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.

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

members appointed by Cliff

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.
Casterlinc, Walter J. Young
and from the Scottish Rite
Building association.
The institution of eminent
domain proceedings for ac
quisition of part of Lot 7,
Collins Park addition, was i trol tower at the Medford
approved.
In other action, the council
voted to:
-Approve plans and speci
fications for paving an alley
between Fir and Grape st.
which runs from Eighth to
Ninth sts. A public hearing
on the proposed project was
set for Aug. IB.
-Award contracts to M. C.
Liningcr and Sons for paving
projects on East Main st. and
Valley View dr. Funds for
the projects were also estab
lished. -Accept the Fourth Street
bridge as a completed project.
. - Award a contract for an
air conditioner for the con-
municipal airport to Modern
Plumbing and Sheet Metal
company, which submitted a
low bid of $2,071.
Grant permission to Doug
las Oil company to construct
an extra width driveway at
the location of a new service
station on North Court st.
- Continue a request by De
velopers Inc. (Alpine Village)
to install a temporary side

erty on North Central ave. :
The council executive com-;
mittce will meet with a rep

cuss the matter.

was presided over by Mayor
John W. Snider. The coun
cil's next regular meeting i.i

16 in council chambers in

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.
