Several months ago, Mayor James Dunlevy appointed Trav is to head a committee of nine Medford residents to study the capital improvement needs of the city. The committee held several meeting and recommended to the City Council that capital improvement priorities be ac complished in two phases. The first phase included projects that should be completed in the im mediate future, and the second phase recommended projects to be accomplished within three to five years.

When the city s administration first oc cupied the former Jackson Coun ty Courthouse in 1930, the city hall was "less. than efficient," and it is now extremely diffi cult to operate as it should, due mostly to its physical size. Each time a new office is needed, it is constructed by moving a wall, which lessens the space of ex isting offices, Travis noted.. The speaker concluded his re marks, by impressing the audi ence with the need to institute an austerity program in the city government. The city gov ernment has taken steps to im plement an austerity program, he said, by instructing Gilbert J. Gutjahr, assistant city man ager,. to study ways to reduce the cost of Medford city govern ment.' . PAGES 1.TO 8 Tribune 1963 ' ."'"' ' " - (." " '',-:. -! -.,: t. ' .',... . HIT.
