Medford's Park and Shop prog-am should have more of an overall stability, Medford City Councilman Fred Bob Lison told a session of the League of Oregon Cities last week. Robinson, who is financial ly backing the program, said h is carrying all the master leases except for two parking lots in the downtown Medford program. For overall stability the city should take over all the master leases and sublet them back to the parking lot op erators, Robinson emphasized. This, he said, would ensure continuity of the program. The city councilman said enabling legislation passed by the last state legislature would . alow cities Bancroft purchase of such parking lots under an installment payment program similar to the one used for financing street, water and sewer improve ments.' Not in Black "We are not in the black by quite a long ways," Rob inson said. "Not as , many shoppers are using the pro gram as they probably will be in about six months when it becomes better known." "Representatives of the various cities who heard me explain the program wanted me to live in their towns," Robinson laughed. Robinson estimated use of the Park and Shop lots costs a shopper ..about, three . cents an hour compared to the parking meter rate of usually five cents an hour,' and 10 cents an hour on some meters.- ' ' , ' Use of Each Meter , The city councilman said it is estimated use-of -each city meter represents $20,000 a year in gross retail sales re ceipts. Add 100 parking spac es to the estimated .800 me ters in Medford and the boost in retail sales is: substantial, he pointed out. Robinson explained that a merchant is not required, un der the Park and Shop plan, to issue more than one park ing stamp so the program cost can be shared more equally by all the merchants in the area.' When a customer makes a purchase-of at least $2 in one store he. is given, a stamp. If another purchase of at least $2 in a . different store is made, the- customer gets an other stamp. "If a customer were given a stamp for every $2 spent in one store it would mean stor es would be paying more than their far share in the pro gram," Robinson explained. ; Downtown Salem , i The heart of downtown Sa--lenv has become ' a .. business blight area because no pro gressive parking program has been worked out by the mer chants there, Robinson said he hid learned - recently. Business - property owners have had; to voluntarily cut their rental charges a number of times due to a drop in re-, tail trade. , ' - - Discussing the session of the .

At the session, Harold E. Hilliken, chief of the water supply and swimimng pool section of the state board of health, agreed to meet with an association committee to review recent revisions in' the state's regulations on swimming pools used by. the public. The revisions are aim ed primarily at the motel and hotel type pool operation and are not practical for city-operated pools, Haworth said. Outlines Duties Richard C Dunlop, plan ning supervisor for the parks and recreation division of the state highway department, outlined the duties of Clay ton Anderson, newly appoint ed state recreation director. Anderson was formerly parks and recreation director in the Springfield area. One of his duties will be to work with communities where no full time park and recreation department pro gram has been established. He may also be called to as sist counties and cities who have parks &nd recreation de partments in special pro grams. Anderson is also to estab lish a regular publication for the state's professional parks and recreation personnel. He will be responsible for the staff and recreation program at the state level and hire lifeguards' for state beaches and lake fronts. Elected Director c ' . Medford City Manager Rob ert Duff was elected to the board of directors when the new Oregon City Managers' association conducted its or ganization meeting during the League of Oregon Cities con vention in Portland. Catherine Lauris, Eugene city council woman, spoke on the pedestrian mall operated in Eugene's downtown shop ping district. This, she ex plained, was on a carnival basis and on a street area not interrupted by cross- sxreets. Alleys in the area were used, also. ; George McAllister, Gresh am city attorney, explained how the Bancroft installment plan could be applied to park ing lots ' by city administra tions. A University of Oregon tax expert told the city officials that the. property tax is car rying just about all the bur den it can take.
