ASOLÀND DAILY TID IN G S
THE COUNCIL’S POLICY
In another part of todays paper will be found a
resolution unanimously adopted at last nights council
meeting. This resolution has more significance than
the usual nrusty, moldy Wlidreas’s and Therefore’s
that adorn customary resolutions that a legislative
body adopts.
• .
In this resolution unanimously, and regularly
paased seven men, all of them well known citizens,
all of ilsem enjoying the respect and confidence of
those with whom they conic in daily contact, all of
them hearing a reputation for honesty and integrity
that is al»ove reproach, solemly hind themselves to
do certain things regarding the future of Ashland, .
provided they receive the necessary consent from the
voters. And now lets see just what these men, pub­
licly declare they will do.
1
First—They go on record, as pledging themselves,
to build, a reservoir for the city of Ashland, and to
make needed improvements in the city distribution
system, at tlje lowest^i^ssible cost, and furthermore
that in the event bonds to the amount of $450,000 are
voted to only issue the amount necessary to do the
job right.
Second—They further pledge themselves,, to give
every possible site in Ashland creek, due considera-
-tion, and declare that they as tax payers of this city,
are just as anxious that the reservoir he economi­
cally and projierly located as the refit of the citizenry.
In the preamble to the resolution, it is set forth
that they have acted only upon the advice of compet­
ent engineers, and from the store of data at their
command. In other words, they have not advanced
one single pet theory of their own. They have not
relied upon their own general, knowledge of the situa­
tion to find a solution for the communities needs.
They have secured the best talent available in order
to get the facts* Having these facts they are ready .
to act In so doing they are but fulfilling the obli­
gation they-assumed when they took office*
~
We commend this resolution to the people of
Ashland. It deserves your most careful considera­
tion. We know from our eon tact with these men
that there never was aunore <cencientiohf} instrument
drawn. We know that the inspiration Sifek o ( it wM^
only that the people might know exactly what woultT
he done, to just what length the members as individ­
uals and as servants of the people, would go to serve
their city. It is a sincere statement, and deserves
your most careful consideration. Read it carefully.
ASHLAND SHOULD BE PROUD
“ If the Southern Oregon Normal school does
not make the substantial growth and success that
we have eVery reason to expect, it will not be the
fault of the people of Ashland.” Concluding his gen­
eral remarks while acting as chairman of the Cham­
ber of Commerce Forum Luncheon yesterday, Presi-

munity con Id expect to have bestowed upon it, by
a man in his position, with the above statement.

he is in* They marked the realization of a commun­

kmwn the fact in unmistakable terms, that when
the proposition is right, when those projects which
stand for the better things in life, come up for con­
sideration, there is a whole soulcd cooperative move­
ment that spells SUCCESS in capital letters. It has
been demonstrated in the past, President Churchill
gives concrete evidence of it, at present, and we know
that it will be ever so in the future.

Yet not quite all the children.
For under one of the oak trees
was a baby carriage in which a
little girl of two lay fast asleep.
And far above her, perched lightly
but firmly in a swaying fork of the j
oak, was a long-legged girl of ,
twelve. She sat where she coul<j j
