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. They included
two Medford firms, Trow
bridge and Flynn Electric
company .and M. C. Lininger
and Sons.
