Council Oil's Zone Change;
Acts On Other Agenda items
The Medford city council last
night adopted several ordin
ances, including one change of
zone, vacation of an alley,-and
calling public hearings 'on chang
ing zones in the Laurelhurst ad
dition. An ordinance was adopted
changing from two . family to
heavy industrial property owned
by "Builder's Supply company,
Clark st. and McAndrews rd. A
hearing was held at the last
' meeting, but continued until last
night to give the council an op
portunity to inspect ths prop
erty. .
Councilmen pointed out that
the area was' sold to Builder's
Supply with the knowledge of
what type business would be in
stalled, but apparently there had
been an oversight in zoning
when the city was rezoned several-years
ago. ,,'
Non-Conforming Property
The property had been non
. conforming, which prohibited
the company , from obtaining a
permit to make necessary re-,
pairs. -; Councilmen noted that
whether or not the property was
rezoned, the business would be
conducted as it has been. Heavy
industrial zone permits modifi
cations of businesses located in
that zone, councilmen pointed
out. ' . "
. Earlier. residents . from the
area objected to the zone change
on grounds it would create ad
ditional inconveniences such as
increased noise, - dust and de:
creas'e value of property as resi
dential sites in the area.
An ordinance also was adopt
ed vacating a north-south alley
in the Edwards Place addition
after nojme appeared at a pub
lic hearing to oppose vacation.
The alley ended at an east-wesV
alley in the addition. ; The city
maintained easement rights to
a city storm sewer in the alley.
Milk Ordinance Amended
The . milk ordinance " was
amended to provide pro rata' col
lection fees. The change was
requested by the Milk Producers
league, - which voluntarily of
fered to collect from members
city license fees, to simplify the
league's procedures. New " ac
counts will be prp rated to the
first of each ' year through the
change, City Manager Robert
Duff pointed out.
Duff pointed out that by hav
ing the league collect fees the
city's collection would be simpli
fied and should assure an almost
100 per cent collection,!
Ordinances were adopted call
ing for two public hearings on
change of zones. Hearings will
be held at 7:30 p.m., Feb. 21,
at the regular council meeting
One change is to commercial
along West Main and Sixth sts
in Morey's addition, and the
other is changing zones from
single family to commercial in
the - recently annexed v Laurel
hurst addition. The Laurelhurst
addition zone changes have been
recommended by the Medford
planning commission . to serve
the need of property owners in
the area. .
Accept Land for Road
Another ordinance adopted
accepted land for road and dedi
cation of public use of Stevens
st. Duff said records disclosed
that part of the street was
owned by the county, and the
county court deeded the land to
the city.
Bids were awarded for gaso
line, diesel oil and kerosene to
L. G. McLaren of the Shell Oil
company, and Tidewater asso
ciated. McLaren's bid of 13.7
cents per gallon for diesel oil
was low among seven bids. Tide
water submitted bids of .2092
cents per gallon on truck and
trailer delivery of regular gaso
line, and .2421 cents per gallon
for ethyl gasoline. Tidewater
and the Texas company submit
ted identical bids of .192 cents
per gallon , on kerosene. ' The
contract was awarded Tidewater
because the company was low
on two other bids. ,
The council passed an ordin
ance approving the sale of two
lots in Highland park addition
for $1,300, which was obtained
by the city through an assess
ment foreclosure in 1924. Duff
told the council the offer , was
the best the city has ' received
for the property. v
Approve Statements
. Pre-qualification of Warren
Northwest, Inc.," arid Meyers D.
Jones, 813 Minnesota ave., were
approved by the council. Duff
pointed out that Warren North
west submitted pre-qualification
statements for bidding on city
projects this year, 'and Jones
submitted pre-qualification state
ments to bid on the East Side
Fire station. . -t .
The council approved assess
ments on a lot basis for the Eastwood-Capital
" ave. sanitary sew
er. Jock - Fitzgerald, chairman
of the council's finance commit
tee, pointed out that the system
was the most equitable among
several systems considered.
The council granted a request
to remove three parking spaces
on the west side of North Bart
lett st. from Fourth st. ,to 150
feet north. The request was sub
mitted by property owners who
said they have furnished 12 off
street parking spaces on their
property, but that curb parking
prohibited full use of the spaces:
The change was . recommended
by the traffic engineering depart
ment. Requests Granted
A request for 30-minute park
ing in three spaces in front of
the Dairy Freeze, 900 North
Riverside ave., was granted. The
businesses requested the change
because- they are open evenings,
and are unable to find parking
facilities during the evening. The
traffic engineering department
recommended the change.
The council also authorized
Duff to negotiate for road right
of way for extending East Jack
son st. -
Neuberger Urges Plug
For Veto of Gas Bill
Washington (U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore. has
appealed to Oregon Gov. Elmo
Smith and Portland Mayor Fred
Peterson to urge President Ei
senhower to veto the natural gas
bill:
The disputed bill , was passed
by the senate Monday and by
the house last summer. t pro
vides for the relaxing of federal
control over the price gas pro
ducers may charge pipeline com
panies that carry the fuel from
well to consumer.

land L were affected because . of
the imminent arrival of natural
gas in the state.
