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.

temporarily insane at Grants Pass.
Ic came to Woodville April 15 and
