AUTO BUILDERS REFUSE
TO MOVE TO CANADA.
BY HI MuTCHELL-LEwIS MOTOR
COMPANY.


When Canada Enthusiastically present.
ed Uncle Sam with the reciprocity
mitten it was quite generally believed
on the Canadian side of the line that
there would be a large influx Of Aincr-
lean manufacturers, and it was thought
that this would be especially true OF
the automobile maker. Such, however.
has not been the case. The manufac-
turers of the Mitchell car were offered
very fiattering inducements for the
erection II a Canadian plant, and they
made q most careful investigation OF
the cost of manufacturing in Canada
and concluded hat they could much
better afford to build their cars in the
States and pay the Canadian duty than
to manufacture in Canada itself.
In the Ease above mentioned there is
more to be learned by the American
manufacturer contemplating a Cana
dian plant than appears on its face,
as the Mitchell company does a very
large business with Australia, South
Africa, New Zealand and other English
colonies which have a lower rate OF
tariff on Canadian goods than on those
from the States, but in spite of this
the Mitchell company could not see
anything but a loss in a Canadian
plant.
II the investigation of other Ameri-
can manufacturers results similarly 1t
will be something of q blow to u
Canadian cousins who voted so en-
Enthusiastically against reciprocity.

AUTO-JACK IS
POWERFUL MACHINE.

An auto-jack and tire saver exhib-
tied at the automobile show lifts all
four wheels of thu car off the ground
at once. The jack consists of two rec
tangular steel frames, which lean
against tho car axles at an angle. In
opposition a powerful differential jack
screw pushes the car backward, bring
ing the tilted frames into an upright
position, thereby lifting the entire car.
A hot-watcr heater system for auto
mobiles heats the interior Of limou-
sines, provides ~foot-warmers for open
cars and keeps the water In tanks and
radiator from freezing. 1t also keeps
the gasoline at a temperature Of va
porization and the motor warm and
easy to start. This Is accomplished by
a small gas burner on the running
board of the car. The gas is generated
from a small gasoline pressure tank
on the car by the same system used in
steam automobiles, and by a simple
piping arrangement 1t keeps the water
from freezing at all times, and fur
nishes a hot-water heating system for
the inside of the cal. 4A

SAYS CANAL BILL
FAv0Rs RAILROADS
Abandonment Committee Be-
Iieves municipalities Should
Be Allowed to Buy Property.

That the bill for canal bandorlmen
has been framed more advantageously
for the Lehigh Valley and the Fupnc
Service and less for the city OF New
ark was the contention at the meeting
OF the canal abandonment committee
Yesterday afternoon in the rooms Oh
the Board of Trade.
The representative men present we're
not prepared to state just wnat inc
bill should offer, but they were unani-
NOUS in their objection TO Senate Dill
} No. AZ as it is now being considered
at Trenton.
The suggestion of James Reilly, sec
retary of the Board of Trade met
with approval, that the m go
on record as finding the bill unsatis-
factory: second, that Newark 1nves-
tigate and define its interest in he
matter: third, that a committee re-
port to the legislative committee at a
subsequent time just what Newark
should have by way of legislation to
properly safeguard it's rights and give
it the power to which it is justly en-
titled.
we ought to fight the bill to the
last ditch" said William Mungle.
.sTllere's nothing in it for Newark.
"Tbe municipalities SHOULD. a first
bid on the canal property" said he
Newark can't go in and bid against
the Public Service Company"
I'VE don't want the Public Service
Company , o dictate to the city of New
ark" said George f. Reeve. w should
have the prior option on the purchase
of the canal.
Mr. MungIe said: What should be
done would be to have a commission
appointed to make an appraisement
of the property fror. Phillipsburg to
Jersey City and divide this apraise-
ment In parts according to the various
municipalities. It you'd tale w or
three :lonths. Then the Governor
should call a special session of the
Legislatu; . to consider solely the Nor
ris canal legislation"
Richard C. Jenkinson said that New
ark needed q wide boulevard from
Broad street to Newark bay to relieve
the congestion at Broad and Market,
and he contended that the canal prop
erty should be devoted to a wide thor
oughfare. with a subway, Il practica-
BILE, or surface transportation.
The Board OF Trade will extend an
invitation to the members of the
Board of Works, the Essex County
assemblymen, the Common Council. the
City Planning Commission, the Mayor
and legislative committees to attend a
meeting for the discussion of canal
abandonment legislation, which will be
held Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock
in the rooms of the Common Council.

