Murphy offering the Report from the county county purchase of the 41) sanitarian's office recardliiB a acres on onge roan, jnrnwiy mosnuilo problem in the area known as the Jackson Counly Posse grounds, and suggesting that the county investigate the possibility of developing the property as a new fair grounds site. Murphy, of 2956 Falrvicw Place, president and general manager of Pinnacle Or chards and Packing company, obtained the property when the Posse went out of exist ence. It Is supplied with city wa ter and Is accessible in all di rections to the public. The club house; containing a carc- ' taker's quarters; 20 box stalls and 20 tie stalls, a large hay barn and n grandstand that seats 3,000 persons are still on , the property. Bugguli Option County Commissioner F.d Taylor suggested that the county take an option on the property If the "price Is right." He stated that it is go ing to become increasingly difficult to obtain property within the area neighboring tha city. He said he did not favor developing a fair grounds or a baseball park un til the ones under develop ment are completed, and com mented that he saw no addi tional need at the present time. With the approval ot the three members of the court, County Judge Earl Miller an nounced that the matter south of Medford neighboring Ihe county farm revealed that the situation Is now under control. Receive Complaints The county court and the sanitarian had received a number of complaints, partic ularly from the miniature golf course in the vicinity. Inspec tion revealed that a number of pot holes, not the irrigation pond, were the breeding grounds. Insecticides were used In treatment of the breed ing holes by George Runyon, mosnuilo control officer, Thursday atlcrnoon. The mosquito problem has not been serious this season, largely because of the cooler weather, Sanitarian Orle Moore said. The staff also has been able to treat the danger areas at an earlier dale. Jf Ihey can bo treated as soon as the wrigglers appear, he ex plained, it is much easier to combat Ihe problem. Once Ihe mosquitoes are on the wing the problem Is multi plied many times.
