Kvcry citizen and tnxpn.vor in Mcilford is inU'iTxted in see
ing Medford continue to grow and is willing,' or should lie, to
do liis or herpnrt to bring this about. It (ins long ago been
demonstrated that anything that is worth having ' must be
paid for and it behooves every legal voter of Medford to in
vestigate the airport proposition, if possible to visit the site,
and then vote his or her sentiments.
It is the opinion of the airport committee that if this is done
the bonds will carry by n overwhelming majority next Tues
day,' and every citizen will then be proud to know that Med
ford will retain her enviable position on the national airways
and will become a key city and air government terminal..- ..
lint what is it' to cost is the question often asked. In order
to get an official opinion the committee asked J. B. Coleman.

J. R. COLEMAN, j
County Assessor.
In addition to the above, Mr: Coleman says the average tax
payer of Medford does not pay on a valuation of over 1,01)0.00,
which means that the averape'tax would only be $1.30 a year if
the. eity valuation continues to inerease as it has, and every
body believes it will, or 2.00 a year on present city valuation.
Medford has more than doubled in population in eight years,
and everyone hopes and believes it will repeat this growth in
the next eight years. Hut it cannot grow and prosper unless
every citizen and taxpayer does bis or her part.
Many smaller homes arc only assessed at :UI0.00 to 500.00,
which means a tax of 75 cents to 1.00 per year. - , "r ."
' Kvcuy citizen, whether in business or not, will be benefited,
bv the airport because it means increased population and prop
erty values, which will affect every day laborer, mechanic,
business and professional man, as weU as all property owners
Assessor Coleman calls attention to the decreased tax rate
in Medford, owing to increase in valuation, and says on the
m-esent valuation' of the city if the tax rate of 1927 were in
"force today the amount necessary tor tlie principal aim mieicbi.. g
on the 120,000.00 bond issue would be raised without any in
crease in taxes whatever.
' These figures do not take into consideration any returns
from the airport. The committee- is reliably informed that the
estimate for revenue for the first year from air mail, passenger
and express lines, aviation scliools,-air companies, shops, res- ;
taurants, private hangars, fees from planes using ,tbe municipal
hangars, pilots' quarters, etc., many of which have already been
applied for, would amount to 4,500.00 with estimated operat- j
ing expenses the-first year of 3,000.00, leaving a net income;;
of 1,500.00 to help pay interest and principal. j
Cities that have responded to progressive movements in the
past and have prepared therefor liiivc profited. The greatest
progress of the age today is air transportation. Medford re- j
sponded a few years ago by putting, in the first, airport in Ore-;
gon. This was recognized by the air mail service and Medford j
had the first air mail port in the state. ' The government recog- j
nixed this fact also, and established the first upper air meteoro
logical weather bureau on the coast here. It now wants to
locate one of the 17 super-radio stations in the I'nited Stales,
with a 24-hour service here, also a 24-liour full wcatlier nnreuu ;
and one of the large beacon lights, at a total cost of 100,000, and ;
all it asks is that Medford put in an adequate port here for the ;
...r,. landing of all sizes of planes, without which a radio, sta- j
tinn, weather bureau or beacon lights will not be needed.
Medford has stood for forward movements amU progress in
the past, and this committee believes, with the people generally
