INVOLVES NO TAX
FOR WATER USERS
To correct the Impression which
has been gained In certain quarters
of the city to the effect that an
additional charge tb water users will
result from the Improvements to the
sewage system planned, the Chamber
of Commerce Issued a statement to-
The 15-cent fee to 'make the sew
age Improvement program self liqui
dating will be subtracted from the
water tax now being collected. The
total now is $2.50 a month and the
total after the Improvements are ac
complished, if they are, will be $2.50.
The water department will lower the
water tax to $2.35 to make this pos
sible. This Is the plan devised by the
Chamber of Commerce committee
and la the one which will be adopted
if the people of Medford aprove the
loan, for which application has been
made by the city to the administra
tor of the national recovery act, and
If the government grants It.
The only requirement specified by
the water department In making this
concession is that the city fulfill Its
agreement of some year ago to levy
water refunding bonds amounting to
$20,000 each year.
Several years the city has failed
to issue bonds for that amount, lit
1929 the levy was only $13,000. in
1930 It was approximately $25,000. In
1931 $20,000 and in 1932 the amount
retarded to $5000.
Unless this levy is continued the
water department In 1938 will be
faced with the necessity of refunding
Its bonds.
At all events, according to the
plan, outlined by the Chamber of
Commerce committee, there will be
no extra charge to wtaer users If the
j sewage Improvements are accom-
piiena.

OF ELECTRICAL
Electric Air
Conditioning
Is Displayed
The first demonstration of electric1
air conditioning equipment ever held
in southern Oregon opened today at
the Hotel Jackson. This novel dem
onstration, which Is conducted by
Raymond Gill, commercial engineer
for the Frlgldalre corporation, Is be
ing held In the small dining room of
the hotel and has already attracted
many local and out-of-town visitors.
The need 'for air conditioning to cool
and dehumldlfy the air la particu
larly apparent .during the present hot
spell and much lpterest has been
taken in the new and improved
methods recently Introduced by the
Frlgldalre corporation.
Through Its many distinct advan-
S
Much Interest is being taken by
the business and professional men
of this city In the demonstration of
electric air conditioning equipment
now being held at the Hotel Jackson.
The operation of the equipment has
proved a revelation to local visitors
because of Its simplicity and effic
iency.
The Frlgldalre Air conditioner
changes hot, humid air into cool, re
freshing atmosphere, In three simple
operations.
First, the warm air la drawn Into
the cooler by a specially designed.
quiet fan. Then It is forced over a
Frlgldalre cooling coll where frosty
cold surfaces not only chill the air,
but cleanse it and condense the ex
cessive moisture. This conditioned air
is then forced out Into the room
again. Through this simple cycle of
operation, from 450 to 560 cubic feet
of air are cooled, dried and circulated
into the room every minute, without
creating annoying drafts and breezes.
When cold weather comes, the com
pressor unit used for cooling and de-
humldifylng la turned off. Then, by
turning another switch, the Frlgld
alre Air Conditioner, when connected
to steam or hot water lines, functions
as an extremely efficient radiator.
and, in addition humidifies and cir
culates the air.
This Is done by drawing the air
over a reservoir of fresh water heated
by the vapor or steam line. The mois
ture given off Is taken up by the air,
as It Is drawn lf,o the unit, and is
passed over the heating coll. The
air that has been thus heated and
humidified is then forced out Into
the room by two quiet motor-driven
fans. Each Frlgldalre unit, through
this operation, la capable of condi
tioning between 450 and 550 cubic
feet of air per minute.

tages the Frlgldalre conditioner fills
a long-felt need. It offers comfort
in the home and relief to hospital
patients. It promotes efficiency
among office workers and Increases
profits for stores, restaurants and
many other commercial enterprises.
It makes It possible to fleod a room
with cool, refreshing air at the flick
of a switch. And as Frlgldalre low
ers the temperature, it likewise low
ers the humidity, bringing cool com
fort and relief on hot, sticky sum
mer days and nights.
The Frlgldalre demonstration now
being held here will continue all
the rest of this week and promises
to draw a large attendance from all
parts of the valley.

DEMAND SMALL,
L
Cherry growers of the Rogue River
valley are this year confronted with
a very serious problem. It was point
ed out today by growers and canners
of the fruit. The crop is unusually
large and the demand unusually
small. And since the olo law of tup
ply and demand la as inevitable as
night and day, there doesn't seem to
be anything to do about It.
Growers have called frequently at
the Mat! Tribune, urging that more
cherries be canned. A tour of the
Rogue River Vslley Conning company
today revealed that the companv Is
canning stl the cherries It can sell.
Orders for 25 tons of the fruit
have been received by the cannery.
Ralph Boutelle. president of the
company, stated today. Therefore
cherries for canning of 25 tons will
be bought and the companv can not
afford to buy more during resent
conditions.
The buying hss been scsttered over
as much territory as possible, Mr.
Boutelle stated, to distribute the
money to be expended, to a number
of growers. Complete crops have
oeen taaen only in cases where a few
trees were owned by the grower.
Tne Royal Ann crop in the Rogue
River valley this summer he estimat
ed at 75 tons, with but 25 tons ord
ered, a lot of cherries will have to be
placed on other markets.
Because of the exceptionally anre
crop wis year, Mr. Boutelie rtated
many of the cherries are smsll and
cannot be used in canning. During
average years the Rogue River Valley
unnmng company has put un be
tween 35 and 40 tons of cherries, but
due to lack of money with whtcn to
ouy fruit the people have failed to
use the normal amount and the
market has therefore dropped.
ine canning company here, he
stated Is paying from three to five
cents a pound for cherries. In the
Willamette valley the price range Js
two and a half to three and a halt
cents. If the prices were higher, the
canners stated, the cannery as well
aa the growers would make more
money.
Sixty people are now emDloved at
the cannery and the cherry run will
probably continue through 10 days
or two weeks.
Although growers have stated to
the Mall Tribune that a plan Is un
derway to get the cherries canned on
a contract basis, Mr. Boutelle said

that such a program had not been
advanced to the cannery. If such
were done, he stated, he did not
know where the fruit would be mar
keted, if preserved. In view of the
small demand, he said, the best irult
naturally gains precedence, and large
cherries are required for sale.
There are numerous cherry plant
ings In the Rogue River valley, and
the Westerlund orchard, one of the
largest, Carl Y. Tengwald, manager,
stated yesterday, has been unable to
obtain a market for Royal Anns. Ha
stated that he would be willing to
pay for the canning of the cherries.
If he could get a concern to pack
them on a contract basis.
A big business has been line up
for the pear season, the cannery of
ficials stated today and when the
fruit is ready the plsnt will be run
ning at capacity.
