MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. WEDNESDAY. JULY 10. 1940. PAGE FIVE CITY COUNCIL TOLD TOWN LIFE COSTS CAUSEfGRATION Expense of Paving Borne by Property Owner in fvieo fcrl; Country Paving Free Miny Medford residents have moved to the country where virtually all the advantages of the city are available at less cost and ways and means should be sought to put town costs on a par with rural costs, Ger ald T. Latham of 619 Park ave nue told the city council last night. Mr. Latham expressed these views at an Informal hearing on the Park avenue-Catherine street and Dakota avenue-Beek-man street paving petitions. All property owners concerned had been invited to the conference to state their attitude on the proposed improvements after hearing the estimated costs. There was no unnanimity on either proposed improvement, opposition being expressed by a number of property owners to each project. The whole matter was referred back to the streets and roads commit tee for recommendation. Equitable Means Needed. Mr. Latham said that road and highway costs in the coun try were not nearly so much as In the city and he suggested that more equitable ways of paving city streets should be found. He added that while he personally was in favor of the proposed Park - Catherine paving proposition, there were "lots of people who cannot ai- ford such costly Improvements. He said he favored improve ments for the advancement of the community, but he counsel led that thought should be given to the migration of city dwellers to the country to es cape burdensome taxes and as sessments. Mrs. Walter Inch of Catherine street, who has been petitioning the council for two years for the street improvement, also spoke against any fiscal policy that was liable to deprive peo ple of their homes after they had spent their lives in building them up. Her remark was un derstood to refer to the loss of homes through inability to Willkie and McNary Discuss Campaign !7 burjements be assessed to Taylor. privet hedge was "crooked, thin, unsightly, valueless and The trees in the Taylor or-1 on her land."

Why can't that be done in the city?" ' Long Sought Goal. Councilman J. F. Erickson told Mrs. Inch that Mayor C. C. Furnas and the council had been working for years' in an effort to convince the legisla ture that the citiea of the state should share in the gasoline tax revenues for the construc tion and maintenance of city streets. It Is a matter of educating the people so that they will realize that the gasoline tax revenues belong as much to city people as to country people, Mayor Furnas said in explain ing what must be done before cities will be able to share In the revenues. The Leagues of Oregon Cities has been working for several years in an effort to procure a share of the tax for city streets, the mayor pointed out, adding that "we thir.k that it is only just thr.t the cities should receive a part of the gas tax." The mayor stated the council was aware of the burden of property taxes and assessments and was doing all in its power to make the burden as light as possible. - Petitions Cited. It was pointed out during the course of thi conference that the petitions for the street the council but among the prop erty owners themselves. City Superintendent Fred W. Schcffsl estimated $3.56 a front foot as the minimum cost of the Dakota - Beekman improvement and $4.27 for the Park-Catherine Improvement. The mayor pointed out that these were only estimates, subjec: to a contrac tor's revision up or down. 'The actual costs might be a little more or a little less," he ex plained. "You gentlemen," said Mrs. Marie Otterdaye of 845 Dakota avenue, had better be making up your minds now lt'i going to be a little less.'' Councilmen George T. Frey and J.
