Roberts, consulting engineer for Medford in the matter of water supply, will leave this morning with a surveying party of eight men for the proposed Intake of Medford's Mount Pitt water supply. The party will probably be out two weeks. They will first locate definitely the In take, which will In all probability be on the upper Sllnger ranch, which ranch the Fish Lake Water company recently purchased. From there the pipe line will be permanently locat ed to the reservoir, near the city. The party consists of W. J. Roberts, who will himself run either the tran sit or level all the time; Lewis Swlt zer, L. J. Mead, H. Pennington, Ed Brooks, Harry Bossum, Harold Har vey, George Jackson and James Burch. The work of surveying this line at this season of the year is not one eagerly sought by engineers, but Mr. Roberts Is anxious that no delay In the starting of actual construction work shall be chargeable to him. On the other hand, the contractors are as eager to have things shaped up for action as are the people of Med ford to secure the water as quickly as possible. The reservoir site has been select ed and surveyed. It will be on the McAndrew hill, one and a half miles, from Medford. There are live acres in the tract contractod tor, and Its. elevation Is 210 feet above the city. This site Is to the north of the Arm strong hill and Is said to be a most, desirable location.
