Proposed Arterial! Street
Projects Stated This Year
Proposed arterial street,
sanitary sewer and storm sew
er projects for Medford dur
ing the 1959-60 fiscal year
were outlined for the city
budget committee Friday
night by City Manager Gor
don A. Duff.
Duff, explained that each
project would be subject to
approval by the city council.
He noted that they would be
financed by continuing prop
erty tax levies previously ap
proved by residents. Addi
tional capital for the arterial
street program could be de
rived from sale of bonds as
well.
Three bridges across Bear
creek, and a sanitary sewer
age currently flowing into the
creek at Main St., are among
major items proposed.
Project Approved .
The Eighth st. bridge is one
project already approved by
the council. Bids on the bridge
are to be-,opened Tuesday at
Salem by the state highway
department. The project also
includes sections of paved

street from South Riverside
ave. to the bridge and from
the bridge to East Main st.
A second bridge would be
included in the extension of
10th st. east from South Riv
erside ave. across the creek
to Willamette ave. Its con
struction his year is urged
in a 204 - signature petition
presented to the city council
Thursday night.
Duff added that Siskiyou
blvd., an east-west artery to
which 10th st. will ultimately
be linked, is to be extended
by the city along the south
line of the IOOF cemetery
this year with state tax street
funds. :
Third Bridge
The third bridge proposed
would be in connection with
extending Fourth st. east from
North Riverside ave. across
the creek to meet East Jack
son st. near Biddle rd.
These extensions across
Bear creek, city officials ex
plain, are expected to, relieve
traffic congestion along Riv
erside ave. and across the
present bridges at Main and
Jackson sts.
A proposed step for 1959
60 that would lead later to
another north - south link
across the creek is the estab
lishment of a "minimum road"
to extend Willamette ave.
south from the Earhart Park
subdivision to Barnett rd. No
immediate bridge construc
tion would be involved, but
city officials believe the es
tablishment of this roadway
would prevent the state high
way department from pos
sibly blocking the route -in
constructing the Highway 99
freeway along Bear creek.

The sewer at the Main st.
bridge would supplant a sep

Mental Health Fund
Drive Set Monday
The success of the Medford
Mental Health campaign will
largely depend on the door-to-door
Bell Ringers March Mon:
day night, May 25, according
to Lawrence G. Shaw, Port
land State campaign chair
man. A successful Mental Health
campaign will assure ade
quate financing for the re
search, education and service
program of the Mental Health
Association of Oregon,, he
said.
"We must not forget that
mental illness is the number
one health problem. When we
know that four out of nine
hospital beds in Oregon are
occupied by the mentally ill,
it illustrates the need for ex
panding mental health facili
ties, services and a research
program that will strike at the
roots of mental illness," Shaw
said.
Mrs. Rita B. Shogren," 1705
South Columbus ave., is in
charge of the door-to-door
Bell Ringers March in Med
ford. She said she expects ap
proximately 250 women to
participate in the march from
6 to 8 pjn. A few areas are
still without volunteers and
anyone interested in partici
pating will call her at SPring
3-2335. . , ,
tic tank that currently, ac
cording to Duff, empties mto
the creek. "It's a bad situation
and should be corrected,"
Duff commented. He explain
ed that the septic tank serves
the Walker building and oth
er properties along Main st.
to the west.
Duff said an expenditure
of $5,000 from city sewer
funds is contemplated for the
project. He said it has been
city policy to participate fi
nancially in projects involv
ing pumping facilities, which
would be required here. "I
think a portion of it should
be assessed to the property
owner," Duff stated.
The city is also to partici
pate to a limited extent, as
previously agreed in the Ber-
rydale and North tiaurelhurst
sewer systems.
Arterial Street '
Another major arterial
street project proposed is the
extension of Melrose ave. east
from Holly st. across the
Southern Pacific railroad
tracks to meet Barnett rd. at
South Riverside ave. The city
has applied to . the public
utilities commission for a pub
lic hearing on the grade cross:
ing.
This extension would pro'
vide an east -west arterial
street from Oakdale ave. east
to the city limits. It would
also provide access for trucks
traveling between the Barnett
rd. freeway interchange and
commercial and industrial es
tablishments on South Fir and
Grape sts.
Other Improvements
Other street improvements
include continued work on
the Stewart ave. crossing over
Crooked creek, paving and
widening of East Jackson st,
from Biddle rd. to Genessee
More than 50 serarate kinds
state are available for tour
ists during Oregon's Centen
nial year at the Stockade,
which opened last Monday.
McNeil said other literature
is now being printed, and
will be added to the basic sup
ply now in the welcome
booth. One folder now being
printed is an informational
booklet being published by
the Jackson County Centen
nial association. , .
Stal Literature
, State literature it the
stockade includes information
on highways, state parks,
Centennial events, fishing
and climates.. Literature on
five southern Oregon coun
ties giving data about their
areas also is available, the
chamber managed noted. The
counties include Douglas, Kla
math, Jackson, Josephine and
Lake.
Jackson county material
being distributed includes
points of interest, historical
folders, statistical informa
tion, the Shakespearean Fes
tival brochure, Southern Ore
gon resort and commercial
enterprise pamphlets.
Area literature available
on other parts of the state is
comprised of folders on the
Oregon coast, central Oregon,
northeast Oregon, Eugene,
Salem and Portland.
Personnel manning the
stockade received a training
course conducted by McNeil
to familiarize them with the
contents of the laterature av
ailable and to teach a tech
nique of determining the visi
tor interest as well as travel
plans in Oregon. In this way,
the type of information most
helpful to the tourist can be
presented, avoiding indiscreet
literature . waste.

Cameron's attorney, J. Ever
ett. Barr, meanwhile directly
denied a public announce
ment of Frank L. Murray,
foreman of the jury that was
dismissed May 9, as hopeless
ly deadlocked in the case
that the jurors had been 8 to
4 for conviction of the Yreka
youth on the final ballot.
Barr said that contradicted
what Murray had told him in
confidence after the trial.
Murray broke a jury pledge
not to discuss the vote be
cause, he said, newspapers
had misreported the jury's
position.
Barr said his investigators
also talked to two other jur
ors who agreed a majority of
the jury was for acquittal of
Cameron oh the charge of the
mutilation slaying . of : Mrs.
Malone.
Cameron's uncle, John Ley,
meanwhile, was quoted by
the Chico Enterprise Record
as saying the trial and prepa
rations had cost about $40,
000 and the family was wor
ried about where to get the
funds to continue the defense.
"I don't know where we can
get the money but we'll get it
somehow," he was quoted as
saying.

appeals at Sacramento has re

Mrs. ' Foote, the former
Paula Fisher, daughter of as
sistant county superintendent
of schools, Paul Fisher, had
filed a suit in superior court
March 14, 1958, asking $83,
500 damages from her hus
band's insurance company,
the Firemen's Fund, for in
juries she allegedly suffered
when a car driven by her fu
ture husband careened from
Montague ror.d -four miles
west of Yreka and over
turned. '
Damages requested includ
ed $75,000 in personal injur
ies to the plaintiff, and $8,500
for medical expenses. Grant
Foote, father of the defend
ant, a minor, also was named
as a defendant in the suit.
