WHEREAS the Puyallup Tribal Council is the governing body of
the Puyallup Tribe in accordance with the authority of it's
Constitution and By-Laws, as amended, approved by the Assistant
Secretary of the Interior on the 1st day of June, 1970; and
WHEREAS the Puyallup Tribe as party to the Treaty of Medicine
Creek of 1854 was guaranteed health and education services
by the Federal Government; and
WHEREAS the Cushman Indian Hospital, known now as Cascadia
Diagnostic Center, is on the Puyallup Reservation; and
WHEREAS the Puyallup Tribe originally isolated the Cushman
site from other land uses on the Reservation so that it would
provide the Treaty guaranteed health and education services to
the Tribal service population; and
WHEREAS the Puyallup Tribe sold the Cushman land to the Federal
Government in 1941 for the express purpose of improving the
government's ability to provide health care here, and was in
fact assured by the government that this would be the only use
of the land in the negotiations for the sale and by the
Congressional Act authorizing the purchase; and
WHEREAS the Cushman site was consistently used only for health
and education purposes until the U.S. Department of Health,
Education and Welfare closed it in 1959; and
WHEREAS HEW gratuitously transferred Cushman to the State of
Washington for uses other than Indian health in 1961, and this
transfer effectively breached the Federal Government's promises
to the Puyallup Tribe as to the purposes for which Cushman
would be used; and

REQUEST FOR APPROPRIATION
CUSHMAN INDIAN HOSPITAL
I.
THE SITE
The Cushman Indian Hospital, now called Cascadia, sits
near the center of the Puyallup Reservation in a section
known as "the Indian Addition". It is adjacent to our
Tribal Cemetary and Tribal Offices, and our medical-
dental clinic is located on the Cushman grounds through a
lease agreement with the State of Washington. In spite
of the extensive urbanization of the Reservation by the
city of Tacoma, the major concentration of our population
is still found around the borders of the 30.1 acres of
Cushman grounds.
Since the Cushman Hospital's closure by HEW in 1959
the facility has been alienated from service to the Indian
community. However, the close proximity of individuals
and activities of our community to the Cushman site is
not surprising. Since 1873 those grounds have provided
the focal point for Indian services on our Reservation,
beginning with education as the Puyallup boarding school.
Since 1878 the Cushman site has been the center for health
services available to our population. While education
phased out in the 1920's, the health use continued until
HEW's declaration in 1954 that the facility was surplus
to our health needs, prompting the hospitals closure in
1959. Predictably, the Cushman Indian Hospital is still
absolutely identified by the local Indian communities as
rightfully and traditionally an Indian health center.
1
II. THE BACKGROUND OF CUSHMAN
The Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854 guaranteed to
the Puyallups and other tribes and bands represented that
education and health care would be provided by the federal
government. (Article 10)
In implementing the first of these treaty provisions
a trade school was set up on the Puyallup Reservation in
1864, near the Cushman grounds. By 1871 the Cushman site
had been identified by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as
suitable for a boarding school. The occupant, a Tribal
Elder, agreed to the use and the land was then set aside
as Tribal land to be used for providing services. The
Puyallup boarding school (trade school) opened there in
1871 and continued in varying degrees of operation until
about 1920.
During the early years of the school, health care
was provided to the students and the rest of the Tribal
service population by a traveling physician. This method
of delivery was changed in 1878 when the Cushman grounds
became the site for a resident physician, as well as a
school. Under BIA operation, inpatient and outpatient
care was provided to Tribal members and other Indians in
the Northwest at Cushman. Except for a short period after
World War I when Cushman hospital was run by the Veterans
Administration, BIA operated Cushman as the areas Indian
Hospital.
In 1929 the BIA executed a formal lease of the facility
from the Tribe, and began operating it as a tuberculosis
sanitorium in addition to the general hospital and out-
patient services offered there. Within a year the
inadequacy of the facility to serve the multi-state
population of Native Americans became evident, and local
BIA officials initiated the move to construct a new hospital.
Negotiations were instituted with the Puyallup Tribe to
secure sale of the land to the federal government, clearing
the way for a permanent hospital facility to serve
Native Americans in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and
2
Montana. Correspondence between Dr. John Alley, Superin-
tendant of Cushman, and other regional and national BIA
officials, confirm the general hospital as well as
tuberculosis treatment needs of the Native population
prompting the federal purchase. (Supplement S.1 and S.2)
In 1930 and 1931 the Bureau of Indian Affairs
cultivated Tribal interest and approval of the sale. Of
critical importance in these negotiations were the continued
affirmations by BIA officials that Cushman would provide
continuing health care and employment to Puvallups.
(S.3 and S.4) It might also be noted that the June 20,
1931 approval of the sale by the Tribe was later interpreted
as the sale date for purposes of valuation of the property
at $200,000 lower than its value nine years later when the
deed was executed. (S.5)
Although the sale was agreed upon by both the federal
and tribal parties, Congressional appropriation of the
purchase price did not take place until 1939. The Act
(53 Stat. 1405) specifically provided that the appropriation
was for acquisition of the facility for Indian health
purposes, and continuing health care to Puyallups, notwith-
standing transfer of the property to the Department of
Interior. (S.6) The deed executed by the Puyallup Tribe
in favor of the federal government, dated October 28, 1940,
similarly expressed the purpose of the sale as the
advancement of Indian health purposes. (S.7)
The language in both the statute authorizing the
purchase, and in the deed of sale, serve to illustrate the
singular intent of all the concerned parties that the
transaction was to promote the building of a new hospital
facility at Cushman, to provide health services to Native
Americans. This is consistent with all of the events,
communications, and negotiations that had involved the
BIA and the Cushman Hospital since 1929.
The present facilities at Cushman were completed in
1941, and served as a tuberculosis sanitorium and general
hospital for the five state region. In addition, the
3
outpatient medical and dental clinic located in the hospital
basement served the other health needs of Indians on
Puyallup and other nearby reservations. These uses
continued until the hospital's closure by HEW in 1959.
In 1954, immediately after removal of the Indian Health
Service from the Department of Interior to Health, Education
and Welfare, plans were announced that Indian health
facilities would be phased out as quickly as possible.
Cushman Indian Hospital was the first target - and the
only hospital closed under this termination policy.
The multi-tribal protest that arose in the Northwest
over HEW's declaration that Cushman was "surplus" to
Indian health needs sought to keep the hospital open for
general hospital and clinic services, rather than as the
tuberculosis sanitorium that was at that time its official
primary purpose. In spite of the presentation of the
depressing health statistics directly contradicting HEW's
statement, the effort failed to reverse HEW's decision
because of the underlying "policy" of requiring Indians to
make use of the "local community facilities" which were
"believed" to provide the "answer" to Indian health care
problems. (S.8)
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was
well aware of the protest over Cushman and the request that
it be re-dedicated to general Indian health purposes, both
by direct contact with the Northwest Delegation of Indians,
and through correspondence with Senator Magnuson of
Washington. The logical option at that time would have
been to turn the facility back over to the Puyallup Tribe
so that either the Tribe or the Multi-state organization of
Tribes served by Cushman could continue its use in service
to Indian health needs. HEW made no such offer, and
apparently considered such a move contrary to the policy
they were espousing at the time. (S.8)
HEW instead sought interest from the State of
Washington for use of the facility and it's accompanying
4
38.5 acres. The original proposal solicited from the
State of Washington envisioned Cushman's use by the
Department of Institutions as a juvenile holding and
"diagnostic" center, ie., jail. Subsequently, the State
Highway Department expressed a desire for 8.4 acres of
this land "for the state highway program", and the two
departments agreed to the division.
HEW effected the transfer of the Highway Department
acreage to Washington State through the Federal Highway
Commission. The Cushman facility and remaining 30.1
acres were transferred directly by HEW to the Department
of Institutions by a deed executed by HEW on July 13,
1961. (S.9) This deed specified that the transfer was
for "public health purposes", an apparent attempt to bring
it within the restrictive "Indian Health" terms of the
1939 Congressional Act and the 1940 deed from the Puyallup
Tribe.
The HEW action directly contradicted the expressed
intent of the Puyallup Tribe, the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
and the Congress, the parties behind the original Cushman
transaction. In further contempt for that original intent,
HEW provided that the transfers of the land to the State
of Washington were by gift! The State did not pay for
either portion of the Cushman land.
The primary motivation for the Congressional act of
appropriation in 1939 was the upgrade of the Cushman
hospital facility and extinguishment of the annual $9,000
lease. payments being made to the Puyallup Tribe under the
1929 agreement. Indeed, had the federal government
contemplated phasing out the services in 19 years they
would not have provided for the acquisition. The purchase
price of $228,525 was approximately $57,525 more than the
cost of the lease for the same 19 year period, to 1959
when the Hospital closed. When viewed with the fact of
the outright gift of the property to the State, and the
administrative costs of that transfer, it becomes even
5
more plain that the action was not only contrary to the
language on the face of the 1939 statute and the 1941
deed, but that the action was outright wasteful of federal
funds.
The only motivation for the sale of the Cushman land
by the Puyallup Tribe was to secure a good hospital facility
to carry out the Treaty guarantee of available health
services perpetually and in an unrestricted manner by the
federal government. The Puyallup Tribe's agreement in
1939 that the purchase price would be the value of the 1931
assessment is evidence of this fact. The value of the
facility in 1939 was at least $200,000 more than it had been
eight years earlier, and at least part of the cost of
improvements had been taken out of the annual lease payments
to the Tribe. (S.10) The Puyallup Tribe did not complete
the sale of the 38.5 acres of Cushman land, and the facility,
simply to give the government a "deal" on a land purchase.
The entire history of the transaction revolves around the
health purposes for which the facility was then, and was
to continue to be used, and this purpose was expressed in
the language of the deed itself. (S.7)

