o fOtJStSCTT MTDrORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, December II. 1933 Two roposa! Is Second fer for Services o City Fringe Area The Medford city council Tuesday night ordered annexa' tion of two areas, one of them about 1,190 acres southeast of present city limits, subject to the approval of residents in the areas. Elections in both areas will be held Jan. 16. The annexation move is the . second offer to provide city ser vices to a rapidly expanding area. In July this year, voters in an area surrounding the city to the south rejected annexation, Added Support The present area southeast of Medford was included in the earlier proposal. Since July, however, a number of persons interested in establishing exten sive subdivisions and promoting " construction of Rogue Valley Memorial hospital, have added their support for annexation of the area. Petitions bearing signatures of a majority of residents in the area were submitted for council consideration. Both the council and the planning commission studied the proposal before ac ' tion was instigated to annex the area. One of the areas a county "island" was formed when in dividual property owners peti tioned for annexation. The ""island 'is about three and a half blocks in Siskiyou Heights extension just north of Verde Hills subdivision. Boundary Listed The other, larger area ex tends from the southwest corner of Foothill and Hillcrest rd. in a general southerly direction to Barneburg hni. The area in cludes the Rogue Valley Coun try club and the Rogue Valley Memorial hospital site on the west side of Murphy rd. The pro posed city limits follow property lines around Barneburg hill and extends north along the east side of Ellendale dr. to south of Barnett rd.--The boundary ex tends east to Bear creek, and follows the creek to the present city limits. According to city officials, the larger area includes about 125 residences, with a population of OTTO EWALDSEN ::r:mss:fft3gc . l , p ; v l New Chamber of Commerce Officers Named.

There are three stores, four farm barns, one crematorium, two mausole ums, one radio station, a golf course and two churches. The area includes both' the IOOF cemetery and the Siskiyou Memorial park. Assessed Value City Manger Robert Duff es timated the assessed valuation of both areas about $370,400. The larger area has an assessed valuation of S343,260, and the Siskiyou Heights extension area about S27.140, Duff said. Duff pointed out that should resider ts approve annexation, city services would be available, some of which are tentatively planned for next summer. One of the major services would be a trunk line sewer along Barnett rd. Duff said tentative plans call for con struction to be started by June next year. The trunk line sewer will cost an estimated $78,090, Duff said, and will extend from about the hospital site westward to Bear creek and north along the east side of Bear creek. Supporters of Rogue Valley Memorial hospital, for which construction funds are being subscribed, pointed out that a commitment for sewer facilities must be made, and construction of the hospital started, in June if the organization is to receive Hill-Burton federal funds. An application for the funds, total ing $363,000, has been approved by the state board of health. Serve. Verde Hills A Barnett rd. trunk line sew er also would serve residents of Verde Hills subdivision. Resi dents have petitioned the council for immediate consideration of a sewer system because of ad verse sanitary conditions. Abput a month ago, Verde Hills resi dents requested comparative costs of installation of a trunk sewer line along Barnett rd. and a pumping station which would utilize present lines. City officials pointed out that a pumping station would suffice for a while, but within a few years present lines would be BOB ROOT Gift shop, of which he is now manager.

Water facilities also will be started next year if the area is annexed. Duff said estimated costs of installing a 10 or 12 inch water main along Barnett rd. to Murphy rd. would be about $42,000, and that such a main will have to be installed almost immediately. He noted that some of the cost will be as sessed against property served, but added that the city water department will finance much of the installation. Estimate Given Depending on development in the area, Duff said, the water department has estimated that about $96,000 will be expended for mains in the area within the next two or three years. The expenditure includes installa tion of a 24-inch trunk water main between Capitol hill and the reservoir site on Barneburg hill. ' Duff said construction of a reservoir on Barneburg hill is in long-range plans for munici pal development. He noted, how ever, that if area development demands, it would be construct ed sooner. Installation of lateral water and sewer mains depends upon resi dents submitting petitions to the council. Financing of lateral mains will be assessed against property served.

