Eaton Directed To Prepare Hew Regulation Suggestions The Jackson county plan ning commission has directed Planning Technician Jack Eaton to prepare suggestions for new county or state regu lations on control of resubdi Viding lots. The planning commission delayed action on Eaton's pol icy brief, which was present ed informally at the commis sion's dinner meeting Wednesday night, i In his brief suggesting con trol of resubdivision lots. Eaton noted that because of soil types many lots may re quire large drain fields for septic tanks. However, the original-lots can be divided again and sold regardless of drainage field requirements. ' The county sanitarian can control the lot size only in the case of GI or FHA loans when his inspection and ap proval is required, Eaton explained. The steadily increasing population and sale of new homes aggravates the prob lem, he pointed out. Disbursement of homes be cause of large drain fields re quired will make it difficult in the future to group them under a sewer system, Eaton said. Suggest Methods Orie Moore, chief county sanitarian noted that the in flux of population is rapid ly using up suitable drainage field soils. He suggested grav el fill or sawdust and shav ings evaporation beds for septic tank drainage fields on toils unsuitable for standards drainage fields. The gravel fill method has proved successful with some private homes for four years, and a cafe in the Agate des ert area has used sawdust and havings successfully for two years, except when heavy rainfall flooded the field, Moore said. Eaton was directed also to consult with the city planning department and County En gineer Robert J. Carstensen on establishing two possible additional east-west traffic routes across the Highway 99 freeway. Current plans Indicate no routes between Barnett and Fern Valley rds. inter-change s three-mile distance, Eaton pointed out. One would be a possible Voorhics crossing ex tension and an extension by Charlotte Ann rd. Depends en Growth These would not necessari ly have to be established, but provided for as popula tion growth and traffic in creases at the south end of Medford, it was pointed out. The proposed county build ing code was also discussed. Commission President Ron James said It was decided to delay formal discussion of the code since Clifford Love joy was the only building code subcommittee member present at the meeting. James noted that the com mission has been preparing the building code for the time when it might be needed, but is not actively promoting it. The commission agreed that Jim McGoodwln, attor ney for H. E. Conger, Ross lane, should contact the dis trict " attorney's office on what the commission charges Is violation of the state tatute, Not Submitting Plats ' James alledged that for tome time Conger has not been submitting subdivision plats, and was notified by let ter he was violating the law. lations effort. James said, but the commission received a letter questioning its authori ty. - , Following appearance of John Dellenback, Medford at torney representing Archie Pierce, the subdivision sub committee agreed to meet on possible approval of the Bel Air subdivision in the Cherry Heights district east of the Phoenix-Hillcrest rd. Dellenback said Pierce was anxious to start selling lots. It was noted that the final plat had been checked and cleared all county depart ments except the surveyor's. Sanitarian's Approval With the sanitarian's ap proval of evaporation beds for septic tank disposal. Ag ate extension No. 4 in the Hoover subdivision in the White City area has been ap proved, it was reported. The commission has de nied approval of the plats from Cal-Ore properties un til the roads are properly sur veyed and the property is properly platted, it was re ported. The commission approved vacation of part of the Foot hills rd. for extension of the Rogue Valley Country club golf course. The subdivision subcommittee had recom mended acceptance of the 10 foot strip for the golf course extension.

An ex tremely severe radio blackout of long duration occurred, and large radio noise out bursts were heard on a num ber of wavelengths, beginning at 4:30 p.m., Universal time, ; June 9, 1959. However, no solar flare! could be seen on the sun's j disk, although a prominent ! flare would normally be ap parent at the time of such a radio disturbance. This un usual occurrence caused Bu reau scientists to question previously established rela tionships between solar events, ionospheric disturb ances and geomagnetic storms. The understanding of these relationships plays an impor tant part in the Bureau's ra dio propagation prediction services. SUBTEEN CHARM HOUR AND STYLE SHOW MANN'S TEEN SHOP SAT., 11A.M. Free Cokes!
