Permission was given to te city's public works depa ment to tear down a concre wall along the south side f the Main st. bridge whh would provide for nine mie parking spaces. The wall is located betwm the sidewalk and roadway n the bridge. It was at one tie the side of the bridge iUf until the bridge was wlderd some years ago, and sidewa;s extended outside of the 01 crete wall. Public Works Director r non Thorpe could give 10 estimate of cost but saidit would probably take Vo men with jackhammers atut one week to remove the wil. He said to allow parking alng this location would not n pede the flow of traffic. Would Offset Cost Mayor John W. Snier pointed out that the increffid business at retail stores id city income from paring meters would offset the 1st of removing the wall. The council accepted he Jackson park swimming fol last night upon the reon mendation of City Manter Robert Duff. Duff told he council that under term: of the contract the city cald not make the final payitnt to contractors for the 30I until 30 days after the prcect was accepted by the city. He said this would bean due hardship to the conac tor, and so recommended iat the project be accepted. He pointed out that there one - year maintenance ro- vision in the contract withhe contractor, and because he contractor is bonded for lis, the city will be adequsly protected. Request Action Potlpon.i A requested extensior of the contractors compleon date on the swimming 30I was postponed until the ;xt meeting. The contractor tm plctcd the pool on Jun 9. The scheduled compleon date was May 8. It was pointed out tha ac ceptance of the project wuld not be an automatic e:en sion of the completion da!. Rogue River Paving im- pany was awarded the low bid of $30,007 to resuace approximately 5.2 mile of city streets. Nineteen sfcets are included in the pnect. Five of these streets wi be paid from the Arterial S'eet fund, and the rest wil be paid from the State fax Street fund. Only other bidder onihe project was T. R. Flfey, Medford, who bid $41153. Engineers estimate was 25,-056. The council also gavns approval to an extension of The city has proposed in its Siskiyou blvd. from Willam- ette to Cottage sts. This alter nate eastside route would ex tend from the intersection of Siskiyou blvd. and Willam ette ave., along the east side of Bear creek to connect with the extension of 10th st., now under construction, before it crosses the 10th st. bridge, In a report to the council the city engineering depart- ment said immediate plans provide for 24 feet of pave ment for two lanes but that an 80-foot right of way is sug gested to provide for land scaping, street trees and for a ultimate 4-lane section when necessary No construction date was given. Three other projects in this, area are already under construction. These are the extension of 10th st. from Portland ave. to Riverside ave.; construction of the 10th st. bridge over Bear creek; and extension of Siskiyou blvd. to connect with Willam Public Hearing No one appeared at scheduled public hearing last night for a proposed 10-inch cast iron water main to be constructed on Juanipero Way from Mira Mar ave. to Mur phy rd. The council gave its unanimous approval to the project, and authorized the water superintendent to call for bids on the project. The council also called public hearing for its July meeting on the proposed pav ing of Juanipero Way from Black Oak dr. to Murphy rd A similar public hearing was called on the proposed pav ing of Black Oak dr. from Barnett rd. to Juanipero Way, plans and specifications were approved for both projects. The council gave the city's consent to the acquisition of four self-contained fire fight ing masks by the Medford Rural Fire Protection district for the Medford Fire department. The masks cost $256 apiece and, as Fire Chief Gordon Barker pointed out, can be used underground, under water, or in dense smoke. Student To Speak At Methodist Church Robert Youngblood, a stu dent at Willamette univer sity who recently returned from a year of travel in Eu rope, will speak at the First Methodist church, Medford Monday, according to the Older Youth Fellowship, spon sor of the affair. The meeting has been set for 7:30 p.m. Youngblood will show pic tures and talk on his travels using the subject "Hitch-hiking in Europe." The public is invited, and the Fellowship will have an Informal coffee hour at the intermission. 1960-61 budget that the city also purchase four of the masks. Barker said the masks would go to replace worn out masks now being used by the department. A bid to purchase three surplus city lots was awarded by the council to Thomas Whittle. The lots are located on Effie and Bessie sts. in the Laurelhurst addition, and Whittle submitted high bids of $1,650, $1,550 and $1,550, respectively. The sale had been, recom mended by the parks and rec reation commission which said the lots did not fit into the general park plan for which they were originally intended. After some $814 in sewer grading and graveling assessments against the lots are paid off, the balance of the -money will go into the park - and recreation sinking fund. Granted Franchise Southern Pacific railroad was granted a one - year franchise to maintain and operate spur tracks and side tracks on and along Ever green St., 10th st., and 12th St. The franchises are all re newals of existing franchises. City Manager Robert Duff had originally recommended that the franchises be grant ed for two-year periods but changed his recommendation on a suggestion from Council man Fred E. Robinson. Robinson said the down town merchants were inter ested in working out some ar rangement whereby they could use some idle land own ed by Southern Pacific be tween 5th and 7th sts., for off street parking. He suggested that the city might be able to work out an agreement with the railroad to use this idle land for off street parking, in exchange for spur franchises on city owned streets. Duff said one year would be long enough for the city to investigate such an arrangement. Amendment Deferred A proposed amendment to the Medford code to permit approved planters on side walks was deferred to the next council meeting to per mit a more complete study of the matter. Approval was given to three transfers from the city's $10,000 emergency fund to other city departments. These were $3,830 to the Civil De fense department, $3,075 to the planning department and $1,600 to the building de partment. It was pointed out that the money went for all unavoidable expenditures dur ing the 1959-60 fiscal year. The transfers have no affect on the city's proposed 1960-61 budget. Plans and specifications for paving an alley bounded by Oakdale ave. and Holly st., Fourth and Fifth sts., re ceived council approval. It was pointed out that paving would be done at property owners' expense. . , The council accepted con- McAndrews rd. from Waverly ave, to 466 feet west of Springbrook rd.
