BUILDING DELAYED
BY LABOR UNREST

Plans for the new building to be
built on Second avenue near Seven
teenth street by John A. Bengston
have been set back indefinitely by
agitation in the building trades of
the tri-cities. Although the build
ing was to be started on immedi-
ately and while preliminary plans
have been drawn up, it was thought
best to hold the letting of contracts

smoothly.

AMERICAN AUTOS
USED IN ENGLAND

NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Although
Great Britain has repealed Its re-
strictions on the import Of motor
cars, 1t is reported that the abolition
OF these restrictions may be only
temporary. A new rationing plan al
lowing cars and trucks to be import
ed in proportion to the average num-
ber imported in 1925 may be
adopted. Up to Sept. l, 1919 i'm.
ports have been rationed on the bas-
is of SO per cent of the 1913 imports
in average monthly quantities.
Under present uncertain cond-
tions surrounding the exporting OF
cars to European countries, and the
desire on the part Of all American
makers to obtain a wider distribu
tion of their products in foreign
fields, it is interesting to note that
the final apportionment announced
by the British Government permits
the entry of but three American
made automobiles.
In a special communication to
Automobile Industries" the B5n-
don correspondent says:
The American apportionment of
the 5000 cars which the British
Government will allow to be import
ed, in addition to the former ration
ing scheme, have been apportioned
as follows:
Ford, 1873; Studebaker, 769; and
Overland, 494; giving a toal OF g.
842.
The rest of the 5000 are to come
from the French and Italian makers.

present opinions to government re-

mines at the meeting of the Ameri-

methods of determining mine valua-
tions with view to establishing tax
laws for the mines which will take
into account the wasting assets of
the mining industry.
The meeting is being held at the

ented by DR.. L. C. Grafton of the val
uation Section of the Bureau. In ad-
