Tidings Procures
This statement has been questioned in many
quarters, and it ia our desire nt this time to set the
voters of Ashland right in this regard.
¿»Your general taxes will not be increased- The
major proposal on which you will vote specifically
specifies that the interest, principal and all expenses
, of the water improvement must be paid out of the
net receipts of the water department.
‘n. Th*8» °f course, will mean an increase in your
water rates. With one or two exceptions, Ashland
today has the cheapest water rate of any city of over
.3000 ¡teople in Oregon or along the Pacific coast. It
is only fair and equitable that the rates lie increased.
The bond issue provides that succeeding coun
cils cannot change the method of paying off these
writer bonds. In other words, if you vote.for this
issue the city must pay off the bonds out of the net
reciepts.
It is our conviction that water is a commodity
which must be sold just the shine as food and lights
and. any other peceagities. In this respect we believe
you will agree with us. And it is (A this theory that
we believe the only just and equitable method of
paying off this proposed water indebtedness is to
hate the water consumers nav it.
