BY ALL MEANS GIVE
WR HEARTILY n(rrec with those who maintain, that all the
facts concerniiiif the city scwaire nituation, should be
presented to the people.
For only with all the facto in
vote intcllifreiitly on thia rjuestion, which we regard ax one of
the most important that lias conic up for decision in many years,
These fats, briefly, arc as follows:
Jledford 1ms outgrown its present sewage system. The storm
sewers are so inadenuate that (luri'itr such a rain as visited the
eitv in June, raw hcwukc flows
town streets. The septic tank is
was cleaned out a short time ago,
a very expensive operation and, from the standpoint of public
health, a dangerous one. As a makeshift to reduce the danger
of contagion, thousands of dollars arc being spent by the city
in chlorinization.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE
EXPENSE OF OPERATING THE PRESENT INADEQUATE
SYSTEM, IS EQUAL TO WHAT THE ANNUAL INTEREST
CIIARC.E WOULD HE ON THE PROPOSED SEWAGE DIS
POSAL PLANT.
UNDER present conditions, Hear Creek running through the
center of thu city, and a stone's throw from our tourist
auto camps, is nothing less than an open sewer, certainly a dam
aging advertisement to the outside world, regardless of the
dangers to health involved.
This sewer water is used to irrigate icertain truck gardens
along the creek, and the owner of one of them has already sued
the city for damages, a suit which, according to the best legal
opinion available, will unless the condition is immediately cor
rected be sustained in. the courts.
..,
THIS is the situation which Medford faces, and has faced for
soma time. To, meet this situation, not only a menace to
the public welfare, but a danger to tho taxpayers in the way
of damage suits, the eity council called in several of tho best
known sanitary engineer in the country, to survey the situa
tion, and give their opinion as to what should bo done.
They all agreed on the necessity of a modern sewage disposal
plant, and also agreed on the estimated expense of such a plant.
In view of low labor costs, and also low construction costs, this
might bo reduced, but, as is always good business in such mat
ters, a safe figure was adopted, rather than run the risk of ne
cessitating a second bond issue.
PO B a long tiiuo tho Mail Tribune bus realized this situation,
and has studied tho problem from all ungles. As has been
previously stated in this column, wc don't like tho idea of voting
another bond issue at. this time, any more than other large tax
payers. IF THERE IS ANY AVAY THAT THIS CAN BE
AVOIDED, WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING TICK WELFARE OF
THE COMMUNITY, AND RUNNING THE RISK OF SERI
OUS DAMAGES, WE ARE FOB IT.
I lilt i to date wo have been able to find no other way., And
we have- yet to find any other citizen who, after studying the
situation, can point to any other way. In fact, we have talked
with a score of opponents of this bond issue, and not ouo of
them' lias' denied' the situation
reited. .'''..; - !"
THEN WHY NOT GET TOGETHER AND CORRECT IT?
Almost invariably tho answer
that "they don't know enough
. Then, we repeat, NOW IS
most exhaustive survey and cstimato of the entire problem has
been made by City Superintendent Scheffel, with every expense
carefully itemized i any taxpayer interested can securo a copy
of this report, and these figures have been substantiated by
outside sanitary engineers down to tho last nickel.
AVhat more can the city dot
Well, they can give greater
tho press, but that costs money, and we sympathize with the
city council in its desire to involve no expense at this time that
is not absolutely necessary,, . .., ..
, They could also siwure the
health, through a survey 'by its
are informed will be done. Such an opinion from an impartial
source should have great weight with the people, and no doubt
will have. Hut after all, this is a matter that the people alone
can filially decide. All tho council, or this paper, on anyone
can do, is to give them the information j they alone can act on it.
'T'llERE is. one misconception that should be corrected, how-
ever, at this time. The bond issue is for $-';tr,(HHI and the
statement has been made that a sewage disposal plant for a eity
of 15,!)'.!'.! should cost only if 1 ir.,(MH).
This is true, in fact, according to the city's figures, such
a plant would cost only $112,5(10.
Then why $'J;i,0(Hif lleeause this bond issue calls not only
Tor n disposal plant, but for' a new trunk sewer, and the
cost of such sewer is estimated at tlHS.OlKl, or a total of approxr.
mately if'.'L'O.IHHl for both. The balance of s15,frtH is to be held
for future contingencies, ami if not needed will be returned
to the sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds.
Isn't this good businessf We believe it is. Far lietter to
have a plant that will not only provide for the present but for
the future, rather than run the risk of Imviilg to build another
unit, later, at n far greater proportionate cost.
come back to the point we started from. The people
most certainly should have all the facts regarding this bond
issue, and between now and ele.-tion time the Mail Tribune is
going to do all it rim to give them the Tacts.
Toward this end we would welcome inquiries, on any phase
of the situation, from anyone who hits' any doubts or wishes
any disputed point to be cleared...
With the people in possession of all the facts, knowing the
situation hs it really is, we will be content on next Wednesday,
as we have always been in the past, with whatever their decision
may be.
Hut we will not be content with a vote iiased upon misinfor
mation or ignorance of the true situation, and so wc, call upon
.nr irniirni in co-operaie wim us in making such a vote impossible.

