The PerrytlQjo section west of Medford on the Jacksonville high way has been planning to use Medfonl water. However, no plans 9 a d.nlle nature have been made, and if they nre made, It Is possible that they may also Include Jacksonville. The rlly of Medf'Ml'. with its source at the Hlg lmtte springs above :0"e Kails, has a water supply of sufficient volume to upply a city of three to four times the nrosenf sIvm and can O j easily supply the needs of the proposed extensions. The water ; flows to the city limits nt a rate of 18 second feel or 135 gallons per second or 11.K64.0OO gallons .very 24 hours. Taking advan tage of this huge supply, a recent survey revealed that Medford con sumes four times na much watery per capita nn Portland, caused mainly by carelessness ln tho use of water and Indifference to waste. 1, 1
