COFER IS CHOSEN
The two worst pieces of had
road In the city South Sixth
street, and Oregon avenue, on the
road to Shlpplngton are at last
to lie made passable without the
well known bump and Jolts, the
straining of auto springs, and the
Indignant outbursts of Klamath
residents and tourists as they are
jostled along from one rolling
wave of bumps, to another at
short, very short. Intervals.
Tom Dixon, road contractor,
with a working crew, will start
this morning to repair the South
Sixth street road, and as quickly
as that Is completed, or perhaps
sooner, work will be started on
the Shlpplngton road.
Free rock and asphalt for the
Shippington road was offtred to
the city by the Warren Construc
tion company at the city council
meeting last night. The offer was
based upon the condition that the
city keep the reconstructed road
In condition.
The company's offer, according
to Mr. Arnold, who acted as
spokesman for the concern, was
prompted by the fact that the
Warren firm will soon open a
rock crushing plant at Hank's
spur, north of Pelican City, and
consequently will use the Ship
pington road a great deal.
The offer waa unanimously ac
cepted by the city council, and
arrangement were made to rent
a scarifier from the county for
conditioning tho road. ' "

WASHINGTON. July 20. With
price of tire going skyward, af
fecting millions of automobile users
!n this country, government official
are giving serious consideration to
the condition 'brought about by tbe
rubber monopoly exercised by Great
Britain and are looking about for
means of relief.
Aa a first step, congress will be
asked to open the way for rubber
production in the Philippines, in or
der to provide a supply free from
British control. According to rub
ber producers, legislation would be
necessary a present laws allow
lease of only 2600 acres to, one
corporation, which they say would
not be enough to make large scale
production, profitable.
Urltlsli Monopoly
The department cf commerce ha
completed a survey of possibilities In
the Philippines and tn Latin-America,
as directed by congress which
will be made public In a few days.
Without this report It is eKImated
that 6.000,000 acres are available
there for rubber growing. The
present world acreage Is under 4,
000,000. "
Beside the department ot com
merce, the critical rubber sit-uajtlon
1 now directly before the state de
partment. Secretary Kellogg, .. is
studying a memorandum . lata ne-
fore him by representatives oi tne
American rubber association recent
ly regarding the British monopoly.
U. rl. Hlggeirt t onsumcr
Great Britain controls 76 per cent
cf the world's production. in
iiniteri State on the other nana
consumes more han 70 per cent of
the world's rubber annually. The
industry In this country therefore
is virtually at the mercy oi xue
British producers.
On November 1. 1922. the Bri
tish parliament passed the Steven
sun act reetrlctlug production of
rubber In her possessions ny tne
levy of a prohibitive ur tax on ex
port above a certain amouui.
Under the restriction. duiu
rtvbber colonics can grow now only
65 per cent of former lull produc
tion. At first U "a 60 cent'
Under the law. the restriction Is
let down gradually as prices go
up. As a result of recent price
Increases, It Is expected the limit
will be raised to 75 prr cent on
August 1.
