Zoning And Planning Dis
cussed By City Officials
With Wisconsin Official.
Charles B. Bennett, city plan
ner of Milwaukie, Wis., and
member of the Wisconsin state
planning board, and William
Hall of Eugene, acting executive
secretary of the League of Ore
gon Cities, met with members
of the Medford city administra
tion in the city hall last night
to discuss zoning and planning.
Mr. Bennett, whose trip
through Oregon is sponsored by
the League of Oregon Cities,
talked on all phases of city
planning and zoning, paying
particular attention to pave
ment widths and tree planting.
He contended that small cities
of the size of Medford needed
a planning and zoning program
just as much as larger cities, and
praised the local planning com'
mission for their excellent work
Authority Needed
"What Oregon needs more
than anything else," Mr. Ben
nett stated, "is state legislation
giving the counties authority to
zona areas outside cities. As it
Is now a factory, say, could be
built close to the city limits In
a high class residential district,
which has been done In other
states without county zoning.
Mr. Bennett, taken on a tour
of the city and surrounding
areas yesterday by Fred Schcf
fel, city superintendent, was es
pecially impressed with the
Prcscott Park project and the
Bear Creek park near the fair
grounds. He said that in years to
come Medford citizens would
more fully realize the value of
these two parks.

ning Officials, and Mr. Hall,

EAT $40 DINNER
ON COURT HINT
New York Couple Spend Gay
Night When Construction
Noise Shatters Rest,
By Mary Elisabeth Plummer
New York, Dec. 5. (iP) Not
the city of New York, but an
"unknown benefactor," will pay
the $65.32 wine, food and hotel
bill which Mr. and Mrs. James
C. Lewis of Sutton Place, ran
up last night on the recommen
dation of Magistrate Henry C.
Curran.
The magistrate, who was in
one of his Horace-quoting moods
today, greeted the Lewises in
Yorkville Court where yester
day he suggested that, since con
struction work on the new East
River Drive near their apart
ment had shattered their sleep,
they should spend the evening
wining and dining and resting
at a good hotel.
"And bring the bill to me,
he instructed them.
Judge Surprised
But today when he looked at
it, he appeared a little surprised
and remarked that he didn't
think it would be that high.
That, however, didn't seem to
disturb the Lewises, who looked
very smart in tailored check
suits made from the same material.
Yesterday, they were in court
as sleepy -eyed complainants
against a construction company,
which they charged with violat
ing the anti-noise ordinance.
Magistrate Curran, assured the
noisy work would be completed
by today, prescribed the "night I
ouf'ai a compromise settlement.
- The Lewises retired last night
at 11:30 in a (2i a day suite at
the Waldorf-Astoria and slept
nine peaceful, quiet hours. Mrs
Lewis, who was wearing a vel
vet snood on her dark hair,
looked refreshed and amused.
Hope Souls Expended
Curran remarked today he
hoped the souls of the Lewises
had been expanded, as well as
the activities of the office of
commissioner Walter D. Binger
of the borough president's staff.
And then, as if this were his
cue, Binger stepped forward and
took the bills.
"I shall be very glad," he said,
"to take the bill and see that
it is paid. I don't know Just who
the ultimate payer will be, But
I do know the city will pay
nothing and we will not permit
the contractor to pay."
Pair Dine Well
The magistrate's prescription
was made after a city official
told him the construction would
be comojeted in 24 more hours,
Lewis is secretary of E. R.
Squibb & Sons, drug manufac
turers.
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis donned
dinner clothes last night, march
ed to the swank Colony Restaur
ant and, following the judge's
gustatory suggestion, ordered
this dinner: Martinis, Beluga
caviar (Curran suggested Fin.
nish rather than Russian), lob'
ster Newburg, pressed duck
with wild rice, salad de Saison,
Burgundy, Peach Melba and
black coffee.
"To Judge Curran!" they
toasted, clinking their glasses
and downing the last drop of
Burgundy.
The dinner cost $40, including
the tip, Lewis said.
