Hawkeye will serve all areas within the service Area which meet or exceed the minimum density requirement of fifty-five (55) occupied homes per planirmile (30 occupied homes per half mile). Calculation of the number of miles of plant involved shall include a figure representing any inter -connecting trunk line. Hawkeye will complete construction in these areas within nine (9) months following the date upon which a given area achieves the above density. In addition, Hawkeye will use its best efforts to complete construction sooner than the nine (9) month period set forth above. The nine (9) month construction time limit undertaken in this policy assumes that Hawkeye encounters no unusual easement problem which cause unanticipated delays, and also assumes that events beyond Hawkeye's reasonable control do not intervene to unreasonably delay construction.

I have enjoyed my work with you on the Commission. During the time I've spent with you, other commission members and staff I have found your dedication heartening. The road that the Commission has chosen to follow over the next couple of years --to gain conservation easements along the Iowa River Corridor-- seems exciting, challenging, and a particularly needed course of action. I hope success for you on this undertaking. i I'm turning into Karen most of the materials I have accumulated over the past year and a half, including minutes E of Commission meetings, which would seem particularly useful to the next person who occupies my position. I look forward to reading of your success story with gain•#g conservation easements in the papers over the ; next year or two. Good luck! III!

I understand that you would rather not place my letter on the City Council agenda, since I mentioned a specific incident. Therefore I am writing again, without any specific references, in strong support for an ordinance. Let us defend the rights of all poeple of the community, most of whom need reasonable peace and quiet, and, surely, all of whom want to save energy during the "grace" period in our weather cycles (let us hope that Spring was not cancelled by the weatherman "upstairs" this year!), when we can open the windows, when we want to sit outside. The electronic noise pollution is a problem. Having strong stereo system sit outsideyand thereby terrorise an$ entire area, should be g deemed inappropriate. I mentioned the incident, without giving a name, only to illustrate what I meant. I do not ` wish to send the police to my neighbors, for I like my neighbors, all of them I would say. I noise ordinance makes complaints unnecessary, mostly at least. In this university town, professors work on their scholarship at home, students study — we need a quiet atmosphere. i Again, thank you.

Dear rnemherso, ' DwcaCiit,c14ycoofnC11) As a resident of Iowa City for almost 19 years, I would like to bring up a matter that I'm sure has been mentioned before; the choice of a main runway for future use at the Iowa City municipal Airport. My proposal is to lengthen the northeast -southwest runway using the former city landfill (now a city park) as an area in which to build the new runway extension. At this time, Iowa City airport is not a major airport, it does not even have commercial airline service. However, the truth of the matter is, the use of the north -south runway is use that will not benefit anyone involved with the airport, now or in the future. This runway is dangerous, as the approach from the north has the Benton Street wires as a formidable obstacle. Also, those who live in the flight path bear ill will toward the airport, due to noise pollution. This is because the north approach, and take -off paths are directed over residential districts of central and west Iowa City, and the campus of the University of Iowa. The north -south runway is, as you know, a very inferior choice as a main runway. May I suggest an alternative? The northeast -southwest runway is the best choice for the main runway. I know that this runway has been considered as the main runway of the future , but not with this consideration; this runway can be lengthened, and the flightpath will be over farm land or commercial land, be the approach or take -off from the northeast or the southwest. Instead of lengthening the runway to the southwest, which would require the purchase of expensive and very much needed farm land,Msider extension of the runway toward the northeast. This would make the purchase of land unnecessary, as this is old city landfill, now a city park, and would make the Approach less dangerous (no Benton wires). The park that exists east and northeast of the airport is only sparsely vegitated at the present time, so extension of the runway would not degrade the beauty of the area. In the case of highway 218 south, instead of rerouting the highway, a tunnel (ala Denver's Stapleton International Airport) could beewtructed. I think that consideration will reveal this to be the least expensive, safest, most environmentally sound route to choose in selecting a main runway for the future of the Iowa City Municipal Airport. incerely Kyle Anderson. u17 t000dolde- lir. �DtA)Qrj'� ,Tacvq. a MICROFILMED BY "-JORMMICR+LAB" I CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES I ,'� 1 _�N May 14, 1982 U ' �✓ L Mr. Kyle Anderson 807 Woodside Drive Iowa City, Iowa 52240 i Dear Mr. Anderson: At its regular meeting of April 27, 1982, the City Council received and placed on file your letter concerning the designation of a main runway for the Iowa City Airport. You have suggested that the northeast -southwest runway be extended toward the northeast. Your reasons for extending the runway in this direction are valid --saving valuable farmland, etc. -- however, Mr. Richard Kautz, Resident Construction Engineer for the Highway Division of the Iowa Department of Transportation indicated that a bridge 11 feet wide by 400 feet long would cost approximately $500,000. The cost for building a tunnel is slightly higher. A tunnel under the - runway extension to the northeast would have to be at a minimum 48 feet wide to accommodate the four -lane Highway 218 and to clear the runway safety areas it would have to be at least 800 feet long. As you can see, the dimensions of this tunnel are over twice that of a $500,000 bridge. Add to that required lighting, ventilation and water drainage, a conservative estimate of cost would exceed $1 million for the tunnel. The plan currently proposed would be an extension to the southwest, with only a small portion of land being required. The airport's consultants estimate 96 acres will be required at an acquisition cost of approximately $250,000. This land acquisition would be an eligible federal project with FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) carrying 90% of the cost. The local matching share would be around $25,000. Although farmland is being used for this project, extension to the southwest seems to be most cost effective. It is the Airport Commission's desire to make the northeast- southwest runway the main runway even before it is extended. To entice pilots to start using this runway after dark, the airport will be installing radio ' controlled runway lights and will be keeping the lights on the northeast - southwest runway during the hours of darkness. It is hoped this will move the evening traffic to this runway, thus, helping some of the problems of the past. Your concerns with the development of our airport is much appreciated.

