Mayor Reddy's An
nual Message Re
viewsWork of Coun
- cil During Year.
' At Tuesday night's meeting of the
city council Mayor Reddy submitted his
annual report for the first year of his
term a follows:
Mayor's Eeport.
MEDFORD, Or., Jan. 7.
To the City Council of the City of
. Med ford:
." Pursuant to the provisions of the city
Charter, I beg to submit herewith a re
port of the condition of affairs of the
eity.
It k unnecessary for me to go into
details as to the receipts and expend
itures of tho city during the past year,
as the reports of the treasurer and re
corder show those details fully; from
fhoBO reports, however, it can be seen
that thore is now on hand iu the vari
ous funds tho following amounts, aftor
deducting -sufficient to pay all out
standing warrants against the respect
ive funds:
General fund $1422.05
Contingent fund 197.45
Park fund 499.37
Sewer District No. 5 fund 194.94
General sewer fund 394.78
Lateral sower
No. 2, District No. 5 fund 11.73
No. 7, District No. 5 fund 29.S6
No. 6, District No. 5 fund 25.22
No. 4, District No. 5 fund 47.39
No. 3, District No. 5 fund 59.20
No. 1, District No. 5 fund 2.66
Total balances $2884.65
Total Indebtedness.
Against the remaining funds we find
tho following amounts outstanding in
warrants, after deducting the respect
ive amounts on hand in the respective
funds, for payment of warrants:
Lighw and water fund $0215.10
Street and road fund 817.82
Sewer District No. 4 fund 210.83
Sewer District No. 3 fund 281.69
Ilateral sewer No. 2, Sewer Dis
trict No. 3 fund 140.73
Lateral sower No. 3, Sewer Dis
trict No. 3 fund 243.89
Total outstanding warrants. .$7909.46
This leaves the city with a net in
debtedness, in warrants, of $5024.81, to
which must be added the face value and
accrued interest on the outstanding
bonds, aggregating $76,333.34, making
the total indebtedness $81,358.15.
During tho past year, in addition to
the ordinary running expenses of the
city and tho payment of interest, there
have boen expended $5237.50 in pay
bent of a judgment against the city,
and $3244.23 in payment for the city's
op tie tank, or a total of nearly $8500
of unusual expenses, ull incurred prior
to the administration of the present
council.
Income of New Tear.
During the onsuing year there should
be realized from taxes and all other
tourees, outside of bond sales, approx
imately the following amouuts:
City tax, 4 mills $ 7,500.00
Park lax, Ml mill 950.00
Go no ml sewer tax, 2 mills. . 3,750.00
Street lighting tax, Va mill... 950.00
Street and road taat, 3 mills. . 5,700.00
Debt fund (only to be ex
pended in paying interest
on bonds), 4 mills 7,500.00
Saloon licenses 5,000.00
Miscellaneous, fines, etc 1,000.00
Total $32,350.00
This amount should be sufficient to
cover all the contemplated improve
mnts, in addition to the running ex
penses of tho city, excepting, of course,
the larger improvements, for which
bond issues are contemplated.
Supply of Pure Water.
The principal problem confronting
the city at the beginning of this ad
ministration, and whk'h will continue tn
be tho paramount isRiie until disposed

Barkdull Withdraws
From Race for Coun
cilWho Aspirants
For Office are.
All ehanco for aspirants for city of
fices closed last night and only those
who filed petitions have a ehauce to get
into trouble. Harry Angle has evident
ly abandoned his offorts to elect a now
mayor, so that he mny again be chief
of police, for no effort has been made
to invoke the aid of courts to mandamus
council or recorder, and Medford has
in issed some more advert ising by not
having two mayors to fight over the
offico.
The Socialists have a full ticked nom
inated, but no otlior political organiza
tion has. The fight for place in the
eity council is principally a personal af
fair between tho various contestants,
the personality and popularity of the
candidates being tho determining fac
tors. Councilmanic Candidates.
In the first ward the candidates to
be voted upon aro J. H. Fitzgerald, the
"Big Chief" of the Jtedmen, who is
manager of tho Rogue River Electrical
Construction company, and P. E. Mer
rick, tho well-known orchardist. John
R. Simmons is tho Socialist candidate.
In tho second wurd, Dr. Louis Bundy,
the well-known and popular dentist, has
been induced to make the run, J. E.
Barkdull retiring in his favor. II. O.
Wortmau, tho butcher, and J. W. Wil
son, the Socialist, are his opponents.
In the third ward, Councilman W. V.
Eifert will make the race at tho in
stance of friends. F. A. Bliss and Er
nest Walters, Socialist, will be his op
ponents. For Other Offices.
Benjamin M. Collins, incumbent, has
only one opponent for tho job of re
corder Ferry Stewart, Socialist, and
the chances favor Collins' election. For
eity treasurer, there is not much doubt
that Lee L. Jacobs will again count the
city's cash. John A. Smith, Socialist,
is his opponent.
JAPAN IS TOO BUSY
TO THINK OF FIGHTING
PARIS, Jan. 8. Tho Echo de Paris
today prints an interview emanating
from an "authorized Japanese source"
with the object of showing that Japan
has so absorbed the maintainence of
Asia that war with America is impos
sible. Tho entire attontion of Japan
is occupied with China, and Corean de
velopments. China has just dismissed
a number of Japanese instructors and
replaced them with Germans. The Man
ehnrian sit nation is full of complica
tions, China demanding the immediate
integral application of the treaty of
Portsmouth, which would deprive Japan
of the possibility of exercising an effi
cacious influence in Manchuria.
WOODMEN OF THE WORLD

EXPERTS 1ST
AGAIN TESTIFY
Thaw Defense Springs
Surprise -Subpoena
Alienists.
NEW VOKK, Jan. H. The defense in
the case of Harry K. Thaw sprung itH
first surprise of the second trial to
day iu announcing lhat it had issued
subpoenas for several of the expert wit
nesses who testified for the prosecu
tion at the first trial a year ago, when
district Attorney Jerome applied fur
a lunacy commission and made affidavit
that in tln-ir opinion Thaw at the' time
of the iuiptiry was suffering from an
incurable form of insanity. These .same
doctors, however, had previously testi
fied on tin witness slaud, iu response to
Jerome's famous hypothetical ipiestioii,
that they believed that Thaw knew
what, he was about when lie killed
White. This move is intended by the
defense as a block I .t t he pins, nit ion
in putting the.se same 'doctors on the
stand, ami is taken ,y miiiic as showing
the (leterininat ion that Thaw shall not
be convicted even with the danger of
staying iu the asylum for the criminal
insane, at Mnttnuau, as the nlternali w.
If successful in Oils, the defense WoyM
force the trial of Jie case strictly on
Thaw's mental condition iu tho sum
mer of !Hio and this would force ,b
none to apply for a lunacy eomiui.-eion.
and Thaw 's lawyers are eonf i.b-nt of
liis ability to make piod his claim of
present sanity before a lunacy board.
Only two tentative jurors were secured
this morning.
