DECLARES LICIT METER
CHAW S ILLEGAL
People of Medtoi hereafter will
refuse to pay rent r electric light
meters, on advice their city at
torney. ,
At a meeting tw weeks ago of
the Medford city cou dl, Councilman
W. W. Eifert made i protest regard
ing the practice of I e Rogue River
Electric company In orclng patrons
to pay rent for mete i.
As a result of Elf t's protest the
council empowered 31ty Attorney
Neff to look into thi matter and re
port an opinion. Ts city attorney
filed a report yesten y, In which he
declares the collect! of rent Ille
gal, and advises M I ford residents
to rpfuse in future t my this charge.
The Mall Tribuur )f Medford re
ports the matter as illows:
"Residents of the ity of Medford
who use electricity r lighting or
heating purpor.es n d not pay the
Rogue River Electr company rent
on meters which the ompany Installs
ts measure use of c ents, according
to an opinion filed dth the city
council by City At rney Porter J.
Neff.
Mr. Nerr states tit the proper
method to follow In Is regard Is for
the property owner refuse to pay
the meter rent and ion If the com
pany starts to cut f the lights, to
seek an Injunction straining them
from doing so. Mr Meff states that
If he ts so Instrn d by the city
council he will ac as an attorney
for any property ow t In a tost case.
"As the Rogue IJor Electric com
pany has fully 100 meters In use In
the city for which Ty collect a rent
al of 25 ceijts a urth, the revenue
they gain fiom til source Is fully
$250 a moni'i."