POST OFFICE BOX 846 IOWA CITY. IOWA 52244 April 14, 198.2 Ms. Neuhauser and the City Council The Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Councilpeoplel I RECF� APR 1 9 1982 Last summer BIC (Bicyclists of Iowa City) renewed its active inter- est in procuring a safe and legal method of bicycling from Clinton to Capitol westbound on Washington Street. As the Transit Inter- change now exists there is a ban on westbound bicycle traffic on Washington between Clinton and Capitol Streets. Discussions with Hugh Mose the transit manager, Jeff Davidson the assistant trans- portation planner, Jim Brachtel the traffic engineet and informat- ion obtained from bus drivers themselves all show that conflicts between busses and bicycles are not (and will not) be a problem. The reasoning is that many bicyclists are illegally travelling westbound now.and legalizing the usage will not affect the sage movement of those bicycles. In October 1981 a discussion in•informal City Council session re- sulted in bring up the issue of the City's liability should a bus/ bike collision occur. It was agreed that the legal or illegal presence of bicycles would probably not make any difference in the outcome of a lawsuit. Nonetheless the feeling of Robert Janson the City Attorney was that liability would be somewhat greater if the bicyclists presence were permitted and a collision occurred'. Mr. Janson also stated that it would be "necessar,a to provide a bike lane and appropriate signing to fulfill its (the City's) high duty to provide a safe condition for the bikes." There is considerable County- "Serving Bicyclists Throughout Johnson C- .__._ _ 61/ 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB- 1 I 1 ' CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES I I � �r z evidence that bi}_ 'lanes on normal city str6„ls frequently create more dangers than they remove ( See John S. Allen, The Complete Book of Bicycle Commutinr, Rodale Press, N]mnas, PA. 1981 and John Forester, Effective C clin , Custom Cydle FYitments, Sunnyvale, CA. 1881). I quote from Forester's book: "95.5% of car/bike collisions are caused by turning and crossing movements. Bike lanes and sidepaths make about 50% of these more difficult and dangerous, and don't re- duce the rest. Bike lanes and sidepaths are intended, supposedly, to reduce car/bike rear endcollisions on straight roads, which constitute only0. i bike collisions." 5I of total car/ It is because bike lanes and sidepaths are often more dangerous than street riding that BIC opposes the use of them and "Bicyclist use sidewalk" signing in Iowa City generally and for the 50 feet of the Transit Interchange in particular. This leaves "appropriate signing" to consider. Bus drivers using the interchange have found that the real danger to westbound traffic comes from busses on the south side of the island merging with the rest of the westbound traffic on the other side of the island. And, as a result, have adopted a policy of stopping at the west end of the island and proceeding with caution. It seems appropriate, as I think John Lundell suggested, that a "Caution" or "Stop" sign be installed at that spot to warn bicyclists of a possible danger from merging busses. A sign would absolve the city of its liability and the safety of bicyclists would be increased since we would no longer be forced to drive our bicycles westbound on Burlington Street nor on the pedestrians' sidewalks. The final objection Mr. Janson has deals with the wording of the City Code as follows: "Every person riding a bicycle on a road- way shall ride as near to the righthand side of the roadway as practicable except for turning movements, or where bike lanes so designate." I have already mentioned the danger that bikelanes create. Mr. Janson feels that since busses are near the curb a 141CROFIL14ED BY 1 I ` JORM-MICR#LAB - J CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES I I i 14 r- 3 when they load and unload, the code would need to be modified to allow bicycles to drive to their left. However, the code does not require bicyclists to hug the righthand curb since "as near.., as practicable" allows for bicyclists to travel anywhere near the right side of the street as is safest. Since it is safest to pass a stopped bus on the left, there seems to be no reason to t change the code to allow for it. r To summarize then, since there is general agreement that bicyclists now driving westbound on Washington from Clinton to Capitol are not causing a dangerous situation, and signing with a "Yield, Caution or Stop" sign would probably absolve the City of liability should a collision occur, there seems to be no reason not to legalize the westbound bicycle flow. I will be happy to discuss this matter in either informal or formal Council session. Thank you for considering this request again. Sincerely, Shelley (B.

A panel composed of Douglas Boothroy, Glenn Siders, both of Iowa City, Bruce Glasgow, speaking as a Developer, and myself, made a brief presentation of this concept. Also present at the meeting was Omer Letts of the City of Coralville, who was asked to comment upon the zero lot line ordinance iri effect in Coralville. After the presentation, a discussion was held concerning the feasibility and timing of the City of Iowa City implementing a zero lot line ordinance. The members of the association at the meeting were informed that the concept is included in the comp- rehensive plan being proposed and discussed by the City of Iowa City planning staff and the Planning and Zoning Commission, but that this comprehensive plan would not likely be implemented for a few years. The members of the Iowa City HomebuildVIAssociation were of the general opinion that after seeing how well the concept works in Coralville, it would work as well or better in Iowa City. The Association as a group was of the general opinion that it would like to see such.a concept passed by ordinance now, in time for the present building season, rather than to study the concept and impliment it with a comprehensive zoning plan at some unspecified future time. The following resolution was unanimously passed by the Iowa City Homebuilders Association at it's April 8, 1982 meeting: 6 8� r 1 141CROFILMED BY f ...JORM-MIcR¢LAB.. .. -...1 { CEDAR RAPIDS • DES M0110 ' I I J� _y A`� RESOLVED, that the Iowa City Homebuilders Association requests the City of Iowa City to pass a"Zero Lot Line Ordinance" similar to the ordinance passed by the City of Coralville, Iowa, as soon as possible in order to assist the construction industry, real estate industry and the future homeowners of Iowa City, Iowa. i was requested, after that meeting, by the Board of Directors of the Iowa City Homeowners Association, to contact the members of the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa, with the object of meeting with you to present this idea and ask you to consider implementing a Zero Lot Line Ordinance similar to that of Coralville, Iowa's, as soon as possible. Attached to this letter is a copy of the Coralville Ordinance for your inspection and review. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with.

The nine (9) month construction time limit undertaken in this policy assumes that Hawkeye encounters no unusual easement problem which cause unanticipated delays, and also assumes that events beyond Hawkeye's reasonable control do not intervene to unreasonably delay construction.

Iowa State Historical Department Division of Historic Preservation April'82 Iowa Preservation'81; A Year of Change and Uncertainty '* This past year historic preservation has faced many uncertainties, most of which stemmed from proposed cutbacks in funding from its prin- cipal source, the Department of �; the Interior. Shortly after the �' Reagan administration took of- `'fiee in January 1981, a proposed budget recommended zero dollars for state historic preservation offices na- tionwide. New grants would have ceased and the Slate Historical Department would have had to reduce its stale historic pres- ervation office in Iowa to a staff of two or three highly successful and popular Acquisition and De - gra velopment Grants prom available to owners of National Register sites is no longer available. This program was directly responsible for saving and re- habilitating scores of structures throughout the stale. Since its inception, over $1.8 million have been awarded by the federal government to National Re- gister properly owners throughout the stale. Federal policy (or preserva lion assistance has shifted toward a tax incentives program designed for commercial properties as a substitute stimulus for preservation. This is explained in another article. The division's administrative structure has under- gone a great change this past year.

Despite recent federal funding cutbacks that eliminated the popular restoration grants-in-aid program for National Register properties, several project grants administered through this office are still in progress and show great promise for historic preserva- tion in Iowa. Particularly noteworthy is the project for the Bloom- field Square Historic District. Citizens of Bloomfield, the Davis County seal (population 2,700), are witnessing a restoration of many buildings around the square which surrounds the pictur- esque, Second Empire style courthouse. The Bloomfield project calls attention to more than the preserva- tion of a nineteenth-century town square. It demonstrates how unified community action will achieve greater results over the in- dividual efforts of a single building owner. In this case, members of the Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce, headed by Peter Bur- chelle, president of the Exchange Bank, have banded together in an effort to enhance the appearance of downtown Bloomfield and stimulate business activity at the same time. The chamber of com- merce received a federal Historic Preservation Fund grant from the division for $86,000 in 1980. This the merchants are overmatching, making for a total of about 5170,000 in project costs. Bloomfield's merchants have hired local contractors to perform the work which will be completed by the end of next summer. Some of the buildings being restored, many dating from the nineteenth century, include a shoe store, a county agency for the aging, a community theater/arts center, a fraternal lodge, law of- fice, and a real estate office. Altogether at lead 13 buildings will have preservation work done, ranging from repainting facades and tuckpointing brick fronts to installing new energy efficient windows which retain an historical appearance. Historically inap- propriate remodelings and additions will be removed; deteriorat- ing detail work on the facades will be repaired or replaced; and leaks c r other defects in the roof, foundations, or any other critical area in the buildings will be corrected. By next fall, the square will boast a clean, richly colored appear- ance more attractive to shoppers. Moreover, the community thea- ter will once again be ready to show films and hold plays for the city. to enjoy. Numerous other noteworthy grant projects have been com- pleted in the past year. The division would like to commend the following and all grant recipients as well as those who have com- pleted preservation projects with private resources. Some of these projects include: The Rosenfield House, Sherman Hill Historic District, Des Moines. This Queen Anne style house, with colonial and olherarchitec- lural features is owned by Charles Camp and Claudia Cackler. Grant work included repair and replacement of worn sections of the wooden shingle roof and the installation of new clapboard sid- ing in place of rotted portions. Newgullers and downspouts were installed to retard further roof deterioration, and the crumbling chimney was repaired. Exterior repainting restored the house to its 1878 appearance. The property is being used as a multifamily, owner -occupied house. Federal grant, $5,600. Castle on the Hill, Sioux City High School, Sioux City. The Castle on the Hill Association, made up of Sioux City resi- dents, implemented one phase of an ambitious reuse project of a massive 1891 masonry but ding, the former high school. A grant permitted the first steps toward rehabilitating the ground floor rooms. The building's antiquated healing system was replaced, the deteriorated roof was repaired, proper flashings were in- stalled, and broken, deteriorated windows were either fixed or re- placed. The "castle" is now well on its way toward becoming a self- supporting community center. Federal grant, $44,550. Fire Station #4, Des Moines. Another imaginative adaptive reuse idea was to convert a 1907 fire station (changed from horse-drawn to motor apparatus in 1919) into a meeting area for charitable organizations and an apart- ment for its owner, Reverend Chester Guinn, who won a legal contest to prevent the structure's demolition. The grant work in- cluded repair of the leaking roof, tuckpointing of the brick ex- terior, and reconstruction of the front arch entrance. Federal grant, $10,825. St. Paul's German Methodist Episcopal Church, Burlington. The Art Guild of Burlington, Inc., also has successfully accom- plished an adaptive reuse grant project. The work included tuckpointing the stone church, shingling part of the steeple, tower woodwork and general steeple repair, and laying new stone en- trance steps. The building contains an art exhibit, accommodates classes for various arts activities, and is proving to be an enduring community facility. Federal grant, $33,800. Old Mill House, Cody Road Historic District, Le Claire. The Cody Road district, in this Scott County town, calls to mind the steamboat era on the Mississippi River. Nineteenth-century owner). 1V. Van Sant, a pilot and captain, and Sam Van Sant lived here at the Old Mill House at a time when at least 20 steamboat captains resided in Le Claire. Sam Van Sant invented the stem wheel log rafting ship. Current owner Christopher Enscy has re- habilitated the 1852 house by repairing and rebuilding the win- dows using original glazing patterns and mullions, and re -siding the house with the original size clapboard. It now houses an apart- ment, the owner's real estate office, and a community art gallery. Federal grant, $5,126. Former U.S. Post Office, Senior Citizens Center, Iowa City. The city of lova City acquired and converted the 1909 post office into a multipurpose senior citizens center. This imaginative and highly successful project has made the facility useful once again. The old post office section now serves as administrative offices, cafeteria, meeting and recreation areas, a medical office for the res- idents, and other related functions. The building has undergone extensive masonry restoration, and the deteriorated roof was re- placed with a new one of sheet metal. Doors and windows were replaced or repaired, and the interior lobby was restored. The di- rector of the senior citizens center now occupies the postmaster's old office. An adjoining addition holds the living quarters for senior citizens.

