City Problems Discussed
By Officials for League
"The problems facing the city of Medford are many and var
ied," said Robert Duff, Medford's new city manager to Medford
League of Women Voters at a luncheon Saturday, at the Jackson
hotel. 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.

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.
