a poHltlon to employ same sanitary
engineer who will prepare final es
timates upon which to base a call
for bids for all features of con
struction, and the work could be
begun early this fall and continued
during the winter, in a measure
relieving unemployment.
"You have chosen a council in
whom you must have confidence.
This council hus asaumed a trust
In which much responsibility lies
ana a diversion of funds from an
Intended purpose will never be pep
mltted. Our consolldateed Improve
ment fund provides for retirement
or improvement bonds for which
the city Is responsible. Water
funds will tuke cure of water bonds
It conserved and Income increased
according to the desire heretofore
expressed by the people. Our new
water system was constructed for
fbO.000 under the authorized bond
issue. The Cottage street bridge
was constructed for $3200 under the
estimated cost, due to competitive
Dialling. Hewer funds will be con
served In a like manner.
In constructing the flronosed
disposal plant and trunk sower the
final expenditure will depend upon
the determination of an engineer
npet'lullzlug in such construction.
If possible to save In the type of
plant or In any feature of construc
tion sucb will be done. . Competi
tive kidding may also save In con
struction costs. He assured that
only such portion of the bond Issue
us Is necessury to accomplish the
purpose will be sold.
'The sewage plans outlined cover
completed system for the city
and for certain nenr future annexa
tions; also for the immediate care
of Btorm overflows and for th
elimination of four septic tanks now
bordering Bear creek above the
clty'a present septic tank. '
"Those sanitary Improvements
are essential to the health and
dignity of the city.
"Tho council up to this time has
assumed the responsibility for con
titRlon and sunltary dumage but
nftor Wednesday next the respon
sibility will rest with the people.
Fully consider this responsibility
In casting your vote Wednesday."
Chairman Allen Answers Critics
"Unfortunately, the city council,
and particularly the health commit
tee of tho council, have been ac
cusod of vurlotia crimes against the
tion Is low compared with other
southern Oregon cities. He said
that Medford has the lowest gen.
eral taxation of any municipality
In Jackson county.
8cheffel Invites Investigation
"Come to our office and we will
be pleased to explain plans on the
proposed new sewage disposal sys
tern and give figures and costs on
the plans," said City Engineer Fred
Scheffel, at the conclusion of bis
remarkB.
Mr, Bcheffel explained the pres
ent Inadequate situation, dilated on
the plans for the new sewage dis
posal system and trunk sewer In
connection, told of the various
types of septic tank processes in
use In other cities. The present
plans provide for expansions
needed in the future, and for the
complete separation of the sani
tary und storm sewage at some fu
ture time when the city can offord
the enormous cost that would be
entailed in effecting such a separa
tion.
"Medford Is known throughout
Oregon as having the best water,
and the filthiest sewerage," said
Dr. D. L. Inskeen, city health of
ficer, In opening his address.
In pointing out the neoeBslty rot
the building of the new sewage
system septic tank and trunk sew
er for which tomorrow's bond Ibsiib
Is up to the vote of the people, Dr.
Inskeep stated thut a complete and
comprehensive survey has been
mado of the city and Its environs
by competent sanitary engineers,
and the city administration.
The proposed system will care
for storm und sanitary purposes,
for 15,000 people without house
meters, or far 24,000 people with
meters, he said. He related that
the proposed system will abolish
four septic tanks, and sewer clean
up nuisances.
Ho declared the proposed sys
tern Is designed to provide for fu.
ture expansion, as the city grows
so that if at any future time any
immediate adjoining communities,
like Herrydnle, should bo annexed
to tho city the added communities
could booaslly connected up with
the city's fine sewer system, If the
bond Issue passes, and enjoy the
benefits of thut system.
In dwelling on tho doplorable un
sanltnry conditions . along Hear
creek, caused by the nntiqdated
and Inadequate main septla tan!:,
Dr. Inskeep said
'Bo not take my word for It. Oo
of the present wpttc tank will
not be approved.
"The term 'septic tank' has
been Improperly used ln.lcon
nectton with the proposed new
sewage .Xreatment . plant. Heptlc
tanks are considered by com
petent sanitary engineers to be
obsolete and Inadequate for cities
of any size. ' Heptlc tanks still
are the most practical of all treat
ment plans for private homes
and small Institutions, especially
where the tank affluent may be
disposed of --underground by sub
Irrigation. "The effluent from . a septic
tank Is not harmless, as so many
have been led to believe. Its
bacterial content may equal that
of the incoming raw sewage.
Though It Is often said that one
may safely drink the tank over-,
flow, only the foolhardy will risk
the danger Involved. '

years much has been learnea
about the treatment of

Medford and drinking Its splendid
water aguln Mrs. Muhel Muck,
county home demonstration agent,
unexpectedly arrived yesterday
from Corvullls whero she had
pent the past three weeks In tak
ing special home demonstration
worli at the Oregon Hlate college
summer school,
Mrs. Mack's vacation of a month
does not end until July 10, and she
was not expected to resume duty
again until that date, but longing
to be Imt'k In Medford sunshine
again and for a resumption of her
worn she decided to take th re
maining week of the vuuullun at
some future time, und resumed
duty today at her office In tho 1,1b

Mrs. Mack has scheduled no
meetings during the hot weather
period, but will, confine her work
until cooler went nor. mulnly to ad
mlnlMtratlve and like matters,
stuto bonrd of health
has general oversight of water
supplies and sowerngo systems or
tho state, Htuto law requires that

may begin.

supply unless It Is first passed
through some known system ot
puiitlvnlton approved hy the state
bonrd ot heulth.
' Tho present city septic tank
Is not uppmved by our offT
for tho following reasons: The
er. Vice mayor and chairman of the """ r,V8r below Medford Is
council finance committee. In con-'uM, hy of Oold Hill
eluding his address, which was'1"10' '"" t'ass for drinking
mainly devoted to the financial I "r purposes. A nuisance ex
ahlllty of the Medford nubile to "long Hear creek caused by
well wlthstund voting tho bond Is- Medford sewage.
Tne creeg wator is
Tried and nroved modern meth-1 follow,
ods of sewer treatment lire at! to the
our command, and there la no
reason why the older, Inadequate
methods should now be used.
Though there are different pro
cesses used to . accompusn me
required results; they all Provide
for different units, which have
different functions and accomp
llsh the same results. TheBe func
tions are aedlmentatlon, digestion
and oxidation.
Their processes are . carried
on separately and not in inu
mate contact.' Herein lies' the
chief ' difference between- the old
septic tnnk and the modern meth
ods of treatment.- . .
. Cost Reasonable
The estimated cost of the pro
posed sewage - disposal plant for
Medford Is reasonable. The city
of La Clrande In eastern Oregon
has at present tho most complete
treatment nlnnt In the state. The
affluent Is practically always 10O
per cent stable, that Is, incapable
of producing conditions of puri
fication in the stream to which
It Is allowed to flow: This plant
was designed' for about 10.000
population and cost (106,000. It
should, be borne In mind that
this cost does not Include trunk
sewer, but is for the plant alone.
The cost Is proportionately the
same as Medford'a cost, the added
amount being necessary to provide
u trunk sewer which Is needed here.
"The people of Medford should
vote the bond Issue to eliminate
the gross nuisance -and - public
health hazard. The task of sup
plying a city with water does
not stoo whon the used water
enters tho sewer. The used wntor,
which Is sewage, must be dis
posed of so os to not be a
menace to the health and com
fort of the city." - .
