Recently, when It again became possible to procure PWA grants for such projects, the olty officials, meet ing with Jackson County Chamber of Commerce directors, decided It would be an act of economy to pro ceed immediately with the entire re construction program. It was point ed out that not only would the amount of the expected PWA grant be saved to the city, but other econ omies could be effected by recon structing the paved streets before they deteriorated further and thus Increased the ultimate cost of re construction. 1 Mayor States Plan Before the council voted yesterday on the .special election ordinance. Mayor C. C. Furnas stated: '1 should like to say that It Is my understanding that If thts bond Is sue of $73,500 u approved by the voters and the government grant. amounting to approximately V58.500 Is received, the approximate $64,000 already voted through the special tax levy win be cancelled. If, how ever, the government grant be not approved and not received, we shall continue with the present program. "Tills bond issue Is asking the public to approve only an addi tional sum of approximately $20,000 over and above what haa been already authorized. (This Includes interest). "This bond Issue of $73,500 should be retired In the same manner the $64,000 Is being raised, through the levy which amounts to approximately two mills annually for five years. "If and when we are able to pro cure a portion, of the state gasoline tax, this money should be used to help retire these bonds and thus reduce the two mill lew." Council Concurs The council concurred In the may or's understanding and, on motion of Larry Schade, his statement was incorporated In the official minutes. Thus the proposed bond Issue was made contingent upon approval and receipt of the PWA grant. If the project la not approved for a PWA grant, there will be no bond isue. Instead the present program of car rying out street reconstruction over the next four years through the special two-mill tax levy will be continued. If, however, the PWA grant la ap proved and the voters authorize the bond issue, both sums will be util ized to complete the street recon struction at once and the present four-year piece-meal program will be cancelled.

And here are the aln for joot for the full liquidation of the pro posed bond Issue In five years. The net effect of the whole financing plan la to continue for one year the present special two-mill levy, which at present haa four years to con tinue. To Seek Tax Share In speaking of the state gasoline tax the mayor was referring to the proposal of the League of Ore gon Cities that part of the gasoline revenues be refunded to the cities which, It Is asserted by the league, bear the brunt of the tax. The league la preparing again to ask the legislature to provide for the return of a small percentage of tlie gaso line tax to the cities for street re pair work. If such an allotment Is made to the cities, the money will. In the case of Medford, be applied to liquidating the proposed bond Issue and thus reduce the special tax levy, according to -the council's commit ment. After adoption of the ordinance on M. N; Hogan's motion, the meet ing was adjourned to 6 p.m. Mon Thompson Creek THOMPSON CREEK, Aug. 10. (Spl.) Frank Decker and family axe enjoying a visit with relatives from California.
