Central Point Pays an Important
Part of County's Taxes
Central Point, one of the gems that attach as pendants
to the I'aeiflc Highway, a-concrete necklace encircling tins
- west coast, steps into the picture tliis-weA to impress its .
- convictions concerning a duplication of the highway.
They will pojnt out: ,
Central Point for the 1927 assessment Is paying a special
school tax of f 6,704.93; city tax, 1 1,064.12; county and
state tax, S6J93.76, a grand total taxation of S24.til2.81.
Again, in the contribution to tho county and state taxes
amounting to SC.7U3.76, Central Pointers make up this sum
with L',4u.9:i for tho Btate, S4.386.82 for the county.
With regard to taxes paid to the general road fund, which
fund is used in Jackson County for tho construction and
maintenance of roads, Central Point pays S37.61, this
year, according to the books of the assessor. But Central
Point has never been made the recipient of any refunds
or this road money directly, though the provision was in
tho past that up to 1925 a 70 per cent of the payment re
verted to Central Point, after 1925 a 50 per cent. Ask
Mayor Leever about this. He will agree with the state
ment (list no refunds have been passed back to the tax
payers of his city, as originally provided should be done.
IN8IST ON ONE HIGHWAY
With Central Point paying a rather appreciable amount
of the taxeB and doing its share these many years for the
big highway, is It any wonder they now insist their Pacific
Highway Investment shall be carrying the traffic to and
through their community? The proposed second highway
proposition would divert much of the traffic no doubt to
a route passing more than 3-4 In mile outside and north and
wost of Central Point.
In resistance to the nt least partial nullification of the
voter decision to tax and build the Pacific Highway with
Jackson county money, and tho threat to a confiscation
of the Central Point property value's In a degree, these city
officials express appreciation for the negative attitudo
taken by Highway Commissioner C. E. Gates:
W. C. LKKVKR. mayor; L. HATFIELD, rcaorder;
It. H. PAXSON. treasurer; J. M. CUMMINOS, mar
thai; M. M. KINDLK, fire chlof.
COUNCILMEX: R A. Southwell, pres.; I. D. Lew
Is, K. E. Scott, Floyd Iloss, M, M. Kindle, n. F.
Jones.
Others of Central Point attesting thoir "thank yous" to
Mr. dates aro practically the entire community, both with
in and adjacent to the coriwrato limits of this little city.
PAYING 85 PER CENT INTO MEDFORD
Says 10. K. Ilrown of tho Damon Cafe: "I don't under
stand why Medford is ii'iHnting such a thing, which will
materially pffect business In Central Point. One high
way is enough. Thou, consider that 85 per cent of our
money going for supplies, goes directly to Medford. Do
they want to scale down on this Income? Surely not. Tlmo
will bring them into a more satisfactory state of mind as
concerns the wolfnro of Central Point." Similar statements
were made by the leading merchants in this interview.
Mayor Leever was a'wiunty court official and handled
much of the Pacific Highway construction work and ho has
.little patience with this second htehway scheme. V. J.
Freeman, for more thiin a third of a century a business
man In Central Point, deplores this controversy and brands
It a waste of tlmo anil money because not essential to the
interests of the tourists and local traveling public. L.
Hatfield, 20 years a merchant, adds his comments and in
stilt opposition to thei proposed duplication of highways.
Likewise Kenneth M. Heebe, chairman of tho school board,
and his associate mombers. Hamilton A. Pankey, Law
rence C. Grimes, Clyde; A. Holes. Postmaster Tex Is In the
first ranks of local protectionists. Add another in the real
estate firm of Ciamer and Sheley.'H. C. Faber's Cash Store
(tho associates In business with Mr. Faher) and Mr.
Faber Is continually extending bis business investments:
Boss and Ross, two merchants who saw service and know
how to fight for their rights: L. H. Koot, Heebe and Kindle.
' SOME POINTERS TO ENJOY-
Central Point In its "Pointers'' year book for tho high
school shows a graduating class or 21 for IK2S. They sug
gest a comparison with Meuford high. Medford is ten
times as largo as Central Point and on this basis Medford
' should have bad 210 in tho '28 class or twice tho number
that actually graduated. Central Point profits hv the com
parison and this pointer Is highly complimentary to the
school Interests of Central Point.
'omenvof Central Point nro alert to the conservation
of their city and in the list must be mentioned Mury A.
Moe, druggist. 43 years In the local pharmacy, tho 23 years
just past as owner.' Miss Meo will entertain you on the
highway subject, by Tight of residence.
There urn many thousands or dollars Invested ill prop
erties and commercial enterprises on the highway affect
ed by any movo mado to detract from tho valuations
present and potential, und It is a safe surmise that tho
state highway commission of which Hon. C. K. Gates of
Meiirorri Is a member, will act slowly and ultimately to
tho continued prosperity or the original blgbwuy people.
Olio citizen or Central Point observes that Medford
shoots aro 10 reet narrower than in his clly and traffic
problems already perplex Mcdrord. even to a row minutes
religious service in the evenln.-;s nt street Intersections. He
asks "Why does Medford want moro congestion? Whv
don't they move the Chamber or Commerce down where
it belongs, on the highway where tho tourist can and will
roglstor and take a tew minutes to Inspect tho products of
Itogue River valley?"
