Committee Asks
$1,000 Be Restored
In Library Funds
A committee of the Med
ford citizen's budget commit
tee recommended this morn
ing that $1,000 be restored to
the books and equipment
funds of the Public Library
of Medford and Jackson coun
ty. The money had been cut
from the library's requested
budget by the city administra
ti n, and the library board
had appealed to the budget
committee that at least some
of the money be restored.
Just one-half of the 16
member committee showed
up for this morning's meet
ing. Four of them were city
c ncllmen. ' The committee
h -en holding early morn
ing . etlngs in an effort to
gain the attendance of more
of ls i mbers.
Don Carlon, who had serv
ed on the special committee
studying the library's request,
d tne committee the li
brary does have a problem.
He said this partly resulted
from the fact that the library
has "done too good a job."
Money Transfers
It was recommended that
$200 of the S1.000 be trans
ferred out of the library's
$1,000 building and main
tenance fund and the other
$800 come out of the esti
mated $3,200 surplus in the
1960-61 city budget.
Councilman Stanley Stark
asked City Manager Robert
Duff, why the allocation for
the urban planning program
had been increased from
$3,000 in this year's plan
ning department budget to
$6,160 for the 1960-1961 bud
get.
Duff said the city-federal
government program for
which this money is being
used, is being stepped up.
Scheduled for completion dur
ing the coming year are a
through-street study, a public
buildings study, a park and
recreation study, completion
of a revised zoning ordinance
and a central business district
study.
Duff noted that the $6,160
allocation is being matched
by federal funds. The bulk
of the program should be com
pleted by the end of the next
fiscal year, he said. But, when

Kehrli Emphasizes Need for Adequate
Land Use Studies Before Area Zoning
Russell, Kan.-diPll-Dr. Bar
bara Moore, 56, the Brit

country walk from San Fran
cisco to New York, lost her
motorized escort Uxiny but
continued on without him.
Herman Kehrli, executive
director of the bureau of mu
nicipal research, Eugene, las
night, emphasized the need
for adequate land use studies
before zoning at a regional
planning meeting here.
"Zoning should be the last
step in the planning pro
cesses." Kehrli said. "Cities
I've been acquainted with
impressed me by not too
much interest In planning
until they got some problem.
Then they had to have plan
ning Immediately."
Zoning without studying
other factors is apt to create
other problems, he pointed
nut.
Follow Summary
Kchrli's remarks followed
a summary by County Judge
Earl Miller of what planning
has been done In Jackson
county. Miller explained that
the county Is without general
zoning. The county is now at
tempting to coordinate county
planning with that of the
cities of Ashland and Med
ford, he said. Almost all of
the incorporated cities on the
valley floor have planning
commissions, he pointed out.
"However, now we are In
troublt becatue there has
been considerable misunder
standing over interim zon
ing," Miller commented.
Kehrle pointed out that the
Eugene area recently com
pleted a report on the first
planning study of the area in
volving three towns near
Eugene. Lane county had the
problem of no planning pol
icy for the fringe areas of
Eugene. The subdivider
would rough in a road, spread
a little gravel over it and ex
pect the county to take it
over. '
Jackson county basic plan
ning should take two or three
years, then the cities should
be-tied in with the central
plan, he said. ,
Explaining the background
of the federal urban assist
ance program, the bureau di
rector said "when the Eisen
hower administration took
over it was opposed to the
public housing programs. It
decided to take a different ap
proach, thinking that a lot of
the problems are due to in
adequate local planning. This
caused the pressure to build
up on local government. It
thought the states should help
with the program, too."
"So when the stale legisla
ture designated an agency to
carry out the program in Ore
gon it picked our omce tne
bureau of municipal research
st the University of Ore
gon. The state planning
agency was established about
1055 by the legislature and
Medford was one of the first
cities to 'come under the pro
gram. We now have 38 Ore
gon cities which have their
applications in," Kehrli ex
plained. "A total of approxl
mately $270,000 has been dis
tributed among the cities 10
far." '
Zoning cannot be done to
prevent agricultural use,
Kehrli told Ron James, Jack
son county planning commis
sion president. Kehrli said he
did not know what the divid
ing line is between agricul
ture and single lamily real
dence. ' '
Approximately 75 persons
attended the meeting In the
county court room. Attending
were County Judge Earl Mil
ler, who is spearheading the
regional planning, and Coun
ty Commissioner R a I p
James plus representatives of
all of the county incor
porated cities.
