(A) The garbage ordinance of tho city of Med ford Is held constitutional In an opinion of the supreme court today, written by Justice McBrido and affirming Judge C. M. Thomas of the lower court for Jackson county. The validity of the ordi nance was attacked by ltuy Spen cer and W. H. Welly, who obtained contractu with hotels and restau rants, to haul away their garbage for hog feed. The opinion glvos the city authority to give exclusive contract to the City .Sanitary Ser vice, Inc., to dispose of the city's garbage. "Tho plaintiffs here allege, says tho opinion, "that they arc con ducting their' business in a careful and sanitary manner, and no doubt this Is true. Tho ordinance was not passed with refcrenco to the manner In which one or two Indi viduals carry on the business, but with reference to the manner in which all Individuals engaged In the business were conducting It, or thereafter might conduct It. It is easier to control the operations of a single concern than to watch and supervise the activities of two or half a dozen, and solicitude for the public health might well suggest to a city council the propriety of so centralizing the service as to have it under the municipal thumb without employing a large number of watchers or supervisors. No other decisions pertaining to Jackson county were handed ilovm by tho court today. JONES JOLT FOR KLAMATH BOOTIE FIRST IN OREGON PORTLAND. Ore., April 23.
