This would per mit the city of Mefo'rd to annex that portion of Berrydale with out consent of the area's voters, he said. Piazza withdrew his objection after Mayor John Snider said it would not be the "present in tention" of the council to annex that portion to Medford if the larger Berrydale area was an nexed.

He noted that a recent county health survey pointed out that most residences in the Berry dale area were in violation of Oregon State Board of Health sanitation standards. He stated that throughout the Berrydale area erfluent and other wastes were existent near the surface of the ground and in open trenches creating a health hazard. Gier also quoted a letter from Dr. Harold Erickson, state of Oregon health officer, Portland, that unfavorable drainage sites in the Berrydale area often made septic tanks inoperable. Not Have Authority Gier said according to trie let ter the state board of health would not have the authority itself to order installation of a sanitary sewer system in the area and then assess benefiting property owners. Stock List In Moderate Trading New York U.R) Stocks moved irregularly today in mod erately active trading. A good gain in People's Gas helped carry the utilities to a new average high since May 25, 1931. Stees, aircrafts, metals and oils boasted a number of good gainers and few big losers, too. Railroad issues generally were firm. Dresser Industries hit a new peak and rang up a gain of bet ter than one at its high on a rec ord backlog of business. Nation al Supply was off almost two at its low but came back near the close. Lukens was the strong spot in the steels again, but Armco and Youngstown weak ened.

According to Gier this method would be more costly to Berry dale residents than sanitation through annexation. He concluded that the state board of health could be acti vated on the matter within 90 days if the annexation proposal was defeated. Dr. Erickson also said in his letter the most economical method of getting sanitation fa cilities in Berrydale would be through annexation, Gier noted.
