HI
FEHL'S MEETING
IN NATAT0R1
"It Is up to the citizens of Mod ford
If they wish the enw water system;
and whether or not they have faith in
the advice of the engineers and other
advisers in regard to the new system
vfhen they vote at the polls next
Thursday to decide wnether the city
should have a new water supply said
ex-Mayor hi. C. Gaddia, a member of
the water commission, last night at
the mass meeting held at the Nutato
rlum under the chairmanship of Karl
31. Fehl In regard to the merits of the
proposed water bond Ihhuq and other
measures to bo voted upon next
Thursday.
The hall was crowded with people
assembled to hear both sides of the
question and also to listen to Mr. Fehl
expound his thoughts on the matter.
Ralph Cowgili, Harry It. Waither, Vr.
J2, B. Pickel ,and others attempted to
m plain different questions brought
up through the course of the evening
by the chairman, but due to a time
limit, which was one minute at first
but later lengthened, it was some
what difficult for a full explanation
to be made.
The climax of the heated meeting
came to the end when various ones
present made known their dissatisfac
tion of the short time limits set. When
told that the meeting "was not run
aquare," Mr. Fehl returned, "Well, I
see you're all staying;'
"Whereupon some one said, "Let
all those in favor of the water
bonds go," and the meeting broke
up in more or less disorder,
broke up in more or . less disorder,
with a majority of the audience leav
ing their seats, laughing and convers
ing as they filed downstairs. The
chairman spoke a few words to his
supporters remaining behind, telling
them of his appreciation of their at
tendance and that he had statements
to show, that Medford's supply was
class A Instead of class C water.
Mr. Fehl at the beginning of the
meeting spoke over an hour, criticiz
ing the water board figures. Mail
Tribune and city officials In general,
lie championed Mrs. Rowley's so-called
water rights to Big Butte Springs,
reading her contract and asking her
questions, she being called to the plat
form twice during the evening. He
threatened that suits would be start
ed in courts unless settlement, total
ing approximately $20,000 were made.
He gave the names of several county
and state officials, who, he claimed,
had affirmed her rights.
- The first protest of the evening
from the audience, occurred when
Bert Anderson, not approving of
Fehl's assertions that the 'campaign
cards were charged to taxpayers, arose
to explain that business men had do
nated the amount to cover printing
costs, and went on to say to the au
dience that "It would be best to nail
every one of the lies before they get
started. The hall shook with ap
plause while a sharp exchange occur
red between the two men.
The chairman made public the fact
that over $7000 had been paid hy the
water commission to Engineers DH
lard and Henney for the recent water
report. He dwelt at length on the
water commissison and on the voters
pamphlet which wns recently publish
ed. He made the remark that he could
find no arguments within its covers
negative to the measures. Although
he is in favor of having the court
house moved to Medford he advised
the defeat of the measure, proposing
a $50,000 bond issue.
Mr. Fehl declared the city taxes
would be raised from the present rate
of slightly over 6ft mills, to 72.6 mills.
If the water, bond, issue carries, and
that the water? rates will be set at a
minimum of $2.75. Because he be
lieves the city has a habit of promis
cousty deeding a way lots, he voiced
his disapproval of the deeding of lots
for Crnter Lake National Pork head
quarters. Likewise he disproved of
the raising of general taxes.
. During a short intermisslson a col
lection was taken from the crowd to
nid In defraying the expenses of the
meeting.
On a blackboard he explained fig
ures, showing what he claimed to be
the city's apparent inability in taking
care of the proposed bond Issue, tak
ing a "crack" at the Mail Tribune
while doing so. ,
He admitted "the city water supply
to be "no good" nt one point of the
meeting, but said that condition conic!
be remedied by cleaning the reser
voir and the intnke. ' "Rending nn en
gineer's report, Mr. Fehl stated that
at present 290 gallons of water are
available for every 'resident in the
city, and went on to say that it wns
wasted by certain city officials.
Wood stave pipe was suggested by
Mr. Fehl ns being better nnd cheaper

Aid abundant. "Dsnderine" cots only

systems of Seattle aud Tacoma as ex-j
a in pies. He dwelt at length on the,
disposition of the old pipe line, being
skeptical of the city's ability of dis
posing of it pro pert iy.
