Problems Facing Gold Hill Discussed at City Meeting City Chamber Is Revived in Gold Hill; 26 Join Gold Hill The Gold Hill Chamber of Commerce, inac tive for 11 years, was reacti vated Monday night at a spe cial meeting called by city of ficials to discuss city prob lems. The chamber was formed as a result of determination that Gold Hill was facing develop ment problems. Officials said it is hoped the new chamber will play an active role in de velopment plans for the city. A chamber was first estab lished In Gold Hill in 1910. In 1049 it became inactive, ac cording to A. A. Walker, past president. 26 Members . Twenty -six people joined the reactivated organization at the Monday meeting. They elected C. Norman Gail, own er of Gail's Gold Hill market, president. Dick Abbott, assistant man ager of Cogswell's market, was elected vice president, and Ernest H. Cooper, owner of the House of Mystery, was named secretary. Cooper is former mayor. Donald A. Morrow was elected treasurer. He is owner of Morrow's Hardware store. Fred Jeddeloh, H. S. Deuel and A. A. Walker were named to the board of directors. There is a possibility that two more directors will be named at a later date. The chamber indicated its activi ties would not be confined to the Gold Hill area. It is hoped some people from surround ing areas will join. Small Gathering af Education Program Tiller-Drew -Only 18 per sons turned out for the panel discussion at the Lights on for Education program at the Til ler school Legislative measures com ing up before the next session of congress were discussed by a panel of (our. They were Hlllard Lillgren, Mrs! Lucia Snyder, Guy McOe, and Elmo I'leht. Argyle Matthews was moderator. Following a lively discus sion, those present turned In ballots marked yes or no whether or not they approved the measures. And all present were asked to write their congressmen. Matthews, school pi iiu ipul, felt the meeting failed in that such a small percentage of the families of the community turned out to be informed on measures vital to everyone. ROAD WIDENED Applegate Valley-A small county work crew employing two caterpillars has complet ed widening andOstraigliten lug of the lower section of the Carbury riQ-J) By MARY KELL Gold Hill Correspondent Gold Hill-Business men of Gold Hill and vicinity met with city officials and mem bers of the city planning com mittee Monday night. During a special session of the city council, Mayor Milton Stein metz gave a report on prob lems that he said confront the city. The population decline dur ing the period 1950 to 1960 is a matter for concern, he said. It dropped from 619 to a re vised count of 608. The de crease affects the amount of state allocated funds on a per capita basis to the city for revenue on gas and liquor. This in turn affects the prop ty owner's taxes. He listed as an important problem the low valuation of property in Gold Hill com pared to other cities. Steinmetz named factors that he considers vital if Gold Hill is to progress. Among them were the need for a wa ter filtration system; control of possible air pollution; more businesses and industries to encourage people to build and buy homes within the city limits of Gold Hill. Relative lo the economic phase of development, he stressed the benefits to this area in regard to the Winne- mucca to the Sea route which he said probably will come down highway 234 and cross the Rogue river by way of an overpass at the railroad tracks at either of two proposed sec tions to intersect it with the cloverleaf across the river from Gold Hill Urges Support He also urged the support of the Santa Fe railroad's ap plication to obtain control of the Western Pacific railroad. He said both the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific rail roads have made applications before the interstate com merce commission to call public hearings on the propo sals in different slates. He explained it is important to maintain competitive rail service. This he said would be accomplished if the Santa Fe is successful. Steinmetz recalled that Gold Hill was a distributing point for business when he first came here in 1913. The Bradcn gold mine and others were operating under full ca pacity conditions. An apple packing plant and lumber yard were other successful businesses. He reported that the indebt edness of the city at the pres ent time is $1,500 remaining on the bond issue that fi nanced the city fire truck. This sum will be paid off in full January 1961. After the mayor completed his report, H. D. Force, chair man of the city planning com mittee conducted a question and answer period, followed by discussion and a straw vote among the business people. Force said, "the city has been standing still for some time. If we stand still too long we are going to go backward." He commented on the build ing sites that are available overlooking the Rogue river and valley. Fishing along Uie banks of the Rogue river in Gold Hill is taken for granted by the old timers, he said, but for the newcomer Is one im portant attraction. The group favored Donald Morrow's application to the stale liquor commission to op crate a liquor agency in Gold Hill. This will be a boost to the city's per capita revenue on liquor. A majority favored a pro posal to tear down the pres ent city hall, and in its place construct a new building that would house a city hall and library on the present city hall grounds. They also agreed that selling mime ex tra lots at this site to help with the building expense would be a good idea. Turned Down The first proposal to dis pose of (he old city hall and property and build a new li brary and city hall on prop erty down town was turned down by the group. Frank Suklifte, manager of the Gold Hill Ideal Cement plant, suggested that scientific tests be made by experts at various locations in the area to determine if cement dust is a factor in possible air pollu tion in the community. He as sured the group of his cooper ation in this natter. Keith Sherer, assistant state types of tests and procedures that would be used over a pe riod of several months, tak en at different intervals under various circumstances to de termine content of air pollu tion, if any. Sherer said ' it was neces sary for the council to request the state by resolution to make tests of air pollution in this area. The council inform ed him that a resolution had been made several months ago. The sewage disposal plant is adequate for a population of 5,000 people, city officials said. Force said the water is good and the supply adequate at low cost to water users. Due lo an agreement between the city and the cement com pany, the latter pumps the water supply for the city at little cost to the cily. Those favoring a fillration water system maintain that the city would have "nicer water." An actual vote was not taken on this issue. Investigates Cost Steinmetz reported that he had been investigating the cost for a proposed water fil tration system on the basis of a combination revenue and general obligation bond Cily officials pointed out that it would be up to the peo ple to vote for or against a bonding issue if an election were called. They stressed that before any bond election could be called, the council would have to have an engi neer explain the estimated costs. City officials reported that there is a possibility, that the Southern Pacific property along Second ave. and Fourth ave. may now be purchased by individuals. Persons inter ested should contact the rail road company. The group approved a sug gestion that the Southern Pa cific be allowed to carry out tentative plans to place trail er houses for temporary use for workers. Sewage and wa ter regulations would have to be enforced.

He said broken pipes oc curred in several vacant houses and homes where householders had gone out of town without cutting off the water. Residents who plan to leave their homes during cold wea ther, and property owners of vacant houses and apartments are asked to have water cut off. Steinmetz said city em ployees will shut water off for residents at the location of the city cut-off at the property line if notified to do so. It is the obligation of the property owner to see lo it that water is cut off and pipes and tanks drained lo avoid damage, he said.
