Change of Vote Averts Further Delay in Carport for Business Only last minute change of vote by Medford City Councilman Donald Hansen Thursday night averted a fur ther delay in the Virgil An derson carport issue which has been before city administra tive bodies for nearly two months. Hansen'! change from "no" to "yes" broke a deadlocked vote and gave the council's ap proval to a city planning com mission recommendation that Anderson be granted a zoning variance to complete con struction of a carport at 1234 Corona ave. Anderson operates a gen eral contracting business at that location, in what is oth erwise a single-family zone. Because his business existed prior to the area's annexation in 1957, he has a pre-existing right to continue operations, with the stipulation that he does not expand his business. Before Commission The matter first appeared before the planing commission at Its March 11 meeting. At that time, Anderson's attorney contended that the carport had been started prior to the area's annexation and there fore he should legally be per mitted to complete it. He further contended that the addition of the carport would enhance the beauty of both the business and the sur rounding neighborhood. Both of these contentions were sup ported by a number of Ander son's neighbors. However, another group of neighbors also appeared at that meeting in opposition to the request. They were of the opinion that Anderson's car port was not started prior to annexation, and was a direct violation of the zoning ordi nance. They further argued that the carport would not be a welcome addition to the area from an aesthetic point of view. Delay For Study Because of the conflicting opinions, the commission found it necessary to refer the matter to their next meeting pending more study. On April 15, the request was again considered and the commission heard essentially the same arguments from es sentially the same persons. But, this time they unanimous ly passed a recommendation that Anderson be permitted to complete the carport. However, the recommenda- To Size 48 .

Councilman Robert Baccus said that although he compli ments Anderson on his efforts to beautify his place of busi ness, he feels the carport would be too high and thinks some sort of compromise should be worked out. Move For Amendment To this end, he moved to amend a motion to approve the request, by stating that the entire matter should be referred to a joint meeting of the city council, planning com mission and parties, both pro and con, concerned. Others on the council were of the opinion, as expressed by Councilman Stanley Stark, that Anderson had waited long enough for action on his request and it should be de cided at the meeting. Stark also pointed out that the com mission had given consider able study to the matter and their recommendation should be accepted. A vote on the amendment found Councilmen Baccus, Al Bradford and Hansen in fa vor, with the other five mem bers opposed.

According to City Attorney Joel Reeder, matters appearing before the council for the first time re quire a three-fourth favorable vote for passage. When they appear two or more times, then only majority approval is required. When this deadlock was m ad t known, Councilman Hanson then changed his vote, his reasons being he said, that Anderson has waited long enough for action on his re quest, and it is apparent that a majority of the council is in favor. Following Hanson's switch, Bradford and Baccus also changed their votes, mak ing council approval unanimous. Council Considers Routine Matters at Medford Meeting Most of the items consid ered at Thursday night's Med ford city council meeting were of a routine nature, with the possible exception of certain speed recommendations re ceived from the state speed control board. The board recommended in a report to the council that a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit be established on Crater Lake highway from its intersection with North Pacific highway, for .3 tenths of a mile north. From this point to the north city limits the proposed speed limit would be 50 miles per hour. There are no established speeds on this section of road at present. The council has 30 days to approve or disapprove this proposal. Councilman Ed Hall dis agreed with the proposal In part, and moved to amend a motion to accept the report by inserting that the 35-mile-per-hour limit be extended to Biddle rd.- - Reason for Change Thil is necessary, he said, because of the increasing amount of airport traffic at the Biddle rd.-Crater Lake highway intersection. Several other members of the council pointed out that it is difficult to overcome ruling of the state board and felt the proposed, speeds should be accepted. A vote on Hall's amendment found the council split 4-4 and it failed, leaving the report as is. John Hill, owner of the Courtesy Cab company, re quested the council to grant him two additional curb park. ing spaces for his cabs.

Hill spoke at the meeting, and said these spaces were necessary to insure customers prompt service. They already have one space at this loca tion. It was pointed out by City Manager Robert Duff that if approved these spaces would necessitate the remo val of two parking meters. Council Splits on Motion The council split 4-4 on a motion to deny the request. Councilman Donald Hansen moved that taxicabs be in cluded in a city ordinance which allows certain types of businesses to purchase park ing meter "hoods" at a yearly rental of $75. Hanson was of the opinion that Courtesy Cab company should not be allowed to have any more spaces, but they should be permitted to rent these hoods which would serve the same purpose and still assure the city ot some revenue. It was pointed out that oth er cab companies have off itreet parking and do not re quire exclusive curb spaces. The council elected to refer this matter to the executive committee for further study.

Brannock, contact rep resentative, VA Domiciliary, White City, has given the fol lowing guide since the amount of annual income determines the size of the pension pay ment or whether or not there will be any pension payment at all. All wages, salaries, profits, interest, dividends are con sidered income, he said, as are retirement pensions, annuities and social security payments. In fact, he added, all money received must be counted as income except these eight classifications: 1. The compensation or pen sion payments received from theVA. 2. Donations from private or public relief or welfare sources.- 3. Government life insur ance payments and payments of servicemen's indemnity. 4. Payments by the Armed Forces of the six months death gratuity. 5. Social security lump sum death payments. 6. Payments from public or private retirement, annuity or endowment plans up to the amount equal to the money contributed or paid by the veteran or dependent in order to become eligible for the plan. After contributions have been recovered all of the pen- tachment from the Haupert Tractor company, Medford.

Proceeds of fire insur ance policies. There is an additional ex ception for the widow or chil dren of a deceased veteran: 8. The money expended for the burial of the veteran as well as any money expended to pay off his just debts may be deducted from income re ports.

Mrs. Black suffered severe burns from the waist down. She also received burns on her back. Dennis Black, 11-year-old active Tenderfoot Boy Scout of Troop 100, came to the aid of his mother at the time her clothing caught fire, and it is believed that through his quick thinking he saved her from being more severely burned. When the boy reached his mother, she was in the front yard. He had grabbed a blan ket from the house and rolled her in it with the help of a passerby.
