The t nfurcetiient of the ordinances

red in tions in the rates which it is
I -uil tor p .b!ic serviie corpor.it ions
to charge for water and lkht iu this
' uas tlie subject cf a nicss.iste
f.om Mayor Smitli to the council at
its regular session last ni-t.
The mayor lias ', een routined to bis
i.ou.e by lilius t, r the pa.-! two
wnks, and was not present when hi.;
i is.-aue was read Thursday niuht. In
t ho doi utiiciit the tua or called alteu
iii:i to the fait that the emutment of
the ordinance had not been followed
bv a redaction in rates as char;:ei! by
ihe water and li:;ht company, and lie
advised a law that would put the new
bed. lie into force. The message
said:
"The question before the city is
'' 1 i ''. is the greater, the city i;oor
'ceiit backed by the ordinances, or the
- .'..liorniu-Oreiton Power Go. and the
two members of the common council
who voted ii-rainst this tfdinani e?
"A law will not exectre itself.
I'here must lie back of It authority
'.'.id some one to execute that author
ity. In this ease we need an ordi
nance with 'teeth' In it. To that end
I reconiiiieii 1 the count il to enact
forthwith au ordinance making it a
i ri're for any officer, attent or em-
cio.e of any toiopanv, corpor.'.t ion or
) tsoii furnishing electric current or
Ikht over any wires Htrunur upon
poles erected upon the streets or al
leys of the city or carried in mains
under the streets of the city whether
such poles, wires and mains are erect
ed or constructed with or without the
lonseiit of the city, to charue, exact,
c"lb ct or receive any holier rates for
electric liuht and current than nr"
fixed by the ordinances of the t iiy,
and also to provide a penalty for any
company, officer, luent or employe
wlio will cut off the supply of cur
rent to any consumer who shall ten
der the charge fixed by the ordinances
of this city."
Suia'iiin.n up the nritunient of his
lenj;thy message, the mayor advised
tlie enactment of such an ordinance
as he had proposed, and, second, the
submission to the people of the pro
position to issue bonds to provide
funds to take over the electric trans
mission lines In the city and for the
installation of a municipal plant for
generation of electric current, or the
purchase of electric current from tlie
company or person that would supply
it at the lowest price.
During tlie course of (tie message
the mayor took occasion to ridicule
the recent proposition made the city
askinv; for a forty-year franchise, and
also to pay his respects to the "char
acter assassins," "slanderers." "franchise-gamblers,"
"crooks," "liars,"
etc., who "are attacking those mem
bers of the council who are trying to
do something for the people. He said
that the attacks did not emanate from
the corporations that were affected,
but from those who thrust themselves
in the forefront.
Following the reading of the mes
sage Councilman llerzinger said "I
resent what is contained in that doc
ument. The man who wrote it is
nothing but an erratic, cheap-skate
polit ician."
Acting Mayor S'trbker rapped for
order, and Councilman Clark moved
to lay the message on tlie table. He
explained his motion by saying "I do
not believe in fostering the candidacy
of any man for mayor, and I object to
the message on two grounds, first,
that a special election as asked for
would cost money and the people will
vote the proposition down, and sec
ondly because this message Is pre
sented to this council simply to get
it Into the press and further the cause
of a (heap politician."
The outcome of the discussion was
the larrying through of a motion that
provided that no part of the message
be considered except such parts as re
lated to the electric light and water
propositions, and the city attorney
was iiiBtrmted to prepare an ordi
nance along the llneg of tin mayor's
recommendations.
The votes of Clark and Daniels
were the only onei recorded against
the enforcement of the ordinances In
question.

True to their word, the lot ul loot
ball boys tame back" and iu a ter
rific encounter on the bi.ti school
giv.inds .low iu d .Medford by a score
of H-o. Grants Fuss won the toss
and Allen those to receive, but the
bnal boys did not find the opposing
i.i.e so yielding as in the previous
game and tlie play see-sawed back
and fo;th In the middle of the Held
for I be first quarter. In the next
quarter Grants Pass succeeded iu
working the. ball into Medford s ter
ritory and on being held in their ad
vance. Webb, the local half and end
booted the ball to Med ford's line
wher,. It was taught and the man
thrown back of the posts by Teel, the
speedy Grants Pass end. giving the
local hoys a score of L'-O at the end
of the tirst half. In the secor.d half
the use of (he forward pass was
pi actually given up by the loial hots
who now resorted 'o straight toot
ball, and a consistent and steady
march down the Held was begun, the
local fullback, Moore, going through
the tenter of Med ford's lino for
gains of S and D' jnrds time after
time. The halves also found good
holes In the line and made excep
tional gains, Spalding carrying (he
ball 5 j arils on a fourth down lor a
to n hdow n. Medtord then kicked to
Grants l ass and (be l.iaiih on Mad
ford s goal was again taken up al
though only three minutes of play
remained. Time was tailed with the
bail in the middle of the Held.
Grants Pass" goal was In danger only
once, when a Medford tad oroke
loose with a forward pass and suc
cessfully eluding the local safety
was brought to the ground by Cald
well. Medford could neither gain
through the line or around the ends,
resorting to open play for their yard
age, while the local bovs were es
pecially strong In line plunging and,
nit hough Cheshire ami Teel made
good gains on long end runs several
li Me-, end runs were generally
spilled, lively man on the local team
went Into the game with (he true door-die
spirit and certainly every man
played the game of bis life. Time
after time the Grants Pass line-men
broke through and nipped played
before they were started and the
way the halves broke up Medford 'h
much touted forward passes was a
delight to watch. Pattlllo put up a
great game at quarter, especially In
Ihe second half, when he used good
judgment In ramming the line mid
finally sent the ball over for the Hist
touchdown a Grants Pass team has
scored In many years. Fred Wil
liams rt fereed the game and Mr.
Murphy, football coach at the high
school, was umpire.
