M. Gerow, state sanitary engineer, told a pub lic hearing recently at the Eagle Point school gymnas ium. Approximately 250 persons attended the meeting, which was called by Mayor Ed Put man and the city council to explain the proposed muni cipal sewer installation for Eagle Point. A vote on a bond issue to finance the project is expect ed this fall. Gerow referred to the 1938 pollution prevention bill which he said was passed to clean up contamination of streams and, waters in Ore gon. He said he had been in contact with the Eagle Point city council for several years and that the area was late in improving its sewage dis posal. Estimated Cost The sanitary engineer, who is with the Oregon state sani tary authority, said the esti mated cost of a municipal sewage disposal system for Eagle Point had more than doubled since it was first pro posed in. 1941. Voters turned down the project at that time. Ernest Gregg, chairman of the project committee, quot ed "rough estimations" of the cost of the proposed system. He said over-all cost is estim- Union St. Park Project Tonight "Fun for Funds" is planned tonight at Medford's west-side Union st. park. ' The project is being spon sored by the neighborhood Union St. Part Improvement group to raise funds for play ground equipment. The public-all ages-is in vited to the event, which is to include games, cake walks and "surprises and prizes." A hot dog, potato chips and soft drink can be bought for 25 cents-since these have been donated, the sum represents a clear 100 per cent profit, sponsors report. City firemen are going to serve the meals. The Amen can Legion's 40 et . 8 voiture will be on hand to give rides to children. The event is the latest step in determined and so far suc cessful efforts to turn a va cant lot into an attractive park. The undertaking is the work of neighborhood volunteers. Mrs. Edith Eden of Med ford's parks and recreation commission reported last night that Kogap Lumber In dustries has donated a new sawdust product for ' the park's walkways to keep them from becoming too dus ty. She said that rest room fa cilities were becoming neces sary as children came from further and further away to enjoy the park. Plans for these facilities were being drawn up, she reported. The park is situated be tween Hamilton and Plum sts. at 13th st. ated at $176,000, plus $11,000 for the proposed site of a dis posal plant. The site T under considera tion by the council is 53 acres between Antelope and Little Butte creeks near property formerly owned by Mr. and Mrs. Roland Jenks on Crater Lake highway. Question Asked The question "What type of city do we want?" was asked the audience by John Pletsch of the Jackson Coun ty Federal Savings and Loan association of Medf ord. Pletsch asked if Eagle Point wants increased popula tion, new industry, a new and better shopping center and new and improved homes. All depend on development of the city and community, he declared. Important develop ment issues for a city were listed as zoning, subdivision ordinances, modern utilities and good streets. Pletsch said the city "should be attractive and inviting enough to have new businesses and residents want to come into it." Another hearing on the proposed sewer system will be held later, with a possible vote on the proposal in Sep tember. Supporters predict that meeting the state sanita tion ordinance will increase the number of residents and business who will help fi nance the project. Film Shown Gerow showed a film "On to the Sea" which depicted polution of streams and wat ers in the Willamette valley. B. Kent Blackhurst, Eagle Point city attorney, and Ed ward Jaros, representative of John W. Cunningham and As sociates, consulting engineers, Portland, ' attended the hear ing to answer questions. Gregg said complete facts on construction and financing of the city's sewage system will be sent before the bond election to all persons af fected.
