Messrs. Greer and Minkler went to
San Francisco the past week to con-
fer with the Smith-Emery company
who have analyzed and reported on
the mineral springs now under con-
sideration for piping into the city
The object OF the journey was to Sc
cure from this responsible coast firm
an agreement that they will put up
a bond guaranteeing to pipe the pro-
posed waters into Canyon Park at the
figure which they gave as an esti-
mate of the cost of same and also
guaranteeing that they can do same
without changing the qualities of the
waters. Wednesday a telegram was
received to the effect that their mis-
sion was successful and that the
Smith-Emery company are ready to
enter into such agreement.
Another mission of the committee
men was to interview the Oregon
California Power and Light Company
in regard to the small tract of land
which they acquired in Ashland Can

of the old Ashland Electric Light and
Power Company. More than a year
ago the company moved the old build
ing off this tract, which lies to the
west of the creek a short distance
from the picnic grounds. The COM
mitteemen aimed to represent the
matter of the springs project to the
big power company in such light that
the grounds would be donated. TIC
that end they had a letter of recon-
mendation from Manager Malone oi
the company's local plant. The Wed

Council Offers
To Lease Park

The city councils final move in the
matter of assisting in the care of
ChautauQua Park was taken at the
council meeting Tuesday night when
resolution was presented by Coun-
Gilman Ware providing that the
mayor appoint a special committee
of three with power to act, to make
arrangements between the city and
Chautauqua Association whereby the
care of their park would be placed
under the supervision of the city park
board-the association to retain its
rights and privileges as to camp
grounds during Chautauqua, etc. The
resolution contemplates the appropri-
alton of 1925 to the park board for
the purpose named. Mr.. Ware stated
that he believed this was the best
solution OF the matter and that he
believed it should be the councils
final proposition to the Chautauqua
Association, and that if they were not
willing to accept the provisions in
writing the matter of assisting in the
care of the park should be dropped so
far as the city is concerned. Mention
was made in the course of the discus
sion that the association had signified
its Willingness TO enter into propo-
sition to lease the park to the city at
5000 per year. No action was taken
on this proposition.

At the adjourned regular meeting
of the City Council held Tuesday
evening the Council rescinded their
former action calling a special cleo
tion to be held on June 9th, for the
purpose of creating a board of com
missoners to take charge of the
$175, 100000 to be raised by bond
issue, and with such fund build, in
stall and construct an auxiliary water
system, under the terms and condi-
tions of the resolution calling the
election.
The reasons advanced by the Coun-
ell for this subsequent action are as
follows:
The original resolution provided
for a board of three commissioners,
naming them as a part of the pro-
posed charter amendment, but when
the matter came before the Council
for the first time there appeared a
strong sentiment against the naming
! of these commissioners and electins
them as a part of the amendment
without giving other possible aspir-
ants an opportunity to be elected to
the commission, Notwithstanding the
fact that the three parties named had
been unanimously endorsed by 9
mass meeting largely attended by the
citizens of Ashland. The Council
thereupon struck the three names
from the proposed amendment, which
action necessarily occasioned the call
ing of special election, aside from
that called for the purpose of amend
ing the charter, to elect the three
members to the board. This raised
the legal question as to whether The
Council had power under the char
ter of the city or under the ordi
nance extending the provisions o
: the initiative and referendum
laws of the state to the cit!
to call special election for the pur
pose of electing officers. After ;
careful examination of the ordinance
and the charter it was discovered tha
the Council was given no such express
power. 1t was therefore thought ad
visable to rescind the action of thu
Council as to the proposed charte
amendment until day in the nea
future when another amendment viii

The city council will use every
means to aid the bond election and
safeguard the water funds after the
bonds are sold.
When the call for the amendment
to the charter was issued last week
the council overlooked the necessity
of also issuing call for an election
for the commissioners.
When this oversight was discovered
the council had already taken an ad-
journment to Tuesday night.
The law provides that fifteen days
notice shall be given of an election.
In order to do this it was necessary
to call a special session Monday after
noon
The city attorney was Of the opin,
ion that in the absence of specific
provision in the charter for power ol
special meetings performing this act
and in order that no loopholes NIGH
be left in the legal phase of the ac
ton, it was advised that the council
rescind its action and perform thes'

with the election and desire only tha
the election may be perfectly lega
and all their acts thoroughly under
stood.

Clubs viii Cooperate
In Crater Lake Park

Crater Lake Park is one of the
great assets of Southern Oregon. Ac-
cording to park data, in 1913 there
were 6,253 persons visited the Crater.
In 1915 there will be the greatest
influx of people through the valley
that has ever occurred in its history.
Now what do these facts lead to? 1t
means that in order to reap the ben
eft that arises from having such an
attraction within our midst, people
must be able to get TO it; people must
be able to make II side trip as they
come through on the Southern Pa
cific. This means that the roads that
lead to the Crater Lake Park must
be in perfect condition.
Under the direction of the secre-
tary of war, in 1913 there were
twelve miles of road within the park
completed, and this year there will
be about twenty more miles finished.
The whole park system OF over sixty
miles must be completed to bring
about satisfactory results.
Mr.. Steele, the superintendent, has
done his best with the funds provid-
ed-he has built roads, cleared out
the underbrush and beautified the
park, but has not had sufficient
amount OF money provided to com
plete the important features.
