Civic Leaders Reply to Critics
Of Off-Street Parking Measure
Two Medford civic leaders
fired separate replies yester
day at critics of the municipal
off-street parking measure to
be voted on here tomorrow.
"There will always be
those," Dr. D. Kirkland West,
chairman of the mayor's ad
visory committee on off-street
parking said, "who, for some
'special interest' or other rea
son real or imagined seek
to oppose any measure of real
significance or purpose for
the betterment of our city,
"They will detract and con
demn - they will cast doubt
and suspicion! In so doing,
he said in his prepared state
ment, "they do a great dis
service to all of us."
Appear at Roundlable
Otto Ewaldsen, appearing
at the Jackson County Cham
ber of Commerce weekly
roundtable, answered an ob
servation from Fred W. Con
rad that some people were
suspicious because the meas
ure was appearing in a special
election. Conrad said there
was fear in some quarters
that "special interests" were
behind it
"There is no special inter
est involved in this election,"
Ewaldsen replied emphatically-
Ewaldsen, (another advisory
committee member), also
stated that businesses with
their own off - street parking
facilities generally favored
the measure.
"Anyone who says parking
lot operators are against it,"
he said, "is speaking probably
of one person." x
Parking Lot Operator
He was evidently referring
to George Goodman, a down
town parking lot operator
who has stated his opposition
to the measure on the radio.
Ewaldsen, like other pro
ponents of the measure, em
phasized that it was permis
sive legislation." the main
point is amendment of the
charter to permit the issuance
of general obligation bonds
to finance acquisition, con
struction and operation of off
street parking facilities, he
pointed out.
Bond market authorities
have assured city officials
that this type of bond, backed
by the full faith and credit of
the city, would be the only
type that could readily be
sold.
Outlines Steps
Ewaldsen outlined the steps
that would follow approval
of the charter amendment.
The next action, he said,
would be proposing the spe
cial assessment district for
properties to be benefited
After public hearings, the city
council would establish the
district by ordinance.
Then, proposed parking fa
cilities would be studied, with
a special eye to cost figures,
Once a facility was agreed up
on, and the costs ascertained,
general obligation bonds
would be issued in the neces
sary amount but not to ex
ceed $500,000.
The bonds would be paid
off," in a maximum of 20 years
by a combination of revenue
from the facilities themselves,
up to 25 per cent of parking
meter revenue and special as
sessments on property in the
benefited district.
Property Assessed
This property, it is antici
pated, would be assessed in
varying degrees depending on
the degree of benefit.'"
Ewaldsen pointed out that
parking lot operators in the
vicinity of a large municipal
facility could expect to bene
fit through increased value of
their property.
"If a man operates a park
ing lot and someone puts up a
400-car lot next to it," he
said, "his property value will
be increased." He said he
based this on the fact that the
property could subsequently
by used for other purposes,
such as erection of a building.
He said failure to provide
adequate off - street parking
could result in declining pro
perty values downtown.
Charier Amended
"Many, many years ago,"
Dr.' West stated, "there was
no provision in city charters
for the control or regulation
of certain types of water,
street or sewer districts. As
the necessity for some orderly
regulation of these new de
velopments became evident -
the charter was amended by a
vote of the people to correct
this situation.
"We are .faced with a simi
lar situation now. Our Med
ford city charter does not
carry a provision for the regu
lation of off-street parking
because in the 'horse and
buggy' days when the charter
was drafted there was no
need for such a provision
Today there is a definite need
for such an amendment
"We can no longer hide the
problem. We can no longer
close our eyes and hope that
the cars will disappear and
the parking confusion be
solved. Instead, we must build
the framework for a program
of orderly regulation and di
rection to this area of civic
planning."
Both men pointed out that
the ballot measure is not a
general tax levy.

Hatfield Says Republicans
Must Get Out of Headquarters
Honolulu (DPD Governor-
elect Mark Hatfield of Ore
gon said Monday night Re
publicans must "get out of
headquarters and out among
the people" if they expect to
win elections from the Demo
crats. Hatfield, speaking informal
ly at a gathering of prominent
Matson Sells
Honolulu Hotels
San Francisco -(DPD- Matson
Navigation company an
nounced today the sale of its
four big Honolulu hotels to
the Sheraton Corp. of America
for $18 million.
The hotels are the Royal
Hawaiian, Princess Kaiulani,
Moana and Surfrider, all of
which are on Waikiki Beach.
They have a total of 1,056
rooms.
Matson may exercise its op
tion to conclude the sale at
some time after the next four
months but within a year.
Matson President Randolph
Sevier said that an agreement
will be made in the next few
weeks for Sheraton to operate
the hotels on a management
fee basis until the sale is com
pleted. When the sale is completed,
Sevier said, arrangements will
be worked out for the transfer
of Matson's hotel personnel to
the Sheraton organization.
About 1,000 workers are in
volved. "Consumation of this con
tract will allow the company
to concentrate more fully on
its passenger and freight oper
ations to Hawaii and other
areas in the Pacific, and in
crease the opportunity for
local Republican and commu
nity leaders, said he attribut
ed his success to the fact "we
broke out of the hallowed
halls of the Republican party
-we went out to meet the
people."
Personal Application
Instead of attending the ral
lies set up by his party, Hat
field said "we spent our time
handshaking at saw mills. My
wife was at supermarkets do
ing the same. I think it was
the personal application."
Hatfield arrived Monday
by plane to attend the West
ern Republican Conference.
He was one of the few Re
publicans in the nation to
defeat a Democrat incumbent.
He has been asked to tell the
conference about his system
this Thursday.
Hatfield said that Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
telephoned him after the elec
tion to congratulate him.
"He told me the most
stupid blunder Republicans
made was to embrace the
right to work legislation,"
Hatfield said. "I agree with
Mr. Nixon on that."

Happy Stitchers
The Happy Stitchers sew
ing club held its second meet
ing Dec. 6, at the home of our
leader, Mrs. Becker. '
After the business meeting
we worked on our needle
cases, which we had started
at the first meeting. We
learned the blanket stitch
with which we finished our
needle cases.
The girls compared sewing
boxes which they had cov
ered. Our next meeting will
be held during the Christmas
Holidays.
Cherylee Becker, Reporter
Hatfield said the trend is
away from Republican con
servatism of the past. "I
think we had definite mill
stones around our neck in the
past election in the way of
candidates," he said.
Asked to name names, he
paused and then stuck his
chin out: '
"There was Bricker (of
Ohio), Malone (of Nevada)
and there was Knowland (of
California)-frankly I don't
think he was one of pur great
est selections.
