Rogue River - A special
council meeting was called
Tuesday at city hall in the
council chambers.
The council agreed to pur
chase seven and a half acres
from Ray H. Powell, Third
St., Rogue River, for approxi
mately $1,500, to be used for
the location of another res
ervoir. The site purchased is lo
cated at the north end of the
city. It includes the area of
the present reservoir, and the
additional property acquired
by the city can be used for
possible future development
of the city. Another reservoir
is definitely needed now, and
the council indicated it will
be built large enough to take
care of future growth of
Rogue River.
The old reservoir was re
modeled in 1951 by Harold
Salter. This reservoir has a
150,000 to 200,000 gallon ca
pacity and can serve only
about 200 people. The new
one is to be built on a knoll
and will be at a height to al
low better water pressure for
all users in the city of Rogue
River.
Study Power
A committee was appointed
by Mayor John Leyen to
study further the matter per
taining to the easements and
apply to PP&L concerning
electric power for this new
project in the area of the new
reservoir. The cost of the
new project will be further
discussed and checked with
an estimator.
The next regular council
meeting will be Thursday,
April 11 at 7:30 p.m. in the
city hall, Broadway street,
Rogue River.
At another city council
meeting, held earlier in the
month, a letter was read by
city recorder - treasurer Orva
Jean Cruise to the council
from the State Highway de
partment acknowledging a
special request by city for
state aid for repair of the
streets. If state aid is granted,
the work will be done some
time in 1964. This would in
clude from Broadway to Sec
ond st., and including Second
St. over to the grade school
property.
Chairman of the water com
mittee, Arty Laws, reported
on the urgent need for more
water meters. He said it would
take approximately five doz
en meters to replace those
now out of order and meter
those who do not have meters.
He also reported that the in
crease in revenue by install
ing these meters as soon as
possible would enable the city
to improve on the water facil
ities.
Foy James, chairman of the
street committee, reported on
streets that were scarfired,
graded and rolled recently.
He said that they were pack
ing down satisfactory. Per
mission was granted to pur
chase culvert tile to be in
stalled at the intersection of
Broadway and the newly com
pleted Fifth st. and when
completed this street will then
be open. Patching is now be
ing done on some streets as
weather permits.
Mayor John Leyen reported
that ballots will be sent with
water bills to give the public
a fair opportunity to express
their opinions of the purchase
of property for a city park.
This topic has been a debated
issue since the city had to
sell the old park near the riv
er to the Highway Department
for Interstate 5. A portion of
the money received from the
property was set aside to be
used at a later date for a new
city park as soon as a suitable
location could be found.
Chang Age Limit
Fire Chief Donald Campag
na requested changing the city
fire ordinance to change the
minimum age limit of volun
tary fire members from 21 to
18. Discussion was held on
how much authority a fire
marshall has in dealing with
fire hazards of private proper
ty.
Fire department chairman,
Orvis Reeter told the group
that the old Marquette fire
truck is now being put back
in service and that he would
check into the cost of tank
and fire hose.
He said there is a possibili
ty of getting used fire hose
from the old Magnolia mill
adding that he would check
into the matter.
Roy Strickland, chairman of
the police committee, men
tioned that five stop signs and
three speed limit signs were
needed. Councilmen author
ized purchase of the signs
Mayor John Leyen remind
ed councilmen that there will
be a cleanup day in Rogue
River on Saturday, April 6
He urged residents to place
their debris in front of their
I homes to be picked up.

City Will Maintain Beach
By MARY KELL
Mail Tribune Correspondent
Gold Hill The Gold Hill
city council took action to
make an effort to preserve
the beach within the city lim
its at the swimming hole
along the Rogue river near
the bridge. Various steps were
taken in order that the pub
lic may continue to enjoy that
scenic area on the banks of
southern Oregon's famous
river.
The site of the old swim
ming hole and beach is a fav
orite to the youngsters and
oldsters for swimming, and
other out door recreation dur
ing the spring, summer and
fall months of the year.
In the winter months this
area has weathered many
storms which have often left
the beach in bad shape. How
ever, the city maintenance
department upon order by
previous councils, has each
year cleaned debris and put
it in shape for the summer
months. It was pointed out
that this is actually a recrea
tion area for the townspeople
and every effort should be
made to keep it that way.
Council action was brought
about by different factors: It
was reported that persons
from outside the city limits
have been hauling gravel
from the area without per
mission, thus leaving large
holes on the beach. Several
pick-up loads were reported
to have been seen leaving the
area. Due to this council mem
bers voted to authorize the
Police Chief, Bill Young to
supervise any hauling of
gravel from the area.
In order to control the situ
ation it was agreed by coun
cil members that only resi
dents within the city limits
be given the priviledge of
taking gravel from the area
since they are the ones paying
taxes here. The council voted
to have a gate installed to
block oft the beach area and
B 5
Regional News
permits to haul any grave,
must be obtained at the city
hall from the recorder, Ferd
Jones. It is hoped by city
officials that the above action
will put an end to the gravel
problem.
The council turned down a
request to operate a gravel
business for commercial use.
The council was of the opin
ion this would ruin the swim
ming and recreation activity
in the area for the public, if
gravel operations were per
mitted there.
Since overnight camping in
the area is prohibited, block
ing off the road to the swim
ming hole, it is hoped, will
end this problem also.
In other action Ferd Jones,
city recorder was authorized
to be designated as budget
clerk for the city.
Police Chief Young was au
thorized to attend six classes
on police school work in con
junction with the League of
Oregon Cities to be held dur
ing March at Medford.
