that day. The stock OF fall and winter
goods will be in by that time and this
liberal Offering on the opening day

A cordial invitation is extended to the

that the women do large share OF the

AS you step to the door and enter
the interior of the store you are at
once impressed with the attractive
decorations and fittings. The walls
are decorated "A light tint. with a line
of frescoing extending around the
border line between the side walls and
the steel ceiling. Extending down the
room is a series of splendid gas and
electric lights. Placed in the middle of
the floor are two large floor cabinets,
made almost exclusively Of plate glass.
The wood work is Of neat figure quar-
tered oak. Each Of these cases will
hold a hundred suits and keep them
absolutely dust free. When the doors
are thrown open and pushed back
along the sliding track the whole ar
Dor carrying the suits may be pulled
out Of the cabinets and turned from
end TO end to accommodate both sales
men and customers.
Along the west wall a full series Of
wall cabinets, with their glass doors
have an enclosing capacity of about
six hundred suits. The bars from
which the clothing is suspended may
be pulled out for the convenient show
ing Of the clothing.
The whole air of the store causes
one to proclaim it a truly "Metropoli-
tan" trading center. The place is
known as "The Metropolitan, The
Mans store" Everything in the es-
Enlistment bears out this character
istic. From the time that one enters

/ have thought these days, of a time
in the journey Of Israel TO the promis-
ed land. The golden calf had been
set up in the camp and worshiped with
snowy honors, but, suddenly, into the
midst of the unhallowed feasting
came Moses from the presence Of God,
his face bearing the lights of the
heavenly world upon it. 1t was only
an image they worshipped; they had
seen the Egyptians do the same thing
and caught the low ideal from another
people.
Moses was out OF sight and some
substitute for higher religion seemed
necessary. Even Aaron stood by in
acquiescense. You see popular
opinion was at the level Of the golden
calf, and the ten commandments were
Utopian and impractical. But Of the
shadow of Sinai came Moses with the
tables Of stone, and calf and worship
ers went down before them Evil was
slain by the righteousness Of law.

If monopoly is created and enthron-
ed by those votes of laboring men, why
then should they complain of the mas
ter they have chosen? Representing
majority, the laborers Of this country
represent all possible reform, and if
they fail in the needed intelligence
and moral heroism, they can look for
nothing but the growth Of the wrongs
they approve or permit. OF what
does labor complain? First, of class
distinctions and democratic institu-
tons and yet labor draws the severest
lines, and in the world of industry and
politics declares for class, and makes
its war form class standpoint.
Second, labor cries out against the
tyranny of capital. and yet organizes
a tryant which touches even liberty
and life, against all men who do not
choose to enter this organization and
pronounces their shibboleth until

MAYOR JOHNSONS ANNUAL ADDRESS
TO THE CITY COUNCIL

grading on Gresham, Oak and Winner
streets. These streets have been long
neglected and feel that this work
has not only been we'll done, reflect
ing credit on Mr. Fraley and the
committee in charge, but fully appre-
ciated by those who travel them most
especially.
One of the best pieces Of work in
this department was the construction
of our implement and machine house
on Water street, permanent con-
struction and at very small cost
and which shelters from the elements
all of the machinery and implements
belonging to the city, which machin-
cry and implements have been fresh
ly and we'll painted and stored for
the winter, a much-needed piece of
care and economy.
City Hall and Fire Station.
This may be the rare exception OF
the patch on an old garment" which
made the garment as good as new.
The old city hall has completely lost
its identity in the modern reconstruc-
tion and as it now stands 1t becomes
modern and convenient structure
that not only now but for years to
come will answer the needs of the
city and be a credit to our people.
| trust that all may live until they
shall be able to say that Ashland
has outgrown this structure" and
believe that the time will come that
this may be truthfully said.
In addition to the number of office
rooms in the old building have been
added a splendid, well-lighted room
for the city engineer, room for
city electricians end two rooms for
the fire department: a modern motor
fire truck room, fitted in modern
style. In the rear of the new hall
has been constructed also concrete
woodhouse with concrete and cement
floor, in a part of the main room OF
which is located two public toilets.
The council room has not been
changed in size, but has undergone
refinishing, and when finished COM
pletely will be a more wholesome
sanitary and inviting room for the
various small meetings of the public
as we'll as for council meetings and
! recorders court.
/ The entire cost of the improve.
ments to the city hall will be approx
imately $4,000, the most of which has
been paid. The recorders office
bears a most dignified appearance
and is modern in every detail.
Fire Department.
In keeping with other progressive
movements, our new motor fire truck
was installed during the month o
September last, the result of the
bonds voted by the citizens of thu
city for this purpose at the election
of December, 1918. This expendi
ture of a sum approximating 5000
suggested, in fact demanded, a new
order of things in the matter of
fire department, and the only reason
able answer was that the department

