Through months of research, ex penditure or stamps for corres pondence and several trips to Port land al private expense, .Mayor A. V. Pipes, iv V o retires from ufMee next Tuesday night, will present Medford with a belated Christmas present when lie f ilo.-s tomorrow with the county clerk's office a deed giving the city ownership without any restriction whatever of the city park. Heretofore the city park, which is the plot of ground bounded by Ivy, West Main. Holly and 8th streets, lias always been regarded a.s having been deeded to the city by the Southern Pacific railroad j for park purposes only, but Mayor Pipes' investigations developed that the Southern Pacific railroad did not at any time ever own the dte, and he has obtained a deed for Medford without any restriction from the North American company of 'New York o i t y . a N e w J e rscy corporation, whose successors orig inally deeded the park site for park purposes, only. In other words, the title to the city park is vested complete in the I city by this deed, which the mayor files toinorruw, and the city can ' do as it pleases with this plot. j The Library park immediately i adjoining and generally rewarded erroneously as a part of the city; park, the two parks 'being separ-i ated 'by only Ivy street between them, was deeded many years ago to Medford by Die late C. C. P.eck-j man ot Jacksonville witnout any restriction. Thus Medford owns both parks. which are practically one. to do with as it pleases any time in the future.
