. Estey was that a group of knowledgeable citizens study the district's warehouse needs, Mrs.

Pierce said this is not the time to start that again. Instead, the directors set 8 p.m. Wednesday for a tour of the district's warehouse facilities for all interested citizens. Meanwhile, the district will continue to seek bids. The West Valley schools have about $30,000 from a 13-yearold bond issue that could be applied to the difference belween what Pasadena SPIN for and the cost of a warehouse.
