PXfJE E TO TIT CITY 10 BUILD NEW RESERVOIR IN EARLY FALL Council Decides to Construct Reserve Reservoir in Sep tember Or October Lid Is Clamped Down Hard On 1 Water Law Violators. The lid was clamped squarely down by the city council on the per mitting of further violating of the water regulations last night, every councilman 'and the muyor ordering that arrests be made from now on of all water violators. The council is back of this promulgation to a man, and the orders are to ar rest, and rearrest as often as neces- nary all offenders. The council, ev jery member of whom, .Messrs. Lums den, Keene, Gaddls, Antle, Miles and Dress'er were present, and Mayor Gates, are determined to break up the water stealing and give nil water consumers In every part of the city as Bquare a deal as possible. To this end a change In the water ing hours mude. which It Is thought will give tho poople of the WeBt side,-especially In the south Iwest portion, more water. Hereafter water users In the Bec t'on of the city east of the railroad trucks on their regular wator days can only water from 4 n. m. to 11 a. ni., and Instead of staring In again at 4 p. m. and watering until lip. m., must not begin until 7 p. m. and then can water until 1 1 p. m. Thus three hours of watering Is cut off from the east side wator UBers, be cause they have a belter water pres sure than on the west side, and the change will work no hardship what ever on them, the council figures. This three hours cut oft from the eust side, will give all parts of the west Bide a much needed pressure. The water hours on the west side of the railroad tracks nro Just tho same on their water days as hereto fore, except that west of Oakdule avenue, and south of West 12th street, the water users who because of their extreme low pressure have boon' allowd to water every day at any time, must water during the hours assigned to the remulndor of the West side.

SPORT REVIEW Film BUSTER La MAR at the Organ, SUNDAY WALLACE REID in "RENT FREE" shirtsleevcd counciltnen began to dis cuss the water question and the steal '.rig of water, the temperature grew warmer as Mayor Gates and the councilmen, one by one, related the evils ot water stealing. Many dark and dastardly deeds of this kind were related, and Instances told of where a number of water users have ha bitually used water as they pleased regardless of hours and required hose nozzle, actually defying the city. The council means business at last In this enforcing of water regulations, and is unitedly back of those charged with the enforcement. The owners of commercial gardens with their lines of sprays must walk chalk from now on, and will he closely watched by other water users. It developed after the council meeting lust night that one of the largest commercial gardeners of tho city, after the coun cil recently curtained use of water by commercial gardens, had been go ing ahead using water as usual, with permission, It is said, from a coun cilman. No councilman has author ity to grant any one permission 'to violate any ordinance of the city, the rest of the councilmen say, and they won't permit this man to violate any longer. "Treat every water consumer alike," Is now tho slogan of the city government. Jluild Second Reservoir Councilman Lumsden voiced the sentiments of the council and mayor when In the beginning of laBt night's discussion he earnestly declared that Medford has plenty of water for all consumers. If steullng of water were only stopped. While the city fath ers were still heated up on the water question they said It was futile for v.nter consumers to expect to get suf ficient water In their homos for the bath tub, etc., while at the same time they had one or two hose nozzles playing on - their lawns. If they would shut off tho Irrigating on their lawns, plenty of water In most cases would pour Into the house. Councilman Antle brought up tho question of the city starting work as soon as possible In building an addi tional or reserve reservoir, and the mayor and every councilman was heartily In favor of doing this In the fall. Plans prepared by Olen Arn splger, former city water superin tendent, and Fred CummlngB, the district water commissioner, many months ago for the building of such a reservoir, estimated that the ex pense would be fiom $20,000 to $23, 000. The city council will look up these plans and confer with Messrs. Arnsplgcr und CummlngB at tho next council meeting, and propare to start the work of construction September 1st or October 1st, next. Tho money for such building will be tuken from the city water fund. TAX ON SMOKERS "What la It you hnvo on your mind, Bcn?M BWoetly inquired Chas. E. Gates, present mayor of Mod ford, to B. F.

Jewell V nuts IPeaco A strong willingness. to grnsp the olive branch of pence was expressed today by 11. M. Jewell, president of the railway employes' department of the American Federation of Labor. A statement Issued by Mr. Jewell referred ,tp a letter acnt him yester duv by Bun W. Hooper, chairman of tho United States railroad labor board In which Mr. Hooper said the "board has been protecting the In terests of the striking shopmen." "Though the letter Itself has not reached me," said Mr. Jewell, "I can, on the basis ot press reports, say that tho declaration that the organiza tion of employes who have declined or who may decllno, as is their legal right, to accept the. dictates of the la bor board, ore not to be 'outlawed' does not remove or annul the offi cial action of tho board. The lan guage ot the resolution clearly means that the shop crafts organizations are to be supplemented by organizations of what may be termed 'whitewash ed strikebreakers.'" Any reply to Chairman Hooper's letter, Mr. Jewell's statement con tinued, will be determined after "careful consideration." The statement concluded with a reiteration of his willingness to sit In negotiations with anyone who bos a proposal "up his sleeve."
