Both Mr. Duff and Darell Huson, city treasurer, were guest speakers. Mayor Earl Miller who was scheduled to speak also, was unable to attend because of illness. Mr. Duff spoke briefly of, the history of Medford's acceptance of the city manager form of government. He then discussed a few of the problems facing him and his staff, and the city. His new office of city manager is not dissimilar to his recent posi tion of city superintendent, he said, for the city council still outlines the program and estab lishes the policies on which the city operates through its city manager. According to Mr. Duff, a seri ous sanitation problem has de veloped in the fringe areas ad jacent to Medford, where popu lation has increased beyond the ability of the soil to make prac tical the use of septic tanks. Closely related to this are the pros and cons of annexation. A fact Mr. Duff brought out about annexation is, that after an annexation takes place, it still takes a vote of the people to change the tax base valuation of the city to include in its tax base the valuation of the an nexed area. This must be done before benefits in increased tax receipts can be realized from that area, since the city is limit ed to a six per cent increase of its previous year's tax budget, or tax base valuation, he said. Mr. Duff said Medford's water supply- is adequate for many years unless heavy industry comes to the valley. Since the economy of the valley needs in dustry, increased industrial de velopment is encouraged, he said, but the water supply for this industry would come from another proposed source. Also facing Medford is the im plementation of a city arterial street program, he said. At the request of the city, the Oregon State Highway commission sur veyed the city's traffic patterns and growth tendencies and sup plied a recommended city street, arterial system that the city hopes to have completed within ten years, Mr. Duff said. He went on to say that this same traffic survey showed that the average visitor to the down town area will not walk over a block and a half from his parked car to attend to his errand, oth erwise he will go to a decentral ized ' shopping area. Therefore, he said, if a healthy city center is to continue, downtown park ing must be made - available. Parking can be made availa ble, he said, through establish ment of an assessment district, assessing those businesses bene fitted by the facilities, by invest ment of private industry, by is suing revenue bonds, or through city financing. Interceptor and storm sewers BOYS' HEAVY CORDUROY TROUSERS WHILE LAST! $ are needed in the northeast and northwest districts of Medford, but Mr. Duff said these are hard to obtain since the need: is felt Only in the affected districts and not by all of Medford. Mr. Huson gave statistics on the sources and amounts of in come from all the departments of city government, which in cludes all library and traffic fines,' all' city-issued licenses and feesj water department receipts, refunds front the state highway gas tax, and the city's share of county taxes. ' , Mr. Huson brought out sever al items of -interest about city financing. Municipal bonds, the interest of which he said is tax free, are of three types. Revenue bonds are self liquidating such as water and sewer bonds. Im provement bonds authorized un der the Bancroft Act of Oregon, for municipal improvements, are paid off through a city tax as sessment in the improved area. General obligation bonds are paid off through a city wide levy for use in parks, bridges, library and t airport facilities. Mr. Huson emphasized the fact that Medford's city tax levy is the smallest in Oregon. ', ; During the question and an swer period, the question was raised concerning the proposed arterial highway, U.S. Highway 99, to be elevated along and ex tending partly over, Bear creek, from Jackson street to Barnett road. Alternatives to this propo sal were discussed. Mr. Duff said the city -has taken on stand on this issue as it is still in the planning stages. Mr. Duff said expressions of opinion . concern ing this should be mailed to the State Highway commission, Salem, Oregon. The next general luncheon meeting of the League of Wom en Voters will be March 5. Speaker will be Dr. John M. Swarthout, head of the political science department of Oregon State college. His subject will be related to the trade survey now being done by the league. , . Blue Star. Mothers To Meet Thursday Medford chapter, Blue .