Preservation efforts in Iowa in the past year have yielded a number of survey and planning studies. Although planners for each project faced situations as unique as each community or locale, all studies focused on increasing sensitivity, to preservation in community development. Among division -assisted projects aimed at neighborhood, community, or regional preservation, six this past year were of particular note. Davenport Community leadership has initialed some creative preserva- tion -related activities in this Mississippi River town. Already Davenport has 14 structures listed on the National Register and one National Register district, the Village of East Davenport. In an effort to identify all of its cultural resources, the city of Davenport, with division cosponsorship, hired Marlys Svendsen to conduct a historic sites survey. The results of Svendsen's survey are near- ing completion, and Davenport will be able to further boast its proud heritage through a publication due lhisyear. Already the survey has inspired the city to promote and protect its own historic resources. Por example, the 1895 city hall was re- stored and the city converted the historic Collins House into a senior citizens center. Also by incorporating the views of the city's historic preservation planner into Davenport's environmental re- view procedures, the inadvertent destruction of identified histori- cal properties from new development will be avoided. Civic lead- ers have also decided to spend a portion of their Community De- velopment Block Grant funds to NAp low-income owners of his- torical buildings. Already, about 30 homeowners have received grants of approximately $1,000 each for exterior facade improve- ments including 16 which were awarded in 1981. Other stimulants for preservation include city encouragement for private owners to take advantage of the 1981 tax act incentives. These and many otheraclivities have taken place largelyas a result of thesurvey. Dubuque Lower Main Street Project Another Mississippi River town with a very successful preserva- tionprogram is the city of Dubuque. With division assistance the city unveiled a planning and design study this past fall for the preservation of the Lower Main Street Historic District. This study represents a concerted community effort to invest in its own older buildings. Specific design concepts and recommendations for the revitalization of Dubuque's original commercial area have been formulated. The recommendations stress private sector ap- proaches to preservation in light of the shrinking availability of state and federal grant assistance. Urban planning consultant Bruce Kriviskey is the author of the report which is entitled "His- toric Preservation Planningand Design Study." Iowa City North Side Survey This past summer the city of Iowa City's planning staff, with the division's cooperation, began an intensive survey including photo documentation and local historical research covering the north side neighborhood. This area of town exemplifies much of lova City's diverse ethnic heritage, a heritage ranging from Czechs, PreservinrtIowa's Historic Resources through Community and Neighborhood Conservation Germans, and other central and eastern European nationalities. An attempt was made to define the borders of part of the north side called Gooselown. Although intended to last only through the summer, the survey continued last fall in order to survey other parts of the city, such as the college town area. Iowa City has established a task force composed of citizens, local historians, and appointees from city departments to oversee the writing of a historic district ordinance and to explore the possibil- ity of fostering private rehabilitation work. The task force will also attempt to establish a revolving fund loan program for homeown- ersand to introduce other protective measures for historic proper- ties such as demolition regulations and building improvement permits. In all, the survey lists fourteen hundred structures. A multiple - resource National Register nomination was prepared for the most important structures in the north side. CIRALG Historical Survey and Outreach Program The Central Iowa Regional Association of Local Governments (CIRALG), an eight -county areawide planning agency based in Des Moines, printed a study discussing its [hive -year architectural and historical sites survey of those counties served by CIRALG (Boone, Dallas, Madison, Story, Polk, Warren, Jasper, and Mar- ion). This study, written by Barbara Beving Long, is called "Home- town Architecture: Changes in Central Iowa Towns and Farms." It summarizes the largest survey of its kind ever conducted in Iowa. (A separate report covering the archaeological survey is being prepared.) It is a fine educational document which traces the history of central Iowa through its built environment. That is, Long discusses the region's various building types in relation to major historical trends. In all, about ten thousand buildings were identified in both surveys. The purpose of the survey and book was to simplify the proce- dures for environmental impact statements in the region by allow- ing the CIRALG and Division of Historic Preservation staff to rap- idly locale in its files those culturally or historically significant stmclures j:�opardized by federally funded projects. The book also has been used to encourage preservation efforts in the approxi- mately one hundred communities served in the CIRALG region. A historical overview can now be easily incorporated into future community or regional planning documents. Area XV Regional Planning Agency Cultural Resources Survey Year three of this five-year multidisciplinary survey and out- reach program has just been completed. It is being conducted by another areawide planning organization, Area XV, which is lo- cated in Ottumwa in southeastern Iowa. The counties surveyed or partially surveyed include Van Buren, Lucas, Jefferson, Mahaska, Wayne, and Appanoose. Those remaining to be surveyed include Davis, Keokuk, and Wapello counties. The Area XV survey staff, headed by archaeologist Anion Till, is contacting county conserva- lion boards, schools, and other groups in an effort to make the sur- vey more widely known in the region. Staff members have made numerous presentations to various organizations with the result that enthusiasm is building as the survey continues.

These incentives compose part of the Economic Recovery Act of 1961 (Public Law 97-34). They represent significant revisions to the historic preservation tax incentives which were first authorized by Congress in the Tax Reform Act of 1976. The new provisions, known as the investment tax credit (ITC), are designed to stimulate capital investment in historic buildings and neighborhoods. The incentives should also provide impetus for the identification and designation of individual his- toric buildings, historic commercial districts, and residential neighborhoods. Investment Tax Credit for Qualified Rehabilitation Effective Januar' 1, 1962, the new ITC applied to "qualified re- habilitation" only, and is structured as follows: Tax Credits Eligible Properties 25 percent of rehabilitation All "certified historic slruc- cosls reduced from the amount tures" including commercial, of taxes owed, plus accelerated industrial, and rental residen- 15-year straight-line deprecia- tial buildings.

