(UPI Telephoto) Free Electricity on Tennis Courts Asked by Players Medford area tennis enlhu ilasls have asked the city to provide free electricity at the high school tennis courts. The group recently pell tloned the city parks and rec reation commission asking them to take the request to the city council. Letters were sent to Robert Haworth, recreation director for the city, and several mem' bers of the parks and recrea tion commission. The item was formally presented before the commission Wednesday night at the city hall.

Send now Only 25c, cials, lighting on the high school courts is operated by coin meter boxes, allowing 30 minutes of play for 25 cents. Other than a "courtesy limit" if others are waiting to use the courts, there are no fur ther restrictions. Chief Supporters Chief supporters of the "free lights" movement wore members of the Rogue Valley Tennis club. In the initial part of the group's plea, they point out that summer weath er in Medford precludes a lot of afternoon or early evening tennis use because of the tem peratures. Metered lights as now operated are not only expensive but are frequently inoperative or malfunctioning. On this basis the under signed are requesting that the city . . . pay for the lighting of the . . . tennis courts. Ap propriate rules should be set up as to use on a first come- first used basis and the length of time people could play when others are waiting. . Our request is submitted on the basis ot successful pro grams now in operation in Ashland's Lilhia park and on courts al Oregon State col lege." ' At Oregon Stale, they said, four , courts are provided, a simple switch-box is used lo turn lights off and on as need ed, no time limit rule is in effect, lights are replaced by the college, and no charge is made to "anyone." Ashland Courts In citing Lilhia park, the petition stated that two courts are lighted, simple switches are used for each court, and the Ashland police chief re ports "having no real trouble with abuse of this service to the community." The petitioners quoted the Ashland light department in reporting the cost of the Lilh ia park tennis facilities. The maximum cost per day for lighting the courts is 16.8 cents, it was reported. At this rale, the members said, the power cost for the lights sev en hours per day, 365 days per year, would be only $61.02. The petitioners concluded, "The successful operation of these two systems leads us to believe this service could, and should, be made available lo the citizens of Medford on a free use and free access basis without the need of direct su pervision." The documenl was signed by more than 50 local rest dents, many of whom are members of the Rogue Valley lennis club. The commission agreed lo obtain further information. Data has been requested from the school district on the cost of such lighting, but "hasn't come back yet," it was slated. Question Figures Robert Haworth told I h e commission that he questioned the figures submitted in the letter. A check with Ashland city officials produced doubt as to the validity of the statis tics. The consensus was If this particular item was favored by the parks and recreation group, it might tend to set a precedent In allowing special, and limited, groups the r inht to facilities, paid for by the public. Special Feat Director Haworth said ap proval of this item might "es tablish a policy" for special fees to certain groups. Russ Jamison, commission chairman, told the commission that the group should make arrangement directly with the school district. Perhaps a group price could be obtained, he noted. Herb Partridge, commission member, inquired if the courts arc used primarily by young people or If adults use the courts. It was decided that participation was probably In all age groups. Final action on the agenda item was to "table It" until the next regular meeting. LET FREEDOM FLING!
