Studies Being Made
On Traffic at East
End of New Bridge
Studies are being n.ade by
the traffic engineering de
partment to determine if a
hazardous traffic condition
exists at the east end of the
Eighth st. bridge, City Engin
eer Vernon Thorpe told the
Medford city council Thurs
day night.
Councilman Ed Hall, Ward
I, had asked Thorpe if there
Is any thought toward prohi
biting parking at all times on
the south side of the section
of Main st. to permit two lan
es of eastbound traffic.
Thorpe said the studies
were instigated after several
complaints were received by
the city concerning the two
lanes of traffic having to
converge into one at the east
end of the bridge.
Parking is now prohibited
from the bridge to Tripp st.,
between the hours of 4 pjn.
and 6 p.m., and Thorpe said it
would be possible to prohibit
parking up to Tripp st. all
day but not much farther due
to the narrowness of Main
st. after that intersection.
Takes No Action
The council received and
took no action on a report
from the state speed control
board that a request by the
city to have speeds reduced
on North Pacific highway be
tween Mace rd. and the state
police office from the pres
ent maximum speed limit of
50 miles per hour, be denied.
The board said in the re
port that its reasons were
based on the fact that traffic
accidents along this stretcth
of highway are not frequent
enough to warrant a reduc
tion in the speed limit.
A motion by Councilman
Hall that the report be con
tested and the board give the
city a rehearing on the mat

The Argentine pronuncia
tion of Llao Llao, the resort
hotel where President Eisen
hower spent last week end at
Bariloche, sounds like "shyow
Shyow" but some of the
other names more commonly
heard at streetcar wrecks or
alley fights.
Charming Resort
The hotel physically is
about as charming a resort as
exists in the Western Hemis
phere, but the management
had some exceedingly quaint
pricing practices.
Although the President
spent only two nights at Llao
Llao, some members of his
party were confronted with
bills for six nights. One high
Washington official became
slightly apoplectic when the
management insisted he fork
over money for six nights.
An official of the Ameri
can embassy in Buenos Aires
tried to soothe the feelings of
the Washington official by ex
plaining that this was the cus
tom in some Argentine hotels.
Official Explodes
Whereupon the official ex
ploded "These people have
taken foreign aid into their
own hands."
The eight American report
ers permitted to stay at the
Llao Llao were put up four
men to a room and charged
$120 per room for the two
night stay.
Many of the American par
ty at the Llao Llao paid cash
for their meals. Then, after
they had settled their hotel
bills, they learned that the
cost of meals was included in
the total room charge. The
management, how ever, de
clined to make any refunds.
The management also was
quite unabashed in suggesting
that bills be paid in Ameri
can dollars rather than in
Argentine pesos.
