Committee Opposes House Bill Which Would Reduce
's Duties
Jackson County Sheriff De-
Armond Leigh spoke in oppo
sition to House Bill 1641,
which would transfer from
the sheriff to state police in
Oregon duties relating to en
forcement of criminal law, at
a meeting of the govern
mental operations committee
of the Medford Chamber of
Comcrce last week.
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

Chairman W. 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.
Suggests Course
Jim Grigsby suggested prep
aration of a correspondence
course for clerks, waitresses,
gas station attendants and oth
er employees to better equip
them to answer questions ask
ed by tourists. 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.
Picture postcards, telling
the southern Oregon story,
ind a weekly feature in a
Elmore . newspaper were also suggest
ed dv ungsDy as ways 10
by Grigsby as ways
stimulate travel, participation
in fishing, hunting and other
sports available in the area.
Coordinated spots on valley
radio stations were also men
tioned in the planning, and
designing of a litter bag with
a map of the scenic attrac
tions printed on it.
Information Signs
H. A. Mauck, reporting on
roadside signs, asked for con
centration on tourist infor
mation signs. The committee
expressed considerable inter
est in the proposal that a
large sign be placed near
the junction of Highways 99
and 97. McNeil advised work
ing closely with the travel
division of the state hiehwav
department regarding plans
in this area.

vides appropriations for civil
defense, would make avail
able $366,675 for civil defense
in the state of Oregon and
that this figure would not
take into account expend
itures which would be made
by cities and counties and
many affected departments of
state government.
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.
