WILL BUY AUTO TRUCK
That the City of Ashland viii Have
an Auto Fire Truck Was De-
cided Tuesday.

The vote upon bonding the city
for an auto fire truck must have
been very gratifying to the members
of the local fire department. 1t stood
1924 to 45S in favor of voting the
bonds. 1t is expected that as soon as
possible the city council will proceed
to the sale of the bonds and the pur-
chase of the truck. The Tidings
wishes right here to repeat what it
said before election. Every town has
its own problems to meet. The ma
chine that is best adapted to buck
ing snow may not be the best adapted
to plowing mud. The machine that
is best adapted to climbing lev hills
may not be best suited to climbing
greasy, muddy ones. And so on to
the end. And so the Tidings thinks
that the machine purchased should
be first tried out thoroughly right
on the ground.

$1,000 ATTORNEYS FEE
Maintaining City's Water Rights
Costs Round Sum for Attorneys
Fee AlOne-Fee Paid.

The matter of the rights of the
city of Ashland to the waters of Ash
land creek is proving an expensive
affair. The bill of w. J. Moore for
attorneys fee in the matter before
the Oregon Water Commission alone
amounts to $1,000. This bill the
finance committee refused to accept
the responsibility of approving and
1t was taken up in committee of the
whole and favorably acted upon, and
on this report was ordered paid.
1t is by no means certain that this
is the end of the expense in the mat
ter, as the parties claiming conflict
ing rights have the right of appeal
to the courts, and if the rights as
adjusted either by the commission
or the courts give Ashland an insult
ficiency of water it will be necessary
to condemn rights farther down the
stream, at an immense expense.

led This Afternoon.

The remains were taken to Medford
by MIR Wicks, a former employer of
Mr.. Smith, for embalmment, and
brought back to the home on Granite
street Wednesday afternoon. The
funeral took place at the family resi-
dence Thursday afternoon at 2
o'clock, conducted by Rev. w. II. Van
Scoy, assisted by the local lodge of
Odd Fellows, of which the deceased
was member and had filled most of

county beyond the constitutional
limit,
Concerning the first question the
opinion says in part:
According to the plain provisions
of section 105 of the charter of the
city of Medford, it is incumbent upon
the county of Jackson to build, main
tain and repair all bridges and cul-
Werts upon county roads in the city
and road district, the cost of which
is in excess of $40. Taking this sec
tion together with other sections re-
ferred to, and in view of the general
legislation of the state, we think it
was the intention of the Legislature
that the county of Jackson should
retain jurisdiction over the county
roads within the limits of the city of
Medford. To that extent, unless this
requirement is clearly within some
inhibition of the constitution, the
mandate should DO obeyed.
The highway upon which the
bridge is supposed to be erected is
embraced within the provisions of
section 937, subdivision 4, Lord S
Oregon Laws, authorizing the county
court to construct the bridge, and
for such purpose is to all intents and
purposes a county road"