Residen- tial rentals not included. What Investment Tax Incentives Mean This type of lax incentive is subtracted directly from taxes due. It encourages investments because property owners are entitled to an immediate dollar -for -dollar recovery of expenses for sub- stantial rehabilitation work. Two points to remember in consider. ing this incentive: (1) a qualified rehabilitation must be under- taken, that is, a building in use before the rehabilitation began which retains at least 75 percent of the existing exterior walls; (2) the costs of the rehabilitation must be greater than the "adjusted basis" to qualify as substantial. "Adjusted basis" includes the value of the building (exclusive of the value of the land) plus im- provements. Allowable rehabilitation time is normally two years, but in some instances can be extended to 60 months. What Accelerated Depreciation Means Depreciation refers to the loss in value of a business investment properly from age and use. Formerly, a property owner could de- duct this loss in value (based upon an IRS determination) as a busi- ness expense. The Economic Recovery Act has substituted this with the Accelerated Cost Recovery System which is applicable to both new and old buildings. This system permits the recovery of capital costs, using straight-line or accelerated methods over a 15. year period. This can be extended to a 35- or 45 -year period if de- sired. Examples In the case of a $100,000 certified rehabilitation, $25,000 (or 25%) may be deducted from taxes owed under the ITC. In addition, the full $100,000 of rehabilitation expenditure can be depreciated for a historic structure. The procedure is similar in the case of those using the 20 percent or 15 percent credit for rehabilitation. The only difference is that the value of (lie ITC cannot be depreciated. Only the amount remaining after the lax deduction can be depre- ciated. Hence, a $100,000 rehabilitation of a 40 -year-old building can deduct $20,000 (207) for the ITC, but only $60,000 can be de- preciated. What Buildings Qualify Under current law, an owner may qualify for the 25 percent ITC if the properly is a "Certified Historic Structure." This may be achieved if the building is on the National Register of Historic Places or is included in a National Register of Historic Places dis- trict or a locally certified historic district. Properties in these dis- tricts must be certified as contributing to the significance of the dis- trict. All historic rehabilitation work under this 25 percent category must be reviewed and approved by the Iowa Division of Historic Preservation and the Department of the Interior. This article is intended to give the reader a general notion of the lax benefits designed to encourage historic preservation. It is not an inclusive summary of the act. For questions or further informa- tion, contact the division. The 1981 Tax Act: A Developer's View Ralph Gross The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1961 may be the best historic preservation legislation of the past ten years perhaps ever. In the past most preservation projects in Iowa were undertaken in the name of aesthetics, architecture, and cultural heritage. Seldom was investment economics considered. When it was, it became clear that preservation projects had a difficult time from a tax standpoint, competing in the marketplace for developers' dollars against new construction. Herein lies the tax act's significance— historic preservation now not only makes economic sense, it can be competitive with new construction. What the act has done is to eliminate the tax distinction between new and existing real estate. Now they are treated equally. The act does this most importantly by producing a 25 percent investment tax credit for rehabilitation of depreciable historic properties un- dergoing certified rehabilitation. For a developer of residential and/or commercial property listed on the National Register, the act will have va rying effect upon future preservation activities. Development Potential The previous tax law (prior to January 1, 1962) allowed owners to, over a 60 -month period, write off as depreciation theircertified rehabilitation costs—a tax shelter that fostered investment. With the reduction in the maximum lax rate from 70 percent to 50 per- cent, however, the appeal of tax shelters has reduced, and inves- tors have become increasingly interested in projects that show promise of large cash returns before taxes. Thus, residential prop- erty, which historically has had lowercash return than commercial properties, will most likely be the second choice of developers. (Residential properly lends to be less flexible to changing economic conditions.) Conversely, commercial structures located in historic districts will be prime development targets under the new late. In addition, there may be increased pressure to convert residential property to commercial use in order to provide for a cash Row before the tax advantage is realized. Project Financing The financial markets have undergone a revolution during the past three years. The once reliable fixed-rate mortgage may be gone forever. The traditional sources of financing large projects, insurance companies and pension funds, are frequently demand- ing part ownership as a condition to making a fixed rale invest- ment in order to have a hedge against subsequent inflation and ris- ing interest rates. This forces the developer, in part, to become a "builder fora fee."Savings banks, commercial banks, and savings and loan institutions are also coping with future uncertainties by writing shorter and shorter mortgage instruments with (Gnuinurdrn page 16) 70V 111CR0f ILI.110 fir' JORM MICROLAB CCOAlt ROM% • PES'V)INES Good Despite rumors gram is alive, well lions.

The last several months have been ones of change and trans- ition for the popular program, but it now appears to be gearing up for increased activity. Several problems had hampered Iowa's pro- gram since August 1979, when the division lost its authority to em- ploy a full-time coordinator for the program. The person had been responsible for handling inquiries, doing additional research when necessary, and generally shepherding nominations through the various hurdles required to get a property enrolled on the Na- tional Register of Historic Places. Consequently a large backlog of nominations accumulated in division files. In recent months how- ever, the staff, with able assistance from various quarters, has cleared up much of the backlog. This spring the division will be hiring a National Register coordinator, enabling us to handle an anticipated higher volume of nominations in a more timely fash- ion. The National Register program has also been hampered by changes at the federal level. When Congress reauthorized the his- toric preservation program in the fall of 1980, the new law con- tained a provision requiring owner concurrence before a privately owned property could be nominated and listed on the register. Be- cause of the need to rewrite existing regulations due to this change, the National Register office in Washington imposed a freeze on all nominations of privately owned properties. What originally had been proposed as a two-month hiatus soon turned intoa year-long one. Due to the change in administrations, there was a freeze on federal role making, the dissolution of the Heri- AdairCounty Adair County Courthouse, Greenfield Appanoose County Appanoose County Courthouse, Centerville Boone County Boone CountyCourlhouse, tloone Calhoun Counly Calhoun County Courthouse, Rockwell City Chickasaw County Chickasaw County Courthouse, New Hampton Claycounty Clay County Courthouse, Spencer Clinton County Clinton County Courthouse, Clinton Delmar Calaboose, Vane Street, Delmar Crawford Counly Crawford County Courthouse, Denison DecaturCounly Decatur County Courthouse, Leon Delaware County Delaware County Courthouse, Manchester Dickinson County Dickinson County Courthouse, Spirit Lake Fayette County Fayette County Courthouse, West Union Franklin Counly Maysville School, Geneva vidnily Fremont County Fremont Counly Courlhouse, Sidney GrundyCounly Grundy County Courthouse, Grundy Center Hancock Counly Ilancock County Courthouse, Garner 1lardin County Hardin County Courthouse, Eldora Alden Public Library, Alden I larrison Counly Harrison County Courthouse, Logan tage Conservation and Recreation Service and the return of its pro- grams to the National Park Service. Finally, late in November 1981, the necessary regulations were promulgated, and we were allowed to forward nominations for privately owned properties to Washington again. Due to the freeze on nominations, the only Iowa buildings en- tered on the Register in 1981 were structures owned by local gov- ernments. The new entries included a public library, two jails, a school, an opera house, a combination city hall -fire station, and 50courthouses. The listing of the courthouses was particularly satisfying for the division. Initialed and largely completed by Martha Sowers before she left the division in 1980, these buildings were nominated not individually but as thematic resource group. The group nomina- tion, which was the outgrowth of a statewide survey of lova courthouses, included 71 buildings erected between 1850 and 1930. Twenty-one courthouses were already listed on the National Register, either individually oras apart of historic districts. Iowa's county courthouses are the physical manifestation of the growth, development, and continuing vitality of county government in the stale. They achieve local significance both as historical symbols and, in many instances, as important architectural elements with- in their counties and communities. Scattered broadly across the state, these buildings represent architectural styles ranging from the Greek Revival to Art Deco/Moderne, with most examples being from the Romanesque Revival, Neoclassical Revival, and Beaux Arts.

