I THE DAILY TIDINGS PUBLISHED BY THE ASHLAND PRINTING CO. OIOKOI MADDEN OKIEN, M u u fli« Editor ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS OLD NORMAL SCHOOL GRADUATES TO BE WELCOMED I The Old Normal School Building The Lithia Franchise The Daily Tidings after a study of the proposed franchise granting the use of the Lithia water in the city’s springs to private interests for commercial bottling and distribution, sees no particular objection to this plan. In fact, this should prove very beneficial to the city, as it will provide besides ft financial income, a wider distribution of this famous medicinal water, which means that thousands of additional users will be influenced to visit the source o f this water. However, there is one point which should be strongly entrenched in the franchise—so firmly writ ten as to be so plain that there will be no question of its clearness and extent of its application if the oc casion for its use arises. This point is to make certain that the city can at any time use ALL of the Lithia water it may need for sanitarium, drinking fountain and other purposes it may deem necessary or future events may make advisable. Ashland’s greatest asset today is its Lithia water—which is being only partly capitalized—and it is practical certainty that in the future a large tutuita rinm will be constructed here which will bring thousands to the Lithia water health fount. With out any intention ot disparaging the present pro posed plan nor to question in any way the sincerity of the men proposing to finance this enterprise— which we believe to be a puhlio-spirited movement— nor to throw any doubt as to the dearness of the con tract—for frankly we would aot attempt to pass up on that phase—we agree with the eouncilmen that it is a question which should he carefully considered before any franchise is granted. These points have probably already been taken care o f at the franchise contract, for we know Messrs. Butler and Perozzi want the cWy to Have tW ' fult protection, but The Tidings considers it .of sufficient importance to em phasise It and call the need to the attention of those who aro handling the situation.
