TIREMAKERS REFUTE
PREDICTIONS. OF SLUMP
Only Customary Decline in Busi-
ness Expected This
Summer

That current rumors OF overpro-
duction which will neceSsitate COM
plete shutdown of many of the
larger tire factories by July 1 are
utterly false is shown by exclusive
interviews secured by the trade paper
Tires with some of the most promi-
nent men in the industry.
The consensus of opinion seems TO
be that when the demand lessons in
the next two months. production
schedules will be cut from 10 to %
per cent, which is the customary
practice when seasonal slow downs
occur. This lessening of demand
will not be caused by any decrease
in consumer buying, but will be
caused by the dropping off of orig
lnal equipment business on the part
Of automobile manufacturers. Only
these tire manufacturers who fur
nish original equipment will be af-
Eected The smaller companies that
do business only through dealers will
not be obliged to cut production
schedules
Manufacturers have. about two
months supply of finished product
on hand. while a survey of 27,000
dealers in the United States. made by
one of the larger Akron tire COM
panies. shows that dealers are car
rying but siXty-day stocks.
w. o. Rutherford vice president of
the E. F. Goodrich Company; F.. A.
Seiberling, president of the Seiberline
Rubber Company, and William O'Neil,
general manager of the General Tire
and Rubber Company, assert emphat-
fcally that all talk of slump and
complete shutdown is absurd and
that no serious drop in tire business
or production impends.

MAKING FINAL. CHECK
in CAMPAIGN AGAINST
MALARIA IN AMERICUS
Forty Houses Being Inspected
Daily With Full Record for
Year Kept by Chambliss
THIS DANGEROUS SEASON
Malaria and Mosquitoes More
Prevalent Now Than Earlier
Summer Authorities Say


Inspectors working under direc-
ton of the City Board of Health
are making their final sanitation
check of Americas premises this
week, acc )rding to DIR. J. w. Cham
bliss. Since the beginning of the
work here the entire area of Amer
icus has been thoroughly organized,
DR.. Chambliss stated today, and
the health authorities nov have a
complete record showing the name
and address of every householder
in the city who is cooperating with
the board in the effort to elimi-
nate malaria. The names of those
who have failed in this respect are
also on file in the office of DR..
Chambliss and each detail in which
any householder has proven delin-
quent during the campaign is also
known.
In the compilation of the health
department records entries were
made of the location of every sur
face closet in Americas, whether or
not there is a bath tub or sink on
indicated premises not connected
with sanitary sewerage system
whether weeds, trash, Unused rub
Dish, cans or vessels are allowed
on indicated premises; whether or
not indicated houses are screened
adm where owners have co-operated
or neglected their duty in inspect
ing premises during the mosquito
elimination campaign.
DR.. Chambliss states that now is
the most dangerous season of the
year for malaria, with the disease
more prevalent, perhaps, than dur
ing any other season, and the clos
est possible inspection of premises
should be made at this time.
Where vessels are merely emptied
without being allowed to become
entirely dry, and where the interior
of such vessels are not washed out
by householders, says DR.. Cham
bliss" there exists danger that
mosquitoes may be propagated. :"
This statement was made, he ex-
planned, to satisfy certain house
holders who have reported the find
ing Of mosquito breeding places at
periods less than a week apart.
Wherever this is discovered, DR..
Chambliss states, it is due to the
failure of somebody to properly
clean all larvae out Of the water
when emptying vessels. This is par
ticularly to be guarded against in
the use of horse troughs, where
millions of mosquitoes may be bred
unintentionally through failure to
attend to this very important fea-
ture of The elimination.

LIGHTING SERVICE IS

Explanation of Interruptions as

The lighting and power service

hydro-electric line from Albany
came in for a complete panning be-
fore city council Mere last night,
and this morning a number of man
ufacturers and other large users Of
current added their protest against
the service being rendered.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of council by Herbert Kin
cey, manager of the Rylander Thea
ter, who told council the service be-
ing rendered was so unsatisfactory
and causes so much monetary loss
he believed council should provide
some relief. The statement caused
an immediate discussion of the pow
err interruption which tied up prac-
tically every industry here during
nearly all of Wednesday afternoon
as well as a part of the morning
hours.
Alderman Allison thought some
thing ought to be done to secure i'm
proved service, but had no sugges-
ton to make as to how this should
be done, which caused Mayor Poole
to remark that he thought the mat
ter should be taken up with the
parties with whom the city has a
contract.
Clarence Jeter, who is employed
by the city in the street department
volunteered the information that he
had gone to the steam plant of the
lighting company here during We'd
nesday afternoon and that he found
when he arrived there a fireman
was at work Getting up steam, and
that it was just an hour and twenty
minutes later when las pounds Of
steam was registered in the boilers.

ROTlRIANS To OPPOSE.
LEASE OF COAL LINE
BY COAST LINE RWY.
Resolution Presented by w. w.
Dykes Unanimously Adopted

Tennessee, Kentucky and Ala

A resolution requesting the In
terstate Commerce Commission at
Washington to withhold it's approx
al of lease to the Atlantic Coast
Line Railway company Of the prop
erty of the Carolina, Clinchfield g.
Ohio Railway for 999 years was
presented to the Rotary club at
it's luncheon Wednesday by Ro-
tarion w. W. Dykes and unani-
mously passed.
In discussing the reason for the
resolution, Mr.. Dykes said:
"The Atlanta Coast Line Rail
way company has acquired the con-
trolling interest of the Louisville
& Nashville Railway company and,
it SENS, has owned same for some
time. The L. & N. Ry. Co., owns
and controls the N. C. & St. L. Ry.
company
can of the coal fields of Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Alabama are
served directely by the L. & N.
Ry Co., and the N. C. & St. L. Ry.
Co.,; and it is the coal from all
of these fields that is distributed
throughout the Southeast and espe-
cially through Southern Georgia.
The coal fields of West Virginia,
located principally in the southern
part of the state, are divided from
the coal fields of Eastern Ken
lucky only by range of noun
tains, through which no railroad
has as yet traversed.
'1The coal fields of West Vir-
ginia, SO far as any benefit in
sures to the South and Southeast
is concerned, are served by the
Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Rail-
road company, which runs north
from Spartanburg, S. c., on up to

it connects with the C. & w. C. to
Greenwood, and there connects

making pot only direct route to
the Southeastern states and South
Georgia, but at present creates
strong competition with the roads
above named in the handling of this
coal.
'The Atlantic Coast Line Rail-
way company has succeeded in
reaching an agreement with the
Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Rail-
road company for a 999 years lease
of this road, which of course would
be equivalent to a purchase of the
property. This lease before be-
coming effective has to be APPROX
ed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. If approved, the A.
