Board of Realtors President Warns of 'Racketeers' in Home Repair Business
With the spring home re
pair and improvement season
here, Medford area home own
ers have been warned by
Keith Bates, president of the
Medford Board of Realtors,
to beware of racketeers op
erating in this field.
"The eagerness of many
home owners to repair winter
damage to their residences or
to take advantage of the fa
vorable spring weather in
making additions or improve
ments is commendable," Bates
said.
"As Realtors know, home
maintenance is an essential
factor In conserving property
and neighborhood values and
standards. And as long aa our
home owners contract with
our many established, reputa
ble repair and maintenance
firms for services and prod
ucts, results will be good.
"Unfortunately, howe v e r,
spring always brings a return
of fly-by-night operators who
annually 'take' thl public for
millions. It is against this lat
ter group that home owners
should be on guard."
Batea said he was following
a suggestion made to all Real
tors by the national organiza
tion, the National Association
of Real Estate Boards, in is
suing the warning.
According to Bates, home
improvement rackets flourish
in a wide range of services
and products-landscape shrub
bery, house sidings, patio con
struction, and "bargain" wa
ter proofing jobs on damp
basements.
While there is no hard and
fast rule that may be used
by home owners in distin
guishing between the claims
made by the racketeers and
reputable firms, Bates cited
six simple steps that have
been developed by the Fed
eral Trade Commission from
its experience in investigating
home improvement frauds.
They are:
1. Before signlfig for any
offered service or product.
get comparable cost estimates
from at least one competing
firm. Reputable merchants
are quite willing to have this
done. 'Hit-and-run organiza
tions will immediately think
of scores of reasons why the
home owner should sign up
with them immediately.
2. Obtain names and ad
dresses of previous customers
from the soliciting firm and
contact these customers. Note
in particular how long they
say the work or product has
been satisfactory.
3. Make sure the firm has
a place of business. Many fly-by-night
groups operate out
of temporary headquarters
such as a hotel room
4. If the product or service
is said to be guaranteed, find
out what is guaranteed, any
conditions that Ve attached
to the guarantee, and who
will make good on it If neces
sary and where he can be
located.
5. Be doubly suspicious
and ask many more questions
if the price of the service or
product it a rt deal lewer
than the going price in the
Medford srea for similar serv'
ices or products. There are.
of course, real bargains. But
many so represented are no
more than bait.

Highway 230 Will
Open This Week
Salem Two Oregon high
way routes will be opened to
travel for the first time this
season this week, according
to Slate Highway Engineer
rorrest Cooper.
The two, East and West
Diamond Lake highways, Ore
gon 230, and Mt. Hood Loop
highway, Oregon 38, were
closed last November with
the onset of winter snow
storms.
Oregon 230, skirting the
northern boundaries of Crster
Lake National park, will be
opened to through traffic at
8 a.m. May 15. The Mt. Hood
route will open from south
of Parkdale to the junction
with Highway 26 just east of
Government Camp May 17 at
8 a.m.
State highway maintenance
crews broke through the drifts
on the Diamond Lake route
last week, followed by break
ing through the snow on Mt.
Hood. Snow up to 12 feet deep
on the roadway has been re
ported by the crew at Hood.
The extra week on each route
before the opening is neces
sary to allow cleanup work by
the maintenance crews and
drying of the roadbed, Cooper
said.
Crews will being clearing
snow from the McKenzie Pass
Highway 126 May IS, Cooper
said, but no opening date can
be set at this time.
The routes are closed each
winter by the highway de
partment when light traffic
and heavy snowfall makes it
impractical to carry on snow
removal operations. Alternate
all-weather routes serve the
areas during the closures.
