Change in Ordinance
Sought for Churches
Medford's city planners rec
ommended to the city council
last night that the zoning ordi
nance be changed to permit
building of churches in single
family, two family and multiple
family residential districts.
lhe ordinance change speci
fies that churches would be per
mitted in residential areas only
if certain regulations are ob
served in construction. Among
provisions are a 1 to 6 parking
ratio, or one unit of parking for
each six units of seating capa
city, and a 20-foot property line
setback on any side of the

building in which there is
door or window.
The existing ordinance per
mits churches to be built only
in multiple family zones.
Prior to acting, on the ordi
nance change, the commission
held a public hearing on a peti
tion from the Rev. L. D. Kruse,
pastor of Bethel Assembly of
God church, for a change of
zone on property between Mc
Andrews and Biddle rds., where
the congregation proposes to
build a new church.
No Opposition
No opposition was voiced to
changing the zone from single
family to multiple family. How
ever, the commission denied the
petition on the basis that the
ordinance change pertaining to
church construction would, if
approved, authorize construc
tion of the church there without
necessitating a zone change.
The commission also recom
mended to the council that ap
proximately 30 acres of city
owned property at the county
fairgrounds be annexed to the
city. The property is located
west of Bear creek. The recom
mendation was requested by the
city council. The reason voiced
last night for he council's de
sire to annex the property was
that carnivals and other groups
can now set up concessions on
the property without being re
quired to obtain city licenses.

the mobs became mobs, they did
a lot of things which they re

Monday that "definitely organ

concentrated on smashing their
way into the secret embassy code
room. They said the attack com
