Thai The People May
THE LITHIA WATER SUPPLY
Due to the fact that the complete written re
ports of the engineers are not yet available, The
Tidings is of necessity compelled to alter its original
plan in the presentation of the water problem «to the
people of Ashland and discuss features for the next
few days wjiich were to have been considered later
after the most important projects from a financial
standpoint, were thoroughly considered.
Today we will take up the proposal to spend
$15,000 for the construction of a Rew pipe line which
will bring the Lithia water and other mineral waters
from their original springs into Lithia Park, Ash
land’s magnificent and cherished public park.
- •
•
•
•
This proposed expenditure will not be included
in the general water bond issue. The màyor and
council, after a thorough discussion of the various
projects, thought it best to eliminate the Lithia water
pipe line from thè remainder of the projmsed bond
budgt, and instead, issue special obligation warrants
of the city if the voters should sanction the construc
tion of this new pipe line.
So the Lithia water ppie line improvement will
be placed before the voters as a separate measure iu
this fashion:
“ Shall the mayor and council he authorized to
spend not to exceed $15,000 for the construction of
the Lithia water ppie lin e!”
•
•
•
•
So far as this newspajier is concerned it has not
hesitancy in recommending to the voters their ap
proval of this project. Nor has it any fear as to the
verdict of the people at the general election next
month.
.
Go where you will, up and down the Pacific
coast, and when you hear the name of Ashland men
tioned ro , too, will you hear of this city’s Lithia
,water. The names Ashland and Lithia Water ane
svnonomous. •
m
The people of Ashland have spent hnndreds^of
thousands of dollars in the construction and improve
ment of Lithia Park. The park was named after
¿he Lithia Water which has brought Ashland its
fame as a summer resort city. The proposal t(? har
ness the Lithia water and pipe it down into the pub
lic park was the most important part of the original
park program. Men with vision saw the value of
this park and mineral water project. And their
dreams have more than been fulfilled.
At the present time the Lihtia water pipe line is
in a deplorable state. There are innumerable leaks.
The flow of this health-giving mineral water in the
several public fountains in the park is at best un
certain.
Unless the present pipe line is replaced, next
summer it will he Lithia park i# name only, just
as it was for several weeks during this past summer.
When hundreds of tourists come into Ashland daily
next summer inquiring about our Lithia water we
will have nothing to offer them .except lame excuses
.unless this pip eline is replaced early this spring.
•
•
•
•
This is not propoganda. It is the simple truth.
.All of you remember just a few months ago when
the flow of mineral water was stopped within Lithia
park. Many of you will recall the complaints of dis
gusted and disappointed tourists and visitors. Com
plaints were lodged with the Chamber of Commerce.
Complaints were lodged with the city officials. Yes,
and even The Tidings received a number of caustic
letters from departing visitors who wanted to know
what was the- matter with Ashland.
The water department, under Superintendent
Hosier, did everything within its power to save Ash
land’s reputation. Temporary repairs wer emade,
hut they were in no wise satisfactory.
Next summer, under the same conditions, it will
be a repetition of the same unfavorable story unless
a new pipe line is constructed.
The people of Ashland are rightfully jealous of
, the reputation of their Lithia park. They are proud ’
of the Lithia water after which the park is named.
The sum of $15,000 is small, indeed, compared to the
reputation of Ashland and its most cherished attrac
tion.
It would be an act of mercy, so far as Ashland’s
reputation is concerned t oeliminate the name Lithia
from the pRblic park rather than permit the same situ
ation to prevail next summer as preailed during the
past few months.
" But this condition is not going to continue. We
have the word of our city engineering’ staff and our
water superintendent, Earl Hosier, that the pipe line
must be replaced. We have our unfortunate experi
ence of the past summer as concrete proof that some
thing must be done.
• That is why the people of Ashland are going to
register an overwhelming vote in favor of this pro
posed expenditure, The sum of $15,000 is a trifling
sum compared to Ashland’s future as & tourist oity.