III. THE PRESENT SITUATION
The State of Washington is now using Cushman as the
Cascadia Juvenile Diagnostic and Treatment Center, as
outlined in it's original proposal to HEW. This use
involves temporary to long term residence of juveniles
referred by the courts for various criminal offenses and
undesirable patterns of behavior. From "diagnosis"
at Cascadia, juveniles are returned to their parents, to
foster homes, to other state juvenile residence programs
or group homes, or they stay at Cascadia, according to
what is deemed appropriate for the individual.
In 1975 the Washington State Legislature approved
a change in state policy, involving "regionalization" of
the services now centered at Cascadia, and phasing out
the present use of the facility. (S.11 and 13) This
has not yet been implemented, and approximately two years
will be needed by the State to completely phase out its
operations at Cascadia.
The State of Washington has agreed to return Cushman
(Cascadia) to the Puyallup Tribe if it can recover its
capital investment in the facility: 1.719 million dollars.
(S.12) Our present effort in seeking appropriation of
this amount is strongly endorsed by Governor Dan Evans of
Washington, and Representative A.A. (Doc) Adams, chairman
of the House Committee on Social and Health Services of
the Washington State Legislature. (S.13 and 14)

IV. PROPOSED USE OF CUSHMAN
The multi-tribal protest that began in 1954 with the
announcement of plans to close Cushman as "surplus to
Indian health needs" was well justified in light of the
depressing health statistics for Indians here in Washington
as well as in the other four states for which Cushman
served as the only Indian hospital. While our health
statistics still show serious and disproportionately high
rates of tuberculosis, upper respiratory ailments,
diabetes, infant mortality, and inner-ear disorders, some
of the specific health needs have changed. Health centers,
hospitals and clinics, have opened to serve tribal
populations in several areas of the other states and other
parts of Washington. Our own outpatient clinic, still in
the development process, is beginning to serve some of our
obvious health needs.
Reopening Cushman in the capacity in which it
previously served would duplicate outpatient efforts now
being made, and while no thorough assessment has been
conducted to establish the cost of remodeling it to meet
today's building code requirements for a hospital, it is
anticipated to be highly expensive. A thorough assessment
of the facility by an HEW evaluation team has been
requested by Senator Jackson, and it is hoped that this
will provide more information. A preliminary evaluation
of the building done by HEW in 1975 determined that it
was not suitable for a hospital, though it would meet other
of our needs. (S.15)
Our own important, unmet health and associated services,
and training needs are appropriate for location in the
existing Cushman facility. The projected programs are:
convalescent, nursing and geriatric services for elderly
and disabled, providing both intermediary care between
hospital and home, and long term residential care; child
protective services including short term residential care
and group homes; alcoholism detoxification and treatment
services; and importantly, career training programs in the
S
health and other basic service fields.
All of the proposed programs are within the traditions
of Cushman, emphasizing the often-expressed health purposes
of the facility, and extending into the also traditional
education and career training which prompted the original
separation of the Cushman site from other tribal land uses.
On return of Cushman to the Tribe these health and
education/training programs are the priority for implemen-
tation. As space allows, other Tribal government functions
will also locate at Cushman, with Tribal legal functions
and overall Tribal administration being anticipated.
Despite the presence of some of these Tribal government
activities, the dominant use of Cushman will be, and will
remain, health and education oriented.
V.
PROJECTS OVERVIEW
The goal of the Puyallup Tribe with respect to all of
the activities proposed for Cushman is to provide a system
of health and related services that will enable the
individual and the family to improve and maintain a basic
level of health and stability. In this context the
interrelationships between outpatient clinical services,
alcoholism detoxification and treatment, training, and
protective residential services for our elderly, dicabled,
and children, becomes apparent.
Directly, the outpatient clinic services already
being developed reach and treat physical ailment which are
very often related to alcoholism because alcoholism does
affect the whole family through nutritional deficiencies,
neglect, accidents, and related illnesses. Serious illness
requiring hospitalization of a parent, and detoxification
needs and desires of the parent, share another common
factor in the very real reluctance of the parent to commit
9
her or himself to treatment. This is caused by fear of
loss of their children to the state foster placement
system, which very often turns out to be a permanent
deprivation and placement of the children separately, in
non-Indian homes. The lack of treatment of course severely
affects the earning capacity of the parent, and more
importantly, the level of care and attention, and health,
of the children.
State and local alcoholism and child protective
services have admitted their inability to cope with our
problems, and expressed support for our efforts. In those
situations where they have been able to reach an individual
or a family for treatment or counseling, the beneficial
effect has been shortlived because of the complex health,
economic, and community problems the family faces. Our
ability to provide total family protection while a parent
undergoes in-patient treatment, and to provide and
coordinate training and employment opportunities following,
therefore becomes a most essential ingredient of our
health program. This does not propose to become a "baby-
sitting" service for either adults or children, nor an
answer to all problems, but rather to provide a basic start
with family health and employment skills assistance, to
overcome the obstacles now interfering with the security
of our family units and productiveness of our community.
Child protective services and group homes will go
further, to provide temporary or longer-term residential
services as part of a "family", under Tribal protection
and supervised (parented) by Indian adults from within our
community. The objectives here include placement of a
child or children from a family under Tribal protection
while the parents pull themselves together and back into
a position to provide family support and/or undergo
inpatient health treatment, and providing the children
with nutritional supports, health care, and positive
community role models during the period of care. The
availability of these services within the community
10
eliminates the fears of alienation from the family and the
community which are part of the cause of the failure of
non-Indian efforts to deal with these problems. This same
effect carries over into the Tribal group home efforts
directed toward Indian youth who have come under the
custody of the court system and who generally have been
required to stay in detention centers because of the
inability of existing group homes to effectively manage
the cultural differences between our youth and other youth
in similar circumstances.
There is a total lack of intermediary care available
for our elderly and disabled who require more care than
is available at home, but neither need nor desire hospital-
ization. Yet, without it, we are losing our Elders either
because of inadequate care or because of the hopelessness
created by the hospital atmosphere, speeding death.
Our Elders are, with our children, our most precious
resources. They have long been identified by the Tribal
Council of the Puyallup Tribe as the top priority target
population for health and nutritional care. Development
of residential convalescent, nursing, and geriatric
services is a necessary extension of the outreach services
we now have. This would allow us to provide extra
attention to the special health problems and health
histories of our Elders not shared by the non-Indian
populations, and to provide for the special traditional dietary
needs of our Elders which is so important to their health.
Location of these services at Cushman additional provides
one of the critical links in the Tribe's health and
social services system by centering our Elders within
the community, and allowing them to participate in community
activities, and particularly the education of our young,
as they desire.
Through Cushman while it was in operation, a number
of women in our community were trained as practical nurses.
Thanks to this effort we have tribal and community members
11
trained and ready to work in our health programs. However
both long range health program requirements and administration
of other services and programs offered by the Tribe
requires continued availability of training - within the
community - to community members. For more than four
years we have been involved in combination college
education/in-service training programs with colleges and
universities in western Washinton, and have thus successfully
trained several Tribal and community members as key staff.
With the development of newer, and particularly the health
programs, it has become apparent that a system is needed
to offer the formal aspects of the training or education
closer to the community, and tailor them to community needs.
Cushman, once the site of our trade school, offers perfect
facilities for these programs. Its proximity to our health
services, and the cooperative relations established with
colleges and universities in the area, make it a highly
feasible site for a health careers education program with
in-service training associated with it. Our needs in this
area extend into training community members in the dental
assistant, nursing, practitionering, technician, and
medic fields, as well as preparation and motivation into
medical and dental schools. Similarly, it is well
suited to the training and education needs of the Tribe and
community in other areas such as education, social service,
mechanical, and other practical fields. To accommodate
these programs virtually no alterations of the physical
structure of Cushman need to take place.
The overall program proposed for Cushman then spans
the range of health and supportive services necessary to
provide individual and family health, while strengthening
the family and community units by increasing our ability
to provide the needed services ourselves.
12
VI. MECHANICS OF PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
Upon approval of the appropriation to reacquire
Cushman Hospital, the State of Washington will need
approximately two years to complete the phasing out of
its uses of the facility. While we have already been
involved in the development of specific programs within
the Cushman proposal, funding for these programs cannot
be secured until we are certain of the time we would
begin implementation. The two year "phase out" period
requested by the State will be used by us to complete
all aspects of planning and begin implementation of the
proposed services.
Our goal is to implement these services through
contracts with the state and federal offices and agencies
already charged with the responsibility of operating them,
and without additional "special appropriation" funding.
These services will be set up and operated as self-
sufficient businesses within the existing contract
opportunities. The State Department of Social and Health
Services has expressed a willingness to work with us on
this basis, and our investigation of the operations of
similar, non-Indian programs indicates our goal is
realistic. Given the success of our present efforts to
develop our Tribal economic base, we hope in the future
to be capable of operating these services at their optimum
levels without reliance on public funds.
13
VII. POLICIES OF THE INDIAN SELF DETERMINATION ACT
It is important to note that the proposed programs
are also within the policy intents and purposes expressed
in The Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance
Act, PL 93-638, and its regulations, as valid purposes
of grants under that Act., The Act requires that land
purchases under its authority be intended either to
promote and facilitate tribal development and administration
of programs and services to Indian people - with emphasis
on education and health programs, or to assist the Tribe
in developing its governmental capacities, administration
of programs under contract, and to facilitate Tribal
direction to federal programs intended to benefit the
Tribe's service population and Native Americans generally.
All of the programs proposed for Cushman are within
the traditional purposes of the Cushman site, and directly
improve our ability to administer our programs and provide
services to our community ourselves.

