this line, and since the cessation of
war the scarcity of labor and in
creased cost of material had made
this development practically an im
possibility. The desire of the pres
epi board of council, however, is to
increase the water supply sufficient
to afford an abundance of water for
domestic purposes and to supply all
electric power. He called upon City
Electrician F. H. Walker to give a
statement of the present water sys-
tern.
This, Mr .Walker outlined, is sim-
ply a water system for domestic pur-
poses, not an irrigation system. Un-
der ordinary conditions the system
is sufficient for the purpose for
which it was designated, and with
the exceptions of unusually dry sea
sons Ashland has an exceptionally
good supply. This will not answer
ior acreage purposes, however, and
if that is what is demanded. Mr.
Walker stated, it will mean an i m-
mense outlay, and necessitate the
bringing of water from a great dis-
tance.
Many other citizens expressed their
views and gave outlines of projects
for providing an increase of water
for Ashland and the surrounding
community.
Water
Commissioner
Hosier gave a statement of the pres
ent water system, and expressed his
ideas of the conservation of the
present supply.
In accordance with the expressions

petition, the plans for putting this
matter up to the voters of the city