Pacific Short Line Bridge. (Sioux City Combination Bridge) Sioux City, Woodbury County. Built in 1896, the 1,900 -foot bridge represented a crown. ing nineteenth-century engineering achievement. The Pacific Short Line was the second bridge to carry railroad lrafficat Sioux City across the Missouri River into Nebraska. Asa combination bridge, it served the dual function of hold- ing horses and pedestrians in addition to railroads. It was designed by the world famous engineer, John A. L. Wad- dell. The bridge was demolished in 1980 and replaced with a modern bridge nearby. For more information on the bridge, see "Spanning the Missouri," the Palinilsesi, Janu- ary/February 1981. Kilbourn Methodist Church. Kilbourn, Van Buren County. The Area XV Regional Planning Commission cultural re- sources survey identified this structure as one of the most architecturally significant buildings in Kilbourn. Its well- proportioned frame design lent an air of restraint and quiet elegance. Triangular pedimenled windows, fishscale shingling and the central spire composed the major visual elements. In 1980 the owners deemed the 1889 church a fire hazard and proceeded to dismantle it. Andrew F. Cassel House. Lockridge Township, Jefferson County Built in the 1860s, this farm residence stood as a proud re- minder of the first Swedish settlement in the United States. Peter Cassel, Andrew's father, led the migration to Jeffer- son County in 1845 which became known as New Sweden. Like his fabler, Andrew became an influential leader in the region.

A 1916 Wallace's Farm- er called it "one of the neatest and best barns" they had in- spected. The barn burned to lheground in April 1981. Volunteer Fire Department Engine House 1208 First Street, Perry, Dallas County. Fund raising and the construction of this 1905 brick struc- ture was an exclusively local endeavor. Perry citizens do- nated money; and the firemen made the tvindows and sash. The tall, polygonal hose -drying tower was its most notable feature. The fire house acquired National Register status in 1978. Two years later the First National Bank of Perry outbid a local group dedicated to saving the building and de- molished it to make way for a parking lot and a small green space. Banker's Trust Building. 605 Locust Street, Des Moines, Polk County. The Banker's Trust Building ranked as one of the state's most striking commercial landmarks. Built in Romanesque Revival style, it called attention to the influence of one of America's foremost architects, Henry Hobson Richardson, whose buildings popularized this style. Unfortunately, ef- forts by various Des Moines groups failed to save the 1911 structure from demolition. It was razed in 1980. A nonde- script replica of lheadjacent Roan Cenlersits in its place.

JORM MICROLAO 70 el io y� 1 TIQ Prairie Style Houses in Al art ha Bowels Among the more recent N.ahonaI Regis ler entries from Iowa are H houses in Mason CRY that represent a cross section of Prairie School, and Prairie School -influenced, residential architecture outside the Ruck Crest/Ruck Glen Historic District (see the spring 1980 Bracket), One Frank Lloyd Wright designed, and another is the work of a %\'right sludcnt, %Villianh Drummond. The remaining dozen, built between 1912 and 1922, illustrate, in their varied forms and levels of sophistication, the significant impact of Frank Lloyd Wright and the prairie School on local Mason City builders, archilecls, a nd Iheirclienls. (photos by Ronald Schmilt) William Drummond's Yelland house (37 River I leights Drive) was clearly the model for an unknown architect's Gibson house (1 14 Fourth Street NW). Similarities include second -stun' winduW placement, treatment of the front porch, and the framing of the side entrance between square posts and sidelights. Mason City architect Einar Oroaten's Meir Wolf house (811 North Adams) is most distinctive. Note the applied geometric or- nament and curious "pincers" at the corners of the roof. The Franke house (320 First Street SE) (architect unknown) pre- sents a rather severe appearance due to the removal of its original wide, overhanging roof. However, the overall form, window dec- oration, and arrangement are in keeping with common Prairie Style usage. Frank Lloyd Wright's Stockman house (311 First Street SE) was based upon his "fireproof house for 55,000" featured in the April 1907issue of the Ladies f tome(ownnf. Its form, roof, shape, window treatment, and emphasis on the corners through the application of Oat wood strips arc all distinctive features of Wright's work al this time. They are also found in many other prairie Style houses in Mason Ci tv. Senior/A71er1Volf House, 811 North Adams ? T: IL C. F.

Although the designer(s) is unknown, the Shipley and Youngblood houses (114 Third Street NW, 36 Oak Drive) have many things in comnnun. Note the nearly square main block, with low projections to each side. Second -story windows are located near the corners, while those of the first story are grouped in a band in the centerof the facade. Chris Rve, like Einar limalen, was a native of Norway. A local builder, Rve worked on a nu mber of Prairie Style houses in ,Mason City, including the Norris/Patton house (108 Fourth Street NE). The slvle seemed to appeal to him—he designed and built the house un the right (630 East State) for himsel f in 1912. Mason City builder Fred Lippert's duplexes are perhaps the simplest and most utilitarian of this group. But their Prairie Style origins are evident: Inv, spreading roo(lines, and second -story windows tucked high beneath the eaves (122-4 North Madison; 404.12 First Street NW; 687.91 East Slate). Fred Lippert built the Romey house (428 First Street SE) from designs by A. Felt, a Kansas City architect who worked briefly in Mason City after World War I. This house is unusual in that the exterior is wholly of brick, and, apart from the wooden trellis on one side, displays none of the ornament or detail characteristic of so many of Mason City's Prairie Style houses. esir F.

