MYSTERY Open Throughout The Year CP Officials Ask Revised Schedule Central Point Central Point city officials requested a revised water rate schedule at a meeting of the Medford Water Commis sion recently. The delegation, composed of Central Point Mayor Donald E. Faber, Councilman M.-C. Glea son, City Recorder Arden Pink ham and Bob Padgett, suggested that the sale of water to Central Point be treated as one large service with the accompanying rate schedules. Members of the water commis sion asked that more detailed figures on the water rate prob lem be presented at the commis sion's January meeting. Recent increases in the Med ford water rate were behind the request. A new contract between the two cities will not be signed until after the January meeting.
