Voters of the municipality will he asked to decide upon the following ballot title at the general election to be held November 7, 1922: , "Shall the common council adopt a policy of opening up Ashland creek canyon and wa tershed to further extension of roads and scenic drives, with Btrlct campiug and plcnickng prohibitions, or shall further development of roadways, ex cept such as are needed by the municipal work of the city, be discouraged?" Just what result does the city council expect from the above mea sure! If the voter Is In favor of opening up Ashalnd creek and the further extension of roads ,with pro visions, and votes "Yes," he Is also casting his vote for the discouraging of further developments. On the other hand, if he is aganst the first proposition, and casts a negative vote, he is voting against the dis couragement clause, which will then cause his vote to react favorably for the measure ho wanted to vote against. ' If you vote "Yes," your vote Is counted "No," and If you vote "No" the result is "Yes." Just what Is meant by the measure? It Is suggested that the city coun cil reconsider the wording of the proposed ballot measure and a change be effected before the ambig uous measure be printed man and Howard Warner, county: first day of the drive. fruit Inspectors, and Miss Florence In speaking of the granite sltua- Pool, home demonstration agent,, tion In general, V.

The Ashland city council held a special meeting Saturday night, at which time the bids for sidewalks, curbs and gutters recently ordered, were opened. Only one bid was made for the work, this being by Frank Jordan at 16 H cents per square foot for the sidewalk and 70 cents per lineal foo'. for the curb and gutter, with a charge of $1 per square yard for any excavation or filling that might be necessary. While It has never been customary to make separate charge for excava tion or filling work, the bid Is other wise lower than has been made at any previous time during the pa.U several years on work of this kind, and the council was Inclined to take the bid, but desired that a lump sum he designated for the excavating and filling. The city engineer and Mr. Jordan were asked to go over the ground and see if they could agree on an amount necessary for this work, with instruction to report back to the council before 11:30 to day, at which time the council agreed to meet and further consider the bid. The result of the meeting today was the acceptance of the amount agreed upon, which was $150. The total amount of the contract to be let niately $1500. The matter of whether the city would give any assistance toward the Ashland winter fair th!s year was Utken up at the meeting Satur day nltht. and It was decided to set aside $200 for the fair. If the county would put op $300, the same amount as was donated last year. YOUTHFUL THIEVES AT M.
