Effective March l, the price of the Chalmers sx4O
will be $1450 b. Detroit. This is increase of 500
over the present price is made necessary by the sharp
rise in cost of materials.
For instance aluminium which sold for 19 cents pound
only few months ago, brings SO cents.
Copper has risen from "A cents to "a cents.
Vanadium steel year ago brought SlS5 pound. Now
it sells for $3.50
High speed steel, formerly at S1.O5 pound, now is
worth 1885.
Leather formerly 20 cents foot brings SO cents,
and
All told, it costs S11S22 in raw material to build
the sX-40 than it did months ago. AS this
is considerably in of profit per car only
TWO courses were open to us.
One was to raise the price.
The other was to lower the quality.
To follow the latter meant zone year. This
kind Of an automobile Chalmers has built and
will build.
Therefore, rise in price the only procedure pos
sible
We regret that increase in price is necessary but
feel that other manufacturers Of automobiles will be
forced either to increase the price lower grade of
materials.
For il is not possible to buy superior products in the
open market at any less price than Chalmers pays
We think only fair those VINO have planned pu1
take this opportunity of saying chat will accept orders
at that price up to midnight February 29 Thereafter
the price of Sl,450 f. o. b. Detroit will prevail.

Tallahassee, March 21.-Mayor
Adolph Greenhut, of Pensacola, spent
today in Tallahassee, coming over to
see If Gov. Trammell intended fore
ing the commissioners of Pensacola
to make public the recent audit of the
city's books and accounts. Mayor
Greenhut, who asked for the confer
ence, spent more than an hour in the
executive offices, but would say moth
ing, except that he was trying to save
money for the city Of Pensacola. He
declined to talk, and said he wanted
to see how the governor looked.
However, the governor stated that
Mayor Greenhut wanted to know
whether or not the report Of the re-
cent audit should be published. The
governor told him that the law said
publish it, but that this was 3 matter
for the commissioners to decide; that
the law did not say for the governor
to publish it, and he left it to the
commissioners.
TrammeIl said he told Greenhut
that he, the governor, had no control
in the matter and no duty to perform
Greenhut told the governor the city
officials would handle the matter. The
governor stated he only employed an
auditor because Of the special pro-
vision of the charter providing for an
audit when petitioned for by fifty
voters, the city to pay for the audit.
The governor also said that Greenhut
complained Of the charges for the
audit being excessive, claiming that
the same auditor had checked the city
books up to January 1, 1915, and that,
therefore, &c was only necessary for
him to audit the records from the LIST
of January, 1915, - October 1, 1915.
The governor did not send for
Greenhut, but the mayor asked for a
conference. The governor has no
appointive or removal powers In cities
and no authority to compel publica-
ton, except as chief executive to see
that all laws are enforced by sheriffs
and prosecuting officers.