The project -called 'Iowa Architecture'—was sponsored by the Division of Historic Preservation and the Iowa Humanities Board, a state program of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Architectural photographer Gerald Mansheim served as project director and produced three slide -cassette shows presenting the rich variety of Iowa architecture. Visuals were chosen not only for their architectural and historical value, but also on their aesthetic merit. Both modern photographs and copies of historic pictures were used. Most of the larger cities in Iowa and nearly all of the counties are represented. The scripts, which were written by Man- sheim, emphasize bath the merits of modern architecture and the importance of preserving older structures. The three slide -cassette shows prepared for the project deal with different approaches to Iowa architecture. The first show de- picts. Iowa architecture in a historical context—early settlement through the present. The second deals with architectural types, styles, and materials. The third concerns itself with historic preser- vation in Iowa. It deals with buildings that have been lost, threatened, and saved, and individual buildings that have been restored. A total of approximately 1,450 persons attended the free public performances given in Ames, Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Decorah, Des Moines, Dubuque, Fort Dodge, Iowa CityKeokuk, Marshalltown, Mason City, Muscatine, and Sioux City. At each program, one or more of the slide shows was presented and a lecture was given by a historian or an expert on historic preservation. Adrian D. Anderson, state historic preservation officer for Iowa, served as one of 12 advisers to the project. He also spoke at the Fort Dodge presentation. He thanked the members of the audi- ence who had participated in preservation work in that city and encouraged others to do so. He discussed the responsibilities of his office and the special work in preservation that needs to be done in Iowa. His aims are ecological, especially in terms of pre- serving our cultural resources and the energy embodied in exist- ing buildings. His goals are not to preserve just a few excellent ex- amples of historic architecture in this state, but to give Iowans the help they need to save their material culture. Other members of the Division of Historic Preservation staff participated in the pro- gram. Elizabeth Voss served as assistant project directorand proj- ect secretary. Ralph Christian, Lowell Soike, and Jack Lufkin par- ticipated as advisers. Buildings which are themselves architecturally significant hosted three of the performances. Shows were given in the Old Jail Gallery, an Egyptian Revival style jail in Dubuque; in the Des Moines Public Library, which is in the Classical Revival style; and in the Woodbury County Courthouse in Sioux City, which is one of the largest public buildings ever built in the Prairie School style. Many of the programs were also given in art centers, some of which arranged exhibitson architectural themes. Two articles were published in connection with the project. A 12 -page article about the Woodbury County Courthouse, entitled "William Steel's Silent Music," appeared in the March/April 1981 Palimpsest, the popular history magazine of the State Historical So- ciety of lova. Gerald Mansheim provided the photographs for the article. William Silag, editor of the palimpsest and one of the partici- pants in the "Iowa Architecture" project wrote the text. The June 28,1981, Des Moines Sunday Register's Picture Magazine ran an arti- cle and color photographs by Gerald Mansheim entitled "Tire Prairie School in Iowa." Gerald Mansheim has been photographing the architecture of Iowa and the Midwest for more than 20 years, with particular em- phasis on the Prairie School movement. He conceived the "Iowa Architecture" project as a means of making information and visual materials on architecture available to the adult general public. He feels that architecture has been neglected—perhaps because it is not taught in the schools—but that it should receive the same rec- ognition as other fine arts, such as painting, sculpture, and music. He also believes that as we are planning to conserve natural re- sources, we should devote more thought to the preservation of cultural resources. Some of the most distinguished buildings in Iowa are featured in the shows, for instance, the Woodbury County Courthouse; the bank by Louis Sullivan in Grinnell; the Blythe and Melson houses in Mason City; the Langworthy octagon house in Dubuque; the Old Dubuque County Jail; the Valley National Bank of Des Maines; the Episcopal Church in Davenport; the Walter housL, Quasquelon designed by Frank Lloyd Wright; the Creston Depot; the Grotto of the Redemption, West Bend; the Onawa Public Li- brary; Old Capitol in Iowa City; and the Eagle Point Park Complex, Dubuque. Although the schedule of public programs has been completed, copies of the three slide -cassette shows have been donated to vari- ous Iowa organizations and are available for loan.

Brucemore, Iowa's First National Trust Property PS';Sy Whitworth Brucemore, the estate of the ]ale Margaret and Howard Hall in Cedar Rapids, became the newest property of the National Trust for Historic preservation in July 1981. It is the first properly in Imva owned by the National Trust, and one of the few in the Midwest. Operated on a coslewardship basis, Brucemore is managed by a board of trustees comprised of Cedar Rapids community leaders. The National Trust provides the board with technical expertise. Unlike other Trust properties, Brucemore is being operated as a community center rather than as a house museum. Contemporaries described the 1885 Queen Anne style mansion as "the finest house west of Chicago." The original 11 -acre estate now contains a formal garden, orchard, duck pond, swimming pool, and six outbuildings on the 26 -acre grounds. Designed by the Cedar Rapids architectural firm of Josselyn and Taylor for T. M. Sinclair (a Cedar Rapids meat packing plant operator), the mansion has 2l major rooms plus an attic and basement. Until 1906, when the Sinclairs traded houses with the George 13. Douglas family who had been living al800Second Avenue, the estate was known as the Sinclair Mansion. The Dougland nd their three daughters, Margaret, Ellen, and Barbaro, made several changes in the mansion, including moving the main entrance from the north to the south side of the house, and adding butternut paneling and ceili ng beams on the main floor. During this lime the estate became known as Brucemore. The first time Douglas saw the estate, he was reminded of the moors in Scotland, his home- land. lie combined his middle name with a changed spelling of moor to form the name Brucemore. Al the time of Mrs. Douglas' dealh in 1937, the eldest daughter, Margaret, and her husband, !inward (tall, a well-known businessman and philanthropist, moved into the mansion. Mrs. Hall lived at Brucemore until her death in March of 1981. There- fore, only two families a ctually lived in the home in the nearlyone hundred ymrs of Brucemore's life. It was Mrs. Hall's desire that the estate remain intact and be used by the people of th3.,KVa. Based on this wish, she considered severaj options before oequest to the National Trust. Along with the estate, she generously left an endowment to provide for its basic operationand maintenance. Since July the board has been managing the transition of Bruce - more from private estate to public facility. Ranging from better traffic and parking arrangements to fire safely to lighting the grounds, the process will be carried out over a five-year period. Although the estate is not vel fully operational as a community cultural center, thousands have already loured the mansion and grounds, and a total of 18 events took place the first 20 days of De- cember. The number of visitors and events probably will increase during the spring and summer when the grounds and gardens make Brucemore even more active. At all times the board of trustees and staff are sensitive to Bruce- more's visual and historic integrity. Hence, any alterations are made with theapproval of the National Trust architect. Rooms on the second and third floors will be adapted as meeting rooms and office space for nonprofit groups. Brucemore is in the heart of Cedar Rapids, but it maintains re- markable sense of distance from the city. This makes the estate an especially attractive location for conferences and seminars held by institutions and businesses. In Mrs. Hall's will, civic, charitable, educational, religious, and scientific organizations were men- tioned specifically as appropriate to hold events at Brucemore. Through the current membership campaign, provisions were made to allow use of the estate by businesses. Brucemore, as seen from one of Cedar Rapids's busiest streets, has long been a source of curiosity to passersby. With its new life, the Board of Trustees of Brucemore, Inc. and the National Trust for Historic preservation both hope that Brucemore will serve as a catalyst for other preservation projects in eastern Iowa. Tours of the estate are arranged by appointment. For informa- tion on tours or use of the estate, call (319)362-6652. Historic Preservation Workshop in Cedar Rapids on May 3-4,1982 An intensive "hands-on" workshop is being planned at Bruce - more, in Cedar Rapids, in connection with the national Historic Preservation Week, May 34, 1982. The workshop is organized by Architecture Extension of the Iowa State University, and cosponsored by the Brucemore Board of Directors and the Iowa Division of Historic Preservation, in cooperation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Association for Preservation Technology. The workshop program will include detailed studies of the buildings and landscaping at the site, and instruction in tech- nologies pertaining to preservation of exterior and interior mate- rials, use of photography and measuring techniques in preserva- tion, and financing and management of historic properties. In- structors will include naliona]Iyand regionally known specialists. The workshop is intended for both general public and profes- sionals, and work sessions will be tailored to the intergsls of the participants.

Arts Council Plans Folk Arts Exhibit The Iowa Arts Council is now in the process of assembling mate- rial for a set of exhibits celebrating the diverse folk arts of Iowa. These exhibits will offer the best available works representing the many cultural traditions of the slate. The council invites interested persons to inform folklorist Ste- ven Ohm of folk art in private or public collections. Steven also is compiling a list of living folk artists whose work may be consid- ered for inclusion in the proposed exhibits. To be considered for the arts council's exhibit, an object should have been made by (rand primarily for the aesthetic satisfaction and delight of its maker and audience. The exhibit will be limited to arts learned traditionally, thereby excluding arts and crafts revived by institu- tional classes and pattern books. The arts council is also seeking photographs of folk art and art- ists. In addition to the exhibit and listing, the arts council plans to enlist persons knowledgeable about various arts and crafts who may serve as advisers to this project and appreciates suggestions. Anyone wishing to participate in this discovery process will as- sist the Imva Arts Council by sending the following information: —Name of Artist or Collector —Address and Telephone —Description of Objecl(s) (material, form, how made, and size) —A photograph or slide would be very helpful.

