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.

Monthly meteorological notes ta
complied by w. 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.

ASHLAND C. 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.
