CONSTRUCTION OF
AUTO SALES ROOM
Construction of a $20,000 modern
garage and sales room by Walter W.
Abbey, inc., at the corner of East
JJtnth and Bartlett streets was an
nounced today by Walter W. Abbey,
president. Actual work started this
morning. The building will be ready
for occupancy in 90 to 120 days.
Abbey said.
A one-story concrete structure, the
garage will be one of the most mod
ern In Oregon. It will be 100 by 100
feet square, and will house a beau
tiful showroom, a completely equip
ped workshop, and offices, part de
partment and bookkeeping space. The
worshop will take up half the space,
with the showroom being 35 by 100
feet In size and the office space 15
by 100 feet In area.
A feature of the shop will be the
installation of an electrically oper
ated automobile hoist, the latest In
that type of equipment. A modern
washrack, greasing paraphernalia and
tools will be located in the shop.
The new garage will be equipped
with gasoline pumps, both Inside and
outside, modern rest-rooms In the In
terior, and beautifully appointed fix
tures. There will be a six-foot fire
place In the showroom.
The building will be heated by gas,
and lighted by a semi -Indirect sys
tem. Entrances to the showroom will
be on both Bartlett and Ninth streets,
and to the shop, on Bartlett. The
shop entrance will be 35 feet wide.
The lot on which the garage will
be built was purchased by Abbey In
February, 1936. The old Allen home,
one of Medford's landmarks, was re
cently demolished to make waj for
the new structure.
Commenting on the expansion pro
gram. Abbey said. "Business has been
so good that we were forced to move
to a larger space. We are here to stay,
and wanting a permanent home, de
cided to build. The garage is de
signed to be practical, but win be
beautiful, also."
Abbey stated that the present loca
tion of the garnge at 123 South Riv
erside avenue would be retained un
til January l at least, but that most
equipment would be moved to the
new quarters as soon as they were
completed.
The garage was designed by Wl!
Ham Lang, local architect. Con
tractor is Elmer Chllders.

SEALS WIN AGAIN;
SEATTLE BEATEN
(By the Associated Press)
Johnny Bassler, the Seattle In
dians' new manager whose hobby is
raising flowers, today sought to cul
tivate a winning streak for his sixth
place Pacific Coast league baseball
team.
The Indians opened In Seattle last
night against the Son Diego Padres
with Johnny, who replaced Spencer
Abbott, In charge for the first time.
The home folks gave him a bg hand
and then his team, apparently from
force or habit, went out to lose, 7
to 1. The Indians were limited to sev
en scattered hits by Howard Crag-head.
There was no eighth place team In ;
the league today because San Fran
cisco rallied In the ninth inning last
night to push across three runs on
hits and Oakland errors to win 5 to
4. The loss tied the Oaks with the
cellar place San Francisco Missions
who were kept Idle in Portland by
rain.
Although they outhit Los Angeles
14 to 12, Including three homers and
a triple, the Sacramento Solons lost.
9 to 6 and found themselves three
full games behind the league leading
Seals.

BALEM. May 26 AP) Dissatis
fied with conditions attached to the
M50.000 federal grant allocated to the
capitol building program the recon
struction commission announced
Ralph Moody, deputy attorney gen
eral, would leave for the national
capital this week to negotiate for
better terms.
The commission stated that under
the proposed terms using labor from
relief rolls, plus a 15 per cent ad
ministration cost, acceptance of the
grant would not be practical, and
doubted receiving favorable bids for
construction.
Governor Martin, at the sugges
tion of the commission, petitioned
President Roosevelt for the 4S per
cent grant under the old PWA terms
which would provide additional
funds under favorable conditions,
simitar to that now used on the new
capttol building. He urged the fed
eral government to re-allow that
amount as off red when the legisla
ture appropriated funds for the cap
ital. At that time the grant was
earmarked on the basis of a $3,500,
000 building, but the legislature re
duced the cost by a million dollars.

his opponent.

boy Dude Chick, Junior heavyweight
champion of the world, who will be
here for certain Decoration Day even

castro could be forced or coaxed to
meet Smoiinskl. then probably Alvln

Chick back to the local armory.
LUlard also announced that the
Black Dragon would probably appear
