Large Part of Pipe Laid. Improving the Phone System.
To date there has been laid over
13,000 feet of the water mains In
the streets of this city. This Is very
nearly one-half of the entire amount
to be laid. At tbe present rate of
progress the pipe will all have been
laid by the first day of July. A
month will then be left for the test
inr of the pipe and the refilling of
the trenches. '
So far the testing; has progressed
without the finding of any serious
flaws. One section of the pipe had
to be taken out and replaced as the
pipe was cracked, causing a leak. As
far as the work done by the con
tractors la concerned It has been
highly satisfactory, none of the
joints leaking even when the pipe
was subjected to a pressure of as
high as 200 pounds to the square
inch. The contractor has to put tbe
pipe In so that there will not be any
serious leakage under a 100-pound
pressure. The higher pressure was
put on by the city officials to test
the pipe.
Yesterday a plug that was placed
in the end of one of the mains blew
out and for a little while there was
something doing In that Immediate
vicinity. The pumping plant was no
tified as soon as possible and the
water was shut off, although before
... was stopped we street was flood-
ed.
A force of men Is engaged at pres
ent In refilling the trenches In whlcb
the pipeline has been tested and this
work of refilling the trenches will
be continued as rapidly as possible.
Today the mains on D'Anjou
street and other streets on the north
side of Seventh and west of the rail
road will be tested.
Seventh street mains are to be
tested soon so that the work of re
filling the trenches on that street
may be finished as soon as possible,
so that the trenches will be tamped
properly and the earth properly set-!
tied before the grading for the pav
ing of the street Is undertaken.

Chairman.
George A. Patterson, the Medford
representative for the Pacific tele
phone company, Is putting forth ev
ery effort possible to Improve the
service in Medford and in valley
points. When the new switchboard
Is In position and operating very
nearly every line In the Medford
service will be tested daily. Espe
cially will this apply to all profes
sional men's offices and the business
houses, which will be called every
morning. Extra caution will be
placed on all police and fire lines.
Inese lines will be tested by calls
three times dally.
The red-light slgnat spoken of a
few days ago in the columns of The
Morning Mail will also be used as a
fire signal and when a fire alarm is
turned In the red light will be
Hashed.
Further Improvements In the val
ley service of the company have been
made at Central Point. There are
seven lines out from Central Point
and there are 60 of these suburban
and rural patrons that Is, 60
phones on these private lines which
are maintained by the patrons and
are connected with the main line for
a charge of $1 per year, but this ser
vice has hardly been satisfactory,
and now Mr. Patterson has taken the
matter up with them and has ar
ranged to Improve the service In var
ious ways. There will be a central
operator employed by the company
at Central Point and free switching
will be given with Medford and a 15
cent charge with Jacksonville. In
order tp bring about this service It
has been necessary to Increase the
annual rental to $3 for each phone,
in the place of $1 as now charged.
Nearly all the 60 patrons have
signed the new contracts.
The operator will be at the switch
board from 6 In the morning until
6 at night, and then, after an hour
for lunch, she will be at the board
again until 8. This continuous ser
vice during the day will give the
farmers an opportunity to talk with
Central Point and Medford business
men during the noon hour.
These Improvements ought to be
appreciated by the patrons and un
doubtedly will be, and while It Is
good for them, It at the same time
will add new business for the company.
