Bridge Is Memorial to Massachusetts Soldiers Jf, I Would Bring Wtttr ThrouKh BHli- viuw to I'pper Oowson Hill, bjkI Thence to Anderson Ditch, Insur ing Ample Irrigation Supply. The city council met last night In special session to consider a new water proposition which would re lieve the water shortage here during the summer months Councilman Joy bag been endeav oring to get some line on additional water for the city for the past few weeks, having first considered tak ing water from Nell creek, near i's source, and bringing It across the divide Into Ashland creek canyon. ' While Investigating this scheme, he came into touch with some of the directors of the Talent irrigation ' district, to whom he mentioned the need of water by the city. The result was a meeting of the directors of the irrigation company with the city council and a few citi zens of Ashland last night at the city hall, at which time Mr. Dlllard, civil engineer for the district, told the cc uncll what the Irrigation dis trict ild do In the way of furnish ing water to the city. His statements were to the effect that the Talent irrigation district could furnish water to the city at the same rate per acre that the ranchers in the district pay, that Is, from $95 to $105 per acre. This water would be for Irrigation pur poses only, and "could be brought in through Belleview and along the contour of the bills to the upper part of Crowson hill, and then si phoned across Ashland creek to the old Anderson mine ditch, which would supply practically the entire west part of the city with Irrigation water. After the council had talked the proposition over, they decided that it had sufficient merit to be consid ered, and told the visiting directors that they felt justified In consider ing the matter further. Water Superintendent Hosier was asked for his opinion and said that the city would find the greatest dif ficulty In reaching all the small acreages which are scattered in all parts of the city, but that It would certainly solve the irrigation prob lem if it could be worked out suc cessfully. A committee composed of Messrs. Pierce, Harner, Joy and Superinten dent Hosier wag apponted by the INAN E PASSENGER SHOOTS STAG E I KILLS DRIVER BOY II INTER, WOUNDED BY PAL, LIKELY TO DIE MAKsnriELD. Aug. 22.
