We are grateful to the citiieni of this city and the adjacent area served by
Medford't city water for your fine cooperation during summer month in
conserving water. It ii important to keep lawns and gardens green and
even more important to meet household needs and keep a safe reserve against
possible fire on a large scale. You have been using water wisely and there is
every reason to believe that the summer danger season will be over without
serious shortage. However, we must continue to conserve until rainy season
Is really here and that's EVERYONE'S obligation and responsibiltiy. Re

Water
Use It sparingly en lawns and gardens
don't waterlog the soil as moderate irri

faucets are free from leaks. Please don't
let precious water run down gutters
that is inexcusable waste. Don't forget
that extravagance and waste of water is
