Where To Vote The polls tomorrow will be open from 1 to I p. m. Polling places are: first ward. 413 Et Mln street!" second ward, court house: third ward. Flchtner'a gar age. Fir and Sixth streets; and fourth ward, city hall, Plfth street ana Central avenue. Medtord citizens will go to the I pollt tomorrow to decide tt a specie! election whether the city paveo streets are to be repaired and le constiucted. They will vote on a 50.000 bond Issue and a special lax levy .ii not more than two mllli a year for five yeart to raise funds for the proposed repair and reconstrur. tlon program. The ballot contains two proposi tions on which Jht citizens will vote separately. One ballot title pertains to the bond lesue and the other to the special tax levy. While cltlzent may vote for one proposition end against the other, the two are linked in the general repair and reconstruction program. The bond issue Is Intended to raise funds Immediately for the re pair of paved streets thlt season to that the program. If approved, might be suited before the streets are further Impaired by the dltlntegrat Ing weather of another winter. It haa been pointed out that repair of the paved ttreett will be much more dlf flcult and coetly If another winter pnssco ,iniou s on them. The special tax levy It designed to raise revenue to continue the re pair and reconstruction program over a period of years. Tho two proportions are combined to place the reptlr program on prac tically a pay-aa-you-go basis, tt wst explained by Frtnk P. Parrell, city attorney Th council made It evident when It adopted the plan to be voted on tomorrow that It did not want to Increase the city's bonded Indebted ness. It was Indicated that the pro posed $50,000 bond issue would De of short-term maturity and would be retired over a period of a few yeara Then continuance of the re pair program under the apeclal csx levy would be strictly on a pay-ss-you-g basis. It Is estimated that the special levy rvf two mills on the dollar would raise ebout $15,000 or $16,000 a year to carry on the proposed program over a five-year period. Meantime the ordinary reduction In the city's gen eral oonded Indebtedness would, for all practical purposes, keep the en tire repair and reconstruction pro ject on a psy-as-you-go basis. The two ballot proposltlonji therefore, are Integra) parts of one program. Mr. Parrell emphasized. It : the council's hope thtt oe fore the 'ive-yetr period It up. tne special tax levy may be eliminated througb financial asslatsnce from other tourcet. It It hoped, for ex ample, that the state highway com mission may allocate part of the gasoline tax revenue ,to cities street repairs. for OF TAX STATEMENT WASHINGTON.
