PAGE TETT MEDFORD IUIL TRTBWE. MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1935. CLUB IS TOLD Present Low Storage Pre sents Grave Risk, Duff Tells Kiwanians Issue of Bonds Now Is Favored Klwsnlans today wera pondering slartluur facta presented to tho Kl wnis club at lt weekly luncheon meeting at the HUl Med ford yeiter day toy Robert A. Duff, Biiperlnttfrid ut of the Med ford board of water oommtMloners, After hforlnp Mr. Duff, members of the club held a round table dls eiuslon and It was their consensus that as Individuals they should ap pro the bond Usue to be voted up on by the electorate Oeetober 26, to finance a new water rcs?T7oir toward the construction cf which the fed eral government has medc an out rteht flrant of $65,250. Duff emphasized that the new res ervoir would have to be built even tually and that the present was con sidered the most opportune time be-, cause of the federal grant. If It ls not built now, he pointed out, the city would have ta beer the entire expense later. "Tho board of water commissioners finds that the new reservoir Is a press ing necessity," Mr. Duff told the club, 'and members of the board feel that they would be derelict in their dutle? If they did not put the project be fore the voters now. I believe It la our solemn duty to place this respon sibility before the people." Pointing out that the present two reservoirs have a combined capacity of only 4,000,000 gallons, Mr. Duff stated that a break In the pipe-line might e.t any time deprive the city of water for a day or more. Not only would t-htg be a serious Inconvenience but a tlirefltcning' firo hazard, he tressed. Jn the summer months a huo vol ume of water Is consumed In the city daily, he informed the Kiwanians. Statistics show, Mr. Duff related, that this year the peak load was re corded on August 12 when for a few minutes consumption of wtr was tt the rate of 13,850,000 gallons per day, while on that same day the actual total consumption was 8,850, 000 gallons, or more than twice the capacity of the preaert reservoirs. The proposed reservoir, he explained, would have a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons, bringing the total storage to 14,000,000, e, reserve supply that Is necessary for safety. Mr. Duff explained that at several points the pipe-line Is liable to be broken by a washout In the Irrigation canal that parallels the pipe route from above. He recalled tha one day In 1031 a break occurred In the pipe-line that required several hours to repair, and when the repairs were completed the water In the rearvolr was down to an extremely low level. Just a few hours after tn break was repilred and the reservoirs had been filled, the serious Fir Pine box factory fire oc curred, he reminded the club.If the fire had occurred a few hours earlier, he stated, the fire-ffghters would have been confronted by a serious handi cap and the fire might have devel oped Into a disastrous conflagration. Construction of the proposed res ervor Involves no increase in either taxes or water rates, Mr. Duff stressed. Tt Is better to build now when we have an outright federal grant of $65,350 than to continue present risks for a couple of years more when we shall have to build the reservoir any how, and without any ouUtde finan cial aid." Mr. Duff concluded. The club held a drawing for five prizes, without knowing In advance what the awards were to,be. When the winners were announced It was revealed that the prizes were messes of trout, presentee; by Everett Trow bridge, Winners were Judge H. D. Norton. Ted OeBauer, Carl Y, Tenjr wald, Sebastian Apollo and J. C. Thompson. ' Chateau Serving French Dinners The Chateau, two miles north of Ashland, has been taken over by J. K.

J .Hutchison, local meteorologist, show ' the warmest September for Medlord and vldnfty since records were started In 1011. Dally mean temperatures were almost all above normal, those on the 14tb and loth being the exceptions. Rain fall totaled exactly one-hair of the monthly normal amount. Tho forepart of the month was exceptionally warm with maximum temperatures averaging above 96 de grees for the first 10 days. Moderate and more seasonable temperatures followed this" warmer period and pre vailed until the 33th. A short period of high day temperatures again oc curred from the 26th to 28th, fol lowed by alight moderation on the two closing dsys. Mean dally temperatures averaged 68.8 degreea and established a new high mean for September, The aver age of dally maximum temperatures. 88.8 degrees, also exceeded all pre vious September records. The mean minimum of 48.7 degrees was next to the highest for that figure, a mean of 80.7 degrees having oc curred for September, 1018. An ex treme high temperature for the month registered 103 degreea on the 3rd. The all time record high tem perature for September Is 104 de grees. A minimum of 41 degrees on the morning of the 20th was the monthly lowest. Precipitation, although totaling 0.26 Inches, was of little value to agriculture owing to the entire fall being confined to a single day, the 14th; a refreshing rain accompanied by cooler weather for a few days following but commercially of little benefit. Normal rainfall for Septem ber Is 0.53 Inches showing a defic iency of 0.26 lnchca for the month and beginning a new rainfall season with a like shortage. Prevailing winds wore from the northwest and a total wind move ment of 3775 miles passed over the station at an average velocity of 5.2 miles per hour. A southeast wind of 80 miles per hour on the 14th was the highest velocity for the month. Max. Mln. Mn. Pre. Char. 1 07 83 74 .. Clear 3 08 68 76 ..

OF C. BACKS BUILDING DISPOSAL PLANT X ASHLAND, Oct. 8. fflpl.) Unanl moil support of the city council'! plan to construct a ewag disposal plant In Ashlsnd was given by the chamber of commerce board of direc tors meeting Monday noon when they went on record favoring passage of the resolution at the general elec tion to be held on October 16. The situation, Including need for the plant and advantage to be gained by Immediate construction, was out lined to the board by Frank Van Dyke, atttorney and a member of the board. Van Dyke said the bonds will be of self -liquidating nature and will not add a cent to the taxpayers' bur den. The charge per household will be less than 20 cents each per month and these rates will be worked out In accordance with the number of sewer connections at any given resi dence or business establishment. The necessity for a new plant arises from, the present condition of the septic tanks, said Van Dyke, who added that several cases of disease have been discovered recently that were definitely attributed to the use of Bear creek water, which will be purified when the new plant Is built. The plant will have to be built some time, he said, and It would be better and more economical for the city to go ahead with plans now while the federal government Is will ing to furnish 46 per cent of the necessary funds, not to exceed 48 per cent of the S80.000. Prank Jordan was elected by the directors to fill a vacancy created by the departure of Dr. B. O. Barkwtll, former president. T PAY BOOS!
