(Central at 13th) SmSt II South Central at Riverside Judge Dismisses Case; Presents Reasons for Move (Continued from Page 1) "The reasons for the court's opinions were: "(1) If legislature had in tended the statute to apply to irrigation districts they would have specifically mentioned them as they did in connec tion with school districts, "(2) Irrigation district act provides that a violation of this provision is a misde meanor, "(3) To make both acts ap plicable would mean that di rectors or other officers names in the irrigation district could be charged either by a felony or by a misdemeanor in the discretion of the district at torney, which would, if the two acts were combined, ren der the act unconstitutional." Ruling Concludes The ruling concluded that the "irrigation act is not ap plicable to employees and as the defendant is charged as an employee, the indictment does not state at crime under the irrigation act and the statute involved is not" applic able the court must sustain defendant's motion and dis miss the case." Following the dismissal Dis trict Attorney Thomas J. Reeder stated that the state would study the ruling before deciding if the case will be appealed. The law firm, Farrell and Blackhurst, represented the Eagle Point Irrigation dis trict, and the Roberts, Kell ington and Branchfield firm represented the interests of California Oregon Power company and Flury. Reeder presented the state's case in the trial. Civil suits involving the dis trict and Copco, ' brought by Mrs. Todd and other water users of the district, still are pending in circuit court.

UftTCI IICnCnDn IIUI CL MCUrUnlf Subdivider Suggests Practical Test for County Ordinance Bud Hoover, Camp White area farmer and subdivider, suggested to the Jackson county planning commission last night that the proposed subdivision ordinance be test ed on his 70-acre subdivision along Crater Lake highway. Hoover said he did not un derstand the proposed ordi nance, and the subdivision's variety of soil types, topog raphy and roads would give the proposed ordinance a thorough, practical test. The commission said it would consider the proposal at a later meeting. Coopera tion ' of county departments such as the health depart ment and engineering depart ment would be required, com missioners agreed. Attorney's Opinion . In its opinion on the gar bage ordinance, the district at torney's office said the coun ty is not an independent gov ernment unit Or corporation, but is a political agent of the state with its authority origi nating in state legislation. Such legislation does not in clude the necessity for such an ordinance as the garbage disposal ordinance, according to the opinion. Present state laws do not control location of garbage dumps as much as they do the operation of them. Only re striction on location is that they be a quarter of a mile from a dwelling or highway and not pollute streams or public water supply sources, the opinion stated. Such a proposal would mean indirect zoning and would not be valid unless it comes with development plan ning. Urges Action on Dump County Commissioner Ches ter Wendt, attending the meet ing, urged that something be done soon about the Jackson ville area garbage dump oper ated by the City Sanitary Service. A Jacksonville resi dent informed him by tele phone yesterday morning that the foggy weather had made the odor "terrific," the coun ty commissioner repeated. A letter was read from Stanley Jones, attorney for City Sanitary Service, sent about the time the dump was established. The land - fill method would be used. "No burning is contemplated at this time," ..'Jones stated in his letter. ". Such burning that is done will be in accordance with Over-the-Counfer Western Stocks The following bid and asked prices on selected Western securi ties, provided by the Medford branch office of Pacific Northwest Company are unofficial and do not represent actua1 transactions but are intended as a guide to the approximate price range.

Praises Members County Judge Miller praised both present and past members of the planning com mission last night. He wel comed the new members. "This is one of the most important tilings in the coun ty," he commented. "How ever, I would like to warn! you that planning without zoning will serve as a handi-' ran' Vnn will Vic nnntmntA 1 with many problems impos sible to solve. It is the general obligation of the court, how ever, not to interfere with the program." County Commissioner Wendt said he agreed with Stocks Reach Record Highs New York-OJPD-Stocks ad vanced sharply today to new record highs on increased vol ume. The industrial average set an all-time high and was with in about four points of the 600-mark, a figure that not long ago..seemed insurmount able. Railroads were at their best level since Aug 10, 1956, a year in which the railroad group came its colsest ever to matching the 1929 high that never has been surpassed. Railroad shares outranked all other groups in percentage rise. Their gains ranging to more than two points left many of the issues at new highs. Industrials were helped up ward by strength in metals, chemicals, oils, steels, tires and tobaccos. Meal or Snack . . . Come in and Eat Hearty Sandwiches Chili Lunches THE CLOCK Main at Bartlett Ph.