TEN DOMiAItS Foil A
My Hon. fiRcd four years, writes
a corrcHpondent, swallowed a nick
el two weeks ago. I took him to
DVt 'h winltarlum where I had
an X-ray taken for
$10. The X - ray
showed the nickel
in his stomuch un
der a rib., Orte of
the nurses told me
If he did not pass
the nickel In a
reasonable time
the hoy must be
operated v orjf. He
has' not yet passed
(he nii-kel and I am afraid an op
oral Inn mlcht Injure him perma
nently. Will you please , let me
know if there Is any way of re
moving tho nickel without an op
eration and If It oan cause any
harm hy remaining In his stom
ach1! I gave him soverur dosos
or castor oil hut he did pot pass
tho nickel.. " We cannot afford to
pay for an operation ... - . '
If tho nickel is In the ; boy's
stomach, il should say thero Is no j
harm In 'leaving It there, at least
until 'the boy .develops some sign
of trouble of some sort. j
Whenever a child actually or j
presumably swallows any foreign!
body .lt Is well to AVOID all ciir
t hurtles for, several days, and In
stead feed the child plenty of ripe
banana, baked or boiled potnto,
and such other vegetables as the
child' normally eats. This will
favoi natural passing of the for
eign body In a maun of undigested
residue. Ordinarily such swallows
cd objects may he expected to pass
thru tho Intestine In two or three
days...
Why Is the correspondent unable
to afford an operation? One reason-
Is quito evident. The corre
spondent too readily squanders
money on a gamble. Anybody who
of his own volition or responsibil
ity has an X-ray' examination1
made, wastes the money It costs,
as a g (moral rule. No ono should
ever spend money fur such exami
nation unless It Is advised by. a
reliable physician.
The Institution where thls'corre
spondent took tho child for the
X-ray examination Is obviously a
quack Institution, for If It wore a
reputable or trustworthy one the
nurse would not indulge In any tin
doctoring.
I suspect the X-ray examination,
Itself wns phony and If It really did
show the nickel "under n rib" the

Immediately to some reputable
physician- for proper care, or If
the correspondent cannot afford to

the child to the nearest public
clinic or hospital dispensary for
examination. Not rarely when a
child aspirates or inhales a foreign
body, or when something "goes
down the wrong way," tho object
lodges in the windpipe or bron

IMiotogruplicr'H Ifyo for Monoxide
;;7 Poisoning
Have you recently given in your
column some information about
tho use of sodium hyposulphite as
a remedy for monoxide gas poison
ing? (A. D. S.)
Answer Yes, sodium hyposul
phite (formerly called thtosul
phate), the chemical commonly
used as a fixing agent In photo
graphic work, has been found an
excellent remedy In cases of acute
carbon monoxide gassing and for
tho after-effects of mild poisoning.
It may be given internally In doses
of a teaspoonful of the powder dls
solved In half a glassful of water
every 3 or 4 hours. It is harmless,
and hastens the clearing up of the
unpleasant effects of monoxide
poisoning. It may even be advis
able for persons exposed occupa
tlonally to slight carbon monoxide
poisoning to take a dose of the
hyposulphite of soda every duy or
two, say a teaspoonful. This has
been tried out with considerable
satisfaction In Prance.
