The ordinance calling for as sessment for the main passed the council unanimously. Paving Bid Accepted The council also awarded the contract for paving of Taylor street, from Myrtle street one block to the end of the street, to" E. C. Conrad. The bid was read as the last council meeting but was not accepted because it was more than 10 per cent above the engineer's estimate. A poll of property owners on the street there are only two showed they favored going ahead with the paving. Conrad's bid was $1,517.20. A similar poll of people liv ing along an alley in the New town addition showed they were opposed to having the alley pav ed at the price offered by Con rad, the lowest bidder. Seven voted for the paving, seven against and five refused to vote. Wednesday, August S. 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Scientists define an insect as an invertebrate (boneless) animal with three pairs of legs and a body divided into three distinct parts head, thorax and adbo- men. Those who didn't vote were con sidered opposed, and the bids for the project were rejected. Zone Change Approved Following another public hearing the council voted to change the north side of West Jackson street between Holly and Woodstock streets from a residential to a commercial zone. Councilman Harold Frye said he opposed the, change to Zone 3B because it would do away with setback lines, but he voted with the majority in favor of the rezoning. The vote was un animous. Evergreen bus lines were giv en permission to give tempor ary bus service to the camp for Mexican workers on Table Rock road. The cofcfpany will operate 25-cent service from the camp to Medford until the camp is closed down at the end of the fruit season. City Attorney Frank P. Far rell was asked if he was yet able to report on his study of hedges and whether or not they should be classified under city law as fences and be subject to the same restrictions. He said he would be prepared to advise the council at the next meeting. The council authorized install ation of two new lights in Haw thorne park, south of Main street. The expense is expected to be $175. Survey Ordered The superintendent's office was ordered to survey the re grassing on Pennsylvania aven ue parking strips following com pletion of a recent paving pro ject. Mrs. Alliean Maxwell, 504 Pennsylvania avenue, objected to the job the contractor had done. She said her parking that had been replanted was coming up all weeds, and the driveway was not joined properly to the street. Mayor Flynn said it is the duty of the city to see that these jobs are properly done. Western Oil and Burner com pany was awarded the bid for delivery of fuel oil for the air port and park departments. Western's bid was the lowest of the two offered. The council meeting was ad journed until Friday noon when problems relating to a new fire district will be considered. (See Story Page 1) Casket Revalued; Assessment Too High Burlington,' Colo. (U.R) Jim Gernhart, who has held two an nual "funerals" for himself to make sure he isn't "buried like a dog," allowed Wednesday his fancy coffin didn't cost $4,000 after all. That was the. value Gernhart placed on the casket when he held his first funeral in 1951. So Kit Carson County Assessor Park Guthrie slipped a personal property assessment on the cas ket based on that figure. The State Tax Commission re ceived a letter from the 76-year-old Gernhart. It seems he "over estimated" the cost. Actually, Gernhart wrote, the coffin cost only $1,250 and he had a receipt to prove it.
