CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD WITH
BRITISH SHIP OWNERS TO OBTAIN
FAIR TREATMENT FOR AMERICANS

MED cargoes of Egyptian cotton, al
though in many instances their bids
were lower than those of British ships
which got the contracts. Captain Fer
ris is understood to have instructions
to not only protest against such dis
elimination, but to insist that half of
both the direct and indirect cotton
shipments be carried in American bot
toms.
In negotiating with British shipping
interests, officials here say, the board
probably will take the position that
if its vessels are not assured fair
treatment it may be deemed advisable
to invoke retaIatory measures as pro-
vided for by the merchant marine act.
Chairman Lasker has discussed with
Eugene Meyer, director of the war fl
nance corporation, the providing Of
additional tonnage for American ships.
Mr.. Lasker is said to have urged that
the finance corporation, in advancing
funds for export of American goods,
stipulate that they be shipped in AM
erican vessels.

PROPOSED ROAD
BUILDING PLAN
Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis
and Rotary Clubs Are In
terested in Program.

TO ADHERE TO PLEDGES
Committee Will Take the Steps
Necessary to Insure Car

Because Of the attitude OF the county
commissioners on the road building
program, the chamber Of commerce re-
Gently invited the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs each to name a member of a
joint committee to investigate the pro-
posed budget. The members of the
committee are George P. Wentworth.
Hunter Brown, Adrian Langford, VIII
II. Watson and Charles J. Herbert.
This committee viii take whatever
steps are possible to insure the carry
ing out Of the pledges made to the
people at the bond election last Sep
tember.
Under the pledge made during the
bond election campaign SS000O in
bonds were to be fioated in 1921 with
a five mill assessment to take care of
the sinking fund and interest. The
assessment for general road purposes
was to be cut to 4 ID mills, bringing
in a revenue OF SS1, 900. The state
millage is one mill, bringing the total
millage for roads up to 10 12 mills
Although the county budget has not
been completed. the best information
obtainable on it IS that the assess
ment for general road purposes is to
be nine mills, with eight mills as A
sinking fund for bonds, which plus the
state one mill brings the total assess
ment for roads to is mills.
The assessment as proposed by the
board would bring In, with the auto
license tax, a total of S346 900 or S137-
600 more than was raised last year
for road purposes. The assessment as
pledged at the bond election would
bring in a revenue Of s211, 900, or a
saving of S1s5, 900 over the plan pro-
posed by the board.
Speaking of the road ts>ogram and
the bond issue, Commits Z Jer Went
worth said yesterday:
Several weeks ago asked Mr,
Reese questions in reference to tho
two million dollar bond issue at a.
meeting of the county commissioners.
Mr.. Reese stated that the attorney
