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.
