MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 9. 1936.
I
HERE FORESEEN
IN LOT DEMAND
Aala of two lot at the southeast
corner of East MaJn street and Kwne
Way drive was announced yesterday
by Brown & white, realtors.
Bruce Bauer, manager of the retail
department of the Timber Product
company, was the purchaser and O.
B. Morrow of 15 Keene Way drive
was the seller.
Almost Immediately Mr. Bauer re
sold one of the lots to H. C. Oold
fmlth, contractor, retaining the cor
ner lot. Mr. Goldsmith plans to
build a modern 6 -room bungalow on
the property for his home, Mr. Bauer
said.
The two lots have a combined
frontage of 141 feet along Blast Main
street and 128 feet along Keene Way
drive.
"I bought the lot as an Invest
ment," Mr. Bauer said. "I am quite
optimistic about the future of Med
ford .real estate."
Brown it White said that the
' mand for vacant lota recently liai
been brisk. The realty firm was of
the opinion that considerable home
building will be done this spring.
De&lrable rental properties remain ex
ceedingly scarce, It was said.
Trend observers are of the belief
that the model home to be erected
here will serve as a stimulus for the
construction of houses. That
plains, they say, the recent demand
for lot.
The committee In charge was pro
ceeding with Its plans yesterday for
the building of the model home de
signed to demonstrate what can be
accomplished under the federal hous
ing act.
The committee has bought a lot
from the city at the northeast corner
of West Main and Peach streets as a
site for the model home and Frank
Clark, architect, Is now preparing
plans and Bpeclf lcatlons. The lot has
a frontage of 61 feet on Main and
MO feet on Peach.
It was reported in dependable
quarters yesterday that several per
sona are contemplating the building
of homes as an Investment. These
houses. It was stated, would be ready
for sale about the time the model
home Is ready for occupancy so that
they would benefit from the market
expected to be created by the model '
home. In other words, It was ex-1
plained, the model home would have
an advertising value that could be
capitalized by an investor who had I
modern houses ready for sale about
the time the federal housing cam
paign reaches lta peak.

of both the Spanish -American and
World wars and draw disability com
pensation as a disabled veteran, due
to tuberculosa contracted In the
World war. My disability, coupled
with the depression, left me in
straightened circumstances and when
my sister became ill in Olympla
determined to visit her, traveling
cheaply as possible.
"On leaving a freight train
Horn brook and going into the town
in search of something to eat,
was rounded up along with seven
others and taken to the old Horn
brook hotel by men wearing Los
Angelea police uniforms and badges.
The officers took our fingerprints,
wrote detailed descriptions of our
clothing and baggage and asked us
many questions. As each was ques
tioned the policemen made frequent
motions as If to atrlke us with
blackjacks and the whole procedure
was carried on In an exceedingly
rough manner.
At 0 p.m. the eight prisoners
were given four loaves of bread and
a pall of water that waa our sup
per. There waa no running water or
toilet facilities in the old hotel, the
pall of water being brought In
from some place else. We were forced
to spend the night on the floor of
what was formerly the hotel dining
room.
The nxt day eight of us were
taken to the railroad and the offi
cers attempted to force ub aboard a
freight train going north. However,
the train whs moving too fast and
we were unable to make; It. X re
ceived knee injuries In the attempt.
Later we were herded aboard another
train and while two officers remain
ed on guard, two others got Into
an automobile and drove to HUt to
see that we were all still aboard
when the train reached that point.
"I have lived In California for
mnny yeara, and paid taxea for
years In Riverside county. I ope
rated the Sunklat laundry In Bur-
bank up to 1928 and owned three
pieces of property there. Later In
Burbank X owned and operated the
Superspeed Hand Soap company. I
have engaged In building and con
tracting business In several Cali
fornia towns. My mother haa lived
at the same addrcsa In Hollywood :
for 30 years. I have never been ar
rested or In trouble before In "Cali
fornia and am anxious to return
to my home, but now I don't know
what to do or where to go. What
little the police would let me aay
at Hornbrook seemed to have no
effect upon them. Several of the
others arrested were also from Cali
fornia and were returning alter
working In the northwest, but they
were all refused entrance."
Taylor showed papers to prove his
army service and other claims.
W. T. Pclster, a younger man.
had the same experience as Taylor,
Pelster, whose business card gave
his occupation as pn Inter and- paper-
hanger, declared he waa en rout
to visit a sinter and a nephew in
San Diego. Hla nephew, he said, la
chief gardener at the San Diego
boo. He had hoped to find work at
the Snn Diego fair, and falling that,
to continue on to Dallas. Teiaa.
where the Texas Centennial Is In
course of construction.
Captain Lee M. Bown and Sergeant
W. H. El .unburn of the state police
went to the line Friday to Investi
gate operation or the California
transient barrier and also ques
tioned a number of men turned back
by the Lob Angelea police. Their re
port was aent Into the atate police
headquarters at Salem.
What action will be taken by
state police or local authorities in
view of the possibility of a serious
backwash of Indigents on the south
ern Oregon border, has not yet been
determined, It waa aald Saturdsy.

