By CITY INFANTRY ARRIVES ON STREET REPORT A war-time friendship Inactive for the past 19 years was renewed yefter day as the 30th infantry. Urlted States army, moved In upon Meaford on its one-ntpht stop from San Fran cisco's Presidio to Fort Lewis. Wash. Not sine; the early days of 1918 had Sat. William H. Ellonburg of the Oregon state police seen or even heard of his war-buddy, Major John F. Goodman. Both had been assigned to the same training school In France but when they were transferred to combat units that moved to the front the two officers lost track ol each ether and for almost two decades had only memories of days spent together .n preparation for war-action. Yesterday, Major Goodman, com ma nd 1 ng th e 3 nd ba t tal ton of the 30th infantry, came to Medford and Sgt. Ellenberg was waiting for him, hiving recognized his name in the list of officers printed in the Mall Tribune previous to the convoy's arri val. The greetings they exchanged and the experiences they had to tell after so many years can only be Imagined. Both were assigned to the first course school at Grondrecrout, France in February, 1918. and upon comple tion of the school were assigned as true tors of the 1st Infantry train ing regiment at Port Levoy, a short distance south of Paris. Each com manded a company until July, 1918, when they were transferred to differ ent combat units moving to the front That was the last they saw of each other. Major Goodman was taken prisoner by the Germans shortly after, and tnat was the last word he had of his friend until yesterday, Sgt. Ellenburg said. (Contmutd from paje One.)

Police Chief Clatus McCredle Is the epitome of courage. When It cornea to facing a woman who Insists upon illegal parking, however, that Is something else. At the council meeting last night Mayor George W. Porter told the chief that over-time and double parking would have to cease. The chief, how ever, wanted to know what about women. "It's a fright." he declared. "If we don't take off our hats and bow to our waists, the women are insulted and affronted and there's the very mischief to pay." He indicated that the women's manners were not all that should be expected of ladles. Mr. McCredle was told to ascertain what affect arresting the women would have upon their manners. "This over-time and double park ing has to stop,' Mayor Porter said. "I'm getting too many complaints about It. We've got to enforce the law but first give the public warn ing." The council backed up the mayor's sentiments and Chief McCredle was instructed to employ another patrol man If necessary to curb the alleged parking evil. An auto accident Involving a horse was reported to city police yesterday, with the horse now dead. The report stated that John Bohn- ert of Central Point was driving his car on the old stage road about a mile and a half south of Gold Hill Monday evening. The horse Jumped out of the brush alongside the road directly In the path of the car. Bohnert reported, and was hit square ly by the machine. He told city po lice he believed the animal belonged to a Mr. Foley. The car escaped ser ious damage. Sara Van Meter of 108 South Ivy street and Larry Grantham of Beatty street were operators of cars Involved In a minor accident at Riverside ave nue and Ninth street last night, ac cording to city police report. A city police report stated that Emll Bendlckson of 107 Washington street and Edwin Cross of Keno drove 'cars that hit each other with minor damage at Keno Monday evening. vote whenever in future additional funds are required for street repair. Action postponed Finally W. W. Allen moved that ac tion on the committee's report be deferred until the next council meet ing two weeks hence and his motion was carried. The committee's report follows: "Unless some action la taJcen In the very near future It will be Impossible to carry through legal proceedings, elections, etc., that nuy ue necessary to provide funds early enough to per mit of any paving work being done during the present summer. "Your committee haa been desirous of formulating a plan whereby annual levy for repair and recon struction of streets can be made, thus saving the creation of any ad ditional bonded debt. A levy of two mills for such purpose will raise ap proximately 15.000 per year. ,0,000 Required Now "We have made an Investigation of the condition of Medford' paved streets and it la our Judgment that the expenditure of 16,000 per year by the city will not be sufficient to stop the very rapid deterioration of some of our streets, in other words, to repair our streets economically and to get ahead of the rapid deteriora tlon of some of the streets. It will be necessary that an expenditure be1 made at this time of not less than $50,000. If this Is not done In the near future, the cost of street repair construction will be greatly In ex cess of that now contemplated. "In order to bring this matter to a head we suggest that a charter amendment be .submitted to the peo pie of the City of Medford for their consideration, authorizing the cowv ell to Issue bonds to the amount of $50,000, such bonds to be retired serially within five years of the date of Issue and the council to be au thorized to reissue bonds for future street repairs as bonds previously la siled are retired. "The above plan would provide rund of $50,000 to start with and thereafter ten or twelve thousand dollars a year for the purpose of re pair of streets. We estimate that the total cost of street repairs will be in excess of $100,000. Amendment Suggested "We suggest an amendment to the charter In substantially the follow ing form, to-wit: " '72-L. For the. purpose of pro viding funds for the maintenance, repair and construction of streets, and purposes Incidental thereto, the council la hereby authorized to borrow money on the faith and credit of the City of Medford and for such purposes, In addition to the bonds and warrants now au thorized by charter and subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, to from time to time Issue bonds of said City of Medford for the purpose of obtaining necea&ary funds for such purposes; which bonds hereby authorized shall be in convenient denominations, shall bear Interest payable semi-annually '. at a rate not to exceed 5 per cent per annum and shall be payable within no-, to exceed five years from date of Issue, as may be de termined by the council; provided, however, there shall not at any time be outstanding bonds as au thorized' by this section, in excess of $50,000. "We further suggest that an election be called for the purpose of submit ting the foregoing amendment, or such other plan as may be proposed by the council, or otherwise, and that the matter be referred to the city ttorney with Instructions to prepare such charter amendment and elec tion proceedings. "If any street repair work is to be done this year it Is most necessary that this matter be given attention at this time." t Lots Sold Upon the recommendation of George T- Frey for the land appraisal committee, the council approved the sale of a lot on Bartlett street op posite the armory to Elmer Chlldera, he to have the privilege of moving thereon a dwelling now standing at 5th and Apple streets. Council also sanctioned sale of a lot at the north east corner of Main and Orange streets to Robert S. Bailey, A request by Chief Roy Elliott for authority to paint the fire hall was referred to the public safety commit tee with power to act. Damages Sought The following letter from Attorney Allison Moulton was read to the coun cil and referred to City Attorney Frank P. Fnrrell: "Upon behalf of Mrs F. W Mc Farland, I desire to make a claim for damages against the City of Medford arising from injuries sustained by Mra. McFarland when she fell on the stairway In the city hall on the 7tb day of July, 1935. Mrs. McFarland was very badly Injured, apparently permanently, and I would be glad to take this matter up with our rep resentatives and see If an amicable adjustment of the matter can be made." An ordinance was adopted reclass ifying from zone 6 to a eonstltlonal business zone, class 3, a small piece of land on North Riverside avenue, the planning commission having pre viously approved the change.