Bennet, local warehouse busi nessman, has been elected presi dent of the Klamath County chamber of commerce for 1956. Annexation of the area also will provide residents, busines ses" and farming areas protec tion under municipal zoning ordinances. Duff pointed out that the area, if annexed, will be annexed as a residential district. However, the council at its last meeting directed the planning commis sion to sudy possible zones in the area, so that, once annexed, it may be zoned as quickly as possible to fit present uses and for future development. Protection Seen City officials noted that zon ing helps protect investments in homes and businesses, as well as farming. They pointed out that farming and agriculture are per mitted under present ordinances, and that consideration is being given a possible agriculture zone. One resident of the southeast area expressed concern at Tues day's council meeting that land across Murphy rd. from the hospital site will be in the coun ty, where no zoning regulations would restrict use of the land. The resident did not want some commercial business to develop across from the hospital. City officials pointed out that a county planning commission is being considered by the county court which could control such use of the land. Police, Fire Protection In addition to zoning protec tion, residents will be provided with city police protection and fire protection. Residents pres ently are protected through the Medford Rural Fire district, but city officials pointed out that only one pumper truck is re A NEW AT ORGANS AND quired to answer calls in the rural district. If needed, all city equipment responds to a call anywhere within the city. . Duff noted a necessity to have all fire equipment available when Rogue Valley Memorial hospital is constructed. Additional, police protection would consist of resident's re quests to watch vacant houses during vacations, to- check prowler calls, "and other distur bances in the area. Many of the services are available through state police or the sheriff's of fice, but because of limited per sonnel in each organization, city officials believe residents will be better protected if the area is annexed. Street Construction Street construtcion within the area will be done when resi dents submit petitions for street improvements. I m p r ovements include curbs and gutters in addition to improved street sur faces. Maintenance would be provided within the city at present, Duff said. The city public works depart ment will install street lights in the area when the need arises, Duff said. School district boundaries will not change automatically should the area be annexed, Duff point ed out. Much of the area is in the Phoenix school district, and would remain in that district un less changed by the county school board. Duff said several residents in the area have inquired about school boundaries, expressing a desire to send children to Med ford schools. SNOW at between Ashland and Medford on Highway 99 0ft and "Ei" THE TWIN ORGANS Opening Tuesday Evening - CELESTE - VIBRAHARP - PIANO THE VOCAL INTERPRETATIONS OF uman Relations Qn ccidents onference Here There is no such thing as an "accident in the usual sense of, the word," Melvin L. Murphyt director of Mental Health asso ciation of Oregon, said yester day. He said there are emotional and physiological reasons be hind most people's "need for an accident." Murphy spoke to about 325 delegates attending the Southern Oregon Industrial Safety conference here. Four Factors His topic was "Human Re lations in Accident Prevention." He said there are four things which are among the most im portant in respect to the human side of safety hostility, love, need for excitement and a re sponsibility for fellow em ployees. Murphy said that contrary to popular opinion, it is acceptable and normal to become angry. He noted, however, the danger is when anger is misdirected or hidden. He said that too many times anger is taken out on the individual person, the wrong person, or machinery with which the persons is working. The need for love is one of the most important things in our life, Murphy said, and noted that love usually is present, but not always recognized. The need for excitement, Murphy said, is because some employees desire to make work more ex citing. Our present day life, he said, does not provide socially acceptable excitement as it did during the movement westward. Employee Important He said the responsibility for fellow employees is almost self- explanatory. He noted that em- nlovees should recognize the importance they play in indus try. He said accidents often are caused because the employee thinks he is not important on the job. Other speakers on the morn ing general session included of ficer Joe Haystead of Roseburg Commissioner William A. Calla han, of the state industrial acci dent commission. . and Lou O Arens. also of the SIAC. Haystead, of the Oregon State police, said the real' cause for many accidents remains a mys tery, Respite the fact complete investigations are made. He noted that in the past 40 years, more people have been killed on the nation's highways, than in wars. Callahan praised regional safety conferences, pointing out that more delegates attended such meetings rather than governor's conference on safety Besides Arens. G. S.' Kallen- baugh, director of the accident prevention division of the state industrial accident commission, also participated. Turtle Club -Award Jack Morgan of the California Oreeon Power company was pre sented an award by the Turtle club as a workman whose life was saved because he was wear ing a metal hat. Morgan, while working near Yreka, Calif., as knocked to the ground with a "hot stick" which fell from a pole while he was controlling a rope at the foot of the pole. Morgan suffered lacera tions, but no serious injuries. He was struck on the head. The afternoon session yester day was devoted to panel dis cussion sessions on logging and (I Discussed log hauling, sawmilling, ply wood, construction, utilities and general industries.