Hon. Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Commissioner:-
I wish to make the following report in regard to the
U. S. Tacoma Hospital. From July 21, 1929 to April 1, 1930,
one hundred and seventy-nine (179) patients have been admitted,
as follows:
Incipient
50
Mod. Advanced 113
Far Advanced 16.
Of the latter, most of them were from Alaska Board of Education.
There have been, three deaths among the children - all among
Iar advanced cases.
There have been 131 tonsilectomy operations and 17 major operations;
viz: appendectomy, amputation, removal of kidneys, removal of
tumors, removal of loose body from knee, etc., making a total of
150 surgical cases. One hundred fifty-three (153) patients have
been treated on reservations at home - at Oakville, Tahola,
LaPush, Muckleshoot and Puyallup.
Sunming up the cases, we have as follows:
Hospital or bed patients 259
Out patients treated in
Dispensary
366
Patients visited at home 153
Total
778.
The general hospital, Ward D, was opened to patients
on January 1, 1930, and the work is growing very rapidly. Fifteen
major operations and over 125 minor oberations have been performed,
and many patients turned away for lack of room, and the force is
too small to take care of the work. Ward D is'a two story wooden
building at least 25 years old. It has no elevator, and the
patients have to be carried down stairs after the operations are
performed.
I feel there is great need for this work here, as many of
the Indians need surgery and are unable to be taken care of on
account of lack of funds.
I would recommend that an appropriation be asked of
Congress to build and equip an up to date hospital of at least
60 beds here for general work, and that Supervisor Davis be
directed here at once to make plans and estimates for the
bunget. erection of this hospital so it can be considered in the next
Our work here has been appreciated by the Indians
and has been far reaching, as we have reached every Indian
community in Western Washington. The tubercular work has
been very satisfactory. We have already discharged 18
incipient cases as arrested. We could not accomodate the
many applications. But, with the enlargement after July 1, 1930,
we will be able to serve the territory with greater setisfaction.
I have nau considerable experience with tubercular children
in New Mexico and Idaho, but none have made better progress
toward recovery than the patients in the Tacoma Hospital.
The location of the Tacoma Hospital is the best in the
Northwest, and I again recommend that provision be made to
ask Congress to acquire title to the property, which should
include a strip of land between the Hospital and the Railroad
tracks (tract No 6, containing 7.4242 acres), in order to
retain control of the railroad siding.
Very truly yours,
John N. Alley, A alley

JAN 151934
My dear Mr. Comissioner:-
Referring to various correspondence regarding possiblity of
Congressional action looking toward the purchase of the grounds on which the
Tacoma Hospital is located, from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, I have recent-
ly been requested by several of the Puyallup Indians to advise the Tribe the
present status of this proposed sale. They would particularly like to know
whether a bill has been prepared to cover the deal. I would appreciate it if
the Office could enlighten me on the subject, in order that I may inform them.
The demand for medical attention among the Indians of the Northwest
greatly exceeds the Government facilities available, We have a patient census
at the present time of 255. It is usually 260 or more. This is a crawded
condition at this Hospital. In addition, there is a large waiting list of
prospective patients who really need medical attention very badly. This is
particularly true as to those requiring surgical attention. Our one ward that
may be used for this class of patients has = normal capacity of 25. We have had
to crowd them in to as high as 35 at times. The human element enters the picture.
When cases are brought in, requiring immediate attention in order to safeguard
lives, it is hardly possible to reject them even though we are already filled to
capacity. In order to care for the demand, we should have a bed capacity of
75 for general and surgical cases. Even so, the ward would be filled at all
times. In addition to requirement for greater capacity, more modern facilities
should be provided. For instance, there should be an elevator in the building.
The surgery is upstairs. Very sick patients must be carried on stretcher to the
operating room up a winding stairway. This is not as it should be. We make the
best out of a makeshift situation. But the proposition of new and modern
facilities should be given careful consideration. I believe that investigation
would reveal the fact that our work among the Indians of this territory has
materially benefitted their condition, and that the large majority or our
Indians appreciate the services rendered by the Tacoma Hospital for them.
I earnestly solicit the valuable assistance of the Office in consummating
the purchase of the plant and the subsequent provision of more adequate
hospitalization facilities.
Sincerely yours,
John John N. Alley,
A

Dear Sir:
We, the duly authorized officers and delegates of the
Puyallup Indian Tribe, wish to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of March 28, 1934, in which is enclosed a. copy of a
letter addressed to the Hon. B. K. Whesler, chairman,
Committee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate, dated
June 13, 1933.
We have. read the two above communications and under the
circumstances, now that you have fully explained the matter,
TO realize that due to the present financial situation and
the Iact that the Indians are receiving an annual Fental for
the property that S-1513 cannot be enacted at this time.
We sincerely appreciate your interest in this matter and
feel confident that when the proper time comes you will be
only too glad to approve of this measure, urge its passage
and see that the purchase of the hospital site is finally
concluded.
In referring to the letter addressed to the Hon. B. K.
Waseler under date of June 13, 1935, we observe that Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes suggests that when the Bill is
finally submitted to Congress that the following words be
added to the Bill:
"But no transaction carried out under the
terms of this Act shall operate to change
the status of members of the Puyallup
tribe as wards of the United States. II
We are heartily in accord with the proposed wording and
we understand by this that even though the Government does
purchase the hospital for general hospitalization purposes
this added clause would protect the members of the Puyallup
tribe so that they too would be entitled to hosmitalization
at this institution. and the general benefits as Indians.

March 4, 1937.
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to office letter of February 27, 1937 relative to
report on H. R. 4290.
I met with the Puyallup Council last night and discussed the bill and
by unanimous vote the Council authorized me to make a favorable report on
the measure.
As to the appraisal made in 1931, this property represents a fair
value 02 the property ai that time. Since 1931 permanent improvements of
a nature that attach to the property have been made which increase its
value very materially. A fill of five acres of swamp land facing the street
making a very valuable and beautiful lawn has been accepted by the good
management of the Superintendent, Dr. Alley, involves the moving of 400,000
yards of material which could not be done at commercial rates today for less
than $150,000.00. The heating plant of the institution has been renewed.
A mile of steam tunnel constructed at a cost of some $75,000.00; pavements
have been widened and extended and sidewalks built worth more than $10,000.00;
landscaping, building of a pool, tennis courts and gardens are worth more
then $10,000.00 and the wonderful water gravity system from an enormous
spring of pure water has had the main pipe line, which was wood at the time
of former appraisal, replaced by cast iron pipe worth $25,000.00; and thou-
sands of dollars have been expended in repair and improvement of the other
buildings, which are in a better state of repair today then they were in
1931. It is recognized that the Government, as lessee of the Puyallup Tribe
has made all of these improvements and investments. However, permanent
improvements which attach to the land made by a lessee become the regular
property of The land owner. The site of the Tacoma Hospital is worth
$200,000.00 more to the Government than it was in 1931. It is recognized
by the Puyallup Council that the water system mentioned above, as a unit,
is worth $150,000.00 is already the property of the Government and not the
Tribe. This water system is tributary to this particular site and tract
and is an asset of value to the tract. It is recognized by the Puyellup
Council that the service rendered by the efficient and convenient Tacoma
Hospital to the Puyallup Tribe is an item of great value to their people.
of Indian Affairs. March 4, 1937. (Page 2)
They are willing after discussing all of these considerations to
accept the former appraisement of $228,525.00 as written in the bill
and as stated above voted unanimously to authorize favorable report as
it stands.
My only personal criticism of the measure is that it provides no
protection for the indigent Puyallup Indian who, through sale of his
allotment, either by himself, his parents or grandparents has no home
and thus comes into the last of his tribal heritage in cash, a form of
value which is easily dissipated. The majority, I feel confident, would
not approve of any other disposition of the money. If all those who
own homes might be paid in cash and all those who have no homes should be
required to purchase homes with their twelve or fifteen hundred dollar
payment, I would feel much happier about the sale. This, however, probably
would not meet the approval of the majority of the Indians and that in the
event the bill is passed in its present form, the best we can do is for
the Council and the Superintendent to urge all of the homeless participants
to use this last chance to acquire permanent residence.
I recommend, therefore. with the suggert of the Puvallup Council that
the Office report favorably upon the bill as proposed. The Government is
securing an excellent bargain in this wonderfully located and highly
developed hospital site. Lodernization of the buildings will make this
one of the finest institutions in the country. It is already a show place
for the city of Tacoma and for the Indian Service.
Very respectfully,
0. C. Upchurch,
Superintendent.

Done Secator Magnutoon:
This will reply to your letter of April 9 enclosing a letter
written by Marbin J. Serpson as Chairman of the Swinemish Indian Trical
Council, and to your letter of April 2 enclosing & letter which
Mr. Surpson wrote as Chairmen of the Inter-State Tribal Council's
Health Committee. The correspondence from Mr. Sempson requests the
Public Health Service to converb the Recome Indian Hospital, now a
tubarculosis senatorium, to 3. general medical and surgical facility.
The tuberculous patient load at this facility continues to
decline. Many of the patients now at the Bacoma Hospital are from
Alaska and Montena. Pleaning is proceeding for the discharge to their
homes of these patients upon completion of their treatment. Since
beds now are available locally for the treatment of tuberculous patients
in Aleska and Montens, no patients are being admitted to the Sacoma
Hospital from these two States. The conticued decline of the patient
load has reduced the requirement for personnel at this hospital. As
individual employees resign, replecements are not necessary. Several
surplus employees have accepted transfers to other Public Health Service
Indian Hospitals.
We have given careful consideration to the conversion of this
hospital to a general hospital, and have concluded that this is not
proctical or decirable. One of our long-renge objectives for the
improvement of Indian health is the endopuragement of Indians to use
local comunity familities. Based on our experience, the requirements
to be mat, and our efforts to provide high quality services, we believe
that the use of local community familities 10 the enswer to the problems
of general medical and surgical care to Indians in the Northwest.
Our present her/Hing of authorizations for local medical care
will be reviewed in Might of Mr. Sarpson's criticisms of our methods.
Ve appreciate the concern shown by the Inter-State Ertbal
Council's Heelth Committee, the verious trelbal connectio, and the other
Indian groups to Vachington for adequate nolical care for Indians.
Ve hope that they will realize that the declining need for a
constorium 10 evidence of the progress usle in controlling 8, serious
health problem.

