levy haa four moro years to run,
to provide In the aggregate about
$04,000 for the entire period.
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.
The mayor's statement provides

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
