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.

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.

Broken Pipes Cause
City Water Waste
Gold Hill Broken pipes
during the freezing weather
caused needless waste of
water for the city of Gold Hill,
and a great deal of expense
for some property owners, ac
cording to Mayor Milton
Steinmetz.
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