Dear Floyd:
It is the policy of the State of Washington to develop a more
systematic community level diagnostic and treatment planning pro-
gram for juvenile offenders. Specifically, this would involve
the closure within eighteen to twenty-four months of the present
facility at the Cascadia Diagnostic and Treatment Center. If the
state were fully reimbursed for its investment in Cascadia, it
would have no objections to its transfer to the United States to
be held in trust for Indian use.
While the state supports the transfer, I believe full responsi-
bility for the funding and operation of the new facility, outside
of those areas where the state would provide funds under contract,
should be accepted by the responsible federal agencies, which in-
clude the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.
It would be tragic if the high hopes which are envisioned by such
a transfer were destroyed because of inadequate management or
funding. Furthermore, in any planning for the use of the new
facility I believe all Indian constituencies need to be consulted
and involved.
The proposals for the use of Cascadia are exciting and innovative.
The state administration is agreeable to transfer the property
given adequate compensation and anxious to work with Indian people
and the appropriate federal agencies on plans for the future.
Sincerely,
Dave

My dear Mr. Johnson:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of November 16 with which
you inclesed = petition sent by a number of Indians of the Puyellap
Tribe concerning the Tacona Hospital, and their desire that the
Government purchase the institution outright.
In this connection you are advised that some time ago these
Indians in council agreed unon the payment of a rental of $9,000
per year, in addition to the necessary expense of insurance for this
property, and at the present time this arrangement is in force. It
was thought that this would be a fair rental, commencing with the
fiscal year 1931, inasmich as the remairs and improvements that were

being made upon the institution in the latter nort of the fiscal year
1939 and during the fiscal year 1930 would be sufficient commensation
ICI rental curine that period. Reverer. beginning with the Please

year 1931, the rental that the Indians themselves agreed ucon will be

paid to them for this property. If it becomes apparent later that 1t
is more desirable to murchase the property, full consideration will
be given to the request that has been presented in this petition.
The petition is returned herewith is accordance with your request.

Dear Ms. Bennett:
Elliot Marks in Governor Evans' office asked me to determine the
state's capital investment in the Juvenile Rehabilitation Center
at Cascadia.
After a review of this matter with our capital programs and
facilities management staffs, it appears that the state's invest-
ment in capital improvements at Cascadia is $1,719,000. The
details of those expenditures are explained in the enclosed
attachments.
I hope this information will prove helpful to you. If you have
any questions concerning this particular aspect of the Cascadia
situation, I would appreciate if it you would let me know.

Dear Rep. Hicks:
I would like very much to support the request of the
Puyallup Indian Tribe for the line item appropriation of
$1,718,938.05 in the Indian Affairs budget in the name of
the Puyallup Indian Tribe so that this tribe can assume man-
agement and responsibility of the old Cushman Indian Hospital,
now Cascadia, to provide services to the Indian people.
The present facility known as Cascadia Diagnostic
Center has a long and dramatic history in Northwest Indian
relations. Congress originally appropriated funds to build
the structure and purchased some 38 acres of reservation land
for "Indian sanatorium" purposes. In time it was converted to
a tuberculosis hospital. With the decline in that disease,
the facility was turned into a diagnostic center for processing
juvenile delinquents. The state wishes to phase out this
diagnostic center and regionalize those services, but it has
already invested $1,718,938.05 in much needed repairs. These
are the dollars the state would have to realize before they
can transfer these services to the various regions. I am
informed that the title would be deeded to the Department of
Interior in trust for the Puyallup Indian Tribe for "health,
education and welfare" services for all Indian and Native
American people within a service area comprising Washington,
Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.
The House Social and Health Services Committee, which
I chair, is very interested in the problems confronting our
Indian population, of which 90% of those over 18 are chronic
alcoholics. We will be studying during this interim problems

SUBJECT: Cascadia Institution, Tacoma, Washington
You have requested our advice to the Puyallup Tribal Council concerning
possible uses for the Cascadia buildings for various health and social
services. Although we do not have sufficient information on either the
existing buildings or the proposed programs to make specific recommend-
ations, we can offer some general guidance at this time and perhaps assist
further after some preliminary decisions are made. I suggest the sponsors
proceed with the following steps.
1. The sponsors should decide the types of programs they wish to
provide in the facility. You have read us a list of possible activities
so apparently some thinking has been done on this.
2. The sponsor should obtain the best professional help available
to them to develop the functional program for each proposed activity.
The program should cover such items as a description of the care or
treatment to be provided, the type of patient or client, the type and
number of staff, the kinds of spaces and major equipment needed, and funct-
ional relationships.
3. Complete plans and specifications of the existing buildings
should be secured. Those furnished us are the floor plans only (Sheets
A6, A9, All, and A19R) of the remodeling of the original buildings designed
in 1961 and a partial preliminary set of drawings for the cottages
printed in 1968.
4. The sponsors should obtain architectural/engineering services
to make preliminary layouts of the best and most economical uses for each
part of each building based on the proposed functional programs and the
existing conditions. A reasonably complete evaluation of the condition
of the existing buildings should be made prior to laying out the proposed
uses. Regulations of the licensing and third party payment agencies should
be secured and considered in developing the proposed uses for the
existing spaces.
5.15
Page 2 - William Knestis
5. A decision should be obtained from the State Department of
Social and Health Services and the State Fire Marshall on whether the
buildings will be considered existing or new construction for the pro-
posed uses under the applicable regulations and codes.
6. Those proposed uses requiring a Certificate of Need should be
discussed with the State Department of Social and Health Services.
It may very well be that no additional inpatient beds will be permitted
in the Tacoma Area.
7. The above studies should be adequate to develop cost estimates
so that funding sources can be investigated prior to making final
decisions on the proposed uses and further development of the design.
Although we believe the above steps are necessary prior to establishing
the uses of various parts of the buildings, we can offer some general
comments which may be of help to the sponsors in their decision process.
1. Since the cottage buildings have narrow corridors and no doubt
will be considered "new construction" for in-patient use, they will not
be suitable for conversion to nursing home. New nursing homes require
eight foot corridors and other conditions usually not provided in
buildings designed for residential uses.
2. Although the main building was remodelled to provide many
large spaces, it was originally designed as a hospital and would be the
most adaptable for in-patient use. It has wide corridors and stairs,
elevator shafts, etc. Also, it will probably be considered to be
"existing construction" under codes and regulations governing in-patient
care. The Uniform Building Code requires in-patient buildings to have
automatic fire sprinklers throughout for new construction. Existing
facilities require sprinklers only in hazardous areas and large
windowless spaces.
3. The cottages might be best suited for administrative and
Social Services offices. They require smaller rooms and less plumbing
than most other uses.
4. The sheltered workshop would best be located in the larger
spaces on the ground or first floors near loading docks and elevators.
Sprinkler protection may also be required.
5. The medical clinic requires small spaces convenient to
Page 3 - William Knestis
entrance for the public so the ground or first floor of the main building
would probably be the most suitable. One of the cottages might also be
used.
6. The large open spaces in the main building which have most
recently been used as dormitories are not suitable for patients. New
construction standards require that patient bed rooms accommodate no more
than four persons. This will require additional expense to construct
partitions but the building should be adaptable to division into
smaller spaces with a central one-hour fire resistive corridor.
7. The Children's Protective Services, the Group Home for
Children, the Transient Family Living Units, and the Home for the
Aged probably would be best accommodated in the cottages; however, the
main building might also be suitable. Decision on the best location
would depend on the program requirements concerning such things as
whether kitchens, toilets and baths will be provided in the individual
units or centrally. We have no plot plan with which to assess the ease
of movement among buildings.
If this project proceeds further and we can be of assistance to you or
the sponsors, we will attempt to do so to the extent that other committ-
ments will permit.

