Mayor Porter asked Police Chief
Clatous McCredie If he had anything
to report on the bicycle traffic prob
lem and the chief replied that the
more the situation la talked about
"the hotter it gets." He stated that
some regulatory measures would prob
ably have to be tried soon and said
he would make a study of the con
trol being practiced In Grants Pas.
The mayor said the council has
had the bicycle problem in mind for
some time and was awaiting a report
from the League of Oregon Cities
which la making a survey of regu
lation in various cities.
Jn a formal report. City Superin
tendent Fred W. Scheffel asked the
council to adopt a policy to be fol
lowed for the remainder of the yenr
regarding the airport and Prescott
park improvement projects. He said
the total expended by WPA on the
present airport project la 140.743.67.
with a balance to be expended of
76.735.33.
The question of policy was referred
by Mayor Porter to the airport and
finance committees for report at the
next meeting.
A letter written by City Attorney
Frank P. Parrel! and read by C. C.
Furnas informed the council that a
recent amendment to the Bancroft
act provided that Bancroft bonds
may not be Issued where the amount
of improvement bonds authorized by
the Bancroft act. together with Im
provement bonds authorized by the
charted, exceeds 5 per cent of the
assessed valuation of the city.
Ten Year plan out
"In view of the above," Mr. Farrell
wrote, "and until such time as Im
provement bonds are reduced by ap
proximately (50.000, assessments
made upon property for Improve
ments will be required to be paid as
a single assessment. In other words,
the ten-year payment plan will not
be available to property owners."
Under present circumstances. Mr.
Farrell told the council, Bancroft
bonds may not be Issued for about
two years, the tlmo required, at the
present rate, to reduce the improve
ment bonds by about $60,000. Under
the Bancroft plan, assessments may
be paid in Installments over a period
of ten years.
In commenting on this. Mr. Furnas
said the city's finances were in splen
did condition.
The Bancroft amendment puts an
end to t hree small improvements
which the council had approved upon
petition of property owners. They are
improvements of Mae street from
Jackson to Sailing street, a sewer line
extension on Elm street to the south
city limit and a 180-foot sewer ex
tension on Columbus avenue south ol
Holly street. None of these projected
improvement had been started. If
they are to be made now, the assess
ments must be paid In a lump sum.

' Medford ha the best fire depart
ment of any city in Oregon except
ing Portland." K&id Mr. Barry whose
work at an insurance ad jus tor brings
Mm In close touch with fire depart
ments. "Portland ha It on us only
Lecauae It la a much larger city."
! No rail-sitter tn the preaa gallery
' here la able to recall a governmental
issue handled as cleanly, quietly and
efficiently.
(ContiDueo from Patie One
for the reception of the committee
action.
It put Mr. Roosevelt definitely In
the position of gaining prt of hia
point tn n orderly and normal way
without extremist revision of the
court aa a branch of government.
Similarly the court's reversal on
the state minimum wage law foiled
the president's contention that a "no
man's land" of Jurisdiction existed,
and forced him to fall back on the
less forceful contention that, as he
had won by a single vote, he still
should try to reorganize the court.
Between these events there have
been many, leas significant but sim
ilar moves, auca as repeated public
proof that the court la up with Its
business and Is handling cert lorn rls
efflclencly.
You may be sure these things did
not Just happen.
Note Justice V-in Devanter has
contemplated retirement for a long
time and his frlenda any he selected
. m., Tuesday because he had fin
ished his court business for the term.
This Is true, but so are the conclus
ions statfd above.
It la popular In choice capital
drawing rooms to credit the opposi
tion group leadership to Chief Jus
tice Hughes, who neorly became pres
ident himself one day. Thia conclus
ion Is merely the arithmetical result
of putting hla well known nbillty
In statesmanship together with his
management of the court.
It Is quite possible, however, that
another member of tho court and at
least two members of congress had
equally aa much or more to do with
the defense of the court. One con
gressman certainly had more to do
with the Van Devanter resignation.
Their Identities will become known
In time.
Moat of the congressional authori
ties were completely taken by sur
prise. None was able to offer even
a good Rues as to a successor, al
though most of them seemed to re
nl)7 the six-Justice packing bill was
na good as de-Jd. They even made
such bad guewws as naming Donald
Rlchberg, the NRA nemesis of Gen
eral Johnson. (Rlchberg undoubtedly
could not be confirmed by the sen
ate). Their best gue was Solicitor
General Stanley Reed.
Best line on It downtown was that
the president would pick a circuit
court Judge who Is nationally un
known. Names of senators and congressmen
were suggested, but largely in a com
plimentary way. Senator Wagner, who
la considered a good legal authority
since his labor bill was upheld, ex
pressed the opinion privately that
no legislator who voted for the re
cent Judicial retirement bill would
be eligible. Others do not agree, and
It might take a decision of the
supreme court to decide, but wisest
lawyers Btrlng along with the Wagner
viewpoint.
Note High on Mr. Roosevelt's list
of circuit Judges are Judg? Joseph
Hutcheson of Houston, Texas: Judge
Sam Bratton of New Mexico, and
Judge Den man of San Francisco.
BY
The personal motive behind the
Van Devnnter retirement was that
he always wanted to be a farmer
Instead of a lawyer. He began pre
paring for retirement when he
bought a Maryland farm two or three
years ago and atarted working It. In
his youth, his Indiana father riecrm
ed to permit him to take up farm
ing and put him Into law.
Just two days before his announce
ment, he took Justice Roberts out to
the farm and showed Roberta what
an efficient farmer a supreme court
Justice could be.

"There is a very good chance the
field will be lighted," Hedrlck Bald
today.
However, he pointed out. tt all de
pends on the general Interest In the
project and the number of kitten
ball teams that can be lined up with
the $15 entrance fee. To date there
are about 10 teams that have sig
nified their willingness to compete.
Hedrtck stated that the Installation
would have to be done by private
funds, as the school board had no
money for the project. The Initial
cost of the project would be paid
back by money raised from the U
entrance fees and admissions to the
games.
