City's Needs Explained
At Voters' League Meeting
Medford's need for expanded facilities for the fire, water and
police departments were explained to the Medford League of
Women Voters at the annual meeting of the group Saturday at the
Rogue Valley Country club. Speaking were Mayor Diamond Flynn,
Water Superintendent Robert Duff and Leo Wiedner, acting fire
chief.
Election was also held, with
Mrs. Frank Fairweather elected
first vice-president; Mrs. Richard
Gray, second vice-president; Miss
Elizabeth McGalliard, corres
ponding secretary: Mrs. Paul
Janney, treasurer; Mrs. O. L.
Williams and Mrs. Ed Bolt, di
rectors and Mrs. J. A. Dierdorff,
chairman of the nominating com
mittee for 1951. Mrs. S. E.
Philips' term as president has
one year yei to run.
Mayor Flynn stated Medford
has been very conservative In
its requests for increased taxes
and said the added expense of
governing the expanding city has
been met through increased prop
erty valuation so that tax mill
age has actually decreased some.
He declared that the police de
partment is understaffed and the
force underpaid so that it is im
possible to give adequate protec
tion. With 15 men to cover the
city on 24-hour shifts, at times
there is no police protection, he
said.
He expressed full approval of
the mayor-council type of city
government, said the city super
intendent is now in effect a city
manager, and gave high praise
to the various citizens' commit
tees which have been working
throughout the year.
Mayor Flynn said the city must
look fn'i'rri to some plan of
compensating the mayor and
council in order to offset the
financial sacrifice involved in
holding these offices.
Mr. Duff declared Medford's
pure water is one of the city's
greatest assets and said if such
water were available in Califor
nia it would be sold in bottles.
He spoke of the large increase in
services which the department

has had to encompass since the
present plant was placed in
operation in laze, the city hav
ing grown from 9,300 popula
tion to 20,000 since that time.
Repairs are becoming neces
sary more frequently, he said.
and added that a break in one
pipe would leave Medford with'
out water for 24 hours.
Superintendent Duff said there
were two alternatives for in
creasing the water supply, one
being meters for residential serv
ice, which would extend the life
of the system for a little while,
and more water brought it.
Estimated cost of the proposed
new pipeline would be $2,800,
000 he said, and added that the
debt can be paid off without in
creasing rates. He gave figures
on present indebtedness and the
sale of water to outside districts.
Speaking of the needs of the
fire department. Acting Chief
Wiedner said that a serious situa
tion prevails because of lack of
equipment and personnel. He
has recommended mirchase of a
ladder truck, building of two
sub-stations, one on the east and
one on the west side, installation
of an alarm system. Durchase of
reserve hose and additional man
power. Chief Wiedner said that Med
ford is the only city over 10.000
Dooulation in the state without
a ladder truck and he said that
the city's "class five" fire system
is suitable for a town of only
11.000 pooulation. Medford is
being penalized now by insur
ance underwriters because of the
lack of a fire alarm system, he
said, and rieclared that it will be
further penalized soon if the fire
department is not standardized
and the water supply increased.
He said "it is un to the Dennln
of Med'ord whether thev want
to SDend their monev for increas
ed insurance rates, and still be
saddled with the fear of uncon
trolled fires, or snend it for ade
nuate fire protection and enioy
the peace of mind that comes
with it."
League members asked manv
questions and exDressed tho
opinion that Medford voters will
sunnort these measures which
will be on the primary ballot
Mav 19.
Mrs. Philips reported briefly
on the national convention.
which she attended the latter
nart of April, and Mrs. Hugh
Collins, voters' service chairman,
reported on pre-primary regis
tration activities of the league.
