The Medford city council
last night continued a public
hearing on the Kenwood
Grandview sanitary sewer sys
tern district. Residents crowd
ed the council chambers and
hallway outside the chambers
at the hearing.
Mayor John Snider suggest
ed the hearing be 'continued
and held in a location where
property owners concerned
may assemble and hear argu
ments for and against the sys
tem. Many persons, forced to
remain in the hallway outside
the council chambers could
not hear questions and an
swers inside the chamber
The time, date and place
for the hearing will be an
nounced as soon as arrange
ments with city officials and
a location are complete.
Express Objections
Several property owners
last night expressed objections
to the sewer system, most of
them based on the cost.
Preliminary estimated costs
in the Kenwood-urandview
district is $101 per acre or a
minimum of $41 per lot or
tract of less than 17,000 square
feet for the trunk sewer as
sessment.
An additional rate of $2.35
per front foot will be assessed
properties abutting the pro
posed sewer line. The latter
cost is the assessment for the
lateral to serve the resi
dences.
Several property owners ex
pressed belief that the trunk
sewer district assessment,
which is distributed over the
entire acreage, would work a
hardship on large property
Owners.
Xaviaed ia Discuss Problem
Mayor Snider invited any
resident of the Kenwood-
Grandview area to consult city
administrators and discuss
their individual problems with
them for a clearer understand
ing of the proposal. He also in
vited residents to attend the
special meeting, at which , the
hearing will be continued at
a location to accommodate the
people.
The council called for bids
on the proposed sewer, but
pointed out that bids do not
have to be accepted if the sani
tary sewer proposal is not ap
proved by the. council.
Bids also were called for in
stallation of the Laurelhurst
district sanitary sewer system
Dates for both bid openings
will be announced later.
Oejaetieac Voiced
Some residents of the Lau
relhurst district voiced objec
tioa to the system, question
ing whether property, which
cannot be served by the trunk
line ahould be assessed. City
Manager Robert Duff noted
that there is little if any prop-
arty in the district which can
not in the future be served
by laterals.
Preliminary estimated costs
for the Laurelhurst trunk line
system is $175 per acre or a
minimum of $71 per platted

Adopted by City

A policy on providing a Jow

will include a prime coat, and

ford city council last night.
The surfacing will be pro-

the resolution to provide ade
quate base for the surfacing if
an adequate base is not pres

Property owners desiring
low-cost surfacing may apply
to City Manager Robert Duff.
An estimate of the total cost
of surfacing, including inter
sections, will be prepared and
furnished property owners. In-
eluded in the estimate will be
the cost of driveway culverts
and drainage ditches required.
Deposit in Fund
Property owners will then
collect and deposit with the
city an amount equal to the
estimate which will be placed
in a special deposit fund for
the surfacing. The city, accord-
ing to the adopted policy, will
not be responsible for the ap-

Council Committee
To Consider.Charige
A request from City Sani
tary Service company, Med
ford, for an increase in gar
bage collection charges was
referred to the executive com
mittee by . the Medford city
council last night.
The company has requested
an increase from $1.75 to
$2.25 per month. :
Charles W. Bottjer and An
thony J. Boitano, partners in
the company, said in a letter
to Mayor John. Snider and the
council that "the additional
costs of operation of garbage
collection service for residen
tial service . . . make it neces
sary for us to change the
rate."'
They pointed out the com
pany has attempted to main
tain the lowest possible rate
consistent with satisfactory
service. The company's rate,
they noted, is and has been
among the lowest in cities in
the state. The new rate' still
would be among the lowest in
the state for twice a Week
service, they said.
Service Necessary ..V .
The company now operates
the only twice a week serv
ice in Oregon, they said, and
added that they feel twice a
week service is necessary to
maintain sanitary and clean
conditions.
"However," the said, "with
the rate currently charged we
have been completely unable
to maintain our wage salaries
comparable with . competing
businesses, " or with union
scale. Prior to Aug. 1, we
are moving our main damp
ground to a new location sev
en miles from the city of
Medford, ; where we will be
using the burn and sanitary
fill method, which will addi
tionally increase our costs."
In submitting a financial
statement,, they pointed out
that during April, "the profit
to the partnership was the
sum of $94.24. This is before
any income to the partners."

Five Amendments
Turned To Defeat
Washington (UPI) The
Senate passed a $1.8 billion
corporate and excige tax ex
tension bill today. It violates
President Eisenhower's no-tax-cut
policy by repealing
transportation levies. .
The bill was : sent to . a

Final Senate action came
after five amendments to kill

The extension of present 52
per cent corporate rates and
of the existing rates on liquor,
beer, automobiles and certain
other excise items is effective

would drop. .
Before the- final vote, the
Senate rejected by a 43 to 32

Paul Douglas (D-Ill.) to repeal