Te the Members OF the Common
Council and the Citizens, Taxpay-
ers and Voters OF Ashland;
In submitting my report to you at
this time l do so with a degree of
modesty and pride.
II will cover at least q portion of
the improvements and progress OF
the past year, and contain a few rec
concentrations which l humbly sub
nit for your consideration.
Before speaking further of things
accomplished | wish to mention the
united efforts, painstaEing and gen.
erous sacrifice of the council, so evil
dent throughout the year, who have
stood for their convictions and yet
have had respect for the convictions
of others where there existed a vari-
ance in such a manner that a blend
ing of ideas was made possible in
most instances, and thereby the work
in hand made more pleasant. With
such a council We have been able to
accomplish au amount of effective
work with a greater degree Of econ
omy than would have been possible
under adverse conditions.
1t is little wonder, considering the
multiplicity of business in city even
of Ashlands size, that mistakes
should be in evidence occasionally,
especially when it is remembered that
those who have it in hand are men
who like most other citizens have the
burden of their own private affairs
TO bear, but who. without price, are
willing to make the sacrifice of time,
thought and energy that the city may
prosper and be in keeping with mod
ern and progressive civilization.
1t has been said that such positions
as that of councilmen or mayor or
other position given by the franchise
of the people are "thankless jobs, -
etc. ! have sometimes believed it,
yet have found as a rule that think
ing, fair-minded people appreciate
the situation fully and are ready to
help bear the burdens as far as pos
sible, and it has been pleasure in
deed to me to note this in the work
of the year just ended.
In referring to the work of the
various departments | shall be as
brief as possible. leaving the minor
details out, but which are matter
OF record and can be seen by anyone
desiring to do so, at the office OF
the City Recorder, or can find them
in columns of the local papers when
published.
Street Department.
A beautiful arch bridge of re-en-
forced concrete and cement has been
constructed on Mill street, costing
approximately $500, much-needed
improvement.
A bridge on Water street has also
been constructed and other improve
ments on that street, making it les!
unsightly as well as making 1t more
pleasant to travel.
There has been extensive Sidewalk
improvement and much work il

be newly created by ordinance and
brought under control of the city,
hence an ordinance was passed and
a new department created, the ordi-
nance providing that members be ap-
pointed by the mayor and subject to
approval or disapproval of council.
In the very near future no doubt an
ordinance will be passed providing in
detail complete government of the
fire department setting forth its re-
lation to the city, defining duty of
its members, compensation, etc.
This new method of government is
in keeping with the improved me-
chanical facilities and the money eX-
pended for same and places the re-
sponsibility of maintenance, use and
care jointly where it belongs and the
methods followed by every live city
wherever found.
a glance in our new fire truck
gives one an added assurance of bet
ter protection against loss by fire.
l am reminded just here that the
purchase of this new fire truck was
case of where one thing led to an
other. By the time it arrived we
| found it necessary to build a special
room for it, and an attempt to do so
on its present location brought into
question the matter of appearance
when finished, and after several days
of reconsidering led to abandonment
and a general reconstruction of the
city hall, which l am fully convinced
was the right thing in the right place.
would recommend a careful study
of the fire department by the coun-
ell. | believe in an increase of its
made strong as possible, not only in
numbers but in real efficiency by
following and understanding a we'll
defined system of service and opera
ton.
When this department is in proper
shape to render the right service to
the city we will receive the new and
lower rates of insurance promised us
by the Pacific Board of Underwriters
Water Department.
Some good improvements have
beel. made in this department, the
greater perhaps of which was the ac-
quiring of additional lands in Ash
land Creek canyon, the principal pur-
chases being that of the Hosley and
Praytor places, of which the latter
has always been menace to our
water supply, and l feel that no bet
ter work has been done by the com.
mittee OF this department.
Another good improvement made
during the year was the addition
made to the dam at the upper intake
greatly increasing its capacity.
| believe the recent action of the
council in the matter of laying &
24-inch water pipe between Crowsor
Hill and the power house was bust
nesslike move. This will remove the
choke existing in this part of the
system.
Without a bond issue we canno
make extensive improvements in an!
one year in this department, but
would recommend, as far as it il
possible, the purchase of more water
shed along and adjacent to the creel
where it is hazardous to pure waite
supply, and when the price is. mad'
