I'm 71 and in good shape, but
I'm not a candidate for anything.
However, following a brief
meeting last night between Mr.
Truman and Massachusetts for

who is best for America and a
candidate with the widest ap
peal." Mr. Truman left Boston for

Billing System
Changed at Ashland
Ashland The Ashland city

ing electric meters under a new
system this week and got noth

trouble.
City Superintendent E. C. Bie
gel said the electric department
has received complaints that
light bills have been coming due
too early, have been too little,
or have been too much.
However, the confusion will
only be temporary. After this
month, billing will be the same
as in the past and bills will
come due on about the same day
customers get their bills in
October.
Under the new system, some
meters will be read every day,
and bills will be sent out every
day. In the past, all meters in
the city have been read on one
day, and all bills came due be
tween the 1st and the 10th of
each month.

Supply Studied
For Central Point

Point city council this week dis
cussed a preliminary agreement
by which the city would be fur
nished an additional supply of
water through Elk City Water
district. -

pation by Central Point in con
struction of a water main from
Medford to just south of Central
Point. The proposal was submit
ted several months ago, but be
cause of legal technicalities the
district was reorganized and a
new bond . vote held at which
residents favored issuing bonds
for the water system.'

" The preliminary agreement
cites $3S,746. as Central Point's
share in construction of the wat
er, line. The district proposes to
deliver 1,000 gallons per minute

ment. City Attorney Kent Black
hurst and Recorder Arden Pink
