superintendent, although It was
pointed out that unlaw something
la done aoon a number of street
will be beyond repair within a few
years.
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.

each year for such purpose.
"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."

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. Any person or persons
who shall use or occupy any building
or structure as a place cf human
habitation or residence, the drainage
waters, waste waters or sewags from
which, or the effluent from any sep
tic, tank connected therewith, is de
posited or permitted to be deposited
upon or within the earth within the
city of Medford, shall be guilty of a
violation of this ordinance.
"Section 3. Any person Who shall
be convicted In the city court of a
violation of this ordinance shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding
$100 or by being confined In the city
Jail not exceeding 00 days, or by both
such fine and imprisonment."
