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 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.

council that under term: of
the contract the city cald

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.

under construction, before it
crosses the 10th st. bridge,
In a report to the council
the city engineering depart-
ment said immediate plans

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

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.
Extra-width driveways were
approved for the Rogue Val
ley Manor at Mira Mar ave.,
and Shannon dr., and for the
Apostolic Church for a drive-
struction of a water main on way on Niantic st.
