CALIFORNIA FIGHT
OVER NAVAL YARDS
CONGRESS WOULD AVOID INTRA
STATE ROW; MAY ABANDON
PROJECTS.
(Chronicle's Washington Bureau.)
WASHINGTON, May 20. Senator
Pointloxter and the other Pacific coast
senators today are using every effort
to get an agreement on the Pacific
coast naval items so that they can be
considered in conference there. They
expect a hitter fight due to the Mare
flsland-AIanieda disagreements.
Pacific coast items are likely to be
eliminated from this naval appropria.
tions bill becauso the majority of
the senato does not want to bo in
volved in a clothes-lino fight between
localities in California.
The experts of the navy on several
occasions have said that Mare Island
navy yard is absolutely Inaccessible,
badly located and impossible to de
velop Into a first class general sup
ply bane for the Pacific fleet, that it
is slow In handling ships and all
work would havo to be done at a din
advantage even with new channel
dredging and other proposed improve
ments. Advise New Base.
The exports have recommended that
a new general supply base bo started
at Alameda where there Is an ideal
location, well protected from hostile
fleets and at tho same time immedi
ately accessible for handling many
ships In tlmo of emergency.
Congressman Curry, god-fathor of
Mare Island navy yard, started a fight
against tho Alameda plan and has
gono so far with it that it Is more
than probable that any appropriation
for Pacific bases will go over at least
for another year and may be min
imized or abandoned' altogether.
Such action would Involve an avia
tion base at Pugot sound, the Alameda
base at San Francisco bay, a sub
marine base at Los Angeles together
with provision for purchasing Cnmr
Kearney near Los Angeles and matt
ing it Into a dirigible balloon bas
for tho navy and tho completion of a
num'bor of naval projects at San
Diego.
Ultimately tho expenditures on a,U
these plans would aggregate more
than 1100,000,000 and might be a
high as $150,000,000.

Firestone Plant No. 2
Daily Capacity 16,000 Tires; 20,000 Tubes
u - Devoted Exclusively to the
" Manufacture of
30x3K Size
Non-Skid Type
How the Price of $ 1 3.95 on 30x3y2-irich
Firestone Tires Was Made Possible
It is in this period of much
needed economy that the full
benefit of Firestone's develop
ment can best be recognized.
The advantage of having two
great individual plants has per
mitted specialization in the
highest degree. Plant No. 1 is
devoted to the production of
Firestone cords tires that are
accepted as the highest devel
opment of tire building. Tire
repair men who judge values
best, class it as the sturdiest
carcass made. Forty-seven car
manufacturers have adopted
Firestone cords as regular
equipment during 1921.
Plant No. 2 was erected for
the sole purpose of making
30x3 Non-Skid fabric tires.
With a daily capacity of 16,000
tires and 20,000 tubes, this
plant permits refined produc
tion on a quantity basis. Its
output was 13,700 tires per day
during April.
It is such basic economies
that enable Firestone to
make a price of $13.95 on this
standard 30x3 tire the low
est price ever made on a
standard tire.
Firestone dealers help make
this $13.95 price possible by
accepting a smaller profit per
sale on this fast selling tire.
We see today the fulfilling
of what Firestone men have
worked for public support in
soundly ratifying the Firestone
standard of "Mqpt Miles per
Dollar."