The handbills for last Friday night's
mass meeting were among other
things Fehl attacked, labeling them
as "propaganda." Again and again he
associated the bond issue with the Cal
ifornia Oregon Power company, ap-
fparently because of the fact that H. L.
j Wnither of the water board is a mem
jber of that organization, Mr. Fehl
Chamber of Commerce, stating that it
is merely a close corporation, and not
representative of the people as a
whole.
The chnfrmnn announced an open
forum in which all present could take
part, provided they limited their
words to one minute. Jtniph Cowgili
explained briefly the need of a stand
pipe, which Fehi charged was costing
the city over a million gallons of
water yearly on the Haniey ranch.
Cowgili nlRO answered the question
brought up as to why steel instead of
wood is to be used in the new line, if
built, stating that wood is generally
used only when cheaper than metal.
The chairman lengthened Cowgili s
time while ho explained different
matters concerning the Rowley
wate rrlghts. that the Eagle Point Ir
rigation district had won decisions
over Mrs, Rowley, and that a board of
arbitration had been appointed to ful
ly settle the matter.
H. X. Waither told of the plan of
the water commission of retiring the
bonds In 80 years, however, because
of the time limit was unable to go into
detail. When the chairman told the
speaker the time was up much protest
was made from all parts of the room.
"Shut up" to Fehl and "Go on and
speak," to Waither were among the
expressions made. As brought for
ward In the last- mass meeting it Is
planned to rnise water rates 50 per
cent or about one dollar a month for
the average water users. At the end
of the 30 years the debt will have
been paid off without raising tnxeB,
Mr. Waither explained nnd said he
had the figures to prove it. His
speech made a most favorable im
pression.
K. C. Oaddis appealed to the judg
ment of the people in a few well chos
en words In regard to the election, cit
of the board, the majority of whom
fthe board, the majority of whom
were present, He also gave a clear
explanation as to the Crater Lake Na
tional park establishing headquarters
here permanently, if given the lots in
preference to Klamath Falls, which
city is endeavoring to obtain the of
fice. At one point in his talk Mr. Fehl
claimed that the water commission
asked the people to vote bonds, for
nearly a million dollars for wmcn
they had no plan.
in renlv H, L. Waither vigorously
assailed tbfs statement. "The Water
Commission has a plan said he.
"and have made the details of that
plan public in every detail, Theea
gineering phases of that plan have
been approved by your own engi
neer, Mr, Fehl, they have-been drawn
up by Mensem. Henny and Dillard,
two of the best hydraulic engineers
on the const, the legal soundness of; program of popular, Jasiz and seml
the plan has been approved by Buch ' classical numbers which give the
lawyers as A. B. Reames, the Fosl-
land lawyers for the bond compa
nies, by City Attorney Carkin and
hy former Circuit Judge P. M. Cal
kins. Tho financial features of the
plan have also been endorsed by local
bankers, by experts from Portland
bond houses ans in that plan is a
detailed statement showing to any
one thnt this plan can be carried
out, either by raising the taxes or
by raising the water rates, or rais
ing the tnxes partly and raising
water rates for the remainder. These
figures spenk for themselves.
"We
have a plan, a practical plan and
it Is this plan the people are being
called upon to endorse."
Slating that he does not expect to be
elected. Mr. Fehl announced his can
didacy for office of mayor in the city
government at the next election, giv
ing his reason that he wished to "show
things up," and that "I got nobody be
hind mo but myself."
"The city water system cannot he
cleaned up In six months," said Dr, 13.
H. Pickel, In answer to Pehl's asser
tion thnt lie could do so with a party
under his direction. The doctor stat
ed that the city, the forest service and
the hoard of health had attempted to
do so, but without avail. In thiB con
nection Cowgili Btnted 30 miles of lake
shore would have to be cleaned of
debris to do so properly, and thne
next year twice aa much timber will
be submerged under water, increasing
he said, the typhoid fever danger.
It was at this point when Kehl in
terrupted Dr. Pickel, and Cowgili In
terjected his statement supporting the
Medford health officer, that the meet
ing broke up.
Standing room was at a premium In
the hall, ao eager were local citizens
to listen and take part In the discus