It is adjacent to our\nTribal Cemetary and Tribal Offices, and our medical-\ndental clinic is located on the Cushman grounds through a\nlease agreement with the State of Washington. In spite\nof the extensive urbanization of the Reservation by the\ncity of Tacoma, the major concentration of our population\nis still found around the borders of the 30.1 acres of\nCushman grounds.\nSince the Cushman Hospital's closure by HEW in 1959\nthe facility has been alienated from service to the Indian\ncommunity. However, the close proximity of individuals\nand activities of our community to the Cushman site is\nnot surprising. Since 1873 those grounds have provided\nthe focal point for Indian services on our Reservation,\nbeginning with education as the Puyallup boarding school.\nSince 1878 the Cushman site has been the center for health\nservices available to our population. While education\nphased out in the 1920's, the health use continued until\nHEW's declaration in 1954 that the facility was surplus\nto our health needs, prompting the hospitals closure in\n1959. Predictably, the Cushman Indian Hospital is still\nabsolutely identified by the local Indian communities as\nrightfully and traditionally an Indian health center.\n1\nII. THE BACKGROUND OF CUSHMAN\nThe Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854 guaranteed to\nthe Puyallups and other tribes and bands represented that\neducation and health care would be provided by the federal\ngovernment. (Article 10)\nIn implementing the first of these treaty provisions\na trade school was set up on the Puyallup Reservation in\n1864, near the Cushman grounds. By 1871 the Cushman site\nhad been identified by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as\nsuitable for a boarding school. The occupant, a Tribal\nElder, agreed to the use and the land was then set aside\nas Tribal land to be used for providing services. The\nPuyallup boarding school (trade school) opened there in\n1871 and continued in varying degrees of operation until\nabout 1920.\nDuring the early years of the school, health care\nwas provided to the students and the rest of the Tribal\nservice population by a traveling physician. This method\nof delivery was changed in 1878 when the Cushman grounds\nbecame the site for a resident physician, as well as a\nschool. Under BIA operation, inpatient and outpatient\ncare was provided to Tribal members and other Indians in\nthe Northwest at Cushman. Except for a short period after\nWorld War I when Cushman hospital was run by the Veterans\nAdministration, BIA operated Cushman as the areas Indian\nHospital.\nIn 1929 the BIA executed a formal lease of the facility\nfrom the Tribe, and began operating it as a tuberculosis\nsanitorium in addition to the general hospital and out-\npatient services offered there. Within a year the\ninadequacy of the facility to serve the multi-state\npopulation of Native Americans became evident, and local\nBIA officials initiated the move to construct a new hospital.\nNegotiations were instituted with the Puyallup Tribe to\nsecure sale of the land to the federal government, clearing\nthe way for a permanent hospital facility to serve\nNative Americans in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and\n2\nMontana. Correspondence between Dr. John Alley, Superin-\ntendant of Cushman, and other regional and national BIA\nofficials, confirm the general hospital as well as\ntuberculosis treatment needs of the Native population\nprompting the federal purchase. (Supplement S.1 and S.2)\nIn 1930 and 1931 the Bureau of Indian Affairs\ncultivated Tribal interest and approval of the sale. Of\ncritical importance in these negotiations were the continued\naffirmations by BIA officials that Cushman would provide\ncontinuing health care and employment to Puvallups.\n(S.3 and S.4) It might also be noted that the June 20,\n1931 approval of the sale by the Tribe was later interpreted\nas the sale date for purposes of valuation of the property\nat $200,000 lower than its value nine years later when the\ndeed was executed. (S.5)\nAlthough the sale was agreed upon by both the federal\nand tribal parties, Congressional appropriation of the\npurchase price did not take place until 1939. The Act\n(53 Stat. 1405) specifically provided that the appropriation\nwas for acquisition of the facility for Indian health\npurposes, and continuing health care to Puyallups, notwith-\nstanding transfer of the property to the Department of\nInterior. (S.6) The deed executed by the Puyallup Tribe\nin favor of the federal government, dated October 28, 1940,\nsimilarly expressed the purpose of the sale as the\nadvancement of Indian health purposes. (S.7)\nThe language in both the statute authorizing the\npurchase, and in the deed of sale, serve to illustrate the\nsingular intent of all the concerned parties that the\ntransaction was to promote the building of a new hospital\nfacility at Cushman, to provide health services to Native\nAmericans. This is consistent with all of the events,\ncommunications, and negotiations that had involved the\nBIA and the Cushman Hospital since 1929.\nThe present facilities at Cushman were completed in\n1941, and served as a tuberculosis sanitorium and general\nhospital for the five state region. In addition, the\n3\noutpatient medical and dental clinic located in the hospital\nbasement served the other health needs of Indians on\nPuyallup and other nearby reservations. These uses\ncontinued until the hospital's closure by HEW in 1959.\nIn 1954, immediately after removal of the Indian Health\nService from the Department of Interior to Health, Education\nand Welfare, plans were announced that Indian health\nfacilities would be phased out as quickly as possible.\nCushman Indian Hospital was the first target - and the\nonly hospital closed under this termination policy.\nThe multi-tribal protest that arose in the Northwest\nover HEW's declaration that Cushman was \"surplus\" to\nIndian health needs sought to keep the hospital open for\ngeneral hospital and clinic services, rather than as the\ntuberculosis sanitorium that was at that time its official\nprimary purpose. In spite of the presentation of the\ndepressing health statistics directly contradicting HEW's\nstatement, the effort failed to reverse HEW's decision\nbecause of the underlying \"policy\" of requiring Indians to\nmake use of the \"local community facilities\" which were\n\"believed\" to provide the \"answer\" to Indian health care\nproblems. (S.8)\nThe Department of Health, Education, and Welfare was\nwell aware of the protest over Cushman and the request that\nit be re-dedicated to general Indian health purposes, both\nby direct contact with the Northwest Delegation of Indians,\nand through correspondence with Senator Magnuson of\nWashington. The logical option at that time would have\nbeen to turn the facility back over to the Puyallup Tribe\nso that either the Tribe or the Multi-state organization of\nTribes served by Cushman could continue its use in service\nto Indian health needs. HEW made no such offer, and\napparently considered such a move contrary to the policy\nthey were espousing at the time. (S.8)\nHEW instead sought interest from the State of\nWashington for use of the facility and it's accompanying\n4\n38.5 acres. The original proposal solicited from the\nState of Washington envisioned Cushman's use by the\nDepartment of Institutions as a juvenile holding and\n\"diagnostic\" center, ie., jail. Subsequently, the State\nHighway Department expressed a desire for 8.4 acres of\nthis land \"for the state highway program\", and the two\ndepartments agreed to the division.\nHEW effected the transfer of the Highway Department\nacreage to Washington State through the Federal Highway\nCommission. The Cushman facility and remaining 30.1\nacres were transferred directly by HEW to the Department\nof Institutions by a deed executed by HEW on July 13,\n1961. (S.9) This deed specified that the transfer was\nfor \"public health purposes\", an apparent attempt to bring\nit within the restrictive \"Indian Health\" terms of the\n1939 Congressional Act and the 1940 deed from the Puyallup\nTribe.\nThe HEW action directly contradicted the expressed\nintent of the Puyallup Tribe, the Bureau of Indian Affairs,\nand the Congress, the parties behind the original Cushman\ntransaction. In further contempt for that original intent,\nHEW provided that the transfers of the land to the State\nof Washington were by gift! The State did not pay for\neither portion of the Cushman land.\nThe primary motivation for the Congressional act of\nappropriation in 1939 was the upgrade of the Cushman\nhospital facility and extinguishment of the annual $9,000\nlease. payments being made to the Puyallup Tribe under the\n1929 agreement. Indeed, had the federal government\ncontemplated phasing out the services in 19 years they\nwould not have provided for the acquisition. The purchase\nprice of $228,525 was approximately $57,525 more than the\ncost of the lease for the same 19 year period, to 1959\nwhen the Hospital closed. When viewed with the fact of\nthe outright gift of the property to the State, and the\nadministrative costs of that transfer, it becomes even\n5\nmore plain that the action was not only contrary to the\nlanguage on the face of the 1939 statute and the 1941\ndeed, but that the action was outright wasteful of federal\nfunds.\nThe only motivation for the sale of the Cushman land\nby the Puyallup Tribe was to secure a good hospital facility\nto carry out the Treaty guarantee of available health\nservices perpetually and in an unrestricted manner by the\nfederal government. The Puyallup Tribe's agreement in\n1939 that the purchase price would be the value of the 1931\nassessment is evidence of this fact. The value of the\nfacility in 1939 was at least $200,000 more than it had been\neight years earlier, and at least part of the cost of\nimprovements had been taken out of the annual lease payments\nto the Tribe. (S.10) The Puyallup Tribe did not complete\nthe sale of the 38.5 acres of Cushman land, and the facility,\nsimply to give the government a \"deal\" on a land purchase.\nThe entire history of the transaction revolves around the\nhealth purposes for which the facility was then, and was\nto continue to be used, and this purpose was expressed in\nthe language of the deed itself. (S.7)\n6\nIII. THE PRESENT SITUATION\nThe State of Washington is now using Cushman as the\nCascadia Juvenile Diagnostic and Treatment Center, as\noutlined in it's original proposal to HEW. This use\ninvolves temporary to long term residence of juveniles\nreferred by the courts for various criminal offenses and\nundesirable patterns of behavior. From \"diagnosis\"\nat Cascadia, juveniles are returned to their parents, to\nfoster homes, to other state juvenile residence programs\nor group homes, or they stay at Cascadia, according to\nwhat is deemed appropriate for the individual.\nIn 1975 the Washington State Legislature approved\na change in state policy, involving \"regionalization\" of\nthe services now centered at Cascadia, and phasing out\nthe present use of the facility. (S.11 and 13) This\nhas not yet been implemented, and approximately two years\nwill be needed by the State to completely phase out its\noperations at Cascadia.\nThe State of Washington has agreed to return Cushman\n(Cascadia) to the Puyallup Tribe if it can recover its\ncapital investment in the facility: 1.719 million dollars.\n(S.12) Our present effort in seeking appropriation of\nthis amount is strongly endorsed by Governor Dan Evans of\nWashington, and Representative A.A. (Doc) Adams, chairman\nof the House Committee on Social and Health Services of\nthe Washington State Legislature. (S.13 and 14)\n7\nIV. PROPOSED USE OF CUSHMAN\nThe multi-tribal protest that began in 1954 with the\nannouncement of plans to close Cushman as \"surplus to\nIndian health needs\" was well justified in light of the\ndepressing health statistics for Indians here in Washington\nas well as in the other four states for which Cushman\nserved as the only Indian hospital. While our health\nstatistics still show serious and disproportionately high\nrates of tuberculosis, upper respiratory ailments,\ndiabetes, infant mortality, and inner-ear disorders, some\nof the specific health needs have changed. Health centers,\nhospitals and clinics, have opened to serve tribal\npopulations in several areas of the other states and other\nparts of Washington. Our own outpatient clinic, still in\nthe development process, is beginning to serve some of our\nobvious health needs.\nReopening Cushman in the capacity in which it\npreviously served would duplicate outpatient efforts now\nbeing made, and while no thorough assessment has been\nconducted to establish the cost of remodeling it to meet\ntoday's building code requirements for a hospital, it is\nanticipated to be highly expensive. A thorough assessment\nof the facility by an HEW evaluation team has been\nrequested by Senator Jackson, and it is hoped that this\nwill provide more information. A preliminary evaluation\nof the building done by HEW in 1975 determined that it\nwas not suitable for a hospital, though it would meet other\nof our needs. (S.15)\nOur own important, unmet health and associated services,\nand training needs are appropriate for location in the\nexisting Cushman facility. The projected programs are:\nconvalescent, nursing and geriatric services for elderly\nand disabled, providing both intermediary care between\nhospital and home, and long term residential care; child\nprotective services including short term residential care\nand group homes; alcoholism detoxification and treatment\nservices; and importantly, career training programs in the\nS\nhealth and other basic service fields.\nAll of the proposed programs are within the traditions\nof Cushman, emphasizing the often-expressed health purposes\nof the facility, and extending into the also traditional\neducation and career training which prompted the original\nseparation of the Cushman site from other tribal land uses.\nOn return of Cushman to the Tribe these health and\neducation/training programs are the priority for implemen-\ntation. As space allows, other Tribal government functions\nwill also locate at Cushman, with Tribal legal functions\nand overall Tribal administration being anticipated.\nDespite the presence of some of these Tribal government\nactivities, the dominant use of Cushman will be, and will\nremain, health and education oriented.\nV.\nPROJECTS OVERVIEW\nThe goal of the Puyallup Tribe with respect to all of\nthe activities proposed for Cushman is to provide a system\nof health and related services that will enable the\nindividual and the family to improve and maintain a basic\nlevel of health and stability. In this context the\ninterrelationships between outpatient clinical services,\nalcoholism detoxification and treatment, training, and\nprotective residential services for our elderly, dicabled,\nand children, becomes apparent.\nDirectly, the outpatient clinic services already\nbeing developed reach and treat physical ailment which are\nvery often related to alcoholism because alcoholism does\naffect the whole family through nutritional deficiencies,\nneglect, accidents, and related illnesses. Serious illness\nrequiring hospitalization of a parent, and detoxification\nneeds and desires of the parent, share another common\nfactor in the very real reluctance of the parent to commit\n9\nher or himself to treatment. This is caused by fear of\nloss of their children to the state foster placement\nsystem, which very often turns out to be a permanent\ndeprivation and placement of the children separately, in\nnon-Indian homes. The lack of treatment of course severely\naffects the earning capacity of the parent, and more\nimportantly, the level of care and attention, and health,\nof the children.\nState and local alcoholism and child protective\nservices have admitted their inability to cope with our\nproblems, and expressed support for our efforts. In those\nsituations where they have been able to reach an individual\nor a family for treatment or counseling, the beneficial\neffect has been shortlived because of the complex health,\neconomic, and community problems the family faces. Our\nability to provide total family protection while a parent\nundergoes in-patient treatment, and to provide and\ncoordinate training and employment opportunities following,\ntherefore becomes a most essential ingredient of our\nhealth program. This does not propose to become a \"baby-\nsitting\" service for either adults or children, nor an\nanswer to all problems, but rather to provide a basic start\nwith family health and employment skills assistance, to\novercome the obstacles now interfering with the security\nof our family units and productiveness of our community.\nChild protective services and group homes will go\nfurther, to provide temporary or longer-term residential\nservices as part of a \"family\", under Tribal protection\nand supervised (parented) by Indian adults from within our\ncommunity. The objectives here include placement of a\nchild or children from a family under Tribal protection\nwhile the parents pull themselves together and back into\na position to provide family support and/or undergo\ninpatient health treatment, and providing the children\nwith nutritional supports, health care, and positive\ncommunity role models during the period of care. The\navailability of these services within the community\n10\neliminates the fears of alienation from the family and the\ncommunity which are part of the cause of the failure of\nnon-Indian efforts to deal with these problems. This same\neffect carries over into the Tribal group home efforts\ndirected toward Indian youth who have come under the\ncustody of the court system and who generally have been\nrequired to stay in detention centers because of the\ninability of existing group homes to effectively manage\nthe cultural differences between our youth and other youth\nin similar circumstances.\nThere is a total lack of intermediary care available\nfor our elderly and disabled who require more care than\nis available at home, but neither need nor desire hospital-\nization. Yet, without it, we are losing our Elders either\nbecause of inadequate care or because of the hopelessness\ncreated by the hospital atmosphere, speeding death.\nOur Elders are, with our children, our most precious\nresources. They have long been identified by the Tribal\nCouncil of the Puyallup Tribe as the top priority target\npopulation for health and nutritional care. Development\nof residential convalescent, nursing, and geriatric\nservices is a necessary extension of the outreach services\nwe now have. This would allow us to provide extra\nattention to the special health problems and health\nhistories of our Elders not shared by the non-Indian\npopulations, and to provide for the special traditional dietary\nneeds of our Elders which is so important to their health.\nLocation of these services at Cushman additional provides\none of the critical links in the Tribe's health and\nsocial services system by centering our Elders within\nthe community, and allowing them to participate in community\nactivities, and particularly the education of our young,\nas they desire.\nThrough Cushman while it was in operation, a number\nof women in our community were trained as practical nurses.\nThanks to this effort we have tribal and community members\n11\ntrained and ready to work in our health programs. However\nboth long range health program requirements and administration\nof other services and programs offered by the Tribe\nrequires continued availability of training - within the\ncommunity - to community members. For more than four\nyears we have been involved in combination college\neducation/in-service training programs with colleges and\nuniversities in western Washinton, and have thus successfully\ntrained several Tribal and community members as key staff.\nWith the development of newer, and particularly the health\nprograms, it has become apparent that a system is needed\nto offer the formal aspects of the training or education\ncloser to the community, and tailor them to community needs.\nCushman, once the site of our trade school, offers perfect\nfacilities for these programs. Its proximity to our health\nservices, and the cooperative relations established with\ncolleges and universities in the area, make it a highly\nfeasible site for a health careers education program with\nin-service training associated with it. Our needs in this\narea extend into training community members in the dental\nassistant, nursing, practitionering, technician, and\nmedic fields, as well as preparation and motivation into\nmedical and dental schools. Similarly, it is well\nsuited to the training and education needs of the Tribe and\ncommunity in other areas such as education, social service,\nmechanical, and other practical fields. To accommodate\nthese programs virtually no alterations of the physical\nstructure of Cushman need to take place.\nThe overall program proposed for Cushman then spans\nthe range of health and supportive services necessary to\nprovide individual and family health, while strengthening\nthe family and community units by increasing our ability\nto provide the needed services ourselves.\n12\nVI. MECHANICS OF PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION\nUpon approval of the appropriation to reacquire\nCushman Hospital, the State of Washington will need\napproximately two years to complete the phasing out of\nits uses of the facility. While we have already been\ninvolved in the development of specific programs within\nthe Cushman proposal, funding for these programs cannot\nbe secured until we are certain of the time we would\nbegin implementation. The two year \"phase out\" period\nrequested by the State will be used by us to complete\nall aspects of planning and begin implementation of the\nproposed services.\nOur goal is to implement these services through\ncontracts with the state and federal offices and agencies\nalready charged with the responsibility of operating them,\nand without additional \"special appropriation\" funding.\nThese services will be set up and operated as self-\nsufficient businesses within the existing contract\nopportunities. The State Department of Social and Health\nServices has expressed a willingness to work with us on\nthis basis, and our investigation of the operations of\nsimilar, non-Indian programs indicates our goal is\nrealistic. Given the success of our present efforts to\ndevelop our Tribal economic base, we hope in the future\nto be capable of operating these services at their optimum\nlevels without reliance on public funds.\n13\nVII. POLICIES OF THE INDIAN SELF DETERMINATION ACT\nIt is important to note that the proposed programs\nare also within the policy intents and purposes expressed\nin The Indian Self Determination and Education Assistance\nAct, PL 93-638, and its regulations, as valid purposes\nof grants under that Act., The Act requires that land\npurchases under its authority be intended either to\npromote and facilitate tribal development and administration\nof programs and services to Indian people - with emphasis\non education and health programs, or to assist the Tribe\nin developing its governmental capacities, administration\nof programs under contract, and to facilitate Tribal\ndirection to federal programs intended to benefit the\nTribe's service population and Native Americans generally.\nAll of the programs proposed for Cushman are within\nthe traditional purposes of the Cushman site, and directly\nimprove our ability to administer our programs and provide\nservices to our community ourselves.\n14\nUNITED STATES\nDEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR\nINDIAN FIELD SERVICE\nTacoma Hospital,\n30101\nTacoma, Washington.\n1930\nJune 3, 1930.\nHon. Commissioner of Indian Affairs,\nWashington, D. C.\nMy dear Mr. Commissioner:-\nI wish to make the following report in regard to the\nU. S. Tacoma Hospital. From July 21, 1929 to April 1, 1930,\none hundred and seventy-nine (179) patients have been admitted,\nas follows:\nIncipient\n50\nMod. Advanced 113\nFar Advanced 16.\nOf the latter, most of them were from Alaska Board of Education.\nThere have been, three deaths among the children - all among\nIar advanced cases.\nThere have been 131 tonsilectomy operations and 17 major operations;\nviz: appendectomy, amputation, removal of kidneys, removal of\ntumors, removal of loose body from knee, etc., making a total of\n150 surgical cases. One hundred fifty-three (153) patients have\nbeen treated on reservations at home - at Oakville, Tahola,\nLaPush, Muckleshoot and Puyallup.\nSunming up the cases, we have as follows:\nHospital or bed patients 259\nOut patients treated in\nDispensary\n366\nPatients visited at home 153\nTotal\n778.\nThe general hospital, Ward D, was opened to patients\non January 1, 1930, and the work is growing very rapidly. Fifteen\nmajor operations and over 125 minor oberations have been performed,\nand many patients turned away for lack of room, and the force is\ntoo small to take care of the work. Ward D is'a two story wooden\nbuilding at least 25 years old. It has no elevator, and the\npatients have to be carried down stairs after the operations are\nperformed.\nI feel there is great need for this work here, as many of\nthe Indians need surgery and are unable to be taken care of on\naccount of lack of funds.\nI would recommend that an appropriation be asked of\nCongress to build and equip an up to date hospital of at least\n60 beds here for general work, and that Supervisor Davis be\ndirected here at once to make plans and estimates for the\nbunget. erection of this hospital so it can be considered in the next\nOur work here has been appreciated by the Indians\nand has been far reaching, as we have reached every Indian\ncommunity in Western Washington. The tubercular work has\nbeen very satisfactory. We have already discharged 18\nincipient cases as arrested. We could not accomodate the\nmany applications. But, with the enlargement after July 1, 1930,\nwe will be able to serve the territory with greater setisfaction.\nI have nau considerable experience with tubercular children\nin New Mexico and Idaho, but none have made better progress\ntoward recovery than the patients in the Tacoma Hospital.\nThe location of the Tacoma Hospital is the best in the\nNorthwest, and I again recommend that provision be made to\nask Congress to acquire title to the property, which should\ninclude a strip of land between the Hospital and the Railroad\ntracks (tract No 6, containing 7.4242 acres), in order to\nretain control of the railroad siding.\nVery truly yours,\nJohn N. Alley, A alley\nSuperintendent.\nOFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS\nFIELD SERVICE\nTacoma Hospital,\nTacoma, Washington.\nJanuary 9, 193\nCommissioner of Indian Affairs,\nWashington, D. C.\n2529\nJAN 151934\nMy dear Mr. Comissioner:-\nReferring to various correspondence regarding possiblity of\nCongressional action looking toward the purchase of the grounds on which the\nTacoma Hospital is located, from the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, I have recent-\nly been requested by several of the Puyallup Indians to advise the Tribe the\npresent status of this proposed sale. They would particularly like to know\nwhether a bill has been prepared to cover the deal. I would appreciate it if\nthe Office could enlighten me on the subject, in order that I may inform them.\nThe demand for medical attention among the Indians of the Northwest\ngreatly exceeds the Government facilities available, We have a patient census\nat the present time of 255. It is usually 260 or more. This is a crawded\ncondition at this Hospital. In addition, there is a large waiting list of\nprospective patients who really need medical attention very badly. This is\nparticularly true as to those requiring surgical attention. Our one ward that\nmay be used for this class of patients has = normal capacity of 25. We have had\nto crowd them in to as high as 35 at times. The human element enters the picture.\nWhen cases are brought in, requiring immediate attention in order to safeguard\nlives, it is hardly possible to reject them even though we are already filled to\ncapacity. In order to care for the demand, we should have a bed capacity of\n75 for general and surgical cases. Even so, the ward would be filled at all\ntimes. In addition to requirement for greater capacity, more modern facilities\nshould be provided. For instance, there should be an elevator in the building.\nThe surgery is upstairs. Very sick patients must be carried on stretcher to the\noperating room up a winding stairway. This is not as it should be. We make the\nbest out of a makeshift situation. But the proposition of new and modern\nfacilities should be given careful consideration. I believe that investigation\nwould reveal the fact that our work among the Indians of this territory has\nmaterially benefitted their condition, and that the large majority or our\nIndians appreciate the services rendered by the Tacoma Hospital for them.\nI earnestly solicit the valuable assistance of the Office in consummating\nthe purchase of the plant and the subsequent provision of more adequate\nhospitalization facilities.\nSincerely yours,\nJohn John N. Alley,\nA\nSuperintendent.\nMinutes of Puyallup Council. June 20, 1931.\nMeeting is being held at U.S. Tacoma Hospital, 11:00 A.LL, and\nchairman, Mr. Silas Cross, calls meeting to order.\nSupt.

