it was with the written agreement that it lie used for pas
sengers, for the benefit of the public.
The R. R. V. railroad has erected a uuiiuing, a pan 01
which is used as a freight depot, the balance ns stores,
which are rented. There is a restaurant and a nursery of
fice, but no place for the passenger to stand or sit. Meals
are sold and trees are sold, but no tickets.
If the Southern Pacific will only lease its right of way
at a dollar a vear, we will all go into the business of erect-
u,-.i.u fnr rent mi the eitv's Diuiii thoroughfare. But
it won't to the rest of us.
The lease and the permit were evidently obtained under
false pretenses, for the public hasn t a lnokin al tins 'Me

These figures are nearly double
. i . , .... . :
those of a year ago on n mil oi me reaseu rates ijui, m
,.fCi.ft last winter, bill not nearly what they should be.
Aiildi.nd. with no more inhabitants than Medford, has
water receipts from three to four times the size of Med
f..v,l. The fact that the (Iranile City has a belter water
a,,nr,lv docs not account for the difference in receipts
for the water departments oMIic two cities. In June Ash
hind's water rentals at a lower average rale than those in
effect in Medford, totaled $2100. Medford totaled 71.
a difference of over $1700, due to poor management.
Whether il is incompetence in the water department,
or defective measuring apparatus, or some other excuse,
the fact remains that Medford realizes less from water
than any city its size. The rates are high enough, but con
sumers are not forced to pay for the water actually sup
plied. About a million gallons of water is pumped a day in
Medford in summer. This is supposed to be sold at 10
.nts ner 1000 trillions, which would be an income of about
$100 a day. Instead of Ibis, the actual income is $20, or
2 cents per 1000 gallons. "What becomes of the balance.
Why is it not collected
Take one instance which (lie shows the management : A
business block pays from $.") to $K a month for water. But
little water is used. There arc no dentists, barbers or oilier
large water consumers in the building. The owner alse
has a good-sized residence, a large family and a lawn,
which is kept green through constant use of water. The
water rental al his home was $1.2" for June and he used at
least Ion times the ipianlily of water used in the block.
Take most any lawn that is kept green. Examine the
water bill, look at the meter. Yoii will see the discs fail
to revolve. This shows where pari of the trouble lies. But
it does not explain nil. Why arc not these meters inspected
and kept, in repair?
No individual or firm would run his business as the
city runs its water department. If private ownership
obtained, water used would be paid for and water rentals
would o(tial those id' Ashland. Why is water used not paid
for liowY Why is it not ehargeiW
Municipal ownership of a lighting plant proved a fail
,;ure in Medford on j tint id' the inefficiency and incom
petency in those trusted by the city to manage it. Private
ownership is not a failure, simply because business met hods
are applied.
Municipal ownership of waler in Medford has always
been a failure, for the same reason that lighting was a
fizzle. But there is no good reason why il should be. 1 1 is
not a failure in Ashland, in Baker City or other towns the
size of Medford. Have Ihese places any more brains or
ability or honesty than Med ford I Why, then, can Medford
not secure efficient management of municipal affairs
If with the present inexpensive waler system, income
sulticictil to tiav expenses cannot be realized, bow ean Ibe
municipality hope to make hot li ends meet mulct- a far niort
expensive plant with many limes the investment? If tin
city cannot secure and retail water at a profit from a
stream in the heart of the cilv, how can it expect to front a
stream 20 miles away?
It is up to the municipal anl horil ics anil lo the water
department to prove capacity and ability by running tin
present system at a profit, for lite water is here and tin
consumers are here, and the profit should be. If this can
not be done, they should not be trusted with a costly sys
torn, for management which cannot make a small bnsincs
with a proportionately large income pay, cannot make tin
same business with a much greater capitalization and but
slightly enlarged income pay.
