Two pieces of I' II,1- ALL THROUGH YOUR HOME CRAIN & 225 East Rogue River valley which he said could control Medford's sanitation if approved by the people. Farrell pointed out the city cannot be involved unless the council passed a resolution call ing for an election on the pro posed district, which could re move sanitary facilities from the city's authority. Mayor Earl M. Miller said he did not think the council would accept such a proposal, but Far rell pointed out the proposed bill was introduced to relieve difficulties outside the city of Medford.
