The committee was Inclined to fa vor Including a sum of money In the annual budget so that repaying could be carried on over a period of years. Should such a course be adopted, rpavlng would be deferred until 1837 at the earliest as the budget becomes operative at the beginning of each calendar year. Order Filing of Report. The report, accepted and ordered filed, follow: "The City of Medford has at the present time approximately 31 miles of paved streets. The paving on many of these streets was laid 26 years ago and at a time when the traffic burden was much lighter than at present. During the past years, and particularly within the! past five or six years, little money i has been expended In repairing and resurfacing paved streets. This con dition la the result of economy on j the part of various city admlnl&tra- i tlons, and part.' ularly during the period of depression. Aa a result of the foregoing. many of Med ford's atreeta ate sadly In need of repair or repaying, and unless provision Is made immediately within a few years a number of these streets will be beyond repair. Your committee haa given con sideration and thought to the ques tion as to whether the repair of atreeta should be at the expense of the city or should be wholly, or In part, assessed to the property owners, An expression of opinion haa been obtained from many citizens and It Is our opinion, and we believe It Is the opinion of the majority of the property owners within the city of Medford, that the property owner having paid the original coat of 1m provement by paving, it Is now the obligation of the city to maintain the some. Two Methods Lifted. "There are apparently two meth ods by which the city can provide funds for the maintenance, repair and re paving of our atreeta: "First: By bond Issue for such purpose, the amount of which has henn estimated at $85,000. "Second : Provision can be made In the annual budget for street re pair purposes and continued each year for such time aa may be required. "Your committee does not at this time look with favor on submit ting to the citizens a bond issue in such amount u would be re quired, and does not believe the same. If submitted, would be met with approval. 10,000 Yearly SuRRestrd. We are Inclined at this time to approve a plan based on an an nua! budget appropriation and a program of street repair and repay ing to be carried on over a period of years, for such time as may be required. "We would sugRejtt an amount In Try This Foot Remedy Costs Little and Makes Feet Feci Fine. Foot sufferers snthor round: Ret right up clone and listen. Here's good news for you.

"The actual work of repair and repaying can be done either by contract or may be done by the city of Medford. In which latter event an expenditure of possibly 1 5 000 won Id be req ul red for the acquisition of a municipally owned paving plant and rock crusher. Called Major Problem. "We are advised that It the city owned the proper equipment, to wit: paving plant and rock crusher, that an annual budget allowance of $ 10,000 would provide annually for the repair or repaying of a sub stantial amount of street surface. "We feel that this matter should be given some publicity end the opinions of citizens obtained. If It Is deemed advisable for the city to do the work for repairing and repaying, aa above outlined, we are of the opinion that the citizens would willingly authorize the sale of bonds or the lesuance of warrants for the cost of the equipment. We also feel that the condition of our street is a major problem and one that should receive imme diate attention, and that the same should be brought to the attenlon of the public bo that we may have the benefit of such expressions of opinions aa Individual citizens may care to give the council as to the solution of this problem." 4 FATHER SEARCHES IN ROGUE VALLEY W. E. L, Harbour was In Medford today to continue his far-flung search for his son, W. Lloyd Harbour, who was last seen by friends on April I, 1033. when he left Durango. Colo. Mr. Harbour has searched for his son for three years In a score of states. Police In dozens of cities and states have been aiding In the hunt, newspapers have published stories of the missing son and the radio haa broadcast descriptions and pleas. Today Mr. Harbour seems baffled. Clues have proved elusive and search seems no nearer an end than It did three long years ago. The father Is now broken In health. His son la his last living relative and he has dedicated his life to finding hta boy. "I will continue to the end," he told the Mall Tribune. Oregon state police traced the mining man to a transient camp In Klamath fill Is last autumn. When they got there, however, the camp had been disbanded and they were told Harbour had been transferred to Camp Savage, seven miles this side of Grants Pass, No record of his having been at the camp, however, could be found. Mr. Harbour believes hla son la somewhere In the Rogue valley. He la an apiarist and expert mechanic, the father said, and he thinks he might be employed tn this vicinity. The son Is now 30 years old. He la five feet nine Inches tall and weighs 23fi pounds. He has thick brown hslr, brown eyes and extremely even teeth. His most positive distinguish ing marks are a scar on the palm of his right hand ana a tattoo of a sinking ship on his forearm. Anyone knowing anything about the son may reach the father by addressing him at Box 313, OrsejAfe Colo., In care of Ma J. C. C. Town-send. Mr. Harbour expressed his gralttude for the asalstance of the Oregon state police. "They are the most efficient and most courteous organization In the United States," he aald. He also thanked the Medford city police who are assisting In the search. COUNCIL PASSES E AT 2ND READING Be correctly corseted In an Artist Model by Ethelwyn B. Hoffmann. A health ordinance designed to eliminate sewage nulsancea waa ap proved in second reading by the city council laat night. The required third and final reading was deferred to a future meeting. The ordinance gives the city great er authority In enforcing the connec tion of residences with sewer lines. It provide penalties of tlOO fine or 60 daya In Jail, or both, for violations. On petition of Q. M. Huber the council approved a zoning change whereby the south half of lot 11 and 13, Cloverdale Addition, were reclas sified from a residence district class 1-B to a business district class 3 for the purpose of maintaining thereon a bungalow store. It provided for a' conditional retail store, which means that the store must be set back at least 30 feet from the sidewalk. The reclassified lots are at the northwest corner of Peach and 13th streets. The petition was considered by the city planning commission at a meeting Monday night and passed on to the council without recommenda tion. More than the required own ers of abutting property had ap proved the change. George Currier, owner of a grocery atore In the neighborhood, objected to the change but Mayor George W. Porter pointed out that If the re quired number of adjacent property owners favored the reclasslflcaclon the council had no other recourse but to vote approval. , Larry Sohade told the council that In communications regarding Im provements at Preacott Memorial park, Washington. D. C, officials were continually puzzled by the word ' memorial and they suggested a change. The council thereon ap proved changing the name to "Pres- cott Park." An ordinance was adopted clarify ing: provisions of two prior ordi nances regulating fixing awnings and marquees. The health ordinance, which will become law If approved at the next reading, follows: Section 1. All drainage waters, waste waters and sewage from any building or structure occupied or used aa a place of human habitation or residence, and the effluent from any septic tank or private sewage system connected with any such building deposited either upon or within the earth within the city of Medford, la hereby defined and de clared to be a public nuisance. "Section 2.

"Section 3.
