SELECTION of the site offered at Sixth and Holly
streets i'or the i'ederal building panic as a surprise
to a great many people, who expected that a site between
the t.vo depots' would be chosen, as nearly all postoffiees
are nowadays selected with a vith a view toward conveni
ence in handling mail.
The site selected is approximately, air line, 1000 feet
from the Southern Pacific depot and 2o00 feet from the
Pacific & Eastern. 'Phis entails the Southern Pacific's
transporting its mail from the postoffice free, but entails
an expense to the government in transporting the Pacific
& hastern mail. lth the completion ot the Pacuie ev
Eastern to a connection with the Oregon Trunk, and its
absorption by the latter, the bulk of the eastern mail will
be carried over it, and the expense of handling will be a
considerable item.
The selected site, on one edge of the business district,
will never be convenient to the business center. Jt will
entail an earlier closing of the mails, and a tardier dis
tribution, and eventually necessitate a substation for the
sale of stamps, etc., east of the Southern Pacific track.
But, on the other hand, the postoffice should not be located
in the business district, as it docs not increase, but rather
decreases the value of property in its vicinity for business
purposes. Federal buildings, iike county, city, depots and
other public institutions, do not benefit adjacent business
houses. The larger the town becomes the less importance
is attached to the location of public buildings.
The selection ol the site is probably due to the superior
enterprise ol West Side owners, who made up a purse tor
the purchase of the property and presented it to Uuncle
Sam for one dollar. Jlad the section between .Bear creek
and the Southern Pacific tracks shown similar enterprise
it would have probably secured the building.
The energy of the AVest Side is to be commended. It
is the spirit that makes cities. There are too many of the
property owners in the older section who think a city can
be created and institutions secured simply by raising rents
and increasing the price of property. Too many have prof
ited by unearned increment, grown rich through the ef
forts of others, who will not improve their own property
and ask such excessive prices that no one else can afford
to hence they drive business away and it is grabbed by
the more enterprising sections.
The selection of the A Vest Side site may enhance prop
erly values in its vicinity, because they are on a residence
rather than a business basis, but it will not depreciate
property values elsewhere. Vet if the AVest Side owners
do not improve their holdings and place exorbitant prices
upon them, they will toreo business to scatter elsewhere,
or drive it out altogether.
The population of a citv limits the profitable business
than can be done, and the business limits the rental that
can be paid, and business done at a profit. Too high ren
tals and too high valuations defeat their own object, force
business to seek new locations, build up other sections, or
drive it away entirely and lose needed capital and enter
prise to the city and country.
There should be no lOastSide, no AVest Side it's all
Medford and what helps one part of the city helps all
other parts. No matter where institutions may be locat
ed, so long as they are located in Medford that is the
principal thing and all sections should pull together to
build up all parts of the young city, for only by these meth
ods can Medford realize its dreams and become a metropolis.
