Winchester Star, August 8, 1981
By IRVIN SHENDOW
Recently I have become disturbed by the faulty thinking and misinformation in The Star's letters to the editor and Open Forum columns. Like most people, I when I read misinformation, I would rather chuckle and shake my head in utter dismay than take the time to write and question the writer.
A very important issue is in front of City Council: Should the special tax paid by landlords fronting the Loudoun Street Mall be continued, and should the landlords on adjacent streets be expected to support the central core through a tax of approximately one half that on the Mall landlords? Before I give my position on these two questions, let me give some information about who I am and where I've been.
I HAVE BEEN in a family-owned business on the Loudoun Street Mall since 1958. My brother and I own the business, which is located in three separate but adjacent buildings. One we own. Therefore, we are both tenants and landlords. Our business also has branches in four other cities, all in regional shopping malls. Therefore, I have a good understanding of the cost of doing business in regional shopping centers.
I served as chairman of the Downtown Development Committee from 1970 to 1976. These were the years of conception and construction of the Loudoun Street Mall. I mention this not to place myself as an authority but to state that I have been involved in operating a business and that I have a knowledge of shopping centers and the economic climate and progress of our downtown since 1958.
IT DISTURBED ME when I read one opinion that the special tax paid by the landlords would force downtown tenants to raise their prices, making them less competitive with the new Apple Blossom Mall.
It's obvious to me that this writer didn't realize that regional shopping centers have merchant association dues. These are approximately three to five times greater than the special tax being considered for the downtown core.
For example, a typical 3,000-square-foot store on the Loudoun Street Mall would be enclosed in a building assessed at approximately $70,000. At the tax rate of 49 cents per $100 levied on Mall landlords, the tax would be $343 per year. A building with the same valuation on an adjacent street in the downtown core, taxed at the proposed 25 cent per $100 rate, would cost the landlord $175 per year.
Merchant association fees in regional shopping centers vary, but they are in the 30- to 40-cent per square foot range. Even at the 30-cent figure, the shopping center tenant would pay $900 on a 3,000-square-foot space — approximately three to five times more than the downtown merchant. Also, when you consider that the total rent for the shopping center tenant is in the range of $12 to $15 per square foot, versus the $2 to $4 per square foot for downtown tenants, the idea of losing the competitive pricing edge to shopping center tenants is ridiculous.
SEVERAL writers to The Star have made the statement that the Loudoun Street Mall idea is a failure and has been
a failure from its inception. I wonder what statistical date[sic] they researched. In 1973 retail sales on Loudoun Street from Piccadilly to Cork were $17 million. In 1980 sales were $28 million.
Also, in early 1974 prior to Mall construction, there were eight store vacancies. From 1975 through 1980, the Mall has averaged from 1 to 3 vacancies per year.
Prior to the Mall construction, how many landlords gave a face-lift to their buildings? Not many. Since 1975 over a dozen buildings have been spruced up. Prior to the Mall, how many restaurants were located downtown? I would venture to say that we now have three times as many. I believe this helps discredit those who say the Mall is a failure.
I FEEL every citizen in Winchester is directly and indirectly involved in the vitality of downtown Winchester. Approximately 25 percent of the city's business is derived from in the downtown core. The sales tax collected on this business activity, along with merchant license fees, constitutes a large contribution to the city's tax base, money that helps alleviate higher taxes on all Winchester taxpayers. Shopkeepers and their landlords have a very keen interest in the vitality of our downtown core. Also, what about the people they employ? Our business, for example, employees[sic] 30 full-timers and a few part-timers.
The majority of store square footage on the Mall is owned by landlords in favor of a mandatory tax which will be used to promote the downtown shopping core. As property owners, my brother and I share in this concept.
I feel that all businesses and services, on the Mall and on streets adjacent to it, have a sizable financial stake based on the vitality of the downtown core. The accountant, lawyer, dry cleaner, insurance agent, and so on (especially those who also own their buildings) don't want their customers and clients to walk through a deteriorating downtown core to get to their places of business.
It's my belief and hope that City Council views the Loudoun Street Mall and adjacent shopping district as an integral business complex. I hope Council provides the 25-cent property tax on adjacent-street business properties to help fund the DDC's goal — keeping people coming into our downtown.
You don't have vandalism and deterioration of buildings and loss of tax base when you have vitality in an area. Businesses that locate on streets adjacent to the Mall do so for one reason —location and its benefits. For shop owners, it's the foot traffic. Without customers, cash registers don't ring.
If any store keepers not on the Mall think the foot traffic brought downtown by Loudoun Mall merchants is not to their benefit, why don't they move and pay lower rents five to six blocks away? The answer is simple: The shopkeepers want exposure.
THE LANDLORDS of business tenants in the adjacent area should be obligated in doing their share of promoting the downtown business core. They should be accessed the 25 cents property tax. It's my hope that Council provides this means of funding and bases its decision on what's best for the city at large.

Taken with a Sigma 100-300 EX lens, too bad it turned out to be faulty, as did the other TWO I tried in store... hence the folder of pics about/from a Canon 300mm f/4 prime!
Think I'll steer clear of Sigma in the future.
A faulty tyre does not function as expected by the driver. A tyre fault could also be a result of poor design or manufacturing practices. The majority of tyre flaws can only be discovered after the tyre has been driven on a road or other surface. The faults that are frequently present prior to the tyre being mounted to the rim are listed below.

JNU Administration Reconfirms Its Casteist Character Once Again! .
Dean's Committee Decision on "Cut-Off" Criteria for OBC Reservation Upturned -JNU Reverts Back to Its Earlier Faulty "Cut-Off" Criteria Under YFE Diktats!.

