PRICE or AUTOS
MAY Be ADVANCED

Detroit, Mich, April 15.- An
nouncement Of price increases for
automobiles, the first OF which
caused a ripple to pass acros the
foreheads OF intending motor pur-
chasers some weeks ago. now come
from one quarter or another nearly
every week, and that a general In
crease will be the rule thruout the
entire industry soon is taken for
granted. Three additional man
ufacturers have marked price ad-
vances within the next two weeks
and it is known that others are soon
to follow.
In each instance 1t has been ex-
planned that raw material prices
have so advanced that 1t becomes
impossible to produce the car In
volved at the former retail price.
Raw materials have advanced to
an extent beyond the understand
Ing Of the average man. Prices
have scared to unheard of heights
in the automobile industry. They
have climbed so much that the In
tending purchaser may well feel
some surprise that the retail prices
have not been almost doubled as a
result, not alone of the materials
but because of that plus other con-
tingencies the makers have been
compelled to cope with at the same
time.
There comes now the word that
England has placed an embargo on
shipments of ferro manganese. This

COMPILE DATA
ON MORTGAGES
IN THIS COUNTY

William Mathews. county assessor,
and James Howard, Wayne township
assessor today completed list Of all
mortgage notes in Wayne county. 1t
was found that large percent of the
decrease in assessments in this county
this year was due to the ruling of the
state board Of assessors ordering that
only seventy-five per cent Of mortgage
notes be assessed.
II was found when the average was
taken today that mortgage notes in
this county amount to $o72,640. TAX
ing twenty-five per cent of this gives
S143,160 loss from assessments. Some
Of these notes have been partly paid
and TO make a conservative estimate
for the loss, sl25,000 was agreed upon
as the amount which will be present
ed to the state board Friday as the
loss due to this cause. Mr.. Bowman
and Mr.. Mathews will go to Indianap-
ellis Friday to appear before the state
board to explain the correctness Of
the assessments made in this county.
Wayne township is responsible for
many of the mortgage notes, the total
value OF those in this township being
$266.965. The total value Of mortgage
notes outside of Wayne township in
Wayne county amounts to S305,675.

has great confidence in Mr. Tice's
ability to judge conditions.
Another letter received by the miss

forced by government orders to march
in anti-American demonstration, and
how the missionaries were assured
by their Mexican friends that they
were not in sympathy with their gov
ernment's hostile attitude.

VERDICT OF CORONER
ON CHAPMAN DEATH

Purely accidental and unavoidable
was the verdict which coroner, DR.
Roy Morrow, made public today for
the death of Mrs. Walter R. Chap
man which resulted from an automo
bile accident on the Middleboro pike
Saturday night.
The coroner found in his investiga
tion that Mr.. Chapman was blinded
by lights from another automobile
and ran into the side ditch. 1t was
impossible for him to see where he
was going and he ran into the end Of
the bridge before he could bring the
automobile to a stop.
Men who were driving behind Mr.
Chapman Saturday night tell of hav
ing met atnzlfh IN aslsmall machine
who was driving from the south. In
every instance this driver would put
his DINNERS on when approaching al
a distance and then would remove
them suddenly when about sixty feet
away. This bore out the statements
of Mr.. Chapman in every detail.

BY INCREASING WATER RATE FOR PENNSY
BAvIS SUGGESTS WAY TO COVER DEFICITSIN
REVENUES OF THE WATER WORKS COMPANY

Alfred Bavis, president of the board
of works, believes if the rates charged
the Pennsylvania company for water
were raised from 6 to 61k cents by
the Richmond City Water Works COM
pany, the plan he proposed at Monday
nights conference could be carried
out easily.
The state public service commiss-
ion under it's ruling is trying to raise
$7.140 revenue for the company It
has placed an exoritant charge against
the fire sprinkler systems installed by
manufacturers.
Mr.. Bavis suggests reduction Of
these charges to bring in the follow
ing revenue: Thirty-one 6-incn open
ings at $50, netting $3.50; seven 4.
inch openings at $35 netting $245,
twelve 3-inch openings netting $36;
giving grand total of $2,155 Adding
the $4,000 interest on the investment
required if the water works company
had to buy meters. and the $1,000 in
crease from the Pennsylvania railroad
if its rates were increased one-half
cent, gives grand total of $685..
