mam and are satisfied with the
service they are receiving from
it. Mayor Diamond Flynn point
ed out that some people in the
area have complained of insuf
ficient water pressure and that
this main would prevent that.
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.

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.

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.
