There was a 90 per cent shortage of the last two named "vlttles" and it's a lucky housewife that can set ham n' eggs In front of her spouse these days. Incident ally, Klamath county has plenty of eggs. Lot of eggs In fact. Checking another shop, the butcher reported absolutely no pork. Beef and lamb supplies were dwindling to the point where the customer would prob ably be faced with a pound of ground round by the weekend. Still another store said it wat "cash on the line and take what you can get." No future order such as Sunday roast deliv ered Saturday were being ac cepted. This was the meat picture in Klamath county. Next week the working man will again carry a cold ham sandwich in his lunch providing there Is any cold ham. Anyway there arc still lots of eggs.

Regarding the "black snow" question, Kirby advised the com missioner that hog fuel was used not only by the heating company but by many other business es tablishments both In and outside the city. He stated it was a type of fuel which produces considerable quantities of smoke nd ash." "It so happens that our plant Is located In the downtown area where the smoke from its stack Is visible to the people and for this reason uninformed people have assumed that the heating company is primarily responsi ble for the sooty condition of the city when, in fact, that con dition results from a variety of sources and only a small per centage comes from our oper ations. Indeed, other establish ments took a leading part in op posing the ordinance when it was originally Introduced. "The heating company and all other establishments involved have taken every step possible under existing conditions with the shortage of materials, to im prove the situation and it has materially reduced the percent age of aoot which it contributes to the general and normal con dition of this Industrial commun ity. As stated above, a total of $13,681.87 was spent by us in connection with this matter. "We would also like to point out that the city authorities as well as the citizens of Klamath Falls shoiffd appreciate a central heating plant and endeavor to help instead of hinder the oper ation of same. We burn nothing but wood waste, therefore we are saving vital materials that our 250 customers would be using were it not for the oper ation of this plant. "It Is also a well established fact that due to the many users of steam, our fire losses are very low which enables our citizens to obtain an extremely favor able rate on their fire insurance. "We, of course, regret the ne cessity for this letter as we feel in these trying times that we could all De using our energy and thought on something that would be helpful toward win ning the war, rather than smear ing a business that is having enough trouble, as is all busi ness, during these perilous times." .
