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

"Country people tell rne,"
Mrs. Inch said, "that they have
paved highways that are paid
for by the state gasoline lax.
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. Frank Reinhart were

A giant sugar pine log, thought
to be the largest ever milled In
southern Oregon, and probably
the state, was cut this week by
the Medford Corporation (Owen-
Oregon Company) sawmill.
The log scaled 5,038 board
feet. It was 16 feet long, with
a butt measurement of 9 feet, 2
inches, and a top measurement
of six feet nine inches.
The log was from a tree in
the Butte Falls district, near
the Mosquito ranger station.
General Manager James H.
Owen said it was as large If not
larger, than the mammoth sugar
pine pointed out to tourists on
the Crater Lake highway near
Prospect.
