There is now on hand seventy cords
of wood valued at $5.15 per cord or
&NJ0.50, also fifty-nine electric light
poles at $2.75, each or $162.25.
In addition to the foregoing I desire
to call your attention to the fact that
an order haa been paased by the coun
cil charging the General Fund with
$160.00 per month from Jan. 1st, 1903.
for light and water furnished the citv,
the same to be credited to the Light
and Water Plant on a paying basis.
One important matter for your con
sideration ib the value of city warrants
They should be kept at par, and It
seems that to provide for the payment
of interest annually would make them
a deaireable investment. I also recom
mend that an incidental fund be created
out of fines or aome other cash resource
to meet Bmall expeneea that often occur
i i the city's business. I would further
reoommend that the electric light ser
vice be extended ae rapidly as possible
and would invite the citizens to com
pare tho coat of electric light to that of
oil, and would suggest that a careful
revision of the rates and charges for
meters be made.
Tho prosimt charge for installing and
rental on meters seems to me too high.
In this connection I would any that I
considered the rate on water too low.
In consideration I wish to say to the
citizens of Medtord that notwithstand
ing all the advene criticisms, the light
and water for city purposes have coat
them much less than if a private com
pnny had been furnishing them, and I
sincerely hope that the noxt council
will have the arnest support of evory
taxpayer. Tho light and water la your
property and needs patronage to make
it a success. Thoroforo you want to
elect men whom you want to trnst
tho matter and then help thorn all you
can,
Roapoctfully, submitted ,
J. U. Wilson, Mayor.
