o 14A fcglL TRIBUNE, Mdferd, Oregon, Sunday, Jrfy . 1938 Meter Relocation Approved by Council A recommendation to estab lish bumper-to-bumper park ing and relocate parking meters on Main and Eighth sts., presented by City Mana ger Robert A. Duff, was ap proved by the Medf ord city council Thursday. Duff described bumper-to- bumper parking as pairs of 18-foot spaces in which two cars would park close to gether with an eight-foot ma neuvering space ahead of each pair. He said it would cause less traffic delay from mo torists attempting to park. Relocation of meters on Main and Eighth sts., he said, is necessary for inauguration of one-way traffic on the streets, tentatively set for Au gust 10; and parking meters were presently located too close to intersections, in viola tion of Oregon statute. The city was thus vulnerable to damage claims in case im paired views caused by cars parked at these meters con tributed to accidents. Offset by Eighlh St. Duff assured the council that any apparent loss of parking space created by the changes would be more than offset by additional space on Eighth st. He recommended that relo cation of meters be accom plished immediately on the north side of Main st. and the south side of Eighth st.p anf? after one-way traffic starts on the other sides of the two streets. Action to gain Medford a new rating for insurance pur poses was initiated when tht council authorized Duff to ask the Oregon Insurance Rating bureau to regrade the city. Duff estimated it might be six months before a survey team would appear, however. Rating Established o In his report to the coun cil, Duff stated that the last survey was conducted in the early 1930 s, at which time a Class 5 rating was established. He added that while the city's rapid postwar growth had taxed capacities of the fire and water departments tem porarily, he believed they could now receive 'good ratings. The council also adopted an ordinance rezoning certain property on East Ninth st. be tween Cottage st. and Port land ave. from class IB, single and two . family, to class II, multiple family. It approved budget item transfers 'totaling 52,295.14 for the 1957-58 year. Seek Permit The council authorized the mayor to request from the state highway commission a permit to construct a sanitary sewer line within and across the Crater Lake highway right of way. The line would be a portion of the Kenwood Grandview sewer system. It approved a c6rrection deed by which the city re leased to the state a strip of land 2.85 feet by 55.7 feet in the South Sea addition which had.been omitted in error in a previous transaction. tl approved bidder's pre qualifications from six con tractors for bidding on muni cipal projects.
