Rubber planters in crisis spark British act of Parliament
The article traces rubber production from colonial plantations in Ceylon and the East Indies through the 1920s market crash. It cites the Elevenses Act of 1922 restricting exports to stabilize prices, the impact on workers, and the shift in market dynamics as overplanting and price drops pressed the industry. It also notes industry authorities and motor users’ views on rubber costs, plus social consequences for workers.

Road repair plea cites cost and material choices in Northampton
J P Uno of Northampton writes that the Chapman Road should be rebuilt rather than patched. He argues a durable quartz gravel surface costs about £2300 per mile but would last longer and save long term ratepayer money. He urges using quarry material from local ironstone or quartz for walls and roadbed, criticizing clay and tram road waste.
