• Would Supply Water to
All Hotels
Overwhelming sentiment favor­
ing the placing of Llthla water at
accessible points in the buelnese
district and in the hotels was ex­
pressed at a nesting in the cham­
ber of commerce last night. Mem­
bers of the park board, chamber
directory and a delegation from
The Lithians attended.
W ith Chairman Frank Jordan
o f the park board voicing main
opposition, it was voted as the
sense of the gathering that Llthia
water should be made available
cither in the Plata block directly
opposite the chamber of com­
merce, or at the entrance to L lth ­
la park, a few fyet away.
George Dunn, state senator, de­
clared it would be splendid ad­
vertising to make the mineral wa­
ter more accessible for tourists.
Homer Billings declared the peo­
ple of Ashland should have the
water to use freely, and he wanted
it supplied to the hotels.
H. L. Claycomb declared he had
talked to all hotel men in the.eity
and they are unanimous in want­
ing the Llthla water made more
accessible. He thought a fountain
should be placed at or near the
Plasa block and also near the pub­
lic library.
Gey Oood recalled the fact that
the L lth ia water had been piped
at eonsiderable expense to. tho
Southern Pacific depot . where it
was made available to railroad
travelers, and he felt the same
consideration should be shown au­
to tourists.
A. E. Kinney said that Ashland
advertises Itself as the Llthla City ,
and then when visitors come here
they have a hard time finding the ,
Llthla water. He felt it should ,
be made more available to tour- ,
lets and citizens generally.
O. H. Johnson expressed him- ,
self as being very much in favor ,
of having the Llthia water avail- ,
able to all who might want It.
,
Frank Jordan said that the
Llthla water needs to be handled f
in a K ientiflc manner and be j
felt that it would be harmful to ,
pipe the Llthia water around the.
city promlscously. He said it al­
so would be harmful to ice the
mineral water.
