' Needs Father. -
Included In the big KrlHl- t,f
businoHs transuded by the city
council last night wus the pan
nage of an amendment to the city
traffic ordinance, which forbids
the parking of any vehicle in nn
alley in the city day or night any
where In the city, the only chanse
In the ordinance making the time
of prohibiting parking in an alley
In the Ini sin ess district Include
the night time, instead of from
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., as heretofore,
and taking In the entire city.
The Council hlso received the
report of the apeclul citizens : com
mittee endorsing the plan recom
mending that a change be made
In the city charter to provide for
the commission-city manager form
of government, as explained here
tofore In this newspaper, nnd or
dered It placed on file.'
The next step In making this
propflsed ' change over the present
form of . municipal government
must come from the citizens them
selves, ns the muyor and city
council, although heartily In fa
vor of no mo Buch plan as was
drawn up by the ' committee, are
unanimously oppoHed to having
the city administration being put
In the attitude of sponsoring the
move.
. Not Council Idea,
Unless some civic organization
or group of other citizens outside
of city officials nsk the city nd
minlBtration to' make a "move to
ward bringing a b o u t such a
change, the subject will be drop
ped by the administration. The
council only had two of its mem
bers serve in nn advisory cnpacity
on the citizens' committee which
drew up the plan submitted Inst
night. ! '
However, there seems to bo no
question hut that the question will
be Torm&lly submitted to the city
council for action, by the central
civic council perhaps, as the pro
posed change seema to meet with
much general popular favor.
There Is ho doubt that if tho
council fs asked to take action,
there will be much debate and
long discission before the council
decides on Just what form of
commission-manager type shall bo
adopted, hp Mayor Pipes and most
of the counellmen differ widely
on various features of such a new
government. This was shown Inst
night when the mayor and various
rouncllmen ' expressed disagree
ment over some details of the
plan submitted by the citizens'
commltteo.
The maiiager-commlfHion form,
as a whole, meets with the general
approval of the city officials. They
onlv disagree as to details.

UN. CONSIDERS
REBUILDING OF
UI 10 SOUTH
VThefirsl year at Annapolis is
pretty 'ljard,"'he said ihis morning
apd the serious expression oh his
countenance was not -erased by a
smile. "We don't get many liber
ties then.' But we are . nllnwed
more as we enter each advanced
class. Three months of each year
are spent on the water, and that's
what I like. The first year we
went down around Panama. The
second year we cruised the eastern
coast nnd the third year sailed to
Italy, Spain nnd Knglnnd, which
was of course the most interesting
of all."
The first foreign port visited was
Barcelona, 'he explained, n big
celebration was In progress when
the midshipmen arrived nnd he
described things Jhere as "not too
good." An interview with Pope
Plus XI. and viU to the Vatican
and St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome,
he cited as the most Interesting
event of the cruise.
"The Vatican nnd St. . Peter's
cathedral," he stated, "were far
more beautiful than - anything I
had anticipated. In London I was
disappuinted In Westminster Ab
bey and the other buildings. They
were all so smokey nnd dirty. The
people I liked better, they seemed
more like Americans." i
Young Hnrrell had little else to
say about his first trip abroad.
He is a quiet youth and volunteers
no information unless urged, con
trnry to many modern ideas re
garding midshipmen, lie. seemed
more anxious to talk about the
other Medford boys; who are at
Annapolis and West Point.
Lowell Dew, Windsor Onle and Eil
win McDonald will enjoy a cruise
to northern Kurope this year, he
stated. . Dew is a first year man
and (iale ond McDnmild first class
seniors. Harrell's younger brother,
Penny, nnd John Connor nre com
pleting their first year at West
Point nnd getting along fine, he
said. He stopped to visit them be
fore coming west. He also visited
his mother, who Is nt present
located in Kugene, before coming
to Medford. . ..
officials, however, that tho city
contemplated no large amount of
Improvement work this year, be
yond the building of the new $17,
000 sewer extension on Siskiyou
Heights, the contract for which
was let recently to li. I. Stewart
& Son, 'and ft was contended by
City. Engineer Scheffel and others
that sewer work could not bo done
in the winter time, even though the
contractor should be willing to de
lay the work until winter.
The city has only seven labor-
Ing men employed regularly In its
various departments and these
are mostly skilled ones In their
kind of work.
Mr. Owen, also asked that the
merchants of the city and others
having any building or Improve
ment work In contemplation delay
such work until fall.
The city officials thanked Mr.
Owen for his calling their atten
tion to the mattar, and stated that
the city administration would co
operate to that end wherever it
could. , . h

early this nrtcnioon anuouiKi
(Hl that lie would kevp the
puhlli1 market uimmi thirhig the
nei JtO days, tit ai-cordancti
with the fliy immiiu'IIN r
ningciitciits to , t It a t e n d.i
reachiMl lat night.
Thve la a chance for the public
market to he kept In operation,
without expenso to the city, as the
council last night after long din
cu.ssion voted to turn the market 1
building over to the Pomona
grange, which la mado up of
the eight granges of the county, to
operate' a mnrke for ihe farmers
rent free, for tho'remainder of the
year if the grunge desired. It Is
now up to the grange to consider
the offer.
The council also. voted to allow,
while the grange is making up its
mind, the city mnrketmaster, who
lost that position when the marliet
was closed yesterday hy order of
the city council, to operate the
market In coopcrat Ion with the
farmers who sell at tho market,
at his own risk of getting anv re
nuinpratinn from hooth rentals.
Prior to the decision to make
the grange the offer, Mnrketmaster
Corlies had presented petitions
signed by ISO farmers and citizens
asking the city to continue the
market as a much needed neces
sity in p ru v iu iig a cen i in i i n i j
tor rarmers to dispose or their pro
duce and fruit, and made an earn
est plea in support of the reipient
for keeping the market open.
Cnrlii'H Aids l-'ai'iiiers,
Mr. Corlies made it plain that he
was doing this for the farmers who
so nrdeiWly wanted the market, and
stated that his salary of $!0 a
month as market superintendent,
was so little that It made little dif
ference to him.
In fact he agreed to serve for
whatever he could get from the
booth rentals the rest of the ye.ir
If the market was turned over on
that biusls, in order to help the
farmers, so confident was he that
the market would ho self-sustaining
the remainder of tho year.
The council and mayor, who are
opposed to spending any' further
city money to keep the market
alive, although they deplored work
ing any hardship on the farmers
or othor local growers using the
market to dispose of their prod
ucts, had voted to allow Mr. Cor
lies to keep the market In opera
tion himself the next few months.
Later on in the discussion th?
Idea of turning the building over
to the grange came up, and was
decided on. Councilman .1. O. Grey
was the only councilman to vote
against this proposition.
Market llainMntppcd.
Mr. Corlies explained that the
late spring nnd the fact that Ulv
erslde aVenue had been closed for
the past month because of highw-iy
Improvement' work, had greatly
handicapped the public market for
some time past, but that from now j
on would come the busy season of
tho market.
Councilman P. M. K e r s h a w.
chairman of the committee on pub
lic works, which commlltee was
later on delegated to conduct ne
gotiations with the grange for th?
use of the market, put up an in
effectual plea for the city council
to keep the market open the next
four months during the busy eu
