Mayor E. M. Wilson thla noon:, u
"Whllo the' result of our sewer
bond election was against the pro
ject, the prevailing national depres
sion, and particularly our state
sentiment foretold the result.
"From Hie standpoint of the city
council, I cun say that every coun
cilman feels that his duty has been
performed and that the project as
submitted to the voters was a con
structive plun as nearly perfect as
six months of Intensive study could
make tt. Only 40 per cent of the
registered vote was cust, which can
not be regarded a representative.
"In the cities of Iji Grande and
Walla Walla sewer Improvements
were at first turned down and
houvv dumugo claims were secured
against each city before the people
suppurted bond Issues and built
systems enuulcd by no other. This
will, no doubt, be tho renult In
Medford.
"Regarding submitting tho ques
tion again to the people, the coun
cil at this time hus no definite
plan of procedure. We may be
forced by the state board of health
to call another election lit once.
If we can provide a fund In October
for our next budget to secure com
plete dutull und design of plant
from a consulting engineer I would
prefer waiting until this can be
done before submitting tho ques
tion again. The sttrvoys and infor
mation we now havo uro of great

from the standpoint of health. A
