FOUH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Gold Hill Council Hears Alternative Roadway Proposal Gold Hill An alternative proposition on the matter of giv ing Ben Hur Lampman Park to the state as a right-of-way for the new section of freeway high way to be built across the riv er from the town, was offered Gold Hill at a special council meeting Monday night. W. G. Stuntz, right of way agent for the State Highway Commission, stated that if Gold Hill would allow the state to take two small plots at the nar row end of the park, a portion that is of no' value for park purposes anyhow, the state would build an access road west to it from the Old Stage road. He said that under this arrange ment, the people of Gold Hill would still have all the usable part of their park, and full ac cess to it by means of the new road alongside the freeway. Action Postponed He asked the council to pass a resolution authorizing the mayor and recorder to sign a guit-claim deed to the two small plots of the park, after the mat ter had been approved by the city attorney, Edward C. Kelley. The council, after discussion, postponed action until after they had consulted the city attorney and had taken time to fully consider the proposition. The council also discussed the matter of allowing repairs and Improvements to be made to the old second-hand story building owned by John Runyon at the corner of Second avenue ana Fifth street. The members voted to accept recommendations made by the fire safety committee, and allow such Improvements as would comply with the state building code. This would in clude new wiring, a new chim ney, adequate sanitary facilities, etc. The council voted Us approval of the purchase of a 1946 Dodge truck to be used lor naming garbage. The rest of the meeting was devoted to work on the city budget for the coming year. As soon as the budget is completed, the council will meet with the citizens advisory budget com mittee to go over all the alloca tions for the various depart ments of the city. Mama Could Give Lesson On Saving of Gasoline Toledo, O. U.P.) If Papa drove like Mama, the family car could travel a lot farther on less gasoline. "Woman drivers use less gaso line than men simply because the fairer sex generally drives within the speed range where the best mileage Is obtained 20 to 40 miles an hour," Dean A. Walters, technical service di rector of Willys-Overland, said. "Men, on the other hand, gen erally go much faster." "A driver can cut his car's efficiency by as much os 50 per cent through excessive speed," Walters point ed out. "For example, extensive road tests on our newest car showed that, with overdrive, it gets up to 35 miles per gallon at 30 miles per hour. The gaso line mileage drops to 28 at 50 miles per hour, 25 at 60, and 17 miles per gallon at 80 miles an hour. Thursday. April 17, 19521 . .mi. ... m iin...i.....j.im u u, inimp.iw,liiil,iwiy,"'..'"