John Collier\nCommissioner of Indian Affairs\n19950\nWashington, D.C.\nAPR 2 \" 1934\nDear Sir:\nWe, the duly authorized officers and delegates of the\nPuyallup Indian Tribe, wish to acknowledge receipt of your\nletter of March 28, 1934, in which is enclosed a. copy of a\nletter addressed to the Hon. B. K. Whesler, chairman,\nCommittee on Indian Affairs, United States Senate, dated\nJune 13, 1933.\nWe have. read the two above communications and under the\ncircumstances, now that you have fully explained the matter,\nTO realize that due to the present financial situation and\nthe Iact that the Indians are receiving an annual Fental for\nthe property that S-1513 cannot be enacted at this time.\nWe sincerely appreciate your interest in this matter and\nfeel confident that when the proper time comes you will be\nonly too glad to approve of this measure, urge its passage\nand see that the purchase of the hospital site is finally\nconcluded.\nIn referring to the letter addressed to the Hon. B. K.\nWaseler under date of June 13, 1935, we observe that Secre-\ntary of the Interior Ickes suggests that when the Bill is\nfinally submitted to Congress that the following words be\nadded to the Bill:\n\"But no transaction carried out under the\nterms of this Act shall operate to change\nthe status of members of the Puyallup\ntribe as wards of the United States. II\nWe are heartily in accord with the proposed wording and\nwe understand by this that even though the Government does\npurchase the hospital for general hospitalization purposes\nthis added clause would protect the members of the Puyallup\ntribe so that they too would be entitled to hosmitalization\nat this institution. and the general benefits as Indians.\n72042-07-311-\npl2\nDP\nSelas 62025,\nChirden mecker\nSu\nOF INDIAN AFFAIRS\nFIELD SERVICE\nTulalip Indian Agency,\nTulalip, Wash.\nMarch 4, 1937.\nCommissioner of Indian Affairs,\nWashington, D. C.\nDear Sir:\nReference is made to office letter of February 27, 1937 relative to\nreport on H. R. 4290.\nI met with the Puyallup Council last night and discussed the bill and\nby unanimous vote the Council authorized me to make a favorable report on\nthe measure.\nAs to the appraisal made in 1931, this property represents a fair\nvalue 02 the property ai that time. Since 1931 permanent improvements of\na nature that attach to the property have been made which increase its\nvalue very materially. A fill of five acres of swamp land facing the street\nmaking a very valuable and beautiful lawn has been accepted by the good\nmanagement of the Superintendent, Dr. Alley, involves the moving of 400,000\nyards of material which could not be done at commercial rates today for less\nthan $150,000.00. The heating plant of the institution has been renewed.\nA mile of steam tunnel constructed at a cost of some $75,000.00; pavements\nhave been widened and extended and sidewalks built worth more than $10,000.00;\nlandscaping, building of a pool, tennis courts and gardens are worth more\nthen $10,000.00 and the wonderful water gravity system from an enormous\nspring of pure water has had the main pipe line, which was wood at the time\nof former appraisal, replaced by cast iron pipe worth $25,000.00; and thou-\nsands of dollars have been expended in repair and improvement of the other\nbuildings, which are in a better state of repair today then they were in\n1931. It is recognized that the Government, as lessee of the Puyallup Tribe\nhas made all of these improvements and investments. However, permanent\nimprovements which attach to the land made by a lessee become the regular\nproperty of The land owner. The site of the Tacoma Hospital is worth\n$200,000.00 more to the Government than it was in 1931. It is recognized\nby the Puyallup Council that the water system mentioned above, as a unit,\nis worth $150,000.00 is already the property of the Government and not the\nTribe. This water system is tributary to this particular site and tract\nand is an asset of value to the tract. It is recognized by the Puyellup\nCouncil that the service rendered by the efficient and convenient Tacoma\nHospital to the Puyallup Tribe is an item of great value to their people.\nof Indian Affairs. March 4, 1937. (Page 2)\nThey are willing after discussing all of these considerations to\naccept the former appraisement of $228,525.00 as written in the bill\nand as stated above voted unanimously to authorize favorable report as\nit stands.\nMy only personal criticism of the measure is that it provides no\nprotection for the indigent Puyallup Indian who, through sale of his\nallotment, either by himself, his parents or grandparents has no home\nand thus comes into the last of his tribal heritage in cash, a form of\nvalue which is easily dissipated. The majority, I feel confident, would\nnot approve of any other disposition of the money. If all those who\nown homes might be paid in cash and all those who have no homes should be\nrequired to purchase homes with their twelve or fifteen hundred dollar\npayment, I would feel much happier about the sale. This, however, probably\nwould not meet the approval of the majority of the Indians and that in the\nevent the bill is passed in its present form, the best we can do is for\nthe Council and the Superintendent to urge all of the homeless participants\nto use this last chance to acquire permanent residence.\nI recommend, therefore. with the suggert of the Puvallup Council that\nthe Office report favorably upon the bill as proposed. The Government is\nsecuring an excellent bargain in this wonderfully located and highly\ndeveloped hospital site. Lodernization of the buildings will make this\none of the finest institutions in the country. It is already a show place\nfor the city of Tacoma and for the Indian Service.\nVery respectfully,\n0. C.

