They also called for bids on the sewer project, to be opened Jan. 22. Following a second public hearing, the council approved Nick Gier's request for a change of zone from single family to light industrial for his property on North Pacific highway to permit a trailer park and trailer sales agency. Public Hearings Called Public hearings were called for Feb. 5 on a proposed wa ter main for Woodrow lane between Crater Lake ave. and Wabash ave. and on assess ments for the water main now being installed along Biddle rd. between the California Oregon Power company sub station and a point south of McAndrews rd. Another public hearing Feb. 5 was called to consider a zon ing ordinance amendment to permit and regulate signs to identify and advertise subdi visions. Councilmen approved leas ing the Avis U-Drive counter at Medford airport to Lyle Es tellee. Estelle, who has pur chased the U-Drive agency from Fred Wilcox, was also authorized by the council to operate an air taxi, charter and sales service at the coun ter. Request Location Estelle had previously re quested a separate location in the terminal building. He is to turn over to the city 10 per cent of the gross income of the U .Drive conces sion, or a minimum of $65 a month, and 3 per cent of the gross annual sales revenue from the taxi, charter and sal es agency.

Another element resulting in high bids, according to city hall sources, yesterady, was the installation of a pumping station. The council approved an amendment to the city's busi ness license ordinance setting the daily fee for professional stage shows at $20. The for mer rate, considered excessive by the council's executive committee, was $50. -' Also approved was Harry DeVore's application for a state auto wrecking yard li cense for his establishment on North Pacific highway. But Councilman Don Hansen (Ward II) asked Duff to write DeVore a letter informing him that the approval was tempor ary and the council expected to formulate a policy on wrecking yards this year. The other councilmen approved Hansen's request. Hansen reported that the executive committee was con tinuing studies of licensing and examining procedures for plumbers and a city policy for methods , of acquiring real property needed for rights of way. Extra-Width Driveway The council approved C. L. Williams' request for an extra-width driveway on South Riverside ave. at Barnett rd. for the bureau of land man agement's new office building which he is constructing. Duff pointed out that the driveway would facilitate traffic move ments. The council heard Duffs re port on the zoning variance request to permit the exist ence of substandard setbacks for the apartments at 825 East Ninth st., but took no action pending an agreement with the contractor, Watkins Con struction company, relative to roof drainage. The contractor is also to erect a four-foot cy clone fence along the side lot lines where the setbacks, cur rntly in violation of the city's zoning ordinance, exist. The council took no action on a proposed transfer of own ership and liquor license for Bell's Beverage store. It turned over to the plan ning commission two requests for street vacations.
