City Planners Favor
Shrubbery Ordinance,
Annexation of Lots
A measure concerning trees or
shrubbery which obstruct public
property and annexation of two
lots in the southwest corner of
town were passed on to the city
council with favorable recom
mendation by the city planning
commission last night.
The commission unanimously
supported a proposed ordinance
introduced by Mrs. O. A. Eden.
If approved by the council, the
measure would give the city the
right to trim or remove trees,
shrubs, and other growing plants
"which endanger or may en
danger the usefullness or secur
o. ity of a public street, sewer, or
sidewalk."
Back Annexation
Two lots on the northeast cor
ner of; Murray st. and Columbus
ave., were recommended by the
commission for annexation. The
owners. Benton "W. Smith and
Oscar W. Larson, had requested
such action, as the property is
now surrounded on four sides by
city served land.
0 City Manager Robert Duff
promised to take up an alleged
violation of the zoning ordinance
with City Attorney Frank Far
rell this morning. A private citi
zen appeared before the plan
ning body last night asking that
measure be taken to close a
boarding house on Willamette
ave. The street is zoned 1-A for
single family dwellings.
Tom Wray, commission chair
man, appointed Mark Goldy and
City Engineer Ed McKinstry a
committee to study and recom
mend zoning of the newly an
nexed Laurelhurst district.

structure's platform would ex
tend 10 feet on to the right-of-way
which is not used for street
purposes.
Don Root and Mrs. Eden were
appointed to investigate- a re
quest that the city vacate a-
north-south alley running from
QUince st. to the east-west alley
between Quince and Rose sts.
The latter two committees
were to report at a special plan
ning commission session set for
5 p.m. Monday. .
The commission told James S.
Winslow that property on the
corner of Saling and Oregon
Terrace for which he requested
a change of setback had been
vacated by the city. Therefore,
the planning group had no juris
diction.
A request by Benton W.
Smith to change the setback
from 10 feet to nothing on the
corner of Eighth and Laurel sts,
was denied. A petition from
property owners is required be
fore action can be taken.
Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Hagen, 824
Belmont st., asked. the commis
sion if a single dwelling could
be constructed on their prop
erty next to the present duplex,
The commission said it could
not. Total square footage of the
Hagen buildings, 9,200, would
not meet city requirements of
10,000 square foot minimum
area for such an arrangement.
'.Shortly before adjournment,
City Manager Duff handed com
mission members copies of ani
mal and agricultural zoning
regulations for several Oregon
cities. The commissioners were
asked to study them, in connec
tion with a possible need for si
milar ordinances in Medford.

Flying Farmer Bombs
Meadow Mice
Burt, N. Y. (U.R) Meadow
mice haven't a chance when a
flying farmer, Russell D. Sage,
bombs them from the air.
Sage has put into use a gadget
known as a Venturi pipe, hook
ed over the side of an airplane,
to shower poisoned pellets into
the mice runways . of his or
chards. The propeller blast from
low altitude does the trick. .
One of western New .York's
first flying farmers, Sage says
his novel system has it all over
the ground method of distribut
ing poisoned bait to kill meadow
mice one of the worst orchard
pests. He claims it also is much
more effective. -
By using his plane, Sage says
he can cover an acre in two min
utescompared with about an
hour's time when using the hand
broadcast method, a garden-seed
er or a tractor attachment.
