Lovejoy, chairman of the Retail Merchant's associa tion of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, discuss ed proposals for an off-street parking program at the chamb er roundtable yesterday noon at the Jackson hotel. The committee, composed of members of the merchant's as sociation, studied proposals for the parking program. The plan, he said, railed for the added taxation of S20.000 a year on two different sets of taxpayers, all who are connected with, or would profit by, off-street park ing. Business Tax Business men in the down town area, according to Love joy, are now taxed approxi mately $20,000 a year by the business license tax. Lovejoy stated that the same business men are willing to be taxed another $20,000 if they could be sure both amounts would be taken from the city's general fund and applied to off-street parking. According to the plan, prop erty owners in the downtown crea also would be taxed $20,000 for the off-street parking fund, Lovejoy said. He indicated pro perty owners agree to the pro posal. Lovejoy added that addition al taxations would amount to S60,000 a year and after 10 years provide the off-street parking fund with $600,000, an amount the mayor's parking committee said would be need ed, he said. 'Fair Price' He also said Director of Pub lic Works Vern Thorpe and City Manager Robert Duff indicated it was a ' fair price." Lovejoy commented that af ter 10 years were up and the projects had been completed, the off-street parking area would become the property of the city. He said this was the same as giving it to the city and said he couldn't understand why the city council turned down the proposal. The committee's plan, Love joy said, did not suggest any particular lots but would call for appointment of parking au thorities to meet with the city manager, director of public works and mayor, to decide lo cations. He said the committee had considered topping part of the railroad track area for park ing use. Annual Increase Lovejoy explained that the council should have no difficulty in allotting the $20,000 from the general fund because of the Obituaries MERRILL THORESON Talent Funeral services for Merrill Claude Thoreson, -62, 201 West Main st., Talent, who died unexpectedly last Saturday, will be held at 10 a.m. Wednes day at Litwiller's Mountain View chapel, Highway 66 and Normal st., Ashland. Interment will be in Moun tain View cemetery. A native of South Dakota, Mr. Thoreson was born on Aug. 21, 1893. Survivors include his mother, Mrs. Abbie Thoreson, Willow Lake, S.D.; his widow, Mrs. Denage Cecilia Thoreson, Talent; a brother, Glen Thore son, Pierre, S.D.; two sisters, Mrs. Mildred Hauge, Willow Lake, S.D., and Mrs. Mabel Cooper, Talent; three children, Keith Thoreson, Talent, Mrs. Ar vella Rost, Eureka, Calif., and Mrs. Merrilee Stephens, Talent, and four grandchildren. MATHEW AUSTIN Mathew John Austin, 63, of 414 South Newtown St., died at home this morning. Mr. Austin was born at Joliet, 111., Aug. 16, 1892. He was a mechanic by trade, and a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic church. The fam ily lived in Guernsey, Wyo., be fore moving to Medford 1.0 years ago. He was a veteran of World War I and a member of the local Veterans of World War I. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lillian E. Austin, Medford; one son, Thomas E. Austin, Med ford; two sisters, Mrs. R. V. Ducy, Mission, Tex., and Mrs. A. E. Lawler, Brookfield, Mo.; one brother, the Rev. Thomas B. Austin, San Diego, Calif. Funeral services will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic church, 10th st. and Oakdale ave., at 9 a.m. Thursday. The Rev. N. J. Deis will officiate. Interment will be in Siskiyou Memorial park. Recitation of the Holy Rosary will be held at Perl Funeral home Wednesday t 8 pjn. city tax law that permits a six per cent increase in city taxes every year. City council man Fred Robinson commented that last year the six per cent increase in city taxes account ed for $50,000. He said this would leave a S30.000 increase, after the allotment to the off street parking fund. Otto Ewaldsen. president of the chamber, said since the it ems on the city budget are al lotted on a priority, basis, there should be few items on the city budget which rank higher than off-street parking problem. Arterial Streets Lovejoy said the chamber would favor the arterial street program "if the ratio of money bonded for arterial streets, and storm sewers a.id trunk sanitary sewers is matched on the same ratio of percentage of money al lotted annually for off-street parking." He said the arterial street program would not mean much if there was not a place to put the cars. One weakness of the com mittee, he said, was their fail ure to get the representation of doctors, lawyers and insur ance people located in the down town area. Many of them have indicated they are in favor of the committee's proposal, Love joy said. He added that presently there are about 800 parking places in the downtown area with meters, about 800 spaces without met ers, and about 800 spaces on the property of private establish ments. This totals to about 2.600 parking spaces in the downtown area, he said. By comparison, he said, the new Big 'Y' store alone has pro vided for approximately 650 parking spaces. The plan of the mayor's parking committee pro vided for about 1,600 addition al parking spaces, Lovejoy said. HOTEL THAT mm I TO THI BREAKFAST AND LUNCH 7 a.m. to 2 p-ra.
