Section 2 Chicago Tribune, June 30, 1987 Citysuburbs blazing Antismokmg guns are pll would require funding for krtwork Experts testify in support of city ban as hearings open By Manuel Gaivan Aid David Orr (49th) proposed an ordinance Monday that would require developers of new public i buildings -to spend 1.33 percent of their project costs to fund artwork in the new structures. Orr, vice chairman of the Chicago City Council's Committee on i Special Events and Cultural Affairs, said the proposed ordinance would i cx" i uiucaac urc uiuiiuci ui ail vajuuils in the city and help local artists. Current city guidelines suggest that such developers spend 1 per By James Strong Contending that cigarette smoke is harmful to nonsmokers, supporters of a proposed antismoking ordinance turned out in force Monday as the Chicago City Council began hearings on the issue. Aid. Raymond Figueroa (3 1st), chief sponsor of the antismoking measure, insisted that the new law would strike a balance between the needs of smokers and nonsmokers, but he said, "Where these needs the need to breathe smoke-free air shall take priority." Statewide antismoking proposals were defeated recently in the Illinois General Assembly despite amendments to weaken them in an effort to have some form of antismoking legislation passed this year.

More than a' dozen proponents of the proposed ordinance testified before the council's Committee on Health, which appropriately cleared the aldermen's tables of ashtrays for the hearing. The ordinance would ban smoking -in public buildings and private workplaces, except in restricted areas. Dr. Diana Hackbarth, associate professor of community health nursing at Loyola University cited public health studies on the hazards of "secondhand" smoking on all nonsmokers. She also warned of growing concern over the effects of passive smoking on pregnant women and their unborn elevators, buses, taxicabs, O'Hare International and Midway Airports, retail stores, restaurants, museums, sports arenas and convention halls.

Under the proposed law, employers would have to provide smoke-free areas for nonsmoking employees. In any dispute arising under private employers' smoking policies, health concerns of the nonsmoker would be given preference. The ordinance would not affect bars, private residences, hotel and motel rooms, retail tobacco stores, meeting rooms in hotels and restaurants being used for private functions, or enclosed office workplaces occupied exclusively by smokers. The ordinance would be enforced by the Chicago Department of Health, and penalties would range from $100 for the first violation, $200 for a second violation within one year and up to $500 for each additional violation within a one-year period. Figueroa said that objections to the ordinance by the Illinois Restaurant Association have been "worked out" and that no groups of private employers have requested to appear at committee hearings.

Tobacco industry officials attended the meetings but asked for more time to present objections. No date was scheduled for the next meeting. children. 5 "The new target market for the tobacco industry is women, especially black and Hispanic women," Hackbarth said. "Smoking is portrayed as sophisticated, grownup," liberated, sexy, healthful and a way to stay thin.

"Lung cancer has surpassed breast cancer in women and now causes 25 percent of all cancer deaths in women. The risk of cardiovascular disease is double for women who smoke. But women who smoke or breathe smoke-laden air do not only harm themselves. Pregnant women smoke for two." Representatives of the Chicago Lung Association, the National Safety Council, the Chicago Medical Society and People Against Secondhand Smoking also testified in favor of the proposal. Dr.

Willard Fry, president of the Chicago Lung Association, said the evidence of the harmful effects of secondhand smoking was too strong to be ignored. He said laws were needed because the best scare tactics have had little impact on confirmed smokers. In criticizing the lack of adequate antismoking education programs, Fry said, "This country is going bonkers over AIDS, but it has no comparison to smoking" in terms of deaths. The smoking ban, except in designated areas, would apply to all enclosed public places, including The department, created in 1984, is responsible for developing and implementing the city's cultural policy through three agencies the Mayor's Office of Special Events, the Chicago Office of Film and Entertainment and the Chicago Council on Fine Arts. The fine arts council commissions or purchases artwork up to 1 percent of the construction cost of municipal buildings and works in collaboration with the city architect "We're absolutely thrilled to see this ordinance with softie teeth'," said Madeline Rabb, executive director of the city's Council on Fine, Arts.

Joan Harris, appointed commissioner of cultural affairs last week by Mayor Harold Washington, voiced her support for the program at the press conference Monday. The ordinance also would create a seven-member Public Arts Committee to review proposed projects, determine the placement of artworks and select the artists and their works. Orr said the ordinance will be introduced at Tuesday's full city council meeting. He said he expected public support because "we happen to believe taxpayers will support the idea that art is part of our society." Orr said the ordinance incorpo- Aid. David Orr rates the Chicago Cultural Plan's best recommendations and will create an effective program for public art.

In March, the mayor pledged "at least $1 million" in the 1988 city budget to help implement a new long-term cultural plan for Chicago. This, ordinance "outlines structures to gain community input, select and place works of art publicly-funded buildings in Chicago," Orr said. "It will bolster Chicago's position as a national and international center for all the arts." A similar, "1 for the arts" program has existed at the federal level for several years, operating under the scope of the General Services Administration. cent, oi uicir construction cosis on art and cultural projects. "Chicago has not been commis- sioning and placing the number of public art works it could have over the last nine years," Orr said.

"It will correct 'the program's deficiencies and generate up to $1 million in commissions a year, with SO to 75 percent going to local artists." Orr said research indicated that the current program can be strengthened by consolidating the under the Department of Cultural Affairs.

The court sent the case back to Arkiss to decide whether the tax violates the Illinois Constitution. The tax has been challenged by liquor dealers, both on grounds that the council violated its rules in passing the tax, and that the City of Chicago has no constitutional right to impose such a tax. Arkiss' ruling exactly a year ago did not address the constitutional issue. The tax, which supporters said would generate $3.4 million a year in revenue, is being collected by the city and held in an interest-bearing escrow account until all questions of its legality are resolved. The tax amounts to SO cents a gallon on liquor, 15 cents a gallon on wine and 12 cents a gallon on beer, Stanley R.

Kaminski, an assistant corporation counsel, said the city will go before Arkiss in about a month on the constitutionality issue. Cook County earlier imposed a liquor tax similar to that sought by the city and successfully defended it against legal challenges. The city liquor tax was a last-minute substitution last year for other taxes, including a levy on airplane fuel then pending before the council. After holding hearings on the fuel tax, the council dropped consideration of it and switched to the liquor levy. The liquor tax was approved May 14, 1986, when the mayor cast the deciding vote after a' 25-25 split in the 50-member council.

"In overturning the liquor tax, Arkiss found that the council had acted improperly in approving the tax as an amendment to the airplane fuel tax ordinance. He said that to be valid an amendment must be "germane," or relevant, to the original measure, and that when council decided to consider a liquor tax in place of a fuel tax, it should have drafted a new ordinance and held new hearings. After quoting from city council rules, the appellate court found that, "A plain reading of the rules reveals that there is no germaneness requirement" concerning amendments to ordinances. council eventually passed the fuel tax last October, and the legality of that levy has been upheld by the Illinois Supreme Court. It is expected to generate $36 million to $40 million a year depending on how much fuel is bought here by airlines and other plane owners.