The correspondence from Mr. Sempson requests the\nPublic Health Service to converb the Recome Indian Hospital, now a\ntubarculosis senatorium, to 3. general medical and surgical facility.\nThe tuberculous patient load at this facility continues to\ndecline. Many of the patients now at the Bacoma Hospital are from\nAlaska and Montena. Pleaning is proceeding for the discharge to their\nhomes of these patients upon completion of their treatment. Since\nbeds now are available locally for the treatment of tuberculous patients\nin Aleska and Montens, no patients are being admitted to the Sacoma\nHospital from these two States. The conticued decline of the patient\nload has reduced the requirement for personnel at this hospital. As\nindividual employees resign, replecements are not necessary. Several\nsurplus employees have accepted transfers to other Public Health Service\nIndian Hospitals.\nWe have given careful consideration to the conversion of this\nhospital to a general hospital, and have concluded that this is not\nproctical or decirable. One of our long-renge objectives for the\nimprovement of Indian health is the endopuragement of Indians to use\nlocal comunity familities. Based on our experience, the requirements\nto be mat, and our efforts to provide high quality services, we believe\nthat the use of local community familities 10 the enswer to the problems\nof general medical and surgical care to Indians in the Northwest.\nOur present her/Hing of authorizations for local medical care\nwill be reviewed in Might of Mr. Sarpson's criticisms of our methods.\nVe appreciate the concern shown by the Inter-State Ertbal\nCouncil's Heelth Committee, the verious trelbal connectio, and the other\nIndian groups to Vachington for adequate nolical care for Indians.\nVe hope that they will realize that the declining need for a\nconstorium 10 evidence of the progress usle in controlling 8, serious\nhealth problem.\nBest Possible Scan from Poor Quality Original\n- 2\nOfficials of OUT Portland Area Office are really to meet at\nmy time with representatives of these groups to discres medical and\nhospital care.\nThe correspondence which you forwarded with your letters of\nApril 9 is enclosed.\nSincerely yours,\nJune Assistent James R.