long aa tney are on hand when need
ed lor the purpose for which they
were oDiigated.
"For Instance: In 1034 the state of
Oregon waa on a warrant basis, and
psid Interest on approximately a mil
lion dollars of warranted Indebted
ness when there waa never lees than
four and a quarter and sometimes
seven million dollars In the state
treasury. The state received a mail
mum of only 2 per cent on that
money.
we aepositea four and a quarter
to seven minion In cash In banks at
3 per cent, snd we borrowed one mil
lion dollars of our own money at 0
per centl
"Tliat seems to me to be the height
oi nonsense," tne treasurer said.
Holman stated that he had been
devoting his time, as treasurer, to
rinding a way to use ths tax money
already on hand, rather than finding
new taxea to levy, in attacking the
annual Interest bill of approximately
minion dollars a year (the com
bined public debt of the state and
ail its subdivisions county, cltv and
others), Holman pointed out that
mat dent waa made when money waa
dear, with Interest rates high. He
conceived, he aald. the Idea of refund
ing the debt on today's market, tak
ing advantage of cheap money.
I directed such a law be drawn.
and now the people of the state of
Oregon are aavlng 1300,000 a year on
refunded debts alone."
Treasurer Holman further elabo
rated on the means he was taking of
reducing the tax burden, first ex
plaining the matter of the trreducuhl.
school fund, to provide public schools
iur ine cnnoren of the state. The
money for this fund comes from di
rect school taxes and escheated es
tates tne estates of neonle who hv.
died without leaving heirs, the state
escheating the money, which accrues
to the school fund.
'The state hsd never nnllriwi t.hi.
Isw. and It bad run wild." Hnim.n
ssld, adding: "I Inaugurated the ap
pointment of an auditor to Investi
gate these estates, less than four
months ago. That auditor and his
assistant have already turned In ap
proximately 5,000 In cash, anri h.v.
discovered approximately 63.000 more
that will be collected for the Irre
ducable school fund.
Another place where th hnni
fund haa been losing monev ,.

navigaoie streams of the state
to public works. The sand snd gravel

my motion to discontinue .,,,.,...
of psyment on sand and gravel when
uaua .ur puono works. Bv th.t HI..
continuance, we ceased rohhin. th,
school fund and the children for the
benefit of public works. Uit the roads
pay their own way, and at the same
Denein tne schools." Holman
said.
"By adoption of this law we have
secured 9.360 already. In the psst
four months, and I estimate thst 3o -000
a year will accrue to the school's
from funds that have heretofore es
caped us entirely," the treasurer
pointed out.
Holman also Indicated another
point where the two auditors have
discovered funds belonging to the
state that have for a long time been
lying Idle In the vaults of Justice and
county courts. These funds were se
cured through traffic flnea from those
convicted of violating traffic rules on
public highways. The auditors hsve
already, In four months, turned In
S.800 In cssh from tins source and
discovered 7,800 In dormant fines.
Holmsn said. He advocated that this
money be turned over to the road
fund.
"Those two auditors are costlug
the state sbout ssoo a month, and
to date they have turned In about
38 to each one they are paid In
salaries." he ssld. I
