City Water Commission
Lays Cards On Table
Official Figures of Water
Waste Given Sale of
Water to Suburbs Small
Item -City Charges Are
Lowest.
The following Mlttpmnni Wlis
issued today by the Medford water
coin mission regarding I In- sale of
waste water In suburban districts:
"In view uf tlx; recent comments
thru your paper regarding the sale
nf water outside the city of Med
ford, thp water commission lakes
this opport unity to supply addi
tional information that might help
to a better understanding of the
silualion.
"This commission was created
by the voters of Medford for the
specific purpose of supervising the
construction and operation of the
water system, und to safeguard the
interests of the city by exercising
the best business judgment
managing the affairs of this de
part m en t. No move has been
made, nor any plan adopted, that
lias not first been carefully studied
and proved to be safe, practical
and workable. That was the pol
icy of the commission during the
period of planning and construct -i
UK t he new and enlarged water
system, we now enjoy, and has like
wise been their policy in the pro
posal to sell to outside users a
small portion of the surplus water
now flowing from ltlg Hutte
Springs. After an investigation ex
tending over one and one-half
years, which permitted a thorough
study of the problem, outside sale
was unanimously recommended by
the commission, from the stand
point of direct benefit to the city
hi bel Icring Ilea It li conditions,
stabilising, the suburbs, nnd pro
during an income from a portion
of tin- water now wasted.
"The question a p pears to have
resolved itself down to an issue
bet ween sent i men t and strictly
business methods, and it is hoped
that this statement will help lo
clarify the silualion.
"The following Is a table that
gives the average daily use and
averate daily surplus of water for
the past twelve months:

"The above, tabic shows an enor
mous e.Nccss of surplus water in
very month of the year except
.July and August.
The contemplated sale of sur
plus water to outside users would
not require half a million gallons
daily all told and this small
a mount would never be missed
from the large surplus turned into
the creek every day. The above
should be conclusive proof that
there would still la ample reserve
J for a long period of time.
I "The commission feels that then!
' Is no better way to assure sound
; value of city property than to help
build up the country surrounding
Medford, for our city van only pro
gress as the outside areas become
developed.
Water Sy-tt-m l'a Its Way
, The water department receives
VJii.tnm per year from the city as
rent for ;iU7 fire hydrants for fire
protection, 7 sewer flushing tanks.
I ti drin king fountains and water
service at city building-, parks,
playground, etc., ami all service
equipment is maintained by this
department. This rental Is very
nillt'li less than would be charged
by a private corporation for simi

money is raised by tax, it is to pay
for a direct water serviet; rendered
the eity. Hie same as payment for
i lights, polb-c, street cleanim:, etc.,
(therefore the water department is

Till'; HAUrF, Aug. 1 ;. '! The
Hrltisb delegation, by letter and
otherwise, within the past hour
has ntude known to other uaTiour,
participating in the conference (
make the Young plan effect iv
that its' ultimatum still stamla, and
It will not accept the Young plan
without an Increased share of fie.--iiian
reparations.
It was made known also I hat
Philip Snowden, Hritish chancellor
of the exchequer, intended to de
mand action on his resolution tor
revision of the Voting it Ian, and
would brook little furl her dehiy,
intimate persona I con versa t tons
bet ween the delegates coal lu:i--d
anyway with the hope of finding
some way out of the deadlock.
The chancellor, it was said, f- It
he was being pushed into a la Ne
position and exposed to crit icisne:
from home for baekini, down ;it'ier
having aroused the entire nation
to hlti support. I le t hits tool;
nipaus to prevent IIuiihs from go
ing too fur before he declared him
self. The silualion arising as a result
of this development was all I bo
more serious by the resolut ion of
Iho other creditor nations, Franee,
Italy, Belgium and -Japan, yester
day to stand together in opposition
lo Chancellor Snowden.
If tin Snowden resolution eomea
up for action Saturday at the meet
ing of Ihe financial committee un
amended, il undoubtedly will tn
rejected and. tte chancellor m
faced with the necessity of going
home or. backing down.
