-r- THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1909. r r MONEY BACK IN WATER RENTALS City County Will Refund in Water Amount Paid for Extending Mains Along Streets. One (if the most important sub jects the' people of Mcdford have keen called upon to decide is the charter amendment permitting the application of the Huneroft aot to extension of the wuter mains. Under this amendment it will he possible to extend the mains to consumers throughout the city, the money they pay in for the cost of the extensions tut be refunded in water rentals. In accordance with this plan, the city council Tuesday night passed the following resolution "Be it Resolved, by the city coun cil of the city of Mcdford, that it is the intention of this council to issue to each property owner who shall pay any assessment on account of any water main, a certificate therefor, which shall he receivable in payment for water at any time thereafter used upon said premises for the full amount of said payment, including any interest." . As the city has no funds, the pres ent plan has been devised to enable everyone to secure water. At pres ent only about a third of the possible consumers are connected, and it is essential, if th interest on the bonds is to be met, that as many consumers ns possible be secured. It is of vital interest to the wel fare of the city that the charter amendment be voted favorably upon.
