WllHY CHARITIES
FROM
MEDFORD
To Iho Kdtter: ,
DenrSIr,:
Your article of Saturday Inst
tlio source or which in entirely un
known to us, prompted Councilman
Medynskl to call on us, with tho re
quenl'th Know tho atltfiorshlp of name
also tlmt ho desired to bo lut
straight In tho matter saying that ho
felt put out hy tho article, that he
did not know when ho talked to Mr.
l.odnrln June, that there wns to be a
sorvlro charge for tho electricity
and that ho would rather nay tho bill
hluWir than to have the city pay it,
Jto a"lKo wanted to know why n
monthly bill wns not rendered to the
city If a charge was to ho made for
the service instead of waiting until
tho bill ran four months amounting
to $427.50.
I advised him then that tho en
tiro controversy was new to me oth
er than that I had noticed that a
connection had been mado for the
eity on tho regular contract and that
I would look tho matter up.
And now, Inasmuch as Mr. Medyn
ski has had published In tho Mail
Tribune of tho 13th an open letter
over his signature making a number
of statements, I believe It but fair
both to tho public and to ourselves
tb lit tho cntiro situation should bo
set forth, rather than allow tho im
plication to stand as his letter would
Imply that It was a retaliatory meas
ure becauso of tho unsettled condi
tion of the franchise matter.
My investigation of tho situation
shown that, in the first place this re
quest for n connection camo from
Mr. Trana, tho superintendent of tho
water system along about March or
April, ho was advised by Mr. Loder
that it would bo necessary to have a
regular signed application and con
tract for this connection, tho same
as wo require of each and every new I Wo immediately communicated witli
F. K. A. Smith, representing the
Pacific Const Rescue iiml Protection
society of Poitlnnd. N in the eity to
dny soliciting fund and cent riliut ionn
in nil! of this institution. While this
is nominnlly n Portland charity, the
spom of its work ! not limited to
that eity and its efforts rench out
over the entire state.
lule the people of Medford have
mnnv calls fSr nsitance in their
own midst, it is doubtful if nny more
worthy charity in the state appeal
for the surplus help than this, flus
is Hie orgnnirntion that maintnius at
Portland tho "Iahum Home.' where
tlie women nnd girl in distress may
linvc tlie only treatment calculated to
save them from mi-cry and possible
death. It nl'-o keeps up the Alher
tinn Keni Nursery lionie, the Common
Prison league and the Pacific CouM
Anti-White Slave league.
Kntlorsed ty Governor
This charity is endorsed hy Mayor
Alhee, Governor We-t and many of
the foremost business nnd profe
sionnl men of Oregon. A list of
names and private information show
thnt tlie largest numher of those n
pi-ted are from the country and
.smaller towns.
Mr. Smith, when asked to explain
the work of the institutions lie rep
resents, made public a letter received
ye-terdny, which reads in part :
Jlr. Johnson of the Men's Kesort
received n letter from n phy-icinn in
eastern Oregon nking him if lie knew
of any place in Portland to which he
could send two young girls who were
about to become mothers, nnd Mr.
Johnson telephoned me, nnd I u-ked
him to send the letter over, which he
did.
Work of Institutions
The letter stated that the girls
were sisters, 1G and 17 years of nge.

connection, since the putting into cf
feet of tho Public Utilities Act, and
Mr. Tranna advised Mr. Loder at that
time that ho was not authorized to
sign any such document and that it
would havo to be taken up with Mr.
Medynskl.
This request camo from Mr. Tran
na on several occasions and always
ended tho samo way, ho refusing to
sign any order for same.
About May 25th, Mr. Mcdnyskl
stopped Mr. Loder on tho street and
asked for repairs to tho switch, and
as stated by Mr. Medynskl, a repair
was estimated to cost about 9.00 and
Mr. Medynskl was requested to sign
a regular customer's work applica
tion which ho did on May 29th,
19 H, and a tomporary repair was
mado to said switch that would an
swer until a permanent repair could
bo made.
Between this dato and Juno J 6th
Mr. Medynskl mado several applica
tions to Mr. Loder for a connection,
each tlmo ho was told that if he
would step around to tho. office that
the matter could be arranged, and as
a result on Juno ICth, Mr. Loder
went to Mr. Medynskl and Btated to
him that if a connection was desired,
he would havo to sign a regular ap
plication and contract tlie samo as re
quired of every one and presented
the coutract then and there.
This Mr. Medynskl signed on Juno
1C, 1914, on a regular printed con
tract agreeing to pay for power at
rates per published schedulo signing
aamo, City of Medford, by P. V.
MedynBkl, Chairman Finance Com
mute, and a copy of said contract
was then and there delivered to him.
This ho overlooked stating In IiIh
published letter of the 13th Inst.,
and if as ho stated ho did not know
ho was signing a contract ho certain
ly was not following a very business
like method in signing papers tho
contents of which' he was ignorant,
especially bo, when ho was requested
to sign a second document.
I havo no desire to enter Into a
newspaper controversy nor to do or
say anything derogatory toward tho
council or any of its members, but
wo do not wish to be placed In a
laiso iignt upon thin or any other
matter.
