EIGHT MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, May 10, 195S Planning Commission Approves Annexation Plan; Studies Others The Medford planning com mission voted last night to rec ommend to the city council an nexation of the Laurelhurst ad dition, called public hearings on three zone change requests, and appointed four committees to survey other requests. The request from Laurelhurst addition asks annexation of an area between Crater Lake ave, and an alley between" Pearl st. and- Oregon Terrace. Part of the addition is within the city. Election Necessary. City Manager Robert Duff told the commission an election by the people in the area would be necessary because 100 per cent of the property owners did not sign the petition. Duff said "there is a serious sanitation problem in the area and annexation would give the people an opportunity to get the service installed." E. N. McKinstry, city engi neer, suggested that the annexa tion of the addition include about 150 feet north of Stevens ave., to prevent joint city-county ownership of a street. The council probably will consider annexation of the addi tion at its next meeting May 17. Hearing Called A public hearing was called for the next commission meet ing on a request from Dr. Edwin R. Durno that an alley in the Wildwood addition west of Riv erside ave. and north of Edwards st. be vacated.

Pinball Issue To Get Hearing Portland (U.R) A public hearing was requested today on the issue of whether pinball ma chines should be allowed to con tinue operating here. The request was made by the AFL Teamsters Union in a letter to the city council from Clyde C. Crosby, international representa tive here for the union. It will go before the council for conside ration May 19. Pinballs will become illegal here as soon as the State Su preme Court hands down its mandate upholding Portland an-ti-pinball ordinance. This is ex pected sometime this month. Crosby wrote that ' we of the labor movement are particularly disturbed by prospects of any ban on pinball machines for the reason that many small shop keepers, restaurateurs, cigar stores and taverns are depen dent in considerable measure on the income they have enjoyed from these amusement devics. He said the machines should be licensed.
