MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON SUNDAY, JANUARY S. 1963 Procedural Misunderstanding Kills Whittle Avenue Graveling Project Because of a procedual mis understanding, a project to gravel Whittle ave., passed by the Medford city council about two weeks ago. was in effect killed by action of the group Thursday night. City Manager Robert Duff at the previous council meet ing has recommended against the grade and gravel project, saying it was contrary to ad ministration policy to permit sub-standard improvements in the city. He said if anything the street should be paved. The council, however, pass ed the measure. Former May or John W. Snider the next day returned the ordinance unsigned to City-Recorder Darell Huson with an attached letter. Snider said he did not wish to veto the measure but chose to express his support .of the administration's position by withholding his signature from it. He said it was his under standing that without an ex press veto the unsigned meas ure would automatically go in to effect in 10 days. City Attorney William Mansfield Thursday night told the council, however, that by attaching the letter to the measure slating his objections, Snidpr had, according to wording in the city charier, actually vetoed the bill. The council was then faced with the dilemma of either voting to over-ride Snider's Social Security Office to Move to Riverside Location The Medford Social Secur ity administration will move to its . new location at 1017 North Riverside ave. Monday, Jan. 7, Edward B. Jacobson, district manager, has an nounced. The new building, at North Riverside ave. and Liberty st, is solely occupied by the local social security office, having been designed and built for its use. The growth in the social se curity program, plus the' in creasing population in south ern Oregon, have made neces sary greater space for the Medford office, which serves residents of both Jackson and Josephine county. The Medford social security office opened in 1850 and in 1951, the first full year of operation, processed 1,317 claims for Old-Age and Sur vivors Insurance benefits. In 1961 the office processed 3,255 claims; and although the tabulation for 1962 has not been completed, it is expected to equal or exceed the prev ious year. In addition to taking and developing new claims for re tirement, survivors and dis ability benefits, the local of fice answers several hundred inquiries each week, issues new and duplicate account numbers and assists indi viduals in checking on their social security record. Jacobson added that al though the office is being moved to North Riverside ave. and Liberty St., the mailing address, post office box 1068 and telephone number 773 7348 will remain the same. unintentional veto, or see the , voted to: Whittle ave. project die. -Reinstate a dance license Mansfield told the group it j for the Cellar club, Main would take a two-thirds vote j and Bartlett sts., subject to of the council to pass the three conditions: a 1:30 a m. measure.
