PLAN TO SOLVE
PAVINGPROBLEM
City Takes Over Outstanding Ban
croft Paving Bonds Assessments
Reduced to 60 Per Cent of Value
of Lots, Which Relieves Outlying

Tho following proposed solution ot
Metirord'fl problem In connection with
paving nssesfliuonts la offered by
Councilman T, W. Miles and wilt np
pcar upon tho ballot at tho Bpcclal
olcctlou In November. Mr. Miles ex
plains his proposal ns follews:
"I will stato nt tho outset that t
do not claim this plan ns wholly orig
inal, but samo has boon carefully con
sidered nnd worked out lnrgoly from
suggestions tnado by citizens who nro
deoply Interested In tho wolfnro of
our city with tho only object In vlow
of securing the best poRslblo solution
of this most Important problem with
which tho city Is confronted nt this
tlmo.
"1st. Tho City of Medford shall
tnko ovor nnd ansttmo nB general city
obligations nil outstanding Ihvncroft
i'nvlng bonds, tho nggrcgnto amount
or which is approximately $Cf0,000.
All lntorcst horontter accruing 011
such bonds shall bo paid by gcnoral
taxation, nnd tho principal thorcof
shall bo paid by tho sale of refunding
bonds ns soon horcaftor as such bonds
can bo sold to ndvantngo.
Hellevcs Out.Milo Vropci ty
"2nd. Kvcry assessment which lin'8
been lovlod for Btroet paving shall
bo scaled down nnd reduced to nn
nmount not exceeding sixty per cont
of tho valito of tho lot, oxcliialvo ot
Improvements, ngnlnst which tho as
sessment stands, tho basis of valuo
to bo that fixed by tho county assess,
or for purposes of 191C taxation.
Tho effect of such n reduction will bo
lo wlpo out from two-thirds to threo-
fourtha ot tho paving assessments
against outlying resldenco property,
a somowhnt less proportion In enso
of tho mora vnlunblo insldo resldenco
proporty, In tho caso of cornor resl
donco lots, tho reduction will bo
much groator becnusn tho said as
sessment for 1015 which Is tnkon ns
a basis will not bo substantially lar
ger than on tusldo lots, nnd will re
sult In 110 reduction at all on tho
assessments against insldo business
proporty.
'3rd. Tho city shall proceed vig
orously to collect all tho unpaid as
sosmonts remaining after making
such reductions,
"4lh. From tho funds so collected,
tho city shall repay to thoso proporty
ownors who havo heretoforo paid on
tholr assessments amounts Iu excess
of t such assesRinonts an so roduccd
tho full nmount of such excess with
lutorost nt G porcont from tho data
of such payment.
"Bill. Tho remaludor of tho funds
so colloctod from assessments, both
principal and Interest, shall bo placed
In a sinking fund to retlro tho bonds
Issuod to rotund tho present lluncroft
bonds.
Advantage of This I'lnn
"(a) It Is prnctluablo. No doubt
whatevor oxlts hut that It could ha
carrlod Into effeot. It is not abso
lutely nocossary to Isstio or soil any
bonds at tho prosont tlmo. Tho re
funding bonds can ho Issued, If It Is
found poBslblo to sell thorn nt tho
prosont tlmo, nt ns low or a lower
rato of lutorost than tho prosont Dan
croft bonds, otherwise, tho city can
wait a moro favorablo tlmo for soil
ing such bonds, as most ot the out
standing lluncroft bonds havo from
tlvo to six years to run. It Is doubt
ful whothor It would bo lawful to
use collections from assessments to