EVANS\nGOVERNOR\nMay 7, 1975\nThe Honorable Floyd Hicks\nUnited States Representative\n1203 Longworth House Office Building\nWashington, D. C. 20515\nDear Floyd:\nIt is the policy of the State of Washington to develop a more\nsystematic community level diagnostic and treatment planning pro-\ngram for juvenile offenders. Specifically, this would involve\nthe closure within eighteen to twenty-four months of the present\nfacility at the Cascadia Diagnostic and Treatment Center. If the\nstate were fully reimbursed for its investment in Cascadia, it\nwould have no objections to its transfer to the United States to\nbe held in trust for Indian use.\nWhile the state supports the transfer, I believe full responsi-\nbility for the funding and operation of the new facility, outside\nof those areas where the state would provide funds under contract,\nshould be accepted by the responsible federal agencies, which in-\nclude the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Indian Health Service.\nIt would be tragic if the high hopes which are envisioned by such\na transfer were destroyed because of inadequate management or\nfunding. Furthermore, in any planning for the use of the new\nfacility I believe all Indian constituencies need to be consulted\nand involved.\nThe proposals for the use of Cascadia are exciting and innovative.\nThe state administration is agreeable to transfer the property\ngiven adequate compensation and anxious to work with Indian people\nand the appropriate federal agencies on plans for the future.\nSincerely,\nDave\nDaniel J.

Hicks\nUnited States Representative\n1202 Longworth House Office Bldg.\nWashington, D.C. 20515\nDear Rep. Hicks:\nI would like very much to support the request of the\nPuyallup Indian Tribe for the line item appropriation of\n$1,718,938.05 in the Indian Affairs budget in the name of\nthe Puyallup Indian Tribe so that this tribe can assume man-\nagement and responsibility of the old Cushman Indian Hospital,\nnow Cascadia, to provide services to the Indian people.\nThe present facility known as Cascadia Diagnostic\nCenter has a long and dramatic history in Northwest Indian\nrelations. Congress originally appropriated funds to build\nthe structure and purchased some 38 acres of reservation land\nfor \"Indian sanatorium\" purposes. In time it was converted to\na tuberculosis hospital. With the decline in that disease,\nthe facility was turned into a diagnostic center for processing\njuvenile delinquents. The state wishes to phase out this\ndiagnostic center and regionalize those services, but it has\nalready invested $1,718,938.05 in much needed repairs. These\nare the dollars the state would have to realize before they\ncan transfer these services to the various regions. I am\ninformed that the title would be deeded to the Department of\nInterior in trust for the Puyallup Indian Tribe for \"health,\neducation and welfare\" services for all Indian and Native\nAmerican people within a service area comprising Washington,\nOregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska.\nThe House Social and Health Services Committee, which\nI chair, is very interested in the problems confronting our\nIndian population, of which 90% of those over 18 are chronic\nalcoholics. We will be studying during this interim problems\n3\nHon. Floyd V. Hicks\nMay 6, 1975\nPage 2\nwhich are unique to our Indian citizens. I hope you will\ngive favorable consideration to their request.\nKindest personal regards,\n\"Dre\nA. A.

Wommser\nFROM\n:\nRobert M. Mommsen\nRegional Architect, ROFEC\nSUBJECT: Cascadia Institution, Tacoma, Washington\nYou have requested our advice to the Puyallup Tribal Council concerning\npossible uses for the Cascadia buildings for various health and social\nservices. Although we do not have sufficient information on either the\nexisting buildings or the proposed programs to make specific recommend-\nations, we can offer some general guidance at this time and perhaps assist\nfurther after some preliminary decisions are made. I suggest the sponsors\nproceed with the following steps.\n1. The sponsors should decide the types of programs they wish to\nprovide in the facility. You have read us a list of possible activities\nso apparently some thinking has been done on this.\n2. The sponsor should obtain the best professional help available\nto them to develop the functional program for each proposed activity.\nThe program should cover such items as a description of the care or\ntreatment to be provided, the type of patient or client, the type and\nnumber of staff, the kinds of spaces and major equipment needed, and funct-\nional relationships.\n3. Complete plans and specifications of the existing buildings\nshould be secured. Those furnished us are the floor plans only (Sheets\nA6, A9, All, and A19R) of the remodeling of the original buildings designed\nin 1961 and a partial preliminary set of drawings for the cottages\nprinted in 1968.\n4. The sponsors should obtain architectural/engineering services\nto make preliminary layouts of the best and most economical uses for each\npart of each building based on the proposed functional programs and the\nexisting conditions. A reasonably complete evaluation of the condition\nof the existing buildings should be made prior to laying out the proposed\nuses. Regulations of the licensing and third party payment agencies should\nbe secured and considered in developing the proposed uses for the\nexisting spaces.\n5.15\nPage 2 - William Knestis\n5. A decision should be obtained from the State Department of\nSocial and Health Services and the State Fire Marshall on whether the\nbuildings will be considered existing or new construction for the pro-\nposed uses under the applicable regulations and codes.\n6. Those proposed uses requiring a Certificate of Need should be\ndiscussed with the State Department of Social and Health Services.\nIt may very well be that no additional inpatient beds will be permitted\nin the Tacoma Area.\n7. The above studies should be adequate to develop cost estimates\nso that funding sources can be investigated prior to making final\ndecisions on the proposed uses and further development of the design.\nAlthough we believe the above steps are necessary prior to establishing\nthe uses of various parts of the buildings, we can offer some general\ncomments which may be of help to the sponsors in their decision process.\n1. Since the cottage buildings have narrow corridors and no doubt\nwill be considered \"new construction\" for in-patient use, they will not\nbe suitable for conversion to nursing home. New nursing homes require\neight foot corridors and other conditions usually not provided in\nbuildings designed for residential uses.\n2. Although the main building was remodelled to provide many\nlarge spaces, it was originally designed as a hospital and would be the\nmost adaptable for in-patient use. It has wide corridors and stairs,\nelevator shafts, etc. Also, it will probably be considered to be\n\"existing construction\" under codes and regulations governing in-patient\ncare. The Uniform Building Code requires in-patient buildings to have\nautomatic fire sprinklers throughout for new construction. Existing\nfacilities require sprinklers only in hazardous areas and large\nwindowless spaces.\n3. The cottages might be best suited for administrative and\nSocial Services offices. They require smaller rooms and less plumbing\nthan most other uses.\n4. The sheltered workshop would best be located in the larger\nspaces on the ground or first floors near loading docks and elevators.\nSprinkler protection may also be required.\n5. The medical clinic requires small spaces convenient to\nPage 3 - William Knestis\nentrance for the public so the ground or first floor of the main building\nwould probably be the most suitable. One of the cottages might also be\nused.\n6. The large open spaces in the main building which have most\nrecently been used as dormitories are not suitable for patients. New\nconstruction standards require that patient bed rooms accommodate no more\nthan four persons. This will require additional expense to construct\npartitions but the building should be adaptable to division into\nsmaller spaces with a central one-hour fire resistive corridor.\n7. The Children's Protective Services, the Group Home for\nChildren, the Transient Family Living Units, and the Home for the\nAged probably would be best accommodated in the cottages; however, the\nmain building might also be suitable. Decision on the best location\nwould depend on the program requirements concerning such things as\nwhether kitchens, toilets and baths will be provided in the individual\nunits or centrally. We have no plot plan with which to assess the ease\nof movement among buildings.\nIf this project proceeds further and we can be of assistance to you or\nthe sponsors, we will attempt to do so to the extent that other committ-\nments will permit."
