Editorial Correspondence
"TOMORROW citizens of Medford will go to the polls to vote
on a bond issue of $80,000 to finance a hew water reservoir.
The publio has been fully informed regarding the project; the
facts have not been concealed, no propaganda in favor of the
reservoir has been disseminated. Members of the board of water
commissioners have no ulterior purpose in seeking approval for
additional storage. They are all 'honorable men, giving their
constructive service to the city of Medford without compensa

pondered and thoroughly studied. We should heed their advice.
Anyone who has thoughtfully studied the proposition cannot

If a break occurs in the pipe line, then the reservoir is drawn
upon. Last August 12 the people of Medford consumed 8,850,000
gallons of water, more than twice the capacity of the reservoir.
That means that if the pipe line had been broken, the reserve
supply would have been exhausted in less than half a day!
There would have been considerable inconvenience and actual
suffering. . ,
We can no longer afford to

there and we should not trust to luck. Building an additional
reservoir with a capacity of 10,000,000 gallons js insurance for
the future. No intelligent person would think of cancelling his
insurance simply because he has not sustained loss from a fire
or suffered 'injury from an accident. Likewise no intelligent
person would pass up this opportunity to insure an adequate
supply of water under all conditions.
Business men of Modford recognize the practicability of an
additional reservoir. They know the value of insurance. That
is why the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, through its
bonrd of directors, has approved the project. That is why the

1938.
Why has fli'e proposition come up at this timet Simply be
cause the federal government has inHde an outright grant of
$65,250 toward the estimated cost of $145,000. The only strings
attached to the gift were these: the people of Medford had to
vote on the proposal before November 1 and, if approved, the
project must be started not later than Dec-ember 15. If this
gift is not accepted, the money will be used to finance projects
in other parts of the country and Medford will be the loser.
The sensible thing to do is to accept this gift. The additional
