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

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. H.
Harmon who bid $450.

The period of Lent is ob

the forty days that Jesus spent

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

village life, and the difficult
agricultural problems which
the people of Galilee faced.
