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.
According to school offi-

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.
