Surplus Fund Investments Are
Approved by Medford Council
The city recorder-treasurer
was authorized by the city
council last night to invest
surplus funds in time deposit
accounts for not more than
120 days.
The money formerly was
invested in 60 and 90-day
treasury certificates, but . in
terest yield on them fell be
low the local bank interest
rates, according to officials.
The action permits the treas
urer to invest in either,
whichever is paying the great- j
est interest.
Plans arid specifications for
construction of a sanitary
sewer in the North Laurel
hurst area were approved.
The section, which is near
Biddle and McAndrews rds.,
will separate the area from
the Kenwood-Grandview dis
trict, providing separate im
provement . districts.
Agreement Approved
An agreement with Cali
fornia Oregon Power com
pany was approved permitting
the city to use power poles
for traffic signal light sup
ports for a five-year period.
An amendment to the traf
fic code requiring drivers to
maintain a proper lookout
was defeated. The measure
was carried over from Feb.
6 when it failed to pass by
a two-thirds vote.
Several -segregation of as
sessment ordinances were ap
proved for sanitary sewers.
The segregations were neces
fary by property ownership
changes.
Grant Lease
The council granted the
Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints a lease on
a warehouse on Bullock rd.
near the airport. The church
will pay $40 per month rent.
Manufacturing fruit box lum
ber is planned by the church.
Installation of a second
courtesy mail box at the rear
of the Holly building, Sixth
and Holly sts., was approved,
as was the removal of two
parking meters for the box.
Three meters in front of the
building were made five
minute zones between 5 and
6 p.m. in an attempt to pro
vide additional parking near
the post office during rush
hours.
Action on a suggestion to
limit parking on Monroe st.,
between Whitman and Oak
dale aves., was postponed un
til the March 6 meeting. The
area is next to the high school
and councilmen wanted more
time to study the proposal.
Bus Zone
The council approved a
bus zone on the east side of
Holly st., south of the 11th
st. intersection. The zone will
permit school buses to park
at the location.
The change in the traffic
light on Main st. at Lindley
ave. was approved. The light's
red cycle is set to blink. The
signal will operate normal
during other hours. Drivers
are permitted to proceed
through the intersection on
the flashing red light if they
yield the right-of-way, city of
ficials said.
A report of speed of ve
hicles on Stewart ave. was
postponed for further study
by the city engineering de
partment. The council re
quested the report.
Parking Zone
A request for a 15-minute
parking zone in front of Pa
cific Seed and Feed company,
Fourth and Front sts., was
approved on a temporary
basis. Councilmen expect a
complete report by the plan
ning commission on parking
in the downtown area before
giving final approval, offi
cials said.
Action on the request of
L. P. Older for a zone change
request to limited commercial
in the Crater Lake highway
and Delta Waters rd. area
land-use study of the area is
complete. The study is expect
ed in about 60 to 90 days,
according to officials.
The council accepted the
recommendation of the plan
ning coinmission that the
dedication of Elk st. be ap
proved. The street will be 45
feet wide, which does not
meet the city requirement of
60 feet. Considerable expense
would be required to pur
chase right-of-way and mov
ing homes for a standard
street, according to the plan
ning commission.
The council authorized the
city engineering department
to prepare preliminary plans
and specifications for extend
ing Melrose ave. from Holly
st. across the Southern Pa
cific right-of-way to connect
with Barnett rd. at South
Pacific highway. The council
felt construction of the new
hospital would require the

Giant Ticket
Sales Not Up
To Expectations
By HAL WOOD
San Francisco HP) The
gold mine that the Giants
hoped to work when they
came to San Francisco, it now
appears, is going to take a lot
of "sluicing."
"Our advance ticket sales
haven't lived up to expecta
tions," Peter Hoffman, Giant
ticket manager, said today.
"We have a little stadium
and I thought there would be
a mad rush to get season tick
ets to assure a seat, but it
hasn't worked out that way.
"So far, our advance sea
son ticket sale totals only
2,940 that's what we can
guarantee for each game this
year. That doesn't look like
much compared with, the
7,500 they are talking about
for the Dodgers in Los An
geles." Only One Sellout
The only game that is sold
out is the first one when the
opening day crowd on April
15 mill come near to bursting
the walls at Seals Stadium.
Hoffman isn't discouraged.
He figures that when baseball
starts hitting the headlines
and interest in winter sports
wears off that the fans will
turn their attention to base
ball and start making their
purchases.

4,200-foot span which carries
six lanes of roadway and two
footwalks on a 90-foot deck,

The highest suspension

To Help Economy
Thomasville, Ga. (IP)
The nation's economy ii
basically vigorous and will
bounce upward again if we
maintain a "tough-minded

the only thing that could
plunge this country into a
critical and sustained eco
nomic slump, ' the President
said in a telegram to Gov.
Averell Harriman of New

governors wired their views
on the economic situation to
Eisenhower on Feb. 13.

Beck's Lawyer Planning Appeal
Seattle (IP! The defense
attorney for deposed Team
ster leader Dave Beck said
today he planned an im
mediate appeal of Beck's sen
tence on an " embezzling
charge.
Beck was sentenced to a
maximum of 15 years Thurs
day for embezzling $1,900 ob
tained from the sale of a
Teamster-owned Cadillac.
The prosecuting attorney
recommended that the State
Board of Prison Terms and
Paroles set the elder Beck's
minimum sentence at three
years.
Charles S. Burdell, Beck's
defense attorney, said the con
viction will be appealed to
the State Supreme Court "as
soon as possible."
Judge George H. Revelle
passed sentence on Beck about
an hour after Dave Beck Jr.,
was placed on probation for
three years, also for em
bezzling union funds. He was
convicted of pocketing $4,659
received from the sale of two
Teamster-owned Cadillacs.
The younger Beck received
a deferred sentence with a
three-year probation term,
was fined $2,000 and ordered
to return the $4,650 he was
convicted of embezzling.
