(UPI) Revenues Increase At Airport During Year, Report Shows The annual report of the activities at the Medford Mu nicipal airport during the 1961-62 fiscal year was re leased recently by Airport Manager Gilbert J. Gutjahr. Total current revenues re ceived from users of the air port last year amounted to $49,864.47, according to the report, compared to $46, 185.90 for the 1960-61 fiscal year. - Expenditures for last year totaled $38,395.21 compared with $40,960 for 1960-61. About 63 per cent of the revenue last year came from basic users of the airport property. Included in this category are funds received from landing fees, building and ground space rentals, fuel sales and tiedowns. 'Satellite Users' Some 37 per cent of Ilia revenue came from what the report termed "satellite users." Included in this cate gory are funds derived from convenience concessions, food services, ground transporta tion, real property develop ment, and sale of miscellane ous materials A decrease in landings and take-offs at the airport last year, compared to 1960-61, was noted in the report. There were 54,112 landings and take-offs in 1961-62, while some 58.301 were logged during the previous year, according to the report. This variation was due to a decrease in the use of civil aircraft. Air carrier traffic and military air traffic were roughly the same as the pre vious year, Gutjahr explained. Decrease Noted A decrease was noted, too, in the number of passengers carried by the commercial airlines from and to the muni cipal airport last year, com pared to 1960-61. The total number of passengers carried last year by the three airlines was 50,928, while some 54.100 were carried the previous year. Pounds of mail, express and freight, carried to and from the airport, however, a 1 1 showed sizeable increases last year over 1960-61, the report indicated. BUYERS BUILDERS BE SURE TO GET YOUR TITLE REPORTS FROM THE . . . Board Studying Method of Timber Cut in Northwest Portland - A special board appointed by Edward P. Cliff, Chief of the U. S. Forest Serv ice, to study methods of calcu lating the allowable cut of timber on National Forests of the West conducted technical discussions in Portland last week. Conferences, including talks with timber industry representatives, will continue through this week. - The committee, which con vened Monday, will begin drafting a report of its find ings at the conclusion of the technical discussions. Chairman Kenneth Davis, head of the University of Michigan School of Forestry, said the group expects to sub mit its report to the Forest Service within six weeks. President Kennedy has asked Secretary Freeman for a re port by Oct. 15 on possible in creases in National Forest al lowable cuts to assure a con tinuation of timber sales at or beyond the record levels achieved in the most recent quarter of 1962. Practices Considered Davis said the- committee is considering current practices and possibilities of revisions of procedures in calculating allowable cuts on 42 National Forests where timber demand supply relationships are crit ical. These forests are in Cal ifornia, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. Conference participants have included representatives of the Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Bu reau of Indian Affairs. Be sides Davis, review board members appointed by Cliff are Philip Briegleb, Director, Southern Forest Experiment ! Station, New Orleans: Lewis Grosenbaugh, pioneering re-, search in forest management, Pacific Southwest Forest Experiment Station. Berkeley; and John Fedkiw, forest eco nomics division, U. S.

City Delays Awarding Paving Contract, Bids Are Too High By a 6 to 2 vole, the Med- j and Equipment company had ford city council Thursday night moved not to award a contract for a paving project on Newtown st. for at least two more .eeks. The action was taken after City Manager Robert Duff told the council lhat the low est construction bid submit ted had exceeded the engi neering department's esti mate by 13.48 per cent. The engineering depart ment had estimated the proj ect at S4.933.65. The low bid was submitted by M. C. Lin ingcr and Sons Construction company with an offer of $5,598.85. Tru-Mix Concrete bid $6,644.15 Duff said the city engineer ing department has reviewed the total paving project, however, and has reported that due to certain favorable engineering aspects, it may still be possible to stay with in the quoted cost of S8 per square foot that was esti mated to the residents on Newtown st. Councilman Al Bradford, in making the motion to post pone, said that this was a "very sensitive contract," and that in fairness to the New town st. residents, they should be Informed of the situation. Duff said it was the city's policy to notify the people involved when a construction bid on a project exceeded the estimated cost by 10 per cent or more. Placed on Agenda The matter will be placed on the agenda at the next council meeting Aug. 16. The council voted to ac cept deeds and execution of covenants for Highland dr. extension from Dr. Ray L.

Part of Hanley Road To Be Closed For Construction A portion of Hanley rd. in Central Point will be closed for about a month starting this month because of construction in the area. The Jackson county court Friday signed a letter to Peter Kiewit Son's company grant ing the firm permission to close Hanley rd. between Beall lane and its intersection with Taylor rd. in Central Point, to through traffic. Crews arc engaged in recon struction of Hanley rd. from Central Point to Ross lane. The closure is necessary to al low for construction of a box culvert at Jackson creek. It is expected that the job will take five weeks once the re quired steel is delivered. Refuse Consideration Robert J. Carstenscn, coun ty engineer, said property owners in the area refused to consider a detour, and that the closure would not inter fere to a great extent with postal service, fire protection or school buses. It was hoped that the work would be com pleted before schools opened. The letter from the court to the contractor slated that Peter Kiewit Son's company be responsible for notifying the post office, schools, fire departments and the county road deparlment. as well as other agencies effecled by the closure, at least three days be fore the road is closed. The contractors are also responsible for posling signs and maintaining barricades in the area. A copy of the lot lor was to be senl to the stale highway department. n YOUR LOCALLY OWNED TITLE COMPANY 1 121 East Sixth Street Phone 773-4551 TITLE INSURANCE ESCROWS Jackson County's Oldest and Most Reliable Title Compony Established 1885 Reminder Issued by Rural Department Talent Jiges Conner, chief of Ihe Talent Rural Fire de partment has reminded resi dents of the Talent area lhat support of the fire depart dent is essenlial for mainte nance and insurance of the rural fire truck, telephone and records.
