10 A WEDNESDAY. JUNE 26. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Regional Roundup y CUv Twitchtll Regional Editor It wa the city of Talent rather than the South Talent Sanitarv district which re ceived approval from the Ore gon Slate Sanitary authority for Federal money toward construction of a sewage treatment plant last week. Some readers were a little confused at to which entity was involved. So were we, And judging from the head line in another valley news paper, its editors were too But upon investigation we learned that the city of Talent had applied for a Federal grant to assist in financing enlargement of its sewage treatment plant so that it can handle a population of up to 10,000 persons.. The Talent councilmen have two things In mind: the growth of Talent itself and the probability that the South Talent district's sewer system, when installed, will use the city's treatment plant. The Federal grant would cover about a third of the cost of the project. The city, we understand, has been gradu ally building up a fund, which would cover anotner tnira, leaving Just one-third of the cost to be raised through bonds. 0 w "',M'?i. r1" ... , Fraaway Signs Approaching Grants Pass from the southwest on high way 190, one can see that the businessmen along old 09 on the south side of the Rogue River have done pretty well In their negotiations with the state highway department to keep traffic off the freeway. As far as we could see, there isn't a single sign on the south side of Grants Pass to indicate that the freeway even exists. The signs state quite clearly that the way to go to Mcd ford is to take the old high way. And then when one drives into Grants Pass, the signs guiding traffic onto the castbound lanes of the free way say nothing of Mcdford. They simply read "Freeway." Tidbits . A. Louis Day, our Trail correspondent, showed up last week with a story under his arm. He had read in this column about the fact that It took eight days for some mall to travel from Central Point to Mcdford, Mr. Day ex plained, and he was a little fearful of what might happen to mail coming from Trail to Medford-ovcr four times the distance. , ; FIRE HAZARD Tall dry grass constitutes a serious fire hazard during summer months. Such a condition on vacant lots and other property is in violation of Gold Hill city ordinance 122, which requires owners to cut down any tall dry grass, weeds or other growth. Individuals are responsi ble for any damage to someone else's property as a result of a fire.
