Action on a proposed va-
cation of an alley between
Hawthorne and Genessee sis.,
north o( Main St., was post
poned by the Med lord city
council Thursday night until
its next regular meeting.
The decision to postpone ac
tion on the alley wns taken
after a resident w h o owns
property abutting both ends
of the alley said he was op
posed to vacation by the city,
Attorney Paul Haviland,
representing E. W, Brown,
who opposes the move, said
that although the allcy'does
not now have much use, It
will have in the future when
the value of the property as
a business area should go up
and the alley would be a val
uable asset as a means of serv
ing the property.
Attorney George Rode, rep
resenting those who favor va
cation, said that five property
owners whose property abuls
the alley favor the vacation.
He said the aliey has only a
5 Va foot wide entrance on
Genessee St., making the use
of the alley "physically im
possible." '
The alley has only one en
trance. It is L-shaped and
dead-ends in the middle of the
block.
Rocommtndtd Approval
The city planning commis
sion had recommended to the
council that the vacation be
approved as the city has no
interests in the alley.
City Attorney Joel Recdcr
said vacation of the alley
would not require 100 per
cent agreement of the adja
cent property owners because
action to vacate the alley was
initiated by the city.
Rode said the adjacent
property owners want to de
velop the alley as part of
their own property.
The council elected to per
mit the Evergreen Bus Lines,
Inc., to discontinue its East
Jackson-Spring sts. run, and
go back iO using the West
Main-Eighth sts. route as a re
turn for the west side run in
stead of Columbus ave. and
west Jackson St.
City Manager Robert Duff
said the manager of the bus
company, L.R. Pilchcr, had
said in his written request for
the change that, "it appears
the majority of the people in
Medford do not want bus ser
vice." The company wanted to
discontinue these specific
routes. Duff said, because the
"company finds the routes un
profitable and not used."
Not Catching On
Councilman Donald Hanson
said that for some reason bus
service is not catching on in
Medford. He said he was not
try-ng to tell the company
how to run it business, but

Hint Hie bus service can con
tinue to provide a service
which is "necessary."
The council said that public
hearings will be called before
the proposed mulliple-famlly
and trailer park ordinances
are adopted by the city. It was
pointed out that the city is not
legally required to hold a pub
lic hearing on the trailer park
ordinance, but said it would
do so anyway so persons
would have a chance to make
their views known.
