Newspaper Page TextB TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1961 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. Ex-Medford Mayor Believes Prospects Bright for Future By GREG NOKES Mail Tribune Staff Writer Earl C. Gaddis, the deal of Medford mayors, believe.' that Medford's prospects for the future are bright as lont as the city keeps from over doing any one thing. Gaddis, still spry and alert at 81, speaks from experience Tic was a mayor and city councilman here during the worst financial crisis in the city's history. The crisis start ed in 1912 when the bottom fell out of an orchard specula tion-inspired boom. Gaddies was elected to the city council in 1919, and to the mayorality post four years later. It was during this pe- ; riod that the city was sched- uled to pungle up nearly sivs million to repay bonds that had been floated by the city during the boom years. , Over-Speculation It was over-speculation in the fruit industry that caused that financial collapse, and Gaddis fears a recurrence the crisis should the city and valley ever again overextend themselves in one particular facet of their economy. 1 Gaddis, the oldest living ex mayor of Medford, is now re tired and lives alone at 815 East Jackson st. He was ask ed to relate several highlights of his term of office as a part of the Mail Tribune's recogni tion of the city's completion last Thursday of 75 years as an incorporated city. Gaddis is one of four past I-mayors who are still living. mayor from 1934-37); H. S. )euel (mayor from 1941-43); tnd Earl Miller (mayor from 1955-57). Miller is now Jack jon county judge. All in One Building When Gaddis was mayor, the citv hall, fire station and police department were all lo cated in a two-story building at Sixth and Front sts. Gaddis recalls that in his first year on the city council, it met more than 100 times to try and work out somo solution to the city's financial problems. (The city council now meets only 24 times a year.) Much of the blame for the financial collapse, according to Gaddis, rested with the pro moters of the Rogue valley In those days. He explained that these pro- motors would send advertise ments all over the country and hold special exhibitions in the east which led to the false impression that money could be made overnight in the orchard business. Flock to City Easterners flocked to the city and purchased thousands of acres of orchard property. Many bought sight unseen. In a period of about three years, from 1909 to 1911, the city's population jumped from slightly over 2,000 to nearly 12,000. It was during this time that the city floated nearly ml i l ti $1V2 muuon in ounus iu 11- nance extensive street, sewer and water improvements. But, when the speculaters In orchard property discover ed that they would have to wait at least seven years be fore they could make any money on their crops, they left. It wasn't long before the city's population dropped to less than 6,000 people. When the crash came many people were forced to give up their property for non-payment of debts. The collapse was nearly complete. ' By the time Gaddis joined the city administration in 1919, things were so bad that the city had to borrow $40,000 just to pay its own back taxes on property it owned. Consolidate Debts Regarding the bonded in debtedness, Gaddis said the city elected to consolidate its debts and then refinance them with a certain amount to be paid off each year. It was the only answer at the time, he said. As a result of the financial trouble caused by bonds prior to and during his administra tion, Gaddis said a charter amendment was adopted by the people requiring that all bonds be serial bonds. In other words, a certain amount had to be paid off each year. This amendment is still in effect. But finances were not the only problem facing the city during those days. There was 1 1 If V f l OLDEST EX-MAYOR Earl C. Gaddis, 81, the oldest living ex-mayor of Medford. is shown looking over a codv of the new Medford city code.

Move Started It was in 1923, during Gad dis' first year as mayor, that a move was started to get Big Butte springs water into Med ford. Eventually funds were voted for the first gravity water line from the springs, and construction started in 1925, with the line being com pleted two years later. It was during this same pe riod that Medford City Man ager Robert A. Duff first came to the city to work as a drafts man in the city water depart ment. Under Gaddis, the city's first board of water commis sioners and first planning commission were established. Gaddis appointed the first members to both.

Gaddis does not pretend to take full credit for these, however, and points out that they were realized only after a lot of hard work by a lot of people. Gaddis' service with the city did not end in 1925 when he retired as mayor. (He did not seek reelection.) The next mayor appointed Gaddis to the water commission and he served there until 1930. Since then, as a private citizen, he has made it a point to know what is going on and why it it is going on. He said the city could never had made it through those years of crisis as well as it did, had it not been for the "100 per cent all the way" backing of the people of the city. When those hard times were past, he said, the people "were ready and eager to go on to bigger and better things. : Jan. 9, 1894 G. W. Has kins Jan. 12, 1999 H. L. Gil key April 22. 1899 Garl T.

Snider Questionnaire for Marriage License Applicants Argued Salem - IUPD - The Senate Judiciary committee Monday heard a pitch for a bill that would require those who ap ply for an Oregon marriage license to answer questions pertaining to their mental health. Two doctors "with the Ore gon Psychological association said the questions would be asked over perhaps an 18 month period and "samplings" taken during this time from abole 1,000 couples. Not All To Participate Not every couple who ap plied for a license would have to participate but research teams would choose at random those who have to. Under SB270, if they refused, they wouldn't get a marriage li sence. Dr. Bernard I. Murstein, a marriage research specialist, said purpose would be to com pile the data and study causes of divorce. He said sample questions could be: "Was your home broken by divorce before you were age 18?" "Do you con sider yourself a nervous per son" and "Do you like to be on the go all the time?" Sex Mentioned Dr. Vincent Glaudin, asso ciation president, gave the committee a sample of a pre pared questionnaire. It con tains such questions as: "Do you like to tell jokes in which sex plays a major part?" "Do you like to be in lova with somebody of the oppo site sex?" "What kind of man or worn, an would you like to be stand ed on a deserted island with for one day? For five years?" Dr. Murstein said the asso ciation would not object to a state agency screening the questions if it was felt tha ones relating to sex were ob jectionable. Sen. Melvin Goode (R-Al-bany) said it might drive peo pie to other states to get married. Suspects Quizzed In Death of Child New York -IUPD- Police and FBI agents across the country today questioned suspects in the slaying of 4-year-old Edith (Google), Kiecorius, but tha 59 -year -old toothless dish washer they sought may be hiding right around the corner. New York police assigned 500 men to dredge through the Bowery and other areas where drifters gather. They said it Was highly possible their iprime suspect, London born Fred J. Thompson, might still be in the city six days after Google was lured from the front doorstep of her uncle's apartment buildine;, ravished, and beaten to death in a shabby, $8-a-week room.

Hungry Kids Are Dying In Congo by Hundreds Washincton - OJPI) - The Archie Graber would like you to know that while you are eating dinner tonight, eight children will die of starvation in the Congo. If this information disturbs you, several thousand miles away, you can imagine how it affects the Rev. Mr. Grabe, who is a protestant missionary in the Congo s war-torn Bak wanaga Province. He doesn't read about starv ing children. He watches them die, at the rate of 200 a day, and helps to bury their bloat ed little black bodies. In a world hardened to the spectacle of human suffering it has not been easy for the Rev. Graber and other mis sionaries to c o m m u n icate their sense of shock and hor hor to the well-fed Christians of Europe and America. But the message has finally gotten through, and the wheels of organized compas sion, are beginning to move.
