Boycr Outlines Problems of
County Planners at Meeting
hpeaklne before the Ash.
land Chamber of Commerce
last week, Robert Boyer, Med
ford lawyer and Jackson coun
ty planning commission mem
ber, noted three specific prob
lems which have confronted
the commission during the
last year.
He pointed out that the so
lution to these problems is "as
much up to you as to the plan
ning commission." They are
the Jacksonville area garbage
dump, proposed establishment
of a wrecking yard in the Cen
tral Point area, and freeway
construction.
"When it became Immedi
ately obvious that a dump was
proposed for the Jacksonville
area numerous meetings in
and around Jacksonville were
held to prevent use of the site
in question," Boyer said. "Con
cern for property values, for
health, for safety and for the
sightliness of the Jacksonville
area were foremost."
This problem occurred In
the early part of last year
when Jacksonville citizens
were confronted with a gar
bage dump being established
by City Sanitary Service
about a half mile of the city
limits.
Yet the people of Jackson.
ville are independent, and be
lieve, like many residents,
that any regulation is tyranny,
the planning commissioner
noted. This group undoubted
ly was one of the many of the
area that voted against county
zoning the two or three times

that it has been placed
the ballot, Boyer noted
"If plain old property rights
would prevail, City Sanitary
Service was entitled to unlim.
ited use of the land they had
purchase d," the attorney
pointed out. "On the other
side of the ledger were the
many inhabitants of the gen
eral area who envisioned
smoke, odor, and litter
place of the view they had.
Any projected planning in the
growth of Jacksonville led to
t h e inescapable conclusion
that the dump would be in
the way of such progress," he
noted.
"Today the dump ia in ex
istence slightly south of Jack
sonville. One's nose and eyes
will testify those people that
were concerned about what It
would do to the general area
in terms of living were right,"
ne added.
Wracking Yard Problem
Pointing up another plan
ning problem, Boyer said dur
ing July or August the Baker
brothers near Central Point
petitioned the planning com
mission to establish a wreck
ing yard northeast of Central
Point. The only reason the
matter was referred to the
planning commission was that
Wrecking requires a license
approved by the county court,
Boyer explained. The court
used the license requirement
to zone.
On the other hand, Boyer
noted that the applicant was
seeking a living, had purchas
ed his lands and by taking
care of abandoned and old au
tomobiles he performed a val
uable function. ,
Residents did not want to
view a wrecking yard from
their properties, the lawyer
said. When other land was ob
tained on recommendation by
the planning commission, the
commission approved, but the
county court turned It down
on protest by numerous area
residents, Boyer noted.
Barrow Pit Problem
Barrow pits from which fill
material and surfacing mater
ial is obtained post a third
problem, the planning com
missioner pointed out.
In Jackson county we
have a barrow pit within two
or three blocks of a proposed
public school site immediately
north of Central Point,"
Boyer said.
Fill material will be re
quired north of Medford and
several thousands yards of
fill material and surfacing ma
terial will be needed south of
Medford, Boyer pointed out.
It costs the state thousands
of dollars for every additional
mile that the prime contractor
must go for his fill and sur
facing material, Boyer said.
Making the contractors find
such . material some other
place than the valley floor
could increase the cost of the
freeway materially, he added.
The freeway poses another
problem, he pointed out. Now
there are few east-west arter
ials. To establish a new east-
west arterial after the free
way is completed would mean
a bridge or tunnel. However,
if all laterals are projected
now it would be possible to
construct overpasses where
the projected lateral might go
in the future, he noted.
"Tlie answer in all three
cases is that only with plan
ning and by anticipating
future growth and develop
ment can we hope to solve our
problems," Boyer said.
"We must have planning on
the county level to protect the
home-owner and the business
man. We must have planning
on a couty level so that we
can have vision and foresight,
and control in our develop
ment patern," he said.
Boycr listed as the accomp
lishments of the county plan
ning commission during the
last 18 months as a subdivi
sion ordinance, two interim
zoning ordinances and that it
is now working on a county
building code.
The commission is working
closely with the state highway
department to solve the bar
row pit problem and has set
up a regional planning board
; to tie all cities into over-all
' planning.
! County-Wide Planning
"With awareness for the
need for county-wide plan.
ning we hope to have a
county-wide Interim zoning
ordinance before long and
eventually pass zoning by a
vote of the people," Boyer
concluded.
Giving a little background
to the county planning pro
gram, Boyer said the com.
mission was created three
years ago by appointments by
the county court as author
ized under state law. The
basic objective is to provide
a better environment for liv
ing by planning and antici
pating future growth and de
velopment. The commission
also strives to plan with
minimum of regulation, he
added.
"We must protect the rights
of individuals and at the same
time solve the problems we
face as a rapidly growing com
munity," Boyer noted.

Roberta J. - He haa taken
a dislike to my faith.
Henry J, - She's just trying
to get my goat.
e e
Roberta J. - My husband
and I have been married 12
years and have three children.
We are on the verge of break
ing up because of religious dif
ferences. My family warned me not
to marry outside my faith, but
I wouldn't listen to them and
now I see they were right. My
husband promised me faith
fully that he wouldn't inter
fere with the religious train
ing of the chlidren, but now
he has changed his mind. I
send them to a Sunday school
of my faith just because I
feel they should have some
religious schooling. I'm not
really religious myself.
Henry has suddenly taken
a violent dislike to everything
about my faith. He is constant-
ly after me to keep the kids
away from the church which
they happen to love.
e e
Henry J. - Roberta always
said she had no interest in her
own religion and admits she
cares less about it than I do
about mine. She is just send
ing the children to the Sunday
School to get my goat. She
talks a lot of high-sounding
stuff about children having to
get religious schooling, but
the words mean nothing at
all. If I had been smart
enough to keep my trap shut
the first time she suggested
Sunday School, she would
have forgotten the whole
thing by now.
She s right, though, about
my having taken a violent dis
like to her faith. I went along
with her and the kids a cou
ple of Sundays and I never
heard so much nonsense in
my life. I have a right to my
say about the kids' education.
e e e
The Council: - We doubt
whether many marriages have
actually broken up over re
ligious differences in them
selves, although religious dif
ferences are among the favor
ite excuses and weapons in
marital battles.
The fact is that deeply re
ligious individuals, who have
seriously studied the meaning
of their faiths, get along well
with members of other faiths.
On the rare occasions when
such persons marry someone
from another faith, some solu
tion is found to the child-
rearing problem. " .
Individuals with little or no
religious understanding, how
ever, sometimes marry out
side the faith of their birth for
reasons that have little to do
with real love. Their basic at
titudes are selfish ones and
they pick up any handy weap
ons to fight one another. Re
ligious differences are con
venient and they are used to
the hilt. The problem of child
rearing is also convenient and
many battles are fought in
which the children are mere
pawns.
The situation is a tragic one,
but perhaps it would help
couples like Roberta and
Henry to recognize that re
ligious differences are not
tearing their home apart. The
practice of true religion would
not have such a result. The
battle is a more personal one.
It involves two partners who
have not learned to love.
We are sure that some solu
tion can be found here, but
Roberta and Henry must first
decide to love one another
and their children. If they stop
trying to wound one another
their eyes will be opened to
the best path to follow in re
lation to the children.
