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

said, but for 1957-S8 it will be
S261.30 and 1667-63 the pay-
ment will be S213. 79. The water
commission has agreed to as-
sume the obligation.
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."

an ordinance requiring privately

Veterans groups involved in
the request were the local Amer

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

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

I was taken in expectation that

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. Ie ad-
ded, however, he did not know
what the attitude of the council
would be towards such
tiation.
