WRESTLING
FOR A CITY
PROGRESSIVA cities long ago realized thai in their
upbuilding, beauty and adornment mean as much as
permanency and stability. The more attractive a city is
made the greater the individual personal gain.
From a purely practical standpoint, the beautiful, sym
metrical and imposing, pay as well or better than tho solid
and substantial. Experience has demonstrated the value
of the city beautiful.
The Mail Tribune has for years urged tree planting,
cleaning up and other preliminary steps in the line of the
program for the city beautiful. It believes that the way
to secure the results desired is to make the program com
pulsory and by charter amendment, empower the council
or other authority to enforce a uniform system of improve
ments. But the proposed charter amendment has not yet
been enacted.
The women of Medford are responsible for much of the
civic improvement of the city. They can do far more than
they have as yet accomplished. They can actually create
the city beautiful, if they will but attempt it. To help
along the movement, the Mail Tribune places its columns
at the disposal of the women of Medford, to give publicity
to their views and suggestions and aid them in any move
to cany on their work for a city beautiful.
FORM ONE STRONG CLUB.
ONIC mistake being made in .Medford is the scattering
of support for social organizations.
There is a Commercial club, a University club, a Oatcr
Lake club, a (loft club, a Tennis club, a Rod and Gun club,
an Anglers' club.
The city is too young and small to sustain them all
creditably though each operates in a more or less limited
way and each has more or less property.
United, these A'arious organizations could sustain one
creditable city club and one country club, the latter so
located as to be of advantage
sport.
The inevitable result is that none of these clubs receive
the support necessary. Each has a niore or less half starv
ed existence.
Small cities cannot be exclusive. Snobbery cannot be
indulged in. Scratch the blue blood of the small town
aristocracy and the red blood of the common people flows.
On account of the limited number of each class, all classes
must unite to create one really successful club and the
sooner this is done in Medford the better for the city.
.Far better one strong club than half a dozen weak
ones.
CHANCE FOR
Til 10 Medford Commercial club has just completed an
accurate count of the number of dwelling houses
within the city limits of Medford. There is a totul of
1559. On the immediate outskirts are KM additional, mak
ing the aggregate 172!1. This excludes everything of a
business block nature and is confined strictly to self-contained
residence buildings.
This gives a splendid basis for analysis. It is a well
known fact that there is a scarcity of houses here even
during the naturally dull seasons of the year, but it is
doubtful whether any comprehensive estimate has ever
been possible as to actual needs. At the same time it
points out the .excellent opportunity for investment' in
building operations, and the Commercial club is reaching,
out for capital in every direction.
The present population of the city, according to school
population and other trustworthy sources, is not less than
ten thousand. Six hundred of these people live in the bus
iness blocks, and the remaining liine thousand four hun
dred in dwellings. Within the city limits proper the
fifteen hundred and fifty-nine houses contain an average
in excess of six persons to the dwelling. Nearly five hun
dred residences were built in 15)10, and, judging I'roin visi
ble evidence's at this time, the same figure will be dupli
cated this year. This will leave still short approximately
as many the beginning of next spring. This condition will
appeal to investment seekers strongly.
It is unfortunate that there has not been a system main
tained in thv" past which would have kept official count of
all building operations, hut with the information now in
hand, the local situation can be outlined in a clear and con
vincing manner to parties seeking knowledge of invest
ment openings here.
