South C Addition Platting Completed
Tho work of platting the South C
addition to Meedford has been com
Dieted by Oscood & Cumminps. This
addition lies just, outside of the city
limits on Riverside avenue, but will
bo incorporated within the limits of
Medford within a very short timo.
Owing to the fact that the addition
cannoi at present be connected with
the municipal sewage system, the
owners purpose to "put in n scwhge
system of their own, covering the
new addition.
While this addition comprises some
of the most desirable property ad
joining Medford and the requests for
lots has been great, it has been .de
cided by the owners that no lots will
bo sold until the plat has been ap
proved and lines laid out for the sew
erage plant.
