Water Rates at
Ashland Upped by
City Councilmen
Ashland, May 3 A revised
water rate ordinance, which will
increase payments to the city for
water used by residential, farm
and industrial users, passed by
a vote of five to one at a city
council meeting here last night.
The council authorized the
mayor and recorder to sign
notes whereby the city general
fund may borrow $5,000 from
the electrical fund for continued
maintenance of streets. The
street department was out of
money, and the loan will permit
minimum maintenance work to
continue. Street department men
were placed under the super
vision of the electrical depart
ment by council action.
Zona Not Favored
Planning committee members
indicated they do not favor ex
tension of a business zone on
Palm street to permit construc
tion of a self-service laundry,
and the committee will hold a
formal meeting soon to prepare
their formal recommendation
they said.
Offers to purchase the Third
avenue building originally
bought by the city for fire de
partment use were reported, but
ft was decided to call bids at a
later date.
The question of recalling May
or Thomas Williams and Coun
cilman Elmer Sheldon will be
placed on the May 19 election
ballot, Recorder John Austin re
ported, as a result of the filing
of recall petitions. A proposed
charter amendment to permit
sale of Ashland canyon timber
land will be voted on at the same

From Camp White
By L. J. "Tick" Malirkey
"People are friendly in Med
ford." Just who made this remark
about thre weeks ago is not re
called, but each day its truth
becomes more evident. Honestly,
folks here put one at ease and
do so without being artificial or
laboring under a strain.
Remembering that there were
a couple of dollars in another
branch of the united btateg iva-
tional, we made a trip to the
Medford branch, and Barbara
Crawford took over our prob
lem. Actually this Medford born
miss made "Private M." feel that
his account was the most impor
tant one in the bank, one helped
me open what no doubt is the
smallest checking account in the
town today.
In visiting with Barbara I
mentioned that Eddie Sammons
used to be on the Oregonian
with me as a cub reporter.
"Why, he is head of all of our
banks at the home onice in fort
land. We like him very much,'
she said.
That is Eddie Sammons for
you. Just as common as an old
shoe and never too busy that he
