SUGGEST JULY
FOURTH SHOWS
FOR ASHLAND
n
(
That Ashland might resume her
place of dominance in southern
Oregon Fourth of July celebra-
tion* was a suggestion offered by
Angus Bowmer to a group of Ac
tive club members during their
Wednesday dinner hour meet here.
"Ashland in the past has been
widely known for her July cele
brations, but during the past few
years has permitted interest and
activity in this direction to lag,”
said Bowmer. "Inasmuch as I ‘ have
been considering preparation of a
Shakespearian festival this sum
mer, the thought occurred that
this could be incorporated into a
Fourth of July celebration. It is
not too soon for Active club mem
bers, anl other civic minded Ash
landers to start laying founda
tion for such an event, if it is at
tempted this year.”
Another speaker addressing the
Active membership was Louis
Dodge, city park superintendent,
who told of his recent tour of Pa
cific coast parks, and of a con
versation with John McClaren,
San Francisco, who designed both
the Lithia park here and Golden
- Gate park in 'Frisco. McClaren,
jeording to Dodge, declared the
lAahland park the most beautiful
he has seen in travels over the en
tire world.
Active clubbers Wednesday
launched a membership drive

TEARS FOR CITY
WATER IS PAY
OFFERED BY 4
Four out of 11 men against
whom warrants had been issued
for turning on city water without
authority were in police court
Tuesday afternoon. The water had
been turned off on three of them
because of large delinquent water
bills. The fourth, a recent arrival,
was said to have turned on his
water without the formality of ap
plying to the city.
All admitted guilt but pled jus
tification. One declared that the
city insisted on inside toilets and
that he should appeal to the board
of health to compel the city to
furnish water. He, by the way,
owns an acre tract.
Another said his children were
crying for water. He said he did
not care for himself, he could
drink something else, but his chil
dren had to have water. He did
not say what he would drink that
was cheaper than water or how he
would pay for it. He admitted hav
ing an auto and said his wife paid
for the license.
All said they were on relief, and
one declared that if they turned
the water off he would turn it on
again. Practically all declared that
if they were sent to jail the city
would have to care for their fam
ilies. Judge Fuller took the cases
under advisement until the other
11 defendants could be brought
into court.
City Superintendent Elmer Bie-
gel told a Miner reporter that over
$4000 in delinquent water rental
is on the books; that if the city
is to meet interest and principal
on its water bonds it must collect
this money.
One man, against whom a war
rant had been issued, was in the
office when the reporter was there
and declared that the city might
better give citizens free light than
to give the juice back to Copco.
Mr. Biegel stated that the city
gave no juice back to Copco; that
there is no stand-by charge and
no minimum. The city pays the
company for what it uses and no
more. If the city gives it to citi
zens it must pay for it He told
the reporter that Copco at present
furnished about one-third the juice
Ashland is using and the city
manufactured two-thirds.
A smile went round the court
room Tuesday when someone
asked how many of the delin
quents had dogs. None admitted
it and none denied having canines.
The cases are the outcome of a
long attempt to be lenient with
water users and at the same time
keep the city water department
afloat without raising rates to
those who do pay.
Mr. Biegel states that the city
some years ago attempted to help
poor water users by permitting
them to work out the delinquent
water rent and that the result was
a failure. Parties deliberately and
unnecessarily let water rents be
come delinquent and thus built up
the large amount due. Many of
those working out water rents,
while on the job, were not willing
to do a fair day’s work.

Miss Lucille Reeder. Ashland
resident who is teaching at the
Beaver creek school on Applegate,
sustained minor injuries to her
arm Sunday evening when a car
in which she was riding, driven
by Stanley Raimer of the Star

stop on the narrow grade at the
approach of another car, the driv

avoid a collision, which resulted
in the upset. Mr. Raimer was un
injured, although his car was com
pletely wrecked.
