will be $3.50 F. O. B. Detroit. This is an increase of

the sharp rise in cost of raw materials.

All told it costs Sl1822 more in material to build
the SX-4O than did some months ago. As this amount
is considerably in excess of net profit per only
two courses were open to us.
One was to raise the price
The other was to lower the quality.
To follow the latter course meant zone year. car.
This kind of an automobile Chalmers has never built
and never will build.
Therefore rise in price the only procedure
possible
We regret that increase in price is necessary but
we feel that other manufacturers of automobiles will be
forced either to increase the price lower grade

For it is not possible to buy superior products in the
open market at any less price than Chalmers pays
We think it only fair to those who have planned to
purchase the Six-4O, and have been quoted the $3.50
accept orders at that price up to midnight February 90

that profits were often sacrificed i'm behalf
of improved service.

WATERDEPARTMENT
SUBMITS 4 REPORT

During the month of August, ac-
cording to a report filed in the office
of the city clerk yesterday, a total
of 46,114,000 gallons of water were
furnished by the Pensacola water de-
partment, but as compared with the
same period of last year it is two
million gallons less. Commenting
upon this feature of the report, it
was said that the last months pump
age was less than August year ago
because a number of bad leaks had
been repaired, quite a few leaks hav-
ing been in the flush tanks.
Other details of the report show
the following: Daily average, 1,843,-
900; maximum daily pumpage, 1,671,-
900; minimum pumpage for day,
100000.

is a story of the New York under
world and it had to be taken in the
slums.
Mae Murray had a narrow escape
during the filming of the scene in
which her small brother Jimmy is in
jured by motor car. Director John
B. O'Brien had worked out the scene
so that there would be no real danger
for either the star or the boy who
played Jimmy, though the illusion of
the accident was perfect. But when
she saw the car bearing down upon
her, Miss Murray became confused
and jumped the wrong way. It was
only by swinging his car into hedge
that the chauffeur avoided striking
Miss Murray.

CITY DECIDED NOT
To EXTEND LEASE

At a meeting of the city commits
sioners, which took place Monday af-
ternoon with Acting Mayor and Po-
lice Commissioner Pou presiding, the
communication from the Gulf Ma
chine Works, relative to the leasing
of the Cypress wharf property, was
taken up and the clerk was directed
to notify the company that their prop
osition relative to permanent and sub
stantial improvements which the COM
pany had offered, could not be ac-
copied.
In letter to the commissioners a
couple of weeks ago, the company
suggested that if the city were to en-
ter into a ten-year lease of the wharf
property mentioned, that they would,
in consideration of the longtime con-
troll of the same, make repairs of
permanent and substantial nature,
agreeing to erect a wharf which
would withstand storms and hard
weather. They asked, however, in
consideration of this proposition that
the city grant ten-year lease for a
certain rental.
The commissioners were advised by
the city attorney that such long
time lease would be inadvisable. The
company upon receiving this decision,
will start repairs on the wharf, but
on. not such substantial plan as had
been intended.
