Believing that it has a pnblic duty to its readers'ns well as the
great mass of voters generally, The Tidings, starting next Monday,
will endeavor to give the public every available fact concerning the
solution of the water problem which will lie offered to the voters at
the general election in November..
The people of Ashland are almost a unit in the belief that Ash­
land must have a nmre adequate water supply. They are willing to
vote the required «nn of money to improv^ the municipal water system
if it is their best judgment that the plan offered by the mayor rind city
council is the moat practical and at the same time the most economical.
In this coming scries of articles The Tidings will endeavojr to
answer questions which might now he in the minds of the voters. It
will state the facte honestly and impartially just as they are recorded
in the reports of the engineers and the proceedings of the council.
To the minds o f many of the voters and taxpayers, a bond issue
of $465,000 m ight idem a staggering sum. There might he many who
now feel th at a bond issue of this amount is too ambitious for a city the
size of A shland But the voters are asked to disregard this feature of
the bond issue until the entire series of articles have been completed.
This is one point they should remember at all times:
. ;
This bond ¿9sue wili not increase the general taxes of the
people of Ashland one cent.
.
In due time, din ing the course of this series of articles, The Tid­
ings will explain iiridt tail how and why both the principal and interest
on these w ater bonds can and must he paid out of the net earnings of *
the w ater department. It believes it will he able to convince the most
skeptical th at this can and will be done, and that your general, taxes
will not be increased if you should decide to give approval to this pro­
jected water improvement progAim.
All of us recall*the distressing days of two and three months ago.
In common with tlie rest of the state, Ashland exjierienced an unusual­
ly dry summer. C ity officials were compelled to make restrictions. As
the season wore on these became more stringent until even today we
are perm itted to use water for our lawns and gardens but one day a
week.
•

.
We likewise recall that everywhere about the city the cry went
forth that somethingmust be done to insure this city an adequate water
supply. The demand then was universal. Tb< agitation is still fresh in
our minds. —We ^ m je c a ll how various delegations called upon* the
mayor and city council, urging immediate action.
T here’s another thing we recall, too; a direct slap at the inteUi-
“ Mgke ’em jjjti' the water bonds while th ey ’ro.still.crying tor
water.” a few doubters Urged tire cotnieil.* ‘'After Ashland get* a few
good rains a lot of these people won’t be so keen lor a decent water
system.”
This was an infamous and untruthful indictment against the
common sense and good judgment of the jieople of this city. Residents
of Ashland are proud of their city. They’ve proven their faith and
their loyalty ninny, many times. They stand ready today to vote for an
improved water system if it is their judgment that the solution now
being offered is the proper one. That is why The 1 idings will plac**
all facts before them. It is the people’s inherent right to decide for
themselves. The Tidings seeks only to aid them to arrive at all pos-
