8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, April 3, 1959 Council Discusses Possible Sewer for Eastover Terrace Possible installation of a sanitary sewer for Eastover terrace despite present objec tions to the cost from a ma jority of property owners was discussed at last night's city council meeting. City Manager Robert A. Duff told the council that the sanitation situation on East over terrace is "serious" with raw sewage running in the ditches. The council March 19 ap proved awarding a contract for the sewer to R. A. Heintz Construction company, sub ject to the property owners' concurrence. Duff reported last night that a majority of the 11 property owners in volved objected. The Heintz bid, while the lowest, was con siderably above the engineer's estimate. Object To Bid The property owners while anxious for a sewer, had ob jected previously to accepting an excessive low bid on a dif ferent set of plans. Duff said the estimated cost per lot with the Heintz bid would be $1,077. The unit cost from the low bid on the earlier plans would have been about $1,243, he said. He told the councilmen that since no other alternatives were possible, they could authorize signing the contract Senate Tables Two Measures Salem -(UPD- Two Senate bills introduced by Sen. Dwight Hopkins (D-Imbler) have been tabled by the Sen ate Committee on Commerce and Utilities. One was Senate bill 107 which would have provided that no person could be ap pointed to the Port of Port land Commission if he owned or was employed in any transportation, shipping, stor age or towing business. The other bill had the same provisions but applied to all port districts in the state. The Senate passed a bill to permit the State Highway Department to appoint a di rector of recreation to study and develop recreation facili ties in Oregon. A bill to permit the use of Nalline? an opium derivitive, for treatment of narcotics ad dicta was approved. Climate of Panama varies from dry and open country on the Pacific side to the steam ing jungles near the Atlantic with a wide temperature range. with' Heintz as a matter of public health and safety. The councilmen, realizing this would be as Councilman Donald Hansen, Ward II, put it "a very weighty step," agreed to inspect the site and meet with the property own ers before making a decision. Duff was to arrange the visit this week end if possible. Carl Brophy, Medford attor ney speaking in behalf of one property owner, voiced an ob jection to assessing Eastover terrace residents on the basis of lots rather than dwellings. Duff replied that the council could determine the method of assessment as it saw fit in relation to benefit. The basis, he explained, could be deter mined at a later date. In other action, the council awarded contracts to low bid ders for the paving of East Jackson st. from Bear creek to GC-nessee st. and for the paving and installation of curbs and gutters for Colum bus ave. from West Jackson st. to McAndrews rd. The East Jackson st. con tract went to Tru-Mix Con crete company, which bid $25,254.85. For Columbus ave., Rogue River Paving com pany was awarded the paving contract at $3,465 and Pet rehn and Purdy is to install the curbs and gutters on a bid of $2,603. Approve Recommendation The councilmen approved Duff's recommendation that the sanitary sewer for Spen cer ave. and a stretch of South Riverside ave. down to Stew art ave. be financed by the usual method of assessing benefiting properties on a combined acreage and front footage basis. The assessment rates for the $27,175 project, as reported to the council last night, would be $135 per acre and $2.35 per front foot. Two property acquisitions, one of a $650 lot from William A. Hoskins for the projection of 10th st. and the other a site for the Berrydale sewer pumping station to be pur chased from John R. Creel for $1,250, gained council ap proval. The council authorized and approved plans and specifica tions for construction, of a storm sewer system for Keene Way dr. from Oregon ave. to Stratford way and for Oregon ave. from Keene Way to Berk eley way. Cost of the project is estimated at $5,000. Also approved were plans and specifications for paving streets and installing sanitary sewers in the Blossom Hill Terrace Unit No. 1 subdi vision, situated at Crater Lake ave. and Buckshot Hill rd.

Neuberger Urges Rebate of Federal Taxes To States Salem-ttJPD-Federal tax re funds to states large and small throughout the nation have been advocated by Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) at a news conference here. Such tax rebates, he said, were necessary to relieve the fiscal problems which he said virtually every state in the union is now facing. His idea of the federal gov ernment rebates, he explained, would be based on the amount of federal taxes collected in each state plus an equaliza tion feature that would take into account the money de rived in the large manufac turing centers of the nation. Tax Hike a Must Neubeger said federal taxes must be increased to meet the obligations of the free world. But he added that many states cannot survive unless they are given some financial aid from the federal government. "I am not too familiar with the fiscal problems facing the Oregon Legislature," he said, "but it would be my guess that they are shaking every piggy bank they can get hold of to find the necessary money to carry on state service," he said. The Oregon senator said he was advocating renenactment of the federal excise tax. He said that only a few weeks ago the military draft was ex tended for four years and that profit of munition makers was higher than it was during the Korean conflict. They now escape the tax. Postal Rates Mentioned The Oregon senator also said he would introduce a bill in Congress to cut the deple tion allowance to oil compan ies from its present 27 per cent rate to 15 per cent. "There are no depletion al lowances given teachers who lose their eyesight or doctors who become ill or any other category of workers who be come disabled," he said. He also would allow the Postal Department to set its own mail rates and he advo cated -an increase in the fed eral gas tax from its present 3 cents a gallon to 4A cents.
