FOURTEEN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, July 24, 1955 Excavation Project Nears Completion North of Ashland Ashland Workmen of the Eugene firm of Miller and Strong are nearing the end of excava tion for a new railroad bridge over Highway 99 going into Ash land from Medford, according to the Ashland Tidings. The project, to be completed in late September, contains a divider in the new highway to go under the Southern Pacific railroad. A four-lane highway will continue from the present four-lane road in front of the O. K. Rubber Welders on Bil lings hill to about Sherdan st., where it will narrow to two lanes. Widening the highway on the Ashland side of the bridge will be the final phase of con struction. To Us Present Bridge Few changes will be made In the present bridge. The new bridge will be constructed just to the east. A concrete abutment being rebuilt will act as the di vider between the two bridges. The new and the present high way will curve in order to pass under the bridge. They will come together again between the bridge and Ashland Mine rd. The new road may be ready for use early in September and completed by the end of the month. Bandleader Seeks His Old Clarinet Benny Goodman, famed clari netest and band leader, has asked for help from the Music Mart in locating a clarinet he once owned, according to Ron Rice, manager. Goodman, now in Hollywood, is looking for a clarinet he used to make the original recordings of his theme song, "Let's Dance," Rice said. Rice was contacted by Good man through Henri Selmer of Paris, France. Selmer is the maker for the clarinet, and al though Goodman has newer clar inets by the same maker, he wants this particular instrument for a movie showing 1935-36 scenes. The serial number of the clarinet is No. L3682. It is 17 key, six ring Selmer model. If found by Aug. 31, the owner will be presented with a $500 Selmer omega clarinet in re turn for the loan of the older instrument for a few weeks, Rice added. "Goodman does not have any recollection of where he traded the instrument, but believes that it was on the west coast," Rice said. Bank Official Slated To Talk for NOMA R. F.
