Parks Commission Suggests Engine Remain in Location The Jackson park locomo tive will remain where it is if the city council approves last night's recommendation of the Medford parks and rec reation commission. By a five to one vote the commission recommended to the council that the locomo tive remain on its present pos sition on McAndrews rd. in the northwest corner of the park. The possibility of moving the locomotive to another lo cation came up when several residents on McAndrews rd., immediately across from the engine, complained that it ob structed the view from the front of their homes. A committee, appointed by the commission last month to investigate the complaints, gave its report to the com mission last night. Final ac tion on the location of the locomotive will be taken by the city council, probably at next Thursday night's meet ing. Favorable Recommendation In making the favorable recommendation, the commis sion pointed out that the loca tion of the locomotive, which was donated to the city by Medford Corporation, had been publicized prior to its actual installation, and the parks and recreation commis sion had passed favorably on the location at a public meet ing and no opposition was voiced at that time.

AND FOR ADDED SAVINGS GREEN STAMPS To moVe the locomotive to another location in the park would cost a minimum of $410, Robert Haworth, city parks and recreation director, told the commission. The orig inal move cost $2,500, he said, but due to generous con tributions by various local firms, it cost the city almost nothing. He pointed out that the same firms could not be expected to finance another move. The commission noted that no one other than the three residents immediately across from the locomotive had com plained of its location, and further that the residents did not live in the city, but in the county. However, it was pointed out that this was a matter of public relations. Haworth said that if the locomotive was moved it might set a bad precedent in that future undertakings of the park department might be pressured into change by similar minority groups who would take a cue from the one doing the compaining now. Several commission mem bers said it would probably have been to the city's ad vantage if the residents of the area had been contacted individually before the en gine was placed so that any complaints they might have had would have been voiced at that time. Russ Jamison, commission chairman, said it would be a good idea even now if the commission would contact the compaining residents and ex plain to them the city's posi tion and show them how the park would look when com pleted. Artist's Sketch An artist's sketch of how Jackson park will appear when landscaped and com pleted, was displayed, and it was pointed out that within three years there would be a screening of trees or shrubs between the locomotive and the street. Several pictures of the view of the engine from the front porches of the complain ing residents were taken by the park department ana pre sented to the commission so they would have an idea of just what it looked like from the homes. It was admitted by some members, that it looked rath er bad now, but when the rest of the park was complet ed it would look much better. It was also pointed out that the engine looked much bet ter than the buildings of the Jackson county housing au thority that used to be there. Against Recommendation Mrs. O. A. Eden voted against the recommendation because she felt the residents were right in that the locomo tive was wrongly placed and obstructed their view. The commission said that a fence had recently been placed between the locomo tive and McAndrews rd. so there would be no danger of children running into the street. Since there had been some complaints concerning the nui sance that children playing on the locomotive would cause surrounding neighbors, the parks and recreation depart ment took a survey of the number of children playing on the locomotive and found that in periodic checks over a six-week period, there were no more than four children playing on the engirfe at any one time. Civil Service Law Savings Described Salem-flJPD A county can save money by putting the question of a county civil service law to a vote of the people by the referral meth od, which does not require a voters' pamphlet, according to Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. The opinion was requested by Avery W. Thompson, Doug las county district attorney. Thornton said, however, the referral method cannot be used to supersede . the initia tive method where the in itiative method has been un dertaken and completed. The last Legislature passed an amendment which author izes counties with a popula tion of less than 300,000 to adopt a county civil service law by vote of the people.
