JESSE LILLY
and Companion
Are Invited to Re Guests of the
£aipl 9t!
At the request of Mayor Thorn­
ton 8. Wiley, an Ashland planning
commission was organized Mon­
day night and tentative plan*
were outlined for a program of
civic betterment.
City Attorney Frank Van Dyke
opened the meeting by explaining
the duties and power* of a plan­
ning commission as set forth by
state law’ Chief among it* duties
is its right to recommend im­
provements for municipal health,
safety and betterment in regard
to which it make* definite sugges­
tions to the city council. Handling
of al) city zoning ordinance* is an­
other important feature. Further
clarification of the working* of
t.uch a commission was given by
Vernon Roberts, president of the
Medford
planning
commission
which ha* been active for several
years.
Dr. Walter Redford was chosen
to head the commission, assisted
by R. I. Flaharty as vice president
and Chester Corry. Lithia park
superintendent, as secretary. The
members are: G. H. Wenner and
R I. Flaharty, four-year terms;
Dr. W. J. Crandall and Chester
Corry, three-year terms. Dr. Red­
ford and Theo J. Norby, two-year
terms, and G. M. Green, one-year
term.
It is expected that the com mis­
sion will aid greatly in handling
of many problems that will arise
when activity begins on construc­
tion of the proposed cantonment.
Fred Cuthbert of the University
of Oregon, an authority on plan­
ning and a representative of the
League of Oregon Cities, will ar­
rive here this afternoon and will
meet with the planning commis-
sion and other representative* of
the city at the city council cham-
bers tonight.
FIXLESS TICKET
PLANNED HERE
The proposed fixless tickets for
Ashland are perhaps somewhat
misnamed, according to Police
Chief C. P. Talent, for their im­
portance is in providing a means
to lessen minor traffic violations
rather than any fixleas quality
they may have.
Violations at which the move is
directed will be illegal double
parking, over parking, parking in
no-parking zones and the run­
ning of stop signs. Chief Talent
emphasized that the police de­
partment will continue to temper
its policy with judgment, but with
the increased traffic expected in
this section it was necessary to
have some curb on these viola-
tions.
It was stated that illegal double
parking will be interpreted to in-
elude: parking too far from the
curb, parking too far into the
lane of traffic, parking alongside I
another vehicle or parking space
for more than five minutes, or
double parking without a qualified
driver remaining in the car. Dis­
regard for the existing parking
limits will be considered as over­
parking and non-observance of
stop signs and no-parking zones
also will be aimed at by the fix­
less tickets.
Violators of traffic rules cov­
ered by this plan will be fined at
the rate of $1 for each offense, it
was stated.

In view of a recent architec­
tural survey by Howard R
Perrin, registered architect state
of Oregon, indicating an inade­
quacy in the present Washington
school building, the citizens of
Ashland will be asked to vote on
the matter of a bond issue to raise
funds to handle the problem as
soon as definite plans may be of­
fered. The school board has au­
thorized Supt. of Schools Theo J.
Norby and an architect to survey
the situation to determine the
costs and to make necessary in­
vestigations in other communities
to see how similar situations have
been handled.
In making the investigation on
structural details and adequacy of
the school. Architect Perrin used
the Uniform Building Code, com­
piled by the Pacific Coast Build­
ing Officials Conference, which is
in use in many western cities.
Some of the important findings
of the investigation are:
The auditorium on the second
floor should no longer be used as
an auditorium because of a weak­
ness in the floor 'system and in
modern codes auditoriums are not
allowed above the first floor ex­
cept in fireproof
_
_
buildings.
The roof construction should be
reinforced as well as parts of the
exterior wall.
The boiler room presents a ser­
ious fire hazard and should be
enclosed with masonry walls hav­
ing openings with self-closing fire
doors.
The building should be rewired.
In conclusion the report states
that a thorough job of remodeling
must be done if it is to serve as a
school building much longer. Such
a remodeling job would cost close
to $40.000. Since the remodeled
building would still have many
undesirable features, the report
suggests that it would seem an
economy to plan on the erection
of a new building as soon as pos­
sible to eliminate the necessity of
spending money on improving the
present structure.
