MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1942. PAGE SEVEN ASHLAND'S PLAZA LEFT IN MESS BY Highway Straightening Proj ect Out for Duration Some Buildings Down. Ashland. April 30. (Special) The Plaza highway straighten ing project, the cause of a vast amount of negotiation during the last several years which seemed to be materializing into reality, apparently will be de layed for the duration of the war, according to a report re ceived today by the local com- Omittee. Recently the state highway commission made Hie second re quest for approval of this pro . Ject by the war department as a necessary war-effort project, but the engineer corps of the army at San Francisco decided against the project as far as present completion Is concerned. The local committee Is con sidering the possibility of fur ther action, although it is felt that this decision will probably be accepted, without any further effort to gain approval of the project. Left In Mau The state highway commis don has already purchased all of the buildings and lots that would be included in she mod ernization project and in addi tion has actually paid many of O the occupants of the buildings to be torn down sums to compen sate them for the moving of their stocks of merchandise. Also, one of the abandoned buildings has already been torn down, as well as a building on Oak street upon which space G. S. Butler planned to recon struct a building for the occu pancy by J. D. Mars and Son, Postal Telegraph and others. MASOTOIVE ANNUAL RITUAL On the evening of May 8, Medford Lodge 103, A. F. A. M., will again exemplify the Master A Mason degree in full form.
