1 Park and Shop' to Begin Tomorrow
At Four Lots in downtown Medfford
Downtown Medford's "park
and shop" program is sched
uled to begin Monday with
four parking lots in operation.
A fifth lot is expected to
be ready by the end of the
week. Two more lots are also
being prepared.
A total of 48 businessmen
and a dentist have subscribed
to the program so far. Its pur
pose is two-fold:
1. To provide off-street
parking facilities for the con
venience of customers, clients
or patients;
2. To encourage these per
sons to patronize stores and
offices in the downtown area
The new Sears Roebuck and
Safeway stores in the Medford
Shopping Center on East
Jackson st., are scheduled to
open Thursday, signaling the
start of new compeition for
the downtown merchants. Oth
er outlets in the shopping cent
er are to be opened in the
months to come.
Knotty Problem .
XJff-street parking in the
downtown area has become an
increasingly knotty problem,
Two attempts to authorize fi
nancing of facilities by the
city itself met defeat at the
polls, in 1956 and 1958.
Rates and hours for city
parking meters were increased
with an eye to using the extra
revenue as a nest egg for a
municipal program. But this

Rooftop Sniper
In San Francisco
Wounds Two Men
San Francisco - HJPD - A
rooftop sniper, armed with an
automatic rifle and an extra
box of shells, had the gun
shot out of his hands by a
sharp-shooting policeman af
ter he had wounded two men
yesterday. ,
The sniper, Antonio Gutier
rez, 22, told police he had
been "taken" by a girl he met
in a bar. Yesterday morning
he went to the roof of a build
ing across the street from
where he said she lived and
began firing the '.22 caliber
automatic rifle.
Joseph Starks, 39, a pass
erby, was dropped with a su
perficial forehead wound
from the sniper's bullets.
Thirty police rushed to the
area and surrounded the
building. An emergency hos
pital steward, John Cozzens,
26, went to Starks' aid. Gu
tierrez opened fire on him and
critically wounded him in the
chest.
As police cautiously closed
in on the sniper, officer
George Roscoe fired a well
aimed shot from his .38 cali
ber pistol at a distance of 100
feet. It shattered the scope on
Gutierrez' rifle and knocked
the weapon from his hands.
Police had exchanged about
40 shots with the sniper.
Gutierrez identified himself
as a housepainter. He said he
picked up a girl in a bar Fri
day night and "she took me
for $10" in the house against
which he had set up his roof
top siege. At police head
quarters he went berserk,
threatening a news photogra
pher, and was locked m a
padded cell.
Police arrested Jean Evans,
24, on a morals charge. She
was identified as the girl who
allegedly aroused Gutierrez
wrath.
egg has landed in the general
fund basket.
"Park and shop" represents
an attempt by the downtown
merchants and professional
men to solve the problem for
themselves. It was inspired by
William Barr of the National
Parking association, who
spoke here last February.
The program is being sup
ervised by the Jackson County
Chamber of Commerce. But
its financial base rests upon
the 49 participants, and upon
the parking lot owners.
Four Lots Ready
The four lots ready for op
eration tomorrow have been
used for parking previously
They include H. S. Deuel's lot
next to Valley Fuel company,
on Main st. at the railroad
tracks; Chuck Risse's lot at
Ninth st. and South Central
ave.; Alabam's parking lot on
Main st. just east of the tracks,
owned by S. L. Moore; and
Fred Robinson's lot at 19-21
South Front t.
Robinson, city councilman
and co-proprietor of Robinson
Brothers clothing store, 114
East Main st., is also develop
ing the other three lots to be
opened soon.
The one that that may be
ready this week is next to
the Craterian theatre, on East
Eight st. between South Cen
tral ave. and South Bartlett
st. The others are to be at 29
South Bartlett st., formerly
Daily's body shop, and at 135
North Central ave., next to
the Yellow Cab company.
What It Offers
Basically, "park and shop"
offers the motorist a chance
for free parking, and the mer
chant and lot operator a
chance for more business.
The parking becomes free
for the motorist only as he or
she patronizes the participat
ing businesses.
It works this way. The mot
orist drives into one of the
lots and receives a ticket. If
he makes a minimum pur
chase or other transaction
from one of the "park and
shop" participants, he receives
a stamp.
The stamp, affixed to the
ticket, is good for one hour's
free parking. Another stamp,
from another business, is
worth another hour. -J
Suggested Minimum
The chamber of commerce
has sugrested that a $2 min
imum be set for the issuance
of a stamp. But individual
businessmen may set their
own minimum purchase or
transaction. .
The motorist returns to the
parking lot, and turns in the
ticket to the operator. If the
number of stamps is sufficient
to cover the parking time, he
is charged nothing.
If not, he pays the differ
ence to the lot operator, at a
rate of 10 cents per half hour.
In other words, each stamp
being good for an hour's parking-represents
a 20-cent saving
to the motorist.
The lot operator collects the
ticket with its stamps from
the motorist, and then can re
deem the stamps at the Cham
ber of Commerce for cash.
The businessmen, for their
