Believing that a rerouting of the Pacific highway through Talent, is preferable to the straightening project which would miss the town altogether, members of the Talent Chamber of Commerce Monday- night passed a resolution protes ting present highway department plans, and asks the commission for a hearing for the presentation of facts and an alternate plan Talent citizens faced with pos sibility of the Pacific highway being rerouted along Bear creek, suggests that two curves in the road in city limits be eliminated and that the new pavement be laid through the townsite, gradually- swerving toward north end of new concrete road which terminates at second bridge from Ashland. Tal ent has been bisected by the Paci fic highway since that famous roadway's earliest, muddiest days Endorsement of the protest will be sought from Ashland Chamber of Commerce, the Jackson county chamber, the Talent city council and the county court before the resolution is forwarded to the state highway commission, Talent officials stated. The proposed changes are part of a general, straightening program being car ried out, piecemeal, over the Pac- ifif highway in Oregon, and would eliminate several miserable and dangerous twists in the slab be tween Ashland and Talent. It was pointed out, however, that the Tai-1 ent alternative suggestion also would eliminate the disagreeable I features of the two-mile strip, yet | would still route traffic near the business section. CARTER WANTS SEPTIC WATER The city attorney read a letter from Newberry and Newberry, at torneys for H. B. Carter, owner of land on which one of the city's septic tanks stands, complaining of condition of the tank and cit ing a contract with the Carter Land company from whom H B. Carter bought the land demanding that the tank be put in proper con dition within 15 days or suit would be brought. Carter was present and addres sed the council. The contract pro vided that he shall have overflow water from the tank for irrigation purposes, according to Nemberry’s letter and Carter claims that be cause of leakage of the tank he gets but about two-thirds of the water The matter was referred to the city superintendent, the water superintendent and water committee to investigate the con dition and possibilities of repair ing the tank, and to the city at torney to review provisions of the contract, which was entered into many years ago. It was stated that a tank erected by the same contractor on the Billings prop erty had also gone bad and that part of a city dam by the same men also proved defective. Councilman Applewhite stated that SERA officials had written him concerning the need and pos sibility of a sewage disposal plant for Ashland as a relief project. He said, he expected to go to Portland in a few days and would confer at that time with the official and report back to the council. He said Medford had such a project under way now, and that when their situation is cleaned up they would doubtless demand that Ashland do the same, as Bear creek flows through their city and playgrounds.
