Leigh said that the effect of the bill would be to abol ish the sheriff's office as it is known today. All police pow ers, he said, such as criminal law matters and enforcement of criminal law, would be transferred to the responsibil ity of the one agency, the slate police. The Jackson county sheriff said that in his opinion the bill has within it seeds that could sprout into a police state. The bill also would transfer the tax collecting duty to the office of the treasurer, Leigh said. Abolishes Constable The same measure abolishes the office of constable, trans ferring his duties, functions and powers in civil matters to the sheriff and in criminal matters to the state police. The committee by unani' mous vote decided to oppose the measure. Other measures considered at the meeting were House Bill 2020, opposed by' Mrs. H. P. Bosworth Jr., and House Bill 1263, which Bob Cun ningham, a member of the chamber committee, ex plained. Mrs. Bosworth stated that House Bill 2020, which pro- Tourist Promotion Of Area Discussed The tourist, convention and recreation committee of the Medford Chamber of Com merce has started work on what is expected to evolve as the 1963 program to stimu late and encourage participa tion by all residents in ad vancing the scenic and recre ational values of Medford and the Rogue valley.

H. called for reports from a nunv bcr of sub-committees. Write Communities Dale Hcarrcll reported that the chamber had written 37 communities, comparable to Medford, inquiring about con' vention facilities, including a multi-purpose building which would cater to conventions. He said 27 replies had been received and nine had report ed the availability of such fa cilities. Working with Hcar- rell are Bert Prce, Chet Irish and Don Whalin. Chamber Manager Don Mc Neil said it is not usual to find a large convention build ing in a city of less than I 200,000 population. He added that it was not until Portland developed a real convention business that it began to plan special convention facilities.

He also rec ommended a rerun of films on the southen Oregon coun try on television and develop ment of a better liason with Jacksonville as one of the historic attractions. He asked that tours and visits to mills, packing houses and other points of interest be planned in advance of the tourist season.

She said she opposed the bill in its entirely on the ground that this money would be spent for protection which no agency of government could perform or deliver. She indicated that a new bill will soon be introduced which would authorize state funds for ' natural disasters only, which in her opinion, would be a wise appropria tion of state funds. Cunningham explained that House Bill 1263 was a pro posal of the interim commit tee on local government and was concerned with annexa tion by cities. He said the bill, if passed. .would create additional pro cedure for annexation of con tiguous property if the ter ritory is developed for urban purpose and its fire protec tion, water supply or sewer service is provided by the an nexing city. The bill, he said, would re quire the city council to form ulate an annexation plan to be presented at a public hearing, and that seven to 60 days fol lowing the hearing, the coun cil might enact an annexation ordinance. All this could be accomp lished, Cunningham stated, without petition. Such an or dinance, however, would be subject to referendum or spe cial election if 25 per cent of the registered voters in the territory were opposed. Prfesentation of the meas ure was followed by lengthy discussion by the chamber committee and Chairman Rob- committee. The committee ert D. Hcffernan Jr., suggest- gave it endorsement wtih ont ed that it be considered again dissenting vote. at the next mtetiug. The bill is suported by the League of Oregon Cities.
