With a population increase
from 1 1,000 to 24,000 in the
past 20 years, Medford has
been botli fortunate and frus
trated in trying to ease the
growing pains experienced by
one of the fastest developing
areas- in the northwest. Now
with an estimated increase of
32.000 predicted for the next
20 years we have the oppor
tunity to plan ahead for an or
derly expansion into the type
of modern community in
which we want to live.
Many of these plans have
already been set in motion by
the dedicated men and women
serving on committees and
commissions as well as the
trained stall members on the
city payroll. The mayor, as
n representative of these peo
ple, must be well versed in
what they have been doing
and what they are planning
for 1 he future.
Having served practically
six years as a councilman
working with these people I
feel 1 have Ihe qualifications
to step up into the office of
mayor to help implement
some of these ideas as well
as introducing new ideas to
assist in the orderly and eco
nomic expansion of our city.
Downtown Planning
I feci t hat lack of planning
in the past has placed our
rimvnUnvn area in a situation
that linds them physically un
prepared in some sectors to
cope with the influx of shop
pers from Ihe ten county area
mat looKs upon meuiorn as
its economic hub. Wilh Med
ford recognized as Oregon's
number two market, there is
lit'lc doubt in my mind that
a cooperative effort on the
pari of the merchants and the
city can soon remedy the
growing pains I hat are caus
ing ihe ills in the core area.
I want to work with and
encourage the Chamber of
Commerce committees and in
dividuals who are devoting
their eliorts toward enticing
new industry tn our rily. It is

Here we are fortunate to have

These are a few of the pro

Medford accord me the honor
of being their mayor.