cludes George +. Reeve, Moses Plaut,
Curtis r. Burnett, Edward Randolph,

| made during the past year he has done
much better than the average citizen
who has kept pretty close oversight
OF what has been doing.
The general understanding that the
building will not be ready in Septem-
ber as promised. brings upon Mayor
Pattangall severe criticism. Citizens
are claiming that he has been out of
the city altogether 100 much of the
time to appreciate what the delay has
meant to the taxpayers in dollars and
cents. 1t is also minated by others
that he has not cared one way or an
other whether the building was COM
pleted so long as his close political
friends. Mr.. Witham and Mr.. Pollard,
were drawing funds cut of the citizens.
At the time Mr. Pattangall was
nominated for Mayor a great many of
tie heavy taxpayers of the city pro-
tested vigorously that he ought not to
be asked to stand at the head of a
growing municipality while he occu-
pied the position of attorney
a State office which is supposed to
command a mans whole time. Mr.
Pattangall argued as vigorously that
the attorney generals Office was a
snap and that few hours each night
In Watervile would suffice for the
handling Of the city's affairs. The
people are now discovering that the
heavy taxpayers were right in their
demands. Mr.. Pattangal is never in
his office at the city building, at least,
in hours when business men would
care to meet him to. discuss important
business matters. Instead, he is out
of the city, usually campaigning in the
interests of the Democratic party
The people of Watervilie are broad
minded enough to find no objection to
any man aftiliating with any political
party he may choose, but they are not
content to stand aside and let the
mayor neglect his duties, and eontin-
ually fool the people on the time of
completion and. the expense involved
in the erection of an important NUM-
cipal building.
It is stated that the new High
school building when completed VIII
cost in the neighborhood of s1oo,Ooo
only $4,000 of which was expended in
the basement changes on account OF
the auicksand. Where the 100000, or
more. has gone to is what is interest
ing the god people of Waterville. The
proposed investigation, now planned
for by private citizens who are not
satisfied with the way matters 9aVe
been going, will doubtless bring some
things to light which will be of inter-
est to Waterville people

WATERvILLE WANTS TO
KNOW WHY IT is so.
School Building Costing Many Thousands of
Dollars too Much, to Furnish Snaps for
Mayor PattangalPs Friends--
Officials Receive No Satisfaction.

Watsryille, Me, Aug. 27.-tSpeciaD.
There Is common rumor on the bust
ness street day of an investigation,
presently to be made, of the cost to
the city of the new High school build
ing. The purpose of the investigation
is to ascertain, if possible, why small
crew of men has been kept at work on
the building for more than a year
when a larger crew could have adj
vanced the building toward compile
ton early in September, and just why
ii is necessary to keep a building in
spector employed at five dollars per
day during all this time.
In May of 1911, the superintendent of
schools, Herbert c. Libby, sought an
Interview with Mayor William r. Pat
tangall in order that he might receive
information of the time when the
building would be ready for occupan-
cy. The mayor assured him as well
as other school board officials that the
building would be ready the following
September. But as the weeks went
by, no effort whatever was made to
complete the structure, and all hope
of occupying the building in the, fall
was given up by Supt. Libby.i Later
came the discovery of quieksand in
the basement which required, accord
ing to the, methods followed by the
Contractor. e. Payson Witharn. over
$4,000 to remedy. atn g,a
In June, 1912, over year later, the
mayor again assured the school board
authorities that the building would
be ready for the school children in
September. With the coming of a new
school superintendent, Mr. d. Lyman
NORWOOD. came further assurances
from the mayor that the building
would be ready, and. 1t is understood,
Supt NORWOOD went forward with
his plans for housing the increasing
number of pupils. Now it is discov-
cred that the building will not be
ready for occupancy before January,
1913. il it is then.
During the past year small crew
of men, such as might be employed in
building common dwelling house, has
been engaged to work upon the struc-
ture, and these, under the direction of
Contractor Witham, have been MAX
ing snail Roadway in work which the
whole community want completed i'm
mediately In the meantime, too, the
building inspector. Mr.. l.. C. Pollard,
has been making a daily trip out to
the Gilman Street hulk, drawing
therefore the nice little sum of So per
day. or some $1,000 per year. II he
has been able to see any Roadway
