Condor Company Gets Re
turns From Sale of Sur
plus Water Outside of
City Limits
Why should Med ford build a lnrgor
pipelino than needed from Koguo river
uud allow tho C'oud ir eoinimny to sell
the surplus wutor that Medfor does
not' useo or need and havo nil the rev
enue from sale of water outside of city
limitsf
Answer First: Beenuec tho Condor
company mnst havo pay for its pumping
charges, aud gets its from tho sale of
surplus water outside of the city lim
its. Second: If Medford in this way gets
a cheaper proposition and lower water
rntes, why not permit the Condor com
pany to sell this surplus water that
the city will not uset
Third: Medford 's prosperity depends
on the prosperity of the surrounding
country, and all of the surrounding
Y country needs water for irrigation. Then
V why not iucrenso Medford 's prosperity
ill the manner proposed by the Condor
i company, especially since the irrigation-
' Ula outside of tho city limits will pay
tho minuting charges, thus affording
Medford cheaper water rates than nuy
e"fi. gravity proposition?
Is Cheaper Proposition.
Why should tho city of Medford
huild tho water system ns proponed by
flm Condor eoinnanv and allow the 'ou-
, dor company to havo 73 per cent of the
nrofits instdo city limits!
Answer First: If you get cheaper
water proposition in that way, why not
do itt
Second: Jt is known that tho gravity
Bvstom under city management will cost
ti itv .'10.00(l per year for 30 years,
11 sides' the operating expenses.
-It is nlso known that with n new
city water distributing system in oper
ation with no provision made or money
mailable for extensions, that the city
mnnngeiiient is not paying operating ex
nensoB. much less interest charges on
ti,,, ,t..l.l
Now, nndor theso circumstances, if
u gravity system is built and the city
assumes $:iiin,(H" more debt, with no
monev provided for new city exten
sions' will not tho property owners of
tho city have to pay this enormous tax
ation of over 30,000 per yenrf
Third: If the city water system will
be self-supporting, as it will under the
Condor proposition, and the properly
owners treed from tho extra burden of
taxation under the Condor proposition,
then the people could well afford to
give the. Condor company nil thej.rofits
and a bonus besides.
Hut tho city only gives them 75 per
cent of the profits and the city council
fixes the water rates, thereby control
ling the amount of the profits.
Am Electric Lighting Rates Higher?
I.iirhtini? rates are lower than they
wero under city management. Under
city management lighting rates were
lu cents per wilowatt: under Condor
management they range from 10 cents
down to 4 cents per kilowatt.
The fact that some people pay more
for lighting now tliiin they did before
ia simnlv nn illustration of Unit man
ngement of the city nnd shows why it
went in debt operating the light plant
and how it will go deeper in debt trying
in nnerate tho water system.
It is a well known fact that tho light
meters were out of repair and worn out
and did not register correctly, just ns
is the case with a good ninny water me
ters now.
The rule of the Condor company is
to investigate promptly any compia.ni
f .oi.nnsed overcharge, test
nt r-hnree and refund
promptly any overcharge.

Fish Lake Property Is
Under Option to Eastern
People-Want to Sell
It has been nbout two weeks since tho
Moil was requested to give gome infor
mation about the responsibility nnd
guurnntee behind the Pish Lake water
proposit inn. Hut these (j nest ions are
still unanswered.
The people have :i right to know,

he attacked in the eonrts.
Mr. Hamilton has claimed that the
Fish Luke Hitch company wilt guaran
tee tho litle to the water. Tim people
have the right to know the nature of
that gunniiitec. If it is not in writing,
it is absolutely worthless.
Fish Lako Wnter Option.
Another reason why it is important
is that tho Pish Luke company hns
boon for the last five years trying to
sell nil its property and rights, and its
whole proper! v is now under optinu
to eastern people. If a sale is made
the Pish Lake Water company would
immediately bn dissolved. This would
leave the people as protection against
litigation a guaranty if there ever was
one from a defunct corporation. If the
city would get into litigation over the
water right and lose, it would bo nn
able to recover a penny,
Iu Cnso of a Sale.
If a snlo is made by the FiHh Lake
Water company, of rourso the proceeds
would not be kept in tho treasury, but
be immediately distributed nmong the
I stockholders, and the company would
be without, property and without assets
of any kind. Is this not the reason why
Mr. Hamilton makes no guarantee! The
question now is do the people of Med
ford wnnt to give Mr. Hamilton th
opportunity to make huge profits on
wooden pipeline that is threatened
with litigation, nnd to have for indrm
nitv only his word that the Pish Lake
Water compnnv will stand behind him
and especially in view of the fact that
the Pish Lake Water company may se
