Sanction Would
Pledge City's
Faith, Credit
The charter amendment to
be voted on by Medford citi
zens Wednesday would, if ap
proved at the polls, give the
city its first green light to
ward development of a muni
cipal off-street parking pro
gram. It would pledge, first of all,
the city's full faith and credit
behind the issuing of bonds
to finance off-street parking
facilities.
It would limit the total
principal amount of the bonds
to $500,000.
Next it would permit the
city council to pledge up to
25 per cent of the city's park
ing meter revenue toward
paying off these bonds.
Assessment District
It would authorize the es
tablishment of a special as
sessment district, revenue
from which would also con
tribute to paying off the
bonds. 1
It would authorize the city
to purchase, or lease for a
maximum of 50 years, a suit
able site or sites for off-street
parking facilities.
This charter amendment
would not in itself create a
bond issue, pledge the parking
meter revenue, establish the
assessment district or pur
chase or lease a site.
But it would enable the
city to proceed, via the pro
cedure of public hearings and
subsequent approval of ordi
nances, to carry out these
steps.
Public approval is neces
sary before general obligation
bonds can be issued.
City officials state that this
is the only type of bond that
can be readily sold. They base
this on consultation with those
who know the bond market.
These officials have assured
the public that there would
be no general tax levy to help
pay off the bonds unless an
extremely disastrous situation
should occur.
They have also, in effect,
committed themselves to the
course of action that would
follow the charter amend
ment's approval. -
They have agreed that the
off-street parking facility to
be provided would be located
so as to benefit the downtown
shopping area.
Immediate Consideration ,
They have taken up the
"Keeney Plan" for ' a self-
parking platform over the
Southern Pacific tracks as a
facility to be given immediate
consideration. This could be,
but would not necessarily
have to be, the facility even
tually chosen.
They have outlined tenta
tive boundaries for the down
town assessment district. Final
boundaries would be decided
upon following public hear
ings. ,
ine law provides tnat a
remonstrance filed by dissent
ers whose combined property
equals 60 per cent of the as
sessed valuation of the district
can effectively block the dis
trict's establishment.
Critics have suggested that
these steps-deciding on the
facility, setting up the district
-should come first. Officials
reply that public approval of
the program should precede
its working out. They point
out that much effort and time
might be. wasted if these steps
were to be taken only to have
voters refuse to authorize the
general obligation bonds.
Mayor Urges Approval
Mayor John W. Snider has
publicly urged approval of the
amendment. So, in a move re
garded as without precedent,
has the Medford city council.
The Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce has support
ed them, with an eye to the
"Keeney Plan" in particular.
A majority of downtown mer
chants and property owners,
it is understood, also favor
the program.
The Medford Safety coun
cil, in a resolution adopted
Nov. 11, has commended city
officials for their "wisdom
and foresight" in seeking a
solution to the problem.
Opposition has been voiced
by individuals, but no organ
ized opposition has been re
ported to date. The Mail Trib
une's communications column
has carried several letters
criticizing the city's action.

ates a private parking lot:

Bacteria Killer
Seen as Powerful
Medicinal Weapon
By DELOS SMITH
UPI Science Editor
New York (UPD A bacteria-killer
which maintains
itself much longer in the
human blood
stream than
any other
promises to
give medical
science a
powerful new
weapon
against bac
teria - caused
illnesses.
Deioi smith Its remark
able staying power in the
blood stream has just been
proved in a Harvard Medical
School laboratory by Drs.
Calvin M. Kuin and Maxwell
Finland.
For maximum curative ef
fect you want to maintain a
bacteria-killer in the blood
stream in the smallest effec
tive dose for as long as pos
sible. Otherwise you knock
off too many of the good bac
teria the body needs, t
The remaining question
about the new bacteria-killer
is whether it kills enough
kinds of sickness-causing bac
teria to make it a more use
ful weapon than the killers
now in general use.
You can assume it does be
cause it is a close relative of
the "broad-spectrum" antibi
otics, the tetracyclines, which
are two-edged swords because
they kill the good and bad
bacteria with equal zeal.
Reproductive Quirk
The new antibiotic stems
from a ' reproductive quick in
the fungus which, merely by
living, produces broad-spectrum
bacteria killers. The
quirk was in its hereditary
genei They changed or mu
tated and the result was a
chemically changed fungus
which makes the new killer.
Its chemical name is almost
as long as your arm. For short,
it is called dmct.
Kunin and Finland tested
its staying powers in the
blood stream in this way:
They-dosed eight young men
with the new killer and the

Hatfield Speaks
Gov.-elect Mark Hatfield
spoke to the organization at a
dinner late Saturday and out
lined a program for "revital

The delegates opposed the
Portland General Electric
company's plan to build a
dam on the Deschutes river
12 miles above their .present
Pelton dam because it would
destroy the beauty of Cove
State park.
"The "right-to-work" law
proposition was decisively re
jected by the group. Hatfield
said in his dinner speech that
the Republican party should
concentrate on good relations
wun laoor because 40 per
cent of labor is Republican by
registration.

best of the old killers (from
the . viewpoint of staying
power). The antibiotics were
given in pill form and the
doses of the new and the old
were always the same.
Blood was drawn from the
young men at various inter
vals after they had taken the
pills and the ability of these
blood samples to kill three
varieties of bacteria was most
scientifically measured by
test-tube techniques. .
Superior Activity
"The superiority of the ac
tivity of dmct is all the more
impressive because the study
on repeated doses was carried
out under normal dietary
conditions and was otherwise
carefully controlled for com
parability of the conditions,
and the differences were uni
form, striking and statistical
ly highly significant," the
scientists reported.
What this means is that the
new antibotic may be given in
smaller and less frequent
doses to get the same bacteria-killing
effect as the old
er antibiotics. That would
make it much less of a two
edged; it could remove the
harmful edge altogether.
But there must be further
study, the scientists said in
reporting to the New England
Journal of Medicine. They
want to know especially if it
kills as many kinds of sick
ening bacteria as its parents,
the tetracyclines. Dmct comes
from the Lederle Labora
tories, Pearl River, N.Y.,
which had much to do with
developing spectrum antibiotics.
