Southern The Medford citv rniinril last night granted the South ern Pacific railroad a fran chise to build a second spur track on McAndrews rd. with the condition that it reimburse the city for any costs it might incur because of the new track. By costs, the council indi cated it means it is anticipat ing the possibility that the Public Utilities Commission might require warning signals be installed at the spur track, located between the SP's tracks and Timber Products company. The resolution, as originally phrased, would have merely given SP the right to build the spur, but City Councilman Donald Hansen, Ward 2, mov ' ed that the condition be at tached to the resolution so the city would not incur any costs because of the franchise. Councilmen R. L. Van Sickle, Ward 3, and Al Brad ford, Ward 2, opposed the con dition because they felt it might serve to penalize Tim ber Products company for which the spur was mainly in tended to benefit, and which, according to Van Sickle, had verbally agreed to help pay the cost of any signals that "might have to be installed Amend Resolution Councilman Hansen further moved to amend the resolu tion by requiring that the spur track, (which will be the second at this location) be used only for unloading and loading and switching freight cars, This amendment too, pass ed, but Bradford said of it, and the previous amendment: 'Timber Products has need of the new spur track and it is essential that the city help them regardless of how we feel about Southern Pacific feel we should not put- re strictions in the resolution which would prevent Timber Products from getting the cars that they need." The resolution as amended passed the council unani mously, City Manager Robert Duff noted that the ultimate auth orization for the franchise would come from the PUC which also has the say on whether or not signals would be required there and if so, how the costs should be dis tributed among the interested parties, the city included. Other Council Action In other action last night, the council deadlocked twice on votes concerning a request from Witham Parts and Equip ment company, North River side ave. and Apple1 St., that it be allowed to have two extra-width driveways, both 45 feet wide, one on Riverside ave., and one on Apple st., to facilitate parking on the lot. According to Duff's report, the company would use the driveways for the purpose of moving heavy trucks and equipment on and off the lot, If the request is granted, he said, it would cause the re moval of three parking met ers. Councilman Sanley Stark, Ward 4, said that a request for two 45-foot wide drive ways for a lot only 55 feet long, seemed to conflict with the city's normal regulations, in addition to the fact that heavy equipment and trucks moving on and off the lot would merely add to the traf fic problems already existing on Riverside ave. and Apple St. Stark moved that the re quests for both extra-width driveways be denied. Councilman Hansen moved to amend the motion -by de leting that part of the motion which denied the Apple st. extra-width driveway, appar ently feeling that this drive- wav would be all right A vote on the amendment ended ud in a three - three deadlock, with Councilmen Stark, Jimmy Dunlevy, Ward 4, and Van Sickle voting against, it, and Councilmen or your old tar down And look what's included: 4 door, full family sized convenience, heater, defroster, automatic choke, and much, much more ... all as standard equipment!

The vote on this motion pass ed by a four to two count with Councilmen Stark and Van Sickle opposed. The council also elected to defer until the next meeting a request from Dr. Robert De Lorme that he be allowed to install an extra-width 60-foot driveway at his place of busi ness at 1108 East Main st. to provide off-street parking. Several council members expressed the opinion, along with Duff, that this proposed News rence Woolfolk. Georgia, Di ane Barton and Judy Hill were named to the game com mittee.

To Visit Site It was voted that the coun cil visit the site as a commit tee of the whole, to personal ly study the situation and act on it at their next meeting. A third council deadlock came on a request from Har ley E. Lowe, Ashland, that he be qualified to bid on city construction projects costing up to $30,000. Councilman Hansen said he doesn't think, and Stark agreed, that Lpwe's assets ap pear to be worth $30,000 and therefore Lowe would prob ably not be able to take out a performance bond for that amount. He moved to amend a motion that he be qualified, by substituting the amount of $20,000 for $30,000 in the main motion. A vote on this amendment again saw the council divided three to three, with Bradford, Van Sickle and Baccus voting against it, causing the amend ment to fail for lack of an affirmative vote. The council voted five to one in favor, with Hansen op posing, on the main motion, that Lowe be qualified to bid on projects up to $30,000. Resolution Passes The council unanimously passed a resolution that the city request the federal gov ernment, through the Univer sity of Oregon, for federal urban planning assistance. This request is a continua tion of the federal-city coop erative plan for the develop ment of a master plan for the city.- This particular phase, which would cost $17,000, the government and the city each paying half, would provide for the development of a ma jor street plan, public build ings study, and central area study. The council called for pub lic hearings on a vacation of an alley between Highway 99 and Gore ave., as recommend ed by the planning commis sion, and a zone change from residential to commercial at 1827 North Riverside ave., also recommended by the planning commission. The council held a public hearing on, and approved, the installation of a water main on East McAndrews rd., from Waverly ave. to a point 466 feet west of Springbrook rd. Bids on the project were also called. Revised plans and specifi cations for a sanitary sewer in the South Riverside ave., Barnet rd. area, were ap proved. Bids Rejected All bids for the purchase of a back-hoe were rejected by SCOTCH WHISKY DREYFUS, the council upon the recom mendation of the public works department, which said it could purchase a back -hoe (trencher) attachment for one of its existing rigs at a large savings in cost Approval was also given to the sale of the Egan house, which was acquired by the city as part of the right of way for the 10th st. exten sion, to high bidder, J.

Lent Held in Commemoration of Days Jesus Spent BY THE RT. REV. OLIVER J. HART Episcopal Bishop of Pennsylvania Written for UPI The period of Lent is ob served in commemoration of the forty days that Jesus spent in the wilderness thinking out the principles upon which He would found his kingdom. Whatever you make of the three temptations which Jesus there experienced, certainly they mean this - that Jesus realized that men are tempted to be concerned with material things only. Much Unemployment He lived in a country where there was much unemploy ment. He knew intimately the village life, and the difficult agricultural problems which the people of Galilee faced. No one would suggest that there was in Jesus any of the ASK PADEREWSKI STAMP Washington-fllPD-Sen.

Jesus met that test openly and com pletely, but He did make it plain that we must look be yond our physical needs. He fed the five thousand because they were hungry but when they continued to follow him, He said to them, "It is not be cause of the signs that you have seen that you have eaten of that bread and have had all you wanted of it." Antithesis Not Found No antithesis should exist between our practical duties and our spiritual insights. We do not find such an antithesis in the lives of real Christians. Rather Christian history shows that those who have been most keenly aware of God's presence have been most intelligent in their serv ice of their fellow men.' . Lent offers us the oppor tunity to deepen our sense of the presence of God. SOLE U. S. IMPORTERS.
