Not A Dollar Lost By Fire In September Only Trash and Brush Blazes Bring Out Pumper Not one dollar went up in nmoke and fire within the city limits of Klamath Fans during the month of September. In other words, the .September fire loss was just a large zero, according to the monthly fire report filed this morning by Fire Cbtat Keith K. Ambrose. Two trash riren and one brush fire called the fire truck out on three calls during the month, but not one of the little biazes Incurred n financial loss. "The fire loss for the past two or three months might just as well have been nothing," Klre Chief Am brose ejaculated this morning. "Two of the fires since June were started with flat irons nnd two were of in cendiary origin." Klamath's fire insurance rate is one of the lowest In the northwest owing to adequate fire protection.

This rumor goes on further and says that Is why the directors of the chamber tabled the report and later accepted the hybrid thing that the members are now asked to vote up on. Position Btated In semi-confirmation of this story, and apparently accepting the chal lenge contained in the alleged let ter from the Southern Pacific, four members of the chamber have taken I it upon themselves to place the committee's report before the mem- j bership. and with that end in view baVa mailed it, together with the j following letter, to each member of the chamber of commerce: Klamath Falls. Oregon I September 50. 1925. ! To the Members of the Chamber of Commerce: The undersigned members of the Chamber of Commerce feel that the resolution mailed to each member today, clouds the Issue ns outlined by the Railroad Committee of our Chamber. We enclose a copy of the orig inal recommendation reported to the Chamber by the Railroad Com mittee. This is only for your information and guidance, but In comparing the original report with the resolution as presented to you by the Chamber, we feel that this resolution, which yon are asked to endorse, should he turned down.

Construction Shows Slight Drop In Sept. $123,020 Represents Building Activity During Month In point ot number, new struc tures erected in September of this year far exceeded the number erect ed in September ot last year. But in point of total building in vestment involved, the reverse has proven to be true, according to rec ords available yesterday afternoon at the police judge's office. To be exnet September 1924 s building investment exceeds that of the same month in 1925 by just $100,050. September 1923 shows an aggregate investment of $130,000 while September 1924 was $230, 050. During August the records of the police judge show that $255,295 was expended tor building. A general survey discloses that fewer buildings but more small res idence are being constructed in Klamath Falls. Few of the homes exceed $2500, whole most are be ing constructed at n cost not ex ceeding $1000.
