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."

Wall St. Report
AT LION S LUNCH
Bobby Jones, still the emperor of
golfdom to many, wisely enough does
not feel that "a king can do no
wrong." 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.

Portland Produce
Hotel Medford at a noon luncheon
yesterday, at which William Haluk
who was born and raised tn Russia,
talked informally to the Lions about
the rise of Bolshevism and the fall
of the Czars In that country.
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. A resolution was passed
to send a telegram to the state legis
lature now In session, asking that
the syndicalism law be retained on
the statute books, and that -more
force and effect be given it.
