PAVING Of ELEVENTH
EAST To BEGIN SOON
Property Owners Have De.
posted $45OO for Expense
on intersections.

Advertising for bids for the paving
of Eleventh East street directly
through Highland park along Highland
Park drive, was begun during the week
by the city commissioners, 1t is esti-
mated that active work on the extern
sivo improvements through this district
will start within six weeks or less. The
street paving will carry with it curbing
and guttering, the laying of additional
water mains, the extension of gas mains
and many other improvements.
Kimball g. Richards, land merchants,
and other large property owners in the
district affected by the new paving, de-
posted with the commissioners this
week $4,000, which is to pay the city s
portion of the expense on the intersec.
tions. This is the first time in the his
tory of Salt Lake that the property
owners affected have paid directly for
the paving of the intersections OF
streets. The last legislature passed a
bill which would enable a majority of
property owners to secure paving and
other street improvements at their own
expense, but the bill was vetoed by the
governor. The Eleventh East paving
is In realjt" an extension of the beau
tiful Ninth East drive, and will add
more than a mile to the already splen-
did automobile roadway. It will extend
through one Of the most beautiful resi-.
dence sections of the city, and at Thir-

EXCLUSIVE FEATURES

For the coming season 1t Is an

first time On q medium priced car.
All bodies will be. Of four, six and
seven passenger design. Wheel base

A very nice arrangement for carry

Of the car. This arrangements permits
entrance to the front of the car from
either the right or left side.

The tops for the coming year are
Jiffy curtains. The body and general
lines are Of the latest European type.
The rear springs are swung under
the axle instead Of the top, which
gives the car very low appearance,
but with q road clearance of nearly
eleven inches at the lowest point. All
springs are two and one-half inches
wide with large number of very thin
leaves, which adds very much to the
ease and riding qualities.
Already Mr., Botterill states that both

SAYS A|R-T|TE IS
PERFECT COMPOUND

"With SO many claims for merit
say Culver e. Richardson, state agents
for Air-tite, prevailing among the
preparations now on the market for
filling punctures in automobile tires,
the manufacturers of Air-Tite, the new
est and most successful of the puncture
sealing compounds, have prepared con
else statement of some of the things
the liquid will do.
"AirTite is the only perfected COM
pound known that seals the outer and
inner punctures of tires and tubes in
stantly and automatically, and length
ems the life Of the rubber-so reads the
latest statement sent out by the com.
pany.
'FWhile this does not tell the entire
story of AirTite, it gives the automo-
bile owner something to study on in the
matter of seeking solution of the
ever present problem Of how to avoid
puncture mending while on the road. -

CARRIER CONFESSES
ROBBING THE MAILS

inspectors here announced today that
Charles I. Wagner, mail carrier at
Hachita, N, NJ, had confessed that he
was the man who robbed the mail car.
ried by himself, thus solving the mys-
terry surrounding crime that has pug
zled the federal authorities for several
weeks. Wagner also confessed that he
shot himself through tho arm to give
color to his story that he was held up
b. two Me1icans.
tollowing the announcement of the
robbery, the government sent squad
of soldiers on the trail Of the supposed
highwaymen. Two Mexicans were ar.
rested and identified by Wagner as the
robbers The Mexieans proved alibis,
and were released,
It is not known how much loot was Sc
cured by the robber.

AUTOMOBILES AND GOOD ROADS

has been transmitted to the rear
axle by a single hevel pinion and
single bevel. driving year Therefore
there could be at all times. and
under all the various conditions Of
travel which might arise. only one
ratio between the. revolutions OF the
engine and the revolutions Of the
rear axle as 1t absorbed the power,
except for the changes afforded by
the shifting OF the transmission gears
by the hand lever. Now. however.
by means OF the new axle, the Cad
lilac will have two direct drive gear
ratios in transmitting the power to
the rear wheels.
Usually the single direct drive
gear ratio ranges from 3:5 TO l down
TO to l, according TO the car aud
according TO the success Of the me-
ratio best adapted to his particular
car. That single ratio had to do
the best II could under all circum-
stances. Now. with two ratios, there
Is just double the means for promot-
ing the economical and efficient ap-
pication of the power developed by
the engine to the driving Of the
car.
On the 1914 Cadillac the low d.
rect drive gear ratio is 9.66 to i;
2.5 to L. The low Is especially adapt
ed for city driving where traffic
problems are met. where speed must
be low and stops and starts frequent,
a simple convenient electric switch
changes the gear ratio from the low
direct to the high direct and the
car is ready for conditions which
permit a speed rate of sixteen miles
per hour or more.
With the high direct gear ratio
In operation at any given speed OF
the engine. the speed Of the car is
Increased about ~ per cent over
what 1t would be with the low direct
gear ratio This point is illustrated
thus: At an engine speed OF TOO
revolutions per minute with the low
direct gear. the car speed Is twenty
one miles per hour; employing the
high direct gear will Increase the
speed to thirty miles per hour with
out any increase In engine speed.
One OF the prime benefits claimed
Is lower fuel consumption because
OF the facts Just stated and because
the fuel Is used to greater advan-
tage.
There are several other features
Of the 1914 Cadillac that are attract
Ing much attention; an improved and
sinpli6ed Cadillac Delco electrical
automatic cranlSing. lighting and ig-
milton system; a more efficient car
buretor; stunning body designs and
many refinements Of details.
