Fire Department
To Be Increased
The
Accumulative
Effect
of an account with the Cit

one of the (createst Incen

Weekly depoHlUt, added to

(4-QN DEPOSITS J
The city fire department is always
prolific of more or less discussion at
meetings of the city council and the
city water department also comes in
for a share of discussion either
Jointly or severally. There was no
exception to the rule at the council
meeting Tuesday night.
A. II. Connor was allowed thirty
five dollars for damage to his fences
and fruit trees, Incident to the recent
laying of new water mains across his
place near the lower intake in order
to cross Crowson Hill with a more
adequate main. The settlement was
made at this figure at the suggestion
of City Engineer Walker the city
having agreed in advance to make
good any Injury done to his property
while crossing same with the pipe
line.
An offer from Montague California
to purchase our two hose carts for
the sum of seventy dollars was ac
cepted. They cost but $130 when
new and are now useless to the city
since the chemical engine and hose
motor truck were installed.
Announcement was made that City
Fire Chief Percy Grlsez had taken a
two weeks' leave of absence and that
William Meyer waa. acting as substi
tute. The matter of adding a third
fireman to the paid force is under
consideration in order to relieve the
two present employes in this branch
of the city service from remaining
constantly on duty. The volunteer
ranks were added to Tuesday night
by the appointment of D. W. Sargent,
who petitioned to be put on the
force.
The draining of a stagnant pool of
water near the Helman street septic
tank was referred to the water com
missionerswhereupon Councilman
Ashcraft arose with a remonstrance
against charging up to the water de
partment of sewer and septic tank
expenses but the council only
smiled. .
Councilman J. B. Ware has com
pleted a compilation of the city funds
for 1913 and is working on the ex
penditures for the six months period
of 1914. No financial report has
been made public for the past year
and as a result the city fathers have
been somewhat at sea regarding esti
mates for expenditures from the gen
eral fund particularly. When the
compiled figures for expenditures for
the six months of 1914 are made and
a comparison with former years, the
councilmen will be able to tell
"where they are at."
The city recorder's books have
been found correct in every particu
lar and the deposits in the local
banks show the accounts to be ac
cording to the books.
Discussing the forfeiture of prop
erty for improvement assessments In
the city of Ashland before the coun
cil Tuesday night Councilman Ware
stated that the street talk along this
line was wholly out of plumb with
the real facts. ' The facts are ac
cording to Mr. Ware that not more
than four pieces oi property will be
forfeited to the city in lieu of the
payment of assessments. Asked for
a definite statement of the gist of
his remarks in regard to the meet
ing of their payments by the people,
Mr. Ware wrote out the following
"The delinquent tax list upon
street, sewer and sidewalk improve
ments turned over to the sheriff Jan
uary first, 1913, amounted to $12,-
887.90. There . has been paid by
property owners $8081, leaving
$4806 yet unpaid, as follows: Ban
croft, first payments, $1608.06;
full' taxes. $3198.43. Thus, of the
total improvements for which $204,
298 Bancroft (ten payment) bonds
issued, all the first payment (1913)
but $1602 has been paid, over eighty
per cent of the delinquents on that
payment being paid. This is certain
ly a most gratifying condition."
Mr. Ware's remarks were occa
sioned bv the report of a special com
mittee appointed to look Into the
matter of property about to be for
feited and arrange for the city to
take It over at once and thus stop
the accumulation of taxes. The re
port dealt specifically with the trian
gular tract of land at the intersection
of Iowa street and the Boulevard.
This tract belongs to the Methodist
Church South, a defunct organization
so far as Ashland is concerned.
There are against It improvement as
sessments to the amount of $2562.49
which the organization does not wish
to pay. The property would come
into the hands of the city under the
Bancroft Act at the end of ten years,
but In the meantime taxes would ac
crue needlessly. The organization at
Medford, which holds the property,
is willing to give a quit claim deed
to It for fifty dollars and the council
voted to accept the proposition.
The city will now be able to turn
the property at a figure that will Day
for part of the improvements and
place the lot in the handj of an Indi
vidual who will pay taxes on it. Un
der existing conditions the arrange
ment Is very satisfactory all around.
The special committee handling the
matter was competed of Councilmen
Ware and Beaver and City Attorney
Moore.
Crop Heavier
Than Supposed
According to leading orchardists of
the valley, the fruit crop is much
heavier than first reported. Little
damage was done by the frost and
few trees are diseased. Packing will
start in full swing the first of August
and by this time a large amount of
early fruit will have been picked.
The pear crop has increased material
ly in the past month and the pros
pects for a heavy crop are bright.
Reports will be made by the last of
the week by orchardists and at that
time the fruit situation will be talked
over thoroughly.
We
Colestin Excursion
Next Sunday
Colestin will be the scene of the
annual Moose picnic next Sunday.
An excursion will leave Grants Pass
for the springs at 6:50 and stop at
all points in the valley, as has been
the custom on all Colestin excur
sions.
An unusually good time is prom
ised this time as three bands have
been chartered and dancing, box ball,
shooting and tennis are on the pro
gram.), The delightful climate at
Colestin will be a pleasing change
from the hotter valley, and many are
planning to make the trip.
Crater Gets New
Appropriation
The Federal appropriation for
roads in the Crater Lake national
park was fixed at $S5,000. being a
compromise between the house and
senate provisions. Much effort was
made to try to force the bill for
$100,000. but it failed and $85,000
was Hecured. Will G. Steel's salary
was raised from $1,000 to $1,500.
This appropriation will do much for
the condition of the roads within the
park and will mean much to this part
of the country when the tourists be
gin to stop on their way to the 1915
fair.
