MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MflDFOKD, QfiEflON, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 192."
MAY HOLD TWO
CITY ELECTIONS
UPON SAME DAY,
At the city council mooting last
night It developed thei-q 1h a plun be
Ink discussed of holding the two pro
poticd special elections on the wtmc
day, probably the middle of Koptem-
. bar, , The city council and city water
commission will hold a joint meeting
today or tomorrow at which this mat
ter will be finally decided.
Until recently plans were on foot to
hold the water bond issue election
and the election for city charter
amendment!) to pave the way for re
moval of the court houne to Medford
and for annexation of various outly
Ing districts of the city, separately.
But thinga have ho shaped themselves
that these two elections, duo to the
city water commission being anxious
to have the wntor bond election over
before the full rains set In. would
oome about a week apart about tho
middle of September, as the city had
planned for months to hold its speclul
election on the court house and an
nexation about the same time.
Now the question puxzling the city
officials is as to whether It would not
be best to hold both elections at one
time, In order to savo expense and
time, rather than separately and so
close together. One of tho main prob
lems being considered Is os to whether
the holding of these elections at one
time would confuse the voters, and
result In the defeat of tho court house
plan or tho water bond measuro, as It
Is deemed that to put ench of these
litrgor plnns over with the voters re
quires much publicity.
The water bond Issue, It Is under
stood, will call for tho Issuance of
(1100,000 or more bonds, and very
little opposition so far hus been ex
pressed. In fact the proposition hus
boon gaining friends dally, as it is
generally recognized that Metlford
must have a far moro ample jvutor
supply.
The other special election on which
plans have been under way for a long
tlmo past by tho city council among
other features, provides fur the voters
authorizing tho building of a now city
hull, which would bo utilized as a
court house If the courthouse removal
plan Is posscd by the voters next fall;
also tho authorizing by tho voters of
Medford of tho council to sell or lease
tho present city hall building, and the
occupying of the new city hall build
ing when the permanent now court
house has boon built In tho city.
In brief, tho apodal city council
election would result In submitting
five city charter amendments, Includ
i Ing the proposed unncxutlun of the
five outlying districts.
At last night's council meeting n
number of minor ordinances were
passed and much routine buslnesB
disposed of.
Discussion was also had on a num
hor of chungos asked by tho school
board on closing and opening certain
streots relative to tho building of the
now high school and In fixing Its ap
proaches. A number of these changes
woro rofcrrod to the city planning
commission, as tho law requires.

APPEARS CERTAIN
IN BRITISH ISLES
LONDON, July -22. The possibility
of a great British coal strike was In
creased today when the miners refused
to confer, with owners unless the latter
first withdrew proposals for wage re
ductions. ( -f :
The miners' federation announced,
today its refusal of the conference
proposed by the owners. Previously
hopes had been entertained that the
two interested groups might get to
gether and avert the threatened strike.
Evan Williams, chairman of the coal
owners' association wrote A. J. Cook,
secretary., of . the" miners' federation,
yesterday, suggesting a conference.
Today's action refuses that suggestion.
