SI City Council Authorize Paving Three Streets ine AlPdford city council last, night, following public hearings, voted to pave three city streets, and called a public hearing for June 20 to consider paving a fourth street. i Streets ordered paved were South Front St., from 12th St., south to the end of the existing pavement, Lynman ave., from Uillcrest rd.. to Schcffel ave.. and Newtown st , from Stewart ave. to the north line of Belmont tt. Hearing Deferred A hearing on the paving of Newtown st. was deferred last month for further study when a property owner on the street near Belmout st. requested the r-ity extend the paving about 20 feet to include his property. The council's action extended the paving the requested distance. Later the council called bids for paving of the three streets and for paving two other streets. Thry are South Grape st. be tween Stewart and Melrose aves. and Rose ave. from Penn svlvania ave. 'o Fourth st. The bids will be opened June 17. A public hearing was called June 20 to consider paving Ma ne st. from Saling ave. to Jack son st. In the meantime, the city manager was directed to prepare plans and specifications on the project. Other Busineu In other business, the council adopted an ordinance rezoning from class IA (single family) to c!a?s V (light industrial) an area along the east side of Crater Lake highway, extending south of Delta Waters rd. about 1,600 feet. Th area rezoned is part of the Kenwood - Crandview dis trict annexed to the city last fall. The change of rone was recom mended by the planning com mission last month. The council also authorized payment from a water bond sinking fund sufficient to pay' the city's proportion of the Kings Highway Water district debt jervice of district areas that have been annexed to the city. The cily'i total proportionate hare of the water district obli gation is S2.624.87. which will te paid over an 11-year period, according to City Manager Rob ert Duff.

An amendment to the recentlv adopted parking meter ordin ance was passed, omitting a phrase that introduced a "tech nical ambiguity" into the ordin ance. Explains Ordinance According to City Attorney E. R. Bashaw the present ordinance provides that the registered owner of a vehicle is presumed to be the operator who parked it in violation of the regulations, but that presumption can be re butted by the defendant with evidence as to who actually was the operator at the time. The amendment deletes the phrase "by the defendant" there by giving the city also the right to rebut the presumption and show who the actual violator was. Bashaw said. The council also released two water pipe line easements to Medford residents. Duff said since the pine lines have been abandoned the city has no fur ther interest in them. Easement Released An easement for a water line issued in 1915 for a wood pipe line and abandoned by the city in 1949 was release to Mr. and Mrs. Roy F. Martin, 228 Saginaw drive, Medford. An easement provided for a wood stave pipe line, also aban doned by the city, was released to Mr. and Mrs. Garner T. Haup ert. 222 Valley View drive, Med ford. The pipe line is located near Capital ave. between Sun rise ave. and Valley View dr. Assessment ordinances were established for a water main on South Grape st. between Stew art and Melrose aves., and the paving of Murray st. from Col umbus ave. along Murray st. to where the street is already paved. Cost of installation of the wa ter main on South Grape st. was $2.44 per front foot and the engineer's estimate was S2.54 per front foot. Paving of Murray st. cost S10. 74 per front foot and the engi neer's estimate was S8.50 per front foot. The additional cost was due to unforeseen mud pockets which had to be excavat ed and replaced with gravel. Duff said. Two proprrty owners are involved -in the improve ment. The coum il adoptrd an ordin ance accepting the two projects as complete. Also accepted as complete was the sanitary sew er for the new National Guard armory, by M. C. Lininger and Sons Construction company, Medford. The S4.886.55 sewer is being paid for by state funds. Funds Established Two improvement district funds were established. They are South Grape st. water main fund No. 3 and South Grape st. sewer fund No. 1.

The council renewed a one year permit to the Pinnacle Packing company, Medford, to continue the company's installa tion of an overhead pipe line across East 12th St., at the dead end near the railroad tracks. The pipe line is about 20 feet above the ground and has not interfered with the public, ac cording to city officials. An ordinance also was adopt ed qualifying the Hughes and Dodd Construction company to bid on city projects. Duff read a report on a sani- tation survey in the area near Franquette st. and South Pacific highway. The survey, taken by One Moore and Charles Clark. Jackson county health depart ment sanitarians, noted that "While no effluent was found on the surface of the ground, it seems that a public sewer sys tem would greatly benefit the area surveyed."

The request was mede by Pat Snider also noted that the Graham, secretary of both the council has a policy against us Veterans Allied council and a ;ing city funds for contributions committee of three local veter- lans groups who each summer sponsor a carnival at the county fairgrounds. Veterans groups involved in the request were the local Amer ican legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans. Proposed Annexation In previous years the city, which owns the property, has not charged a rental to the vet erans groups for using the land. This year, however, the fair grounds area, totaling about 21 i acres, is proposed to be annexed I tn the citv. whirh would make 'it subject to the city's rental ! fee policy. I A public hearing on the an- nexation proposal was called for June 27. According to a con tract the veteran's groups have with West Coast Shows, Inc.. a California firm which supplies concessions for the carnival, the carnival would be held July 6- 13. Graham told the council West Coast Shows pays the veteran's groups 122 per cent of all pro ceeds it takes in during the week-long carnival.

If the area is in the j city. Mayor John Snider said the city would either have to j amend or repeal its ordinance to charities and other organiza tions. He said that if the city waived its right to the rental fee, the waiver would constitute a donation of public "funds. The matter was brought to a vote when Councilman Stanley Jones said the carnival each year takes over 510,000 out of the community, much of which is through gambling booths. "This is too big a price for the community to pay," Jones said, "which causes the community more harm than it does good to the veteran's organizations. If the area is not annexed Snider said, the veteran's erouns would be free to negotiate with the city on a rental fee.

Dan is continualyl conscious of several nettling problems that he and other midgets have to cope with. Back in April he and some 30 other citizens of abbreviated stature gathered at Reno and started an effort to remove, or at least alle viate, these problems. Few Aims So now Dan is president-elect of the Little People, a group ded icated to such aims as getting half fare for midgets in public transportation, getting reduced food prices in restaurants and provision of public facilities scaled to their size.
