Cnrkin this forenoon telcKrsiuhcd the public Bervico commission for un early lienring on the illxiiiauliinK of tlio JackRonvlllo-Moilford railroad problem, at which can be worked out I lie beat solution to protect the In terests of both William Barniim, the owner ot the defunct road, and tho city. At tho council meetlnd Mr. Carkln wiis also instructed to keep a wary eye out to prevent Mr. Darnum's pos sible removal of the rails alons the rlKht-ofway until the public sorvlee commission, which postponed the hearing last week for 15 days, has acted. Word reached tho city officials yes terday that Mr. llarnum. ignoring the 15 days' postponement of the hearing, had already begun to tear up the rails at tho Jacksonville end of the line, for tho purpose of selling them. It 1b understood, that Jacksonville officials sent a strong protest to the public service commission.

IhiIoh and such property become the property of the city. The council has also learned thut months am Mr. Ilar nuiu hud removed the poles and trolley wires from the city, and sold them. The Medford city council wants the remaining property unmolested until the rights of both the. city and Mr. llarnum are adjusted at a public serv ice commission lieurlng. The council especially wants to prevent, tho re moval of the rulls until a stipulation has been Imposed on Mr. llarnum that it the rails are removed he must place the city streets along the right-of-way in porrect paved order again. Mayor Alenderfor and most of the councilmen deem that tho right-of-way, apparently now valueless, should be kept intact and in the possession of the city, as it might eventually be come an important factor in the future development of the city. The mayor lolnt8 out that the same delapidnted ! condition existed up to a few years I ago with the old Pacific & Eastern iroad, and-that if that road had been torn up and removed Medford would not now have the big Owen-Orecon lumber mill, with what is now a finely equipped logging railroad.
