and the rest of the people of the
county, and this agreement must
be lived up to. As citizens of Med
ford, we recognize our duty, and
we will keep faith in the fulfill
ment of this obligation.
I'nder this' agreement, and In
duty of the county court to make
the selection. should the selec
tion made by them appear unsatis
factory to even a small number of
registered voters, they are entitled
to their relief under the referen
dum and the law makes It manda
tory upon the county court to call
a hearliiK of the people after they
have made their selection of a
site, for the sole purpose of ;de- ,
turminlntf whether or not any .
group of .voters desire to protest
and to present other sites. If other
sites are presented, the selection
of a site then sues to a vote of
the people.. . j
Knowln thut the funds for the
bulldlnn of the .court house have
already been provided and that the
city of Medford would soon be call
ed upon' to.' submit aites to. the
county' court, I proceeded in a
q u lot way two or three months ago
to secure data on various site
which have been put forward 'or.
aupKested at sundry times, and
iwhen 1 nad completed thin tak,
i,n i ne am ok our euy superin
tendent, we prepared a chart shuw
I Ins fix altes In different parts of
.the city, and I then presented the
, ,,, tl . ... i
J , - Tu, coun,cil for tneir
approval, Thin was done In ex
ecutive ficKftloii of the council on
June 7th, followinK a apeclal meet-Iiik-
Hlx memhera of the council
were present In thia executive sea
slon and the nix altes were freely
dlKcuNHed, and on motion of one
i of the councilman, which was duly
Hcconded, it was decided by a vote
of thrto to one to submit the six
site to the county court for their
consideration. Two of the nix
councilman who were present dur
Iiik most of the discussion left the
chamhurs before the vote was
taken.
My poiltlon in the matter at all
times has been to fulfill the ctty'a
part of the aKteement entered Into
at the time, of the removal of the
county seat. At that time some of
the members of the city council
and the county court under for
mur ad mitt 1st rat Ions viewed some
of the sites now under discussion,
including the city park and the
Washington school, und in view of
the fact thut I have been misin
terpreted and misunderstood, I
want to make my position cleat to
the public.
The city park site has been at
tacked on the ground that the erec
tion of a court house In the park,
would destroy Its recreational
1 fen lures, render It useless for out
, doors KatherliiKs, and take awuy
from the people their down town

Nothing could he
I more erronooun or Incorrect than
, uch HtutetnentK a these, and no
I man In Medford would do more to
resist dent rue Ive encroachments
u"" u"r "lttrl ,han I: anrt no m?n
nuum uu in it it io prt-'serve us
recreational value to the people of
Medford. That Is why I made the
statement that the bums are en
I'lnitchinK tipon the park to the
detriment of our own citizens, , for
many times during the summer
. months there can be seen loung-
Iiik about the park from two or
three to half a dozen or more
totiiih looking strangers with . a
newspaper, for a pillow, veritably
making a ' hobo bedroom of our
park. If a court house should
I adorn this site there would Imme
diately bo created a better atmos
phere in the entire park area, and
not a hobo would be seen any
when near, for a court house is
not the kind of scenery they enjoy.
Complaints about the hoboes in

Inn through the park are some-
j times annoyed by their hrazen and
, impudent manner. This menace

the court house, and our
on iteonte would be encouraged
