City Commissioners Close Out
City Park Concessions.
Company Ordered
to Vacate the Property.

The City park is to be freed Of con-
cessiOns. A resolution was adopted
by the city commission today de-
claring the contract between the city
and c. r. Jones. B. M. Garth, F. T..
Peyton, Henry Shaffer and J. E. Shat
fer and the city forfeited. They were
also notified to remove all their build
ings from the park.
The reason for the forfeiture was
the alleged failure of the concession
aires to comply with the terms of the
contract, both in the matter of paying
also for failing to operate a merry
go-rOund.
c. j. Jones was present at the meet
ing of the commissioners and asked
that action be deferred, but it was the
legal opinion of the city attorney that
the commission could not delay action
without waving its rights to declare
the contract forfeited, and the COM
missioners were anxious to have the
concessions removed.
According to Mr.. Jones, the original
cOncessionaires incorporated under the
name of the City Park Amusement
company. Recently they transferred
their interests to two men named
Cunningham and West who took out
charter under the name of the New
City Park Amusement company, ana
sold stock of the company. Most of
the stock is owned by colored people.
This company failed to make money,
and Mr.. Jones said it's interests had
recently been transferred to Mr.. Jones'
daughter. From what Mr.. Jones told
the commissioners, it seems that af-
fairs between the various concession
aires are pretty much tangled and
that Jone: has borne considerable
financial loss.

The buildings and lighting system
of the park cost $500 OF this
amount, the lighting of the park and
buildings cost $1,000. 1t was agreed
this morning that the city would pay
Jones for the park lighting after an
appraised value had been determined.

PRICES COME DOWN
Beneficent Effect Of New Tariff
Already Felt.
Reduction In Wholesale Price Of Wool
on Goods 10 Noted, and Consumer
VIII Reap the Benefit Of the
Lower Figures.

The new tariff has caused sharp
reduction In the wholesale price OF
woolen goods for the fall trade OF
1914. Americanmade worsteds, SER
ges, cheviots and the like are quoted
from 20 to 81 cents per yard cheaper
than the prices of a year ago. This Is
declared to be "in anticipation" OF
competition from abroad, When that
competition becomes a fact, further
reduc ons will be in order.
The question most discussed in
trade circles is whether the ultimate
consumer will get the benefit of lower
prices The general opinion seems to
be that he will not We have not the
slightest doubt that he will.
Naturally, jobbers and dealers Of all
sorts will do their best to take up the
slack caused by lower Wholesale
prices. They may succeed for a time,
though this is rather unlikely, But
sooner or later, the difference Is bound
TO be felt all along the line, and the
ultimate consumer will reap his due
reward
This is likely to show first in better
clothing for the same price rather
than the same clothing for lower
price, but 1t will be felt In every way
before long The only way to make
consumers pay the old extortlonate
rates would be vast clothing trust
and the season promises to be un-
healthy for trusts.