Unite To Defeat This Casteist Ploy To Scuttle OB C Reservation ! .
In a most shocking mo\ e today, th~ JNU administration has yet again attcmptt!d to tamp~rwith the proper implcm~ntation ofOBC reservat1ons and social justice in JNU. As the student community is well aware. n decision was taken at the Dean's commiue~:' meeting of J71h June 20 I 0 in 1~1' our of an admissions model that would ensure correct implementation of OBC rl'Scrvations and fullilment of OBC seats. Today (J21b .July), almost a month Hftcr this decision in favour of correct implemrntation of O BC reserva lions, till' JNU ndminis(ration called ~ hasty meetin g of the s;~me Dean's Co mmit-tee, where its Nlrli er decision ·wns up(urn(:d (lnd revoked. The De~tn 's Committ~c has now recommended that the JNU .
administration continue to fo llow the frw lty. illegal recommendations of theAclitya Mukhe rj ec committee which have led to massive non-fulfilment of OBC seats for the nnst two years. .
This decision was apparl!ntly taken after a ·'legal notice" was sent by YPE's advocate Puneet Jain to the JNU admin istra-taon claiming that the admission model that .IN U is planning to follow this year is 'i Ilegal ' and violative ofthe Supreme Court directi\ ~s \is-a-\ is impkmcntation 0 r0 nc rt:S\!f\ ations. Based on thiS "legal notice··. the JN u administration sought the legal ad\ ice of two more lawyers (Mohinder JS Rupal and PP Rao). Both these lawyers as well as the JNU administration's own lawyer (not surprisingly) came to the opin ion that the Dean's Committee had taken an "illegal and wrong" decision on June 17'h and that JNU had indeed been following a correct model for the past two years! Thcrclore. the JNU administration called another meeting of the Dean's Committect implementation of OBC reservations. Let us not forget that today's decision is nlso a shameful rej ection of J 'U's o"n Academic Council's dt·d ion to do anay with the Aditya l\1ukht'rjcc Committee's recommendations on OBC res£>rvation. .
The JNU administration might try to ~xplain nnd justify this shocking and shameful volte-face~ but the REAL reason is crystal clear. May we ask the JNU administration: if indeed there was some' legal ambiguity' why did the administration not seek ANY lega l advice in the four long months since the AC meeting of J8lh March, where the Aditya Mukherjee Committee's rccommendations were clcurly rejcch::d? \Vhy did the administration wait till the last minute, when all the results are ready and when the admission process is underway? .
May we also remind and v. arn the ndministration: a ·fegalnotice ·or a mere letter from a single /aw\·er questioning the 'fegalilr ·a[rhe J.VV admissions procf!ss DOJ:"S NOTamount tv ale~a/injunclion. ur a .\lav order.from a courL ft is merely the opinion expressed by a lawyer-if the rasteist lobby can bring a couple of lav.ryers to d~:ti:!nd its casteist interpretation of the Supreme Courtjudgemenr, the progressive sections in JNU can (and in fact have already done so) provide legal recommen-dations questioning the administration's position. It is indeed shameful that the JNU administration has wilfully chosen to sch:ctively use' legal opinion' suitable to its w~ll known casteist agenda! .
Tht! student rommunit) has not furgou~n that ever since the Dean's Committee came up with its decision in favour of corre<.:t implementation ofOBC reservation-.., the YFE has consistently been attacking th1s decasion. In the past week, YFE has come up with two leaflets abusing the Dc~111's Committee's pro-reservation decision. In its posters, the YFE had called the Oean·s Committee·s (h:cision ·illegal' and had in fact threatt!ncd to sene a legal notice agmn~t JNU. It is therefore obvious that the casteist lobby c:onstituted by YFE and some sections in the f~tculty as wdl as in th~: JNU administr:1tion have together consgired to once more bring un the bogey of'legal ambiguity' to scuttle proper imnlcn~ntntion ofOBC reservations. What \VC have witnessed today is a well-thought out, well-planned game plan by the anti-rcs~rvntion lobby. .
The timing of Dean's Committet·'s vottc-f<1ce also revea ls the dubious game plan of this casteist louby: Had the Dtan\ Commitlt:~ not given a favourablt.: verdict in June, the JNU administration wa~ '"ell awure that it would have ro face massive opposition and resistance from prugn:ssive sections 111 JNU (including students :1s well as teachers). The admillistra-tion knew full well that its positiOn wn~ kg.ally untenable -the protract.:d debate in th1s campus on the correct method of implc!mentation ofOBC re~crvations had alrt.!ady been c:karly dinched. Therefore. th~ only way out for the casteist lobby in the administration to once more scuttle QBC reservations was to wait till the last minute. and TT IEN create sgurious confusion .
over some purnorted 'lega l ambiguity'! .
It is now the second \'leek ofJuly. nnd tht: evaluations ofall the examination pnper:; h:1ve been completed. JNU is on the verge ofannouncing i~ results for 20 I U-20 II and dearly, those opposed to socin Ijustic~ and reservations in the administra-tion have realised that the OBC <..juota i~ go1ng to be fulfilled this yl..'ar. And since thi~ is cumpkte anathema to the :mti-reservationists, tht:y have come up with this new ploy to delay the implementation ofOBC reservations this year too. .
The JNU admiuistration seems detcnniucd and hell-bent to cross all limits iu ifs single-minded endeavour to scuttle OBC reservations and social justice in JNU. II is determined to undermin e every single democr{ltic decision-making body in the campus-fwrn lhe Dcan's Committ~e. to the Academic Council, to tlw 12xec:utive Council -in its attempt to scuttle reservations. Nothing cou ld be more shameful for nn institution of JNU's rt::putntion. which has !tad the long tradition of upholding soc ial justice c:~ncl fighting to ensure equnJity and democracy. .
