now.
Control of congress Is at stake
In the election next Tuesday and
hope springs eternal In the trad
democratic breast..
W ith tye
election only one week away,, a

The seven democrats whose

I f the democrats can take

Eleven of these republican-

AN OPBN LETTER TO TH« V0TBR8
.. CharlesH. Pieree, who iff'to be Ashland’s next
mayor, in strongly in favor of the purchase of the
additional 200 acre-feet of water from the Talent
Irrigation District. He* was a member of the city
council which purchased the original 600 ocre-feet
of water and at that time favored the purchase of
even more water, believing, as he did, that this
would for all time help to solve the city’s water
problem.
Mr. Pierce, in a signed‘statement to the people
of Ashland, today gives a lucid and concise state
ment of what can be expected through the purchase
of this additional water. What he has to say should
prove of real interest to the people in helping them
to arrive at a decision before they enter the polliug
booths next Tuesday.
His statement is as follows:
hi the negotiations and final purchase of the
600 acre-feet of Hyatt Prairie water from the Talent
Irrigation District I was on the council from start
to finish and had an important part in all the pro
ceedings, a fact of which I am still proud.
In the early negotiations, five years ago, one
member of the conneil thought we. should purchase
only 300 acre-feet of the Talent water, but the bal
ance of the council then favored 400 acre-feet.
A year later when the subject came up for
final adoption the copneil was a unit in deciding
that 600 acre-feet should be the minimum purchase,
and more than one councilman favored the purchase
of 800 acre-feet or even 900 acre-feet.
Except for the fact that this purchase of Talent
water was to l»e financed by the issuance of short
term notes lwr the city and not by a long-term bond
issue, I am sure I should have voted to purchase at
least 800 acre-feet of. Talent water.
By the terms ’o fthe contract with the
Talent Irrigation District, the city of Ashland was
placed oh an ekact equality w i|h every rancher and
water subscriber, and whenever a shortage occurred,
such as that of the pgst <ummerr the. water should be
4>ro rated with aa preference to any water user.
With only OQh Aere-feat signed for, and Actual
detfverieirpncc in a while, as we shall hope, pro
rated ta three-fourths the amount due, Ashland
would rceive only 400 w r e - f e e t , and that is too little,
but with 800 acfe-feet signed for an a similar pro
rating, we would Receive 600 feet o f actual delivery
in an exceptionally, dry year, t
.
Ashland will, never at any time have a gallon
too much Water in midsummer, and this is the last
cheap water the city can. ever hope to obtain. It is
certainly worth $22,000 to hold this 200 acre-feet
additional of Talent water in reserve. It will be a
great mistake not to bfly it now as it should have
been included in the original purchase.
That we immediately improve bur water distri
bution system and that we gradually bring the en
tire city under meter control seems of equal im
portance with the purchase of this 200 acre-feet
of Talent Water, without which, as Engineer Dillard
has conclusively shown, the building of a dam in
the canyon would be of little benefit.
Vote for all the above measures Nov. 2 and
save all this work being done over again. Save a
lot of valuable time of the new council. Save the
cost of more special elections. Let us get down to
business at once for water development and set
aside all personal feelings. It must be done later
if not now.
I pledge to yon an efficient business adminis
tration, and that in any event the expenditure of
money x you see fit to vote will be safeguarded by
hard, conscientious work of the mayor and council.