They are Montauk, the one-time home of William Lar- rabee who was governor of Iowa from 1886 to 1890; the Union Sun- day School, which was built in 1857, and the Clermont Museum, a small school museum which was established in 1912. A portion of their current operating funds has been made available through a grant from the Institute of Museum Services, a federal agency that offers operating and program support to the nation's museums. Al Montauk, the William Larrabee papers have been cataloged and are available to qualified researchers by appointment. This collection includes letters from 1854 to 1912, Mr. Larrabee's diary from the 1850s, copies of his many speeches, and other documents relating to business ventures and politics of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The restoration of the Union Sunday School organ, a Kimball tubular pneumatic pipe organ, which was installed in 1886, has been successfully completed with the aid of a grant from the fed- eral government and a gift from the Larrabec family. This rare type of organ has received much attention from the public. The most notable events were the well -attended Artists Series of recitals sponsored by the Clermont Historical Society with nine perfor- mances to date. Recitalists have conte from Iowa, neighboring stales, and one from Spain. The Clermont Museum was established in the Clermont Public School in 1912, a gift from the Larrabee family to the local commu- nity. Mr. Larrabee fell that leachers should have tangible objects to illustrate points relating to history, art, and the sciences. One of the nine classrooms in the school was designated a museum, furnished with artifacts donated by the Larrabee family and friends. In 1970 the school officials fell that it was not serving a use- ful purpose and that the space could be better used as a classroom. At this time, Mrs. A. W. Allen of Cedar Rapids purchased the former Citizens Slate Bank Building in Clermont and the museum was moved to that location. In 1976 the Clermont Museum was given to the stale of Iowa by the Larrabee family. Today it serves about 50 Iowa schools each year. In addition to the cases of ar- lifacls which are exhibited as they were in 1912; a small special exhibit arca is reserved for an interpretive exhibit which is changed each year. The theme for 1981 was "The Louisiana Pur- chase." In 1982 Montauk will be open every day from 12:00 noon In 5:00 p.m., except Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 'Memorial Day weekend until mid-October. The Clermont Museum will be open weekends and holidays from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. The Union Sunday recitals are held on the last Sunday afternoon of each month at 2:30 p.m. from February through October.

National Trumnounces Major Cutbacks and Campaign against Administration Historic Preservation Policies Washington, D.C., January 18, 1982—Responding to antici- pated administration attempts to eliminate future preservation funding and a reduction in its fiscal year 1982 matching grant from file Department of Interior, Michael L. Ainslie, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, announced today that its board of trustees has cut its current programs by Sl million. Two properties of the National Trust, Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, N.Y., and Cliveden in Philadelphia, are being closed to daily visi- tors. The federal cutback will mean a reduction of 21 full-time staff, a significant decrease in membership development efforts, and a curtailment of support to historic preservation education pro- grams at elementary and high schools, colleges, and universities. The two National Trust properties in Washington, D.C., Decatur house and Woodrow Wilson house, are being closed to daily visi- tors until March. The National Trust's library, an important source of information and assistance, is under review and might also be closed to the public. In a related move, the board of trustees look action to retain his- toric preservation as a national priority and to oppose furthercuts in the federal budget for historic preservation and housing and urban development programs which support preservation goals. Al a December 17, 1981, meeting Secretary of the Interior James G. Wall told Trust management there would be zero funding for the National Trust and the stales' historic preservation programs which support the National Register of Historic Places. Citing the Trust's responsibility to provide strong leadership for the historic preservation movement during this critical period, the board ap- proved an aggressive campaign against current preservation poli- cies of the adminislralion, particularly the Department of Interior. "The public's interest in our historic heritage is being hurl by these cuts, not just the National Trust, said Mr. Ainslie. "For over 30 years, the National Trust has been working to protect America's heritage, its historic properties, neighborhoods, cities, and rural communities, and to involve all segments of American society in this effort. At a time when preservation has proven itself to be a practical solution to problems of unemployment, poor housing, energy conservation, blighted and depressed inner cities and small towns, and given the potential for using the new rehabilita- tion tax incentives, these cuts are especially painful. The trust's ability to inform and involve the private sector is being seriously compromised; the National Register of Historic Places' nomina- tion and lax certification processes are being seriously threatened by culling off funds to the stales. When historic buildings are lost, our communities and our future are that much poorer," Mr. Ainslie continued. The National Trust is the only national private, nonprofit mem- bership organization dedicated to the protection of the country's historic and architectural heritage. It was chartered by Congress in 1949 and charged with the responsibility of encouraging the public's participation in the preservation of architecturally and historically significant buildings and districts from America's past. The Historic Preservation Fund was established by Congress in 1976 with income from fees charged for offshore oil leases. The fund provides matching grants to the National Trust, and to all 50 slates and U.S. territories to survey districts, buildings, and sites for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, to maintain and rehabilitate historic properties, and to educate and inform the public. The federal partnership for historic preservation dales back to 1966 when Congress first appropriated funds for the Na- tional Trusl and the slates. The administration proposed the total elimination of the state grant-in-aid program in FY -1982 which had been $27.8 million in FY -1981. For FY -1982, Congress restored $21 million for the states and $4.4 for t he Na tional Tnrst. I41 CROP ILI4fD ii JORM MICROLAS CEf1,1R RAPIDS • 0!5 '401'IE°, 70T J_ r L Preservo, on Makes Good Sens*n Opinion At the request of the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, the Public Administration Service recently printed an issue paper on federalism and preservation prepared by Robert R. Fredlund, director of the Task Force on Federalism and Preservation. The Public Administration Service is a nonprofit organization dedi- cated to public sector improvement. The following excerpts are re- sponses to questions raised in light of funding cutbacks and in view of concerns for hose to meet federal and stale preservation needs in the context of the Reagan administration's "New Federalism." Federalism and the National Preservation Program Federalism is a concept as old as our nation and as current as today's newspaper. The idea that the proper level of government should be responsible for the appropriate level of activities cur- rently is beingexamined throughout government. The national preservation program should be made an impor- tant aspect of this reevaluation. This new look at federalism and preservation is even more timely, because of the recently enacted 1980 amendments to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966... Why Preservation Makes Good Sense in Today's Setting First, historic preservation stresses the wise and effective reuse of existing resources. Making full and effective use of what we al- ready have certainly is an important theme of the administration. Despite this emphasis, 620,000 housing units are lost each year to demolition and decay. It is estimated that 24 million properties exist today which were built prior to 1939, properties which could add significantly to our nation's building stock. Instead, $.62 of every building dollar goes to replacing rather than strengthening our existing built environment. With building starts at under 1 mil- lion this year, it is obvious that preservation could provide a vital resource to our nation. Second, historic preservation can be a vital tool in helping to cope with the critical issue of disappearing farm- lands. Significant amounts of America's prime farmland are being sacrificed yearly for urban expansion. Farms are being covered over by new housing developments built to replace outmoded homes in town. Pastures are replaced by shopping centers built to substitute for decaying and abandoned stores in the city center. By emphasizing continued use and revitalization of the existing built environment, prime farmland can be maintained in corn or wheat, not in trailer houses. Increasingly, communities are dis- covering that wise land use is not a haphazard matter to be left to chance. By carefully evaluating the land and its capabilities, the community and its needs, it is possible to determine the best use for the -component parts of a town. Putting crops where they will grow and buildings where they will not, is one aspect of this. Third, historic preservation can contribute to alleviation of our energy problems. Recent studies by the council show that renova- tion is far more energy efficient than new construction. This is especially true when one figures into the equation the embodied energy of a historic building—Ilse energy required for the original manufacture and transportation of materials and for the construc- tion of lire slmclUre—and the energy required for demolition. Ad- ditionally, structures built before the days of "cheap energy" gen- erally incorporate such passive solar systems for energy conserva- tion as attention to exposure, recessed windows, and thick walls. Active use of the central city consolidates activities, eliminating the waste of gasoline on long trips to distant shopping and work. Sewer, water, and transportation systems all are expensive and necessary adjuncts of urban expansion. However, by depending upon existing structures, one can rely upon existing utilities, elim- inating that problem and expense. On the other hand, by not ex- panding utilities, one avoids needless expansion and urban sprawl. Fourth, preservation makes economic sense. Buildings gener- ally can be renovated more cheaply than they can be built. Struc- tures that are renovated have far higher property value than those that are decaying. Communities that have been revitalized are economically more stable than those that are not. Additionally, renovation is highly labor intensive. In rehabilita- tion projects, 75 percent of the investment is in labor costs, as op- posed to 50 percent in new construction. That is money that stays in the local economy. Towns benefit, too, as historic structures are improved, occupied, and made profitable, for increased value generally means increased properly tax revenues to the local gov- ernment. Renovation requires far less time than new construction from initiation to occupancy. Often, buildings can be used during renovation. This constitutes an important savings to business and homeowners. Fifth, preservation is a way for people to have more localconlrol over their lives and communities, and to reduce federal involve- ment. Historic preservation is traditionally, and by its very nature, a local concern. It is the grass-roots interest in saving a significant local building, monument, or prehistoric site that gives historic preservation its momentum and its energy. New uses, protection, and interpretation of historic and prehistoric sites have been shown many times over to be of substantial economic benefit to whole communities from attracting tourists to attracting industry. Many of the problems today associated with urban and rural decay both stem from and result in a sense of anomie among residents of communities. As the feeling of neighborhood disappears and involvement in the community dwindles, crime increases. Numerous examples have shown that revitalization inspires com- munity pride, with attendant increase in involvement, self-re- spect, and concern for neighborhood, and significant decrease in crime. .. Thus, the current national preservation program was founded on a philosophy of federalism. In fact, it might even be considered a model for federalism, and much of the benefit ac- crued from the program today, is in keeping with this philosophy. The 1980 amendments strongly reaffirmed and extended this bipartisan federalism philosophy and strengthened its application by broadening the roles of stale and local governments in the part- nership.

