PAGE FIVE Medfords Praises Sung By Expert on Municipal Plans, Administration Foresight in Adopting Definite Objective Declared an Important Factor Department Heads Lauded The following address waj given by Professor Charles McKinley ot Reed college In Portland, over radio station KOAC as a part of the radio series on municipal affairs, sponsored by the lesgue of Oregon cities and the Bureau of Municipal Research. During the summer of 1934 Professor McKinley made a study of the city administrations of Hood River, Ore gon City, and Medford. This is hla report regarding this city: "Medford Is the largest of the cities studied and I cannot do Justice here to its many interesting and signifi cant enterprises. It has a much larger variety of functions because a city of 12.000 must have its government do many things that Hood River could not afford and does not need so acutely. For example, It has a complete code of regulations govern ing the erection of buildings and a competent engineer to see that theee are observd. It has an excellent air port with ample provision for hangar and administration services. Saw Opportunity. "But I wish to speak in more de tail of Its city planning work. Med ford was the second city In the state tov creat a city planning commis sion. It began Its activities In 1923. The need of a planning agency was particularly acute In M.ed(ord because Important sections of the town had been given street plans that did not match, and that Impeded through traffic. This was not the only reason why the progressively minded people there demanded the creation of a planning commission. They saw the opportunity awaiting the city to se cure an unusual playground and park development, by utilizing the delinquent lots that had fallen Into the possession of the city after the collapse of the pre-war. real estate boom. They also wished to save the city from the blighting effects of mixing commercial and business uses with residential development. And they were keen about creating a beautiful civic center in which the leading public Buildings would be beautifully and conveniently grouped about the central park blocks. Alms Reamed. "All of these purposes have been realized In large part as a result of the strenuous and intelligent effort of the Medford commission. Alter years of careful study of their situa tion their work was brought to cul mination when they secured the services of Jacob Crane, a nationally famous planner, to help them revise their zoning act. and develop their set-back line controls, their street plan and the park and civic center plan into a comprehensive and defi nite city plan. This study was em bodied in a special report which was presented to the city council In March, 1931, and which was adopted as the official city plan for Medford. "Another exampVe of foresight shown by Medford officials Is the acquisition and development of the beautiful Prescott Memorial Park, which lies on top of Roxy Ann moun tain some Beven miles from the heart of Medford. For a very small sum of money the city acquired 1700 acres of the crest of this peak, most of It covered with beautiful pine foreat. "On a summer day, as one drives up the 6 per cent grade on the road now being constructed from the val ley to the mountain top, one gets thrilling airplane view of the lovely valley, with Its dark green pear orchards and Its lush clover and al falfa fields encircled by the lofty peaks of the Siskiyou and Umpqua mountains. And when the road reaches the timbered crest, with Its grassy, spring-fed open spaces the visitor discovers a summer climate sharply contrasting with that which he left in the city below. It's Hot in summer. "It must be conceded that during July and August the Medford days get hot. Here on the mountain. In Prescott park, however, It Is delight fully refreshing, since the cool air currents from the Pacific ocean play upon this summit and give It the coolness of the coast. This Is a very unusual kind of park for a city In a warm summer climate to possess. Medford has the opportunity of de veloping It In a manner similar to that found In some European cities, but rarely used In America. It can use It not only for the customary picnicking and evening driving, but for overnight camping for boy and girl camping groups, and for the development of cottages by Medford residents on sites leased from the city. To be able to select either of two climates by a 15-mln-ute drive Is an opportunity given to very few cities and this la something that the Medford people may now do. Ilcnlth Officer Lauded. "Medford Is one of the few cities havlrur as health officer a man who. In addition to his medical training, is specially trained and experienced in both nubile health administra tion and bacteriology. As a regular part of his work In the control of contagious diseases the health of ficer. Dr. Inskeep. offers free dlag- of building regulation, the auper vislon of garbage disposal and street cleaning, the custody of all public buildings, the purchase of supplies for all departmenta except for the water service I which Is under a sepa rate board), the maintenance of the airport, the making out of the pay roll, and the looking after the odds and ends of city affairs. "He does not have control over the health, police, fire or water depart ments: but for all the other adminis trative functions he is the respon sible officer. The recorder and treas urer are Independently elected offl cera. but their work ties In very closely at many polnta with that of the superintendent, and the latter la most heavily relied upon for budgetary advice and general ad mlnlstratlve oversight by the city council. I have little hesitation In saying that if the charter were changed to make the superintendent a full-fledged manager with full con trol over all these agencies, he could render better service, much duplica tion of bookkeeping could be avoid ed, and a considerable reduction in overhead costs could be secured."

He realizes, perhaps better than anyone, the mistake he made last spring when he took on the field. In the Masters' tournament at the Augusta (Qa.l National Golf club without sufficient tuning up. Jones Is not going to be caught napping again this year, If he can help It. Hell profit by that un pleasant experience, be sure of that. He discovered that playing friendly practice matches did not remove the rust acquired In the absence from tournament play. Having learned his lesson, he has embarked on an exhibition tour. playing real matches of the stlffest competition available, which he hopes will bring him to the second edition of the Masters' in April ready to give better account of himself. Com in Close Doesn't Count. Bobby played fine golf In the tour nament last year, finishing ahead of many leading professionals and being tied with Denny Shute, who was the British open champion at the time. But the only sort of golf satisfac tory to Jones Is winning golf. His golfing skill is as sound as ever so the flock of sun matcnes should help him to regain the re nowned "Jones" touch if It is at all possible. On any occasion when his putter Is functioning Jones is still the most dangerous shotmaker . In the game. Unless he can come mighty close his former peak, he can hardly hope fcr completo revenge. This year's Masters tourney promises to rival the national open In strength and brilliance. A group of Europe's outstanding club swingers will be on hand along with the elite of our native golfers A cast of 75 will be Invited to bat tle it out for the 15 prizes worth $5000. Henry Cotton Heads Invaders. Heading the foreign Invaders will be Henry Cotton, holder of the Brit ish open championship. Cotton had hoped to make the trip to these shores as a member of the British Ryder cup team. His affiliation and residence at a Brussels, Belgium, club, however, made him ineligible so his quest for glory and gold will be of an entirely personal nature. Additional bits of International flavor will be added in Augustc Boyer. Swiss open champion, and Alf Padgham, reputed to be one of England's finest professionals and winner of the German open. Aubrey Boomer, of St. Cloud, will also be there. Horton Smith can look for a dif ficult time In trying to repeat the triumph he registered in the inau gural 72-hole test. Paul Runyan snd Olln Dutra, hold ers of the professional and open championships, respectively, will be among the stars honored with invi tations. Lawson Little will be In there doing his best for the amateur cause. Craig Wood, who finished a stroke behind the victorious Smith last year. HALF A GENT IN PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 24.

Mr. Haluk pointed out that at one time nearly all of the land In Russia was granted by the Czar to 50 or 60 feydal landlords, and this situation eventually so Irritated the common people that discontent got a foothold on the country, leading to serious results. He also condemned the tolerance of bolshevistic prac tices in this country. Discussion was held on the Elks plan to prevent the overthrow of this country's government by violence, and on the criminal syndicalism law In Oregon.
