Council Approves Alley Paying Over Minority Protest The Medford city council last night backed up a two to one ma jority of property owners in the area involved by voting to pave an alley running between Da kota avenue and 14th street from Newtown to King streets. The council's 5 to 1 vote for paving overrode strong written and verbal protests of three prop erty owners who stated the cost involved was too high for the benefit derived. They also point ed out that because of the "good condition" of their end of the alley, paving would not help them. Councilman Elmer Chllders voted no and Councilmen John Snider and Stanley Jones Jr., were absent. The council also approved a two-year franchise for Southern Pacific railroad switching and siding tracks on Evergreen, 10th, 11th and 12th streets. Southern Pacific had requested a 10-year franchise extension. Councilman Dwight Houghton, speaking for the airport com mittee, told the council that the Civil Aeronautics administration has indicated it desires to renew a lease on propery now being used by the CAA at the munici pal airport. The council author ized preparation of a letter of acknowledgement for the signa ture of Mayor D. L. Flynn. The appointment of Ruth Holmes Boyd as deputy city treasurer was approved by the council.