En- tered on the National Register in 1981, the 103 -year-old jail re- ceived a plaque identifying its historical importance. This struc- ture is an outstanding example of vernacular architecture, the di- mensions of which are formidable: ten by twelve, eight feet high, with sandstone walls nearly two feet thick. Apparently it functioned as a sort of "drunk tank." Delmar attracted saloon keepers and liquor dealers who maintained a thriving business serving construction and railroad workers. Town citizens de- manded the jail to assure public safety; inebriates were the usual residentsof lhecalaboose. Many of Delmar's leading residents attended the ceremony. Among them were Marie Farrell of the Clinton County Historical Society, State Representative Norman Goodwin, a Lions club rep- resentative, and two clergymen who gave the invocation and ben- ediction. The elementary school band played "The Star-Spangled Banner." Ralph Christian of the Division of Historic Preservation gavea dedication talkand unveiled the plaque. (Confirmed franinge3) Sherman Bill Historic District in Des Moines. The district is one of the city's oldest residential suburbs which has some of Des Moines' best examples of nineteenth- and twentieth-century ar- chitecture. In recent years the neighborhood has undergone significant so- cial and economic change as new residents move in who are inter- ested in reinvigorating its flavor and charm. A study entitled "Sherman Hill Doors to the Past, Windows to the Future" was de- signed to address problems arising from those changes. It is a mas- ter plan that identifies key historical architectural and physical at- tributes, suggests proposals for lire use of vacant land, and offers several design recommendations for the area's historical stmc- tures. The plan was prepared by Wehner, Nowysz, Paltschull and Pfiffner, architects. Historic 0, ' my Courthouse Exhibit Available Last year a thematic group nomination of county courthouses in Iowa was entered on the National Register of Historic Places. In all, 71 of the slate's 99 courthouses in use are now designated as historic sites. In commemoration of these remarkable treasures, the division has sponsored a traveling exhibit of county court- house architecture in Iowa. The paneled photographic exhibit points to significant qualities embodied in Iowa's historic court- houses, such as architectural detail, form, materials, and interior features. Dennetl Muessig & Associates, Ltd., of Iowa City, pre- pared the exhibit for the division. Plans are being made to show the exhibit at various locations throughout the stale in places such as courthouses, libraries, museums, and other public and private gathering places. Any party interested in a free loan of the exhibit should contact the divi- sion. Iowa Chapter, Victorian Society of America Patrice Kay Beam Preservation of historic buildings is one of the major purposes of the Iowa Chapter of the Victorian Society in America. Founded in November 1979, this organization expounds the virtues of the nineteenth century by fostering public appreciation, education, and understanding of the artistic expression of the era known as the Victorian Age (1837-1901). The Iowa chapter actively opposes the needless destruction of important architectural examples of the period and affords advice to owners and public authorities in regard to the preservation of Victorian buildings and the uses to which they can, if necessary, be adapted. The Iowa chapter also has a registered lobbyist at the stale capitol who keeps the organization abreast of preservation and historical related legislation. Another goal of the Iowa chapter is to work with other organiza- tions having similar purposes. This may entail letter writing cam- paigns, the supporting of preservation related programs, or donating to a worthwhile cause, such as the Hoyt Sherman Resto- ration Fund Drive. In November 1980, the Iowa chapter was awarded a grant by the Iowa Humanities Board and the NEH to produce a slide show with taped commentary entitled lorm's Victorian Architecture front the Civil Warta f heTurn of the Century. The main objective of this project was to develop sensitivity to the importance of preserving Iowa's Victorian past. A copy of this program, which has thus far been shown to 20 historical related groups and viewed by an estimated sixteen hundred people, will soon be available through the Division of Historic Preservation traveling library. The Iowa chapter is one of 36 slate and regional chapters affili- ated with the Victorian Society in America, with its national head- quarters located in Philadelphia. Iowa chapter officers and board members regularly attend the annual meetings, symposiums, and workshops presented by the national at different locations throughout the country. The Iowa chapter also helps support the Victorian Society Schol- arship Fund and several chapter members have been awarded scholarships to the Victorian Society summer schools held each yearin Boston and London. The Iowa chapter holds bimonthly meetings with programs which have included lectures and slide shows, museum and house tours, picnics, recitals, and Victorian leas. A recent walking tour of the Cornell College Historic District proved to be a popular event, and bus trips to the Omaha/Council Bluffs and Min- neapolis/St. Paul areas are being planned for the future.

Some foreign investors, on the other hand, have become popular partners in real estate syndication. This is because, in having no need for immediate financial incen- tives to defray United Slates taxes, foreign investors want instead to have developers allow interest on their money to accrue (and compound) on top of the total mortgage and theycollect their prof- its once the properly is sold. All of this, in addition to interest rates in the 17 percent to 18 percent range, will currently have a dampening effect on all proj- ects. Once interest rates decline, however, areas with historic buildings will certainly be developed by investors using sophisti- cated financing methods. Residential Rental Property Residential rental property will qualify for the same 25 percent tax credit as commercial properly. For owners who can afford to rehabilitate their properly, the tax credit will be a real bonus. But in general, unless interest rates decline, or property can be pur- chased at a price significantly below market, or rents can be raised substantially, the tax act will probably not offer an immediate in- centive for residential rehabilitation. Historic Districts The greatest potential impact of the tax act will be felt in run- down historic districts. Rehabilitated buildings in these districts not only offer special tax benefits, but because rehabilitation tends to cost less than new construction, developers willing to risk refur- bishing these buildings will find greater potential profits. The owner of single-family owner -occupied homes will not de- rive any direct benefit from the tax act, but indirectly the home- owner will be the beneficiary of increasing values and steady up- grading of the district. However, owners of large single-family homes will probably have increasing incentive to convert to multi- family dwellings where rehabilitation would qualify for the 25 per- cent taxcredit. For cities, the tax act provides the economic benefits of helping to upgrade its tax base, preserving buildings and maintaining housing stock that a few years ago would certainly have been des- tined fordemolilion.
