LIVING COST TO
GO LOWER, is
PREDICTION

WASHINGTON. Aug. 24---The SUI
per-high cost OF living is not here
to stay, Is purely commercial and
readily traceable to the basic laws
OF supply and demand. This was
the statement today Of Leon M.
Estabrook, chief of the United
States bureau of crop estimates, su-
thority on food supplies.
While the prices OF food should be
properly expected TO advance COM
mensurate with the rising prosper
lty of the country, TO keep pace with
the general rise in prices on all com.
modties, the present abnormal
prices on many food staples will ad-
just themselves with another sea
son, Estabrook said.
Soaring prices of grain, he said,
are directly due 10 the big falling
of production in almost every
class. taken in connection with the
bumper outputs of the past two
years.
The sudden decrease in produc-
ton this year has naturally sent
prices skyward.

new BATH HOUSE
PLANS TO WAIT
Engel Sees No Hope of Borrow,
ing 100000 Dust Wants
For Addition

As City Controller George Engel
can see no way for the city 10 Dor
row $500. 900, there is little prospect
that Park Commissioner Dust can
make an early start on q Belle Isle
bath house addition, as he desires.
Engel explained. Thursday, that
the city could not issue bonds, as its
issuing power for the present year
already Is exhausted There would
be danger in borrowing on the city's
credit, for the board OF estimates
might later fail to provide an appro-
priation, according 10 the controller.
Engel explained that in 1914, the
CITY took a chance, az did the First
and Old Detroit National bank. and
obtained a 100000 loan to- feed the
multitude OF unemployed persons in
the city There was no possibility
Of a Disagreement over tho necessity
of the loan, and the city was safe in
assuming that tho board would pro
vide an appropriation 70 return the
money.
Such a course would be danger
GUS now, because there jB easily
room for difference OF opinion on
the necessity of a bath house addi-
ton. and we might find ourselves
next year without any money to pay
back the 100000" explained the
controller.
Dust wants ar addition construct
ed to handle 10000 more bathers.
Engel thinks tho delay will be no
hardship. however, because little
beyond oombins and preparing a
new beach could be done this yeas
