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.

Chamber of Commerce
Group Urges Defeat of
Hybrid "Resolution"
REASONS ARE GIVEN
Directors Refused to Let
Members Consider Care
fully Planned Report
There Is an unconfirmed report
KoinK the rounds of the business
district this morning to the effect
that when the report of the rail
road committee was placed before
the directors, there was also sub
mitted n letter from one of the
representatives of the Southern Pa
cific to the effect that if the com
mittee's report were submitted to
tho membership of the chamber for
action that the members of the com
mittee would pay dearly for their
act.
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.
Yours truly.

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.
