Meier'g popularity, and making it appear that the Governor of
Oregon wanted .his local followers to vote the issue down.
It now transpires that later on certain opponents of the bond
issue wrote Governor Meier and requested him to cheek up on
the state, board of health" and determine why that board liad
endorsed the bond isHtie, the supposition being presumably, that
the board would either withdraw its endorsement, materially
modify it. or that the Governor would be drawn into the con
troversy against the proposal. i ,
If so, they were grievously disappointed. For Governor
Meier wisely refused to be drawn into the. controversy on either
side, but simply asked the state board of health its opinion of
the Medford situation
This opinion was given week after the election waajicld.

Deer Sir: The delay In answering your letters referring to the Med
ford situation was due to the fact that the state sanitary engineer was
out of the city and It was not possible lor me to give you all of the
. JaoU at an earlier date. ,-- : i. t n
Briefly, the situation In Medford Is that the city has grown very
rapidly but the sewerage system has not espanded sufficiently; to a-,
, commodate the building activities.- Bear creek is dried up due to Irrl-,
1 gatton and there is not sufficient dilution to properly care for the ef
' flunt from the septo tank. " The aepUc tank la too small to funotlon.
' properly. For this reason numerous complaints Jiavo .been illed with'
ua and the local health department complaining of the nuisance. The,
situation is undoubtedly a health menace which can only be solved
by the building ofi an adequate disposal plant and an extension of
j sewer to the utuewered ports of the city,
i ,iatatemenU made by Mr. Oreen were that any additions to or,
modifications of the .present sewage disposal plant would not be ap-:-.
' provM -because eeptla tank treatment-would not be satisfactory at,:
Medford. Thla la true because there Is Insufficient diluting water
available In Bear creek, i He at no time atated that any particular type,,
of plant must be built, i He referred to the present widely used unlta
of. primary treatment, Imhoff tanks and mechanical olarlilers. He,
also -stated (that secondary treatment would be necessary in such ar
rilant and that eitlter of the two common methods of treatment, trick-,i
log (titers or activated sludge,. might be used.. Intermittent sand fll-i,
tera were nut referred to because at tho proposed sites titers Is hardly,
i enough area available for such units, and since fine sand Is not pros-..
I ent on the site such beds would be costly. .. None of the above pro-.
i ceases are patented.. Mechanical clarification equipment is manufac
tured by the Door Company and the Hardinge Company. , The Imhoff,
tank was originally patented by Dr. Imhoff of Oermauy, hut we are
I Informed that ttie patent boa expired and that royalties must no longer
- be paid for Imhoff tank installations. . At Jio time lld our eugineer.
slate .that any particular dsvlce must be used. ... i, ,.:,..
Mr. Oreen explained the fundamental differences between the old
septic tank method of treatment and the modern methods, , He did .
Mils In attempting to Inform, the people why a septic tank would not
be satisfactory. ....-
Re stated .that the estimate of cut of the proposed sewage 'dis
posal plant was reasonable. Figures from over the entire country show
that the cost of complete sewage treatment varies from ten to twenty
dollar per capita. The cost does not Include outfall sewers. The bond
Issue was to provide for a new outfall eewer,, the estimated coat of
which was more than half the entire amount asked for.
Our engineer vlalted Medford because he was asked for by the city
officials. At no time did he say that Medford "must" vote the bonds
and Install an adequate sewage disposal plant. Be said thoy "should."
I believe that the Medford city officials will advise you that the above
statements are correct, ,
It Is a very difficult matter to get cities to realize that proper sew
age disposal Is only another means of safeguarding the health of the
people. The state law provides that cities shall not dump sowage into
streams used for drinking pur-poses. This Is a very difficult law to en
force and the state board of health has not pressed the enforcement,
especially when the cities are separated by long distances. However,
as these cities grow the menace becomes greater and sewage disposal
plants are cheaper than epidemics of typhoid fever.
. Yours truly,
(Signed) FREDERICK D. STRICKER, '
, State Health Officer,
If it stronger, more reasonable, more convincing argument
in favor of an adequate sewage disposal plant in Medford,
could be conceived) we don't know where one would find it.
It answers those who maintain all Medford needs is another
septic tahk. .
It answers those who maintain that the estimated coats of thu
trunk sewer AND disposal plant wore, excessive.
Coming from one of the most highly respected doctors in the
state, it answers those who have -claimed that raw sewage dump-'
ed into a shallow creek in the business center of the city is not
a menace to health, .
But, as Dr. .Strieker, well says :
"It is a difficult matter to get elites to reallm that proper sewace
disposal Is only another means of safeguarding the health of the peo
ple." It is also (I .diffiuult matter in fact, we fear it is almost an
possible task to pass any bond issue exceeding $100,000 in Med
ford at the present timo. ,
What then should be done! In our opinion, just what we
suggested the day after the election, call in the best sanitary
engineer available, have him make a complete survey, and tell
us what, in view of the circumstances, CAN be done.
, I ; . t i '
17E HAVE no desire to stir up dissension, or revive a ciiii
troversy that for the immediate present, is dead.
lint as far as this sewer problem is concerned, it isn't sct
tledi unlit it is settled KIGJ1T. And it isn't settled RIGHT,
until it provides for the proper protection of the health of this
eomtminity. , ' ,
And popular or unpopular, we are going to fight right iilong
that line if it takes all summer or. a dozen summers,
" w
TpilKRK are two general types of newspapers. Those that try
to find out what is popular in a community and then sup
port it j and those that try to find out what is HKST for a com
munity and then support that i. e. try to make it popular..
The Mail Tribune . is now, and always has been, in the latter
category. Wo believe this sewage disposal problem must be
solved, because we believe that. thu health and the better welfare
of this community demand it. '
The less Medford will have to pay for that solution, the bet
ter we will like it. lSut sooner or later anil the sooner the better-

its omisssion, the executive feels
to viulate his pledge of law en
forcement by counseling the' peo
ple not to obey the law by refus

going to the extent of promising
to exercise his pardoning power
in behalf of every person convicted
of fuilure to observe the law. '

a license, he should go without
tho luxury until he can. In fact

hard to pay a license fee later us

All the governor accomplishes
is to encouiuse tax slackers and
