Road improvements to Boost
Sale Of Automobile Trucks

From now on, according to Carl
Changstrom, of the Standard Motor
Car company, the truck business i'll
the western states will be on the up
grade, owing to the fact that many
bills for road improvements are now
being considered and will eventual
ly take shape in an enormous
amount of work on rural roads.
The roads of our community are
the most serious set-backs .of the
truck business. The east has en-
ployed trucks in all manner of haul
ing for a considerable length OF time
and the truck has been the big fac
tor in the transportation activities of
many large western cities. The
building of suitable roads will be re-
sponsible for the extension of motor
transportationin this territory.

Hundreds Of Millions
to Be Available Soon
for Road Improvement

Hundreds of millions of dollars
will be made available for road ex-
penditures in the United States
within the next few months, if leg
islation now awaiting consideration
is favorably acted upon by the as
semblies of the various states. At
no past time in the history of the
nation has there been such a trend
toward highway development as is
evidenced by these measures, and
road builders everywhere are con-
fronted with the necessity of formu-
lating broad policies to govern the
expenditures.
Early estimates placed the total
amount, which would be expended
by states and nation in 1919, at
$300,000,000. Since that time the ma
tional senate has acted favorably
upon a bill providing for an increase
of $200000000 in the federal aid act,
Of which $50,000000 is made, imme-
diately available and another $751;
100000 added in the fiscal year be-
ginning July of the present year.
The remainder is set aside for 1920
1921. This measure is now awaiting
final action i'm the house.

LIGHT CARS ARE
BEST over ROAD
TORN BY SHELLS
Takes Less Gasoline and Is
Easier on the Tires;
Depreciation Also Is
Much Less.

What is the relation between light
weight and usefulness in automo-
biles? That is the important con-
sideration among engineers today,
and one which has a direct bearing
on the cost of operation and up
keep for the automobile owner.
In automobile trade papers recent
lyy several prominent British en-
gineers predicted rapid change to-
ward reducing the weight and size
of motor car, and gave as reason
for their opinions the comparative
usefulness of light and heavy cars
on the battlehelds. Light cars, so
they claim, by reason of their great
resiliency, could operate over she'll
torn roads with more comfort to
the passengers and less damage to
the mechanism than was possible
with the heavier and more cumber-
some types. Then too, the economy
of operation was much i'll favor of
the lighter cars and resulted in long
err trips without frequent reflling
of the gasoline tanks.
Takes Less Power.
1t is to be expected that the Frank
lin Automobile company, which has
for 10 years been an exponent of
light weight in motor car construc-
ton, would have some very inter-
esting observations to make OH this
subject, and Ralph Murphy, chief
engineer of that concern, sums up
its attitude in a few paragraphs.
The heavier an object, the more
power required to move it" states
Mr.. Murphy, "and in automobile
operation this of course means gas
oline consumption. On tires, too, ex-
cessive weight quickly shows in
lower tire mileage because of the
many heavy blows that must be
cushioned.
another important feature of
lightweight construction is the de-
creased depreciation. On rough and
rutted roads, taking each bump as
it comes, with the very minimum of
vibration and strain on the mocha
nism."

LANDLORD HAS
AUTO TENANTS
TO CLUB TO dine
Recalls Change on Auto Row
from the Time Bill Paxton
Used Block for Cow
Pasture.

B. J. Seannell, trustee for the
Mary Z. Paxton estate, gave a dim
ner at the Athletic club on Wednes-
day evening to all officers of the
different firms now occupying what
is known as the Scannell block on
automobile row. Mr.. Scannell spoke
in very interesting terms as to the
progress of the automobile industry
since his building first became &C.
cupied by the automobile people.
In the block mentioned are located
the Cadillac, Firestone, Overland,
REQ and Studebaker. The new build
ing which is just completed is occu-
pied by the Van Brunt company
and the Jones-Opper company aud
is one of the most modern in the
city and is beautiful structure. 1t
was designed by George L. Fisher
and closes up the gap in this block,
which is the only one in the city Of
Omaha devoted entirely to the auto
mobile business, where each build
ing is of three stories or more.
Mr.. Paxton bought this entire
block in 1881 for $4,000 and a most
conservative valuation for this
ground alone is given at $35,00O.
Henry w. Yates of the Nebraska Ma
tional bank, so history goes, made a
profit of $4,000 in As days on this
piece of land, buying it for $4,000
and selling it for $4,000 As days
later. At that time there were no
business houses Of any kind west OF
Fifteenth street.
Many interesting remarks were
made by those present and ]. H.
Hansen of the Cadillac was calico
upon by Mr.. Scannell to act as
POSTMASTER. 1t was interesting to
listen to Mr.. Opper of the REQ,
who mentioned that there were now
III persons employed in this one
block. and that a business of more
than $12,750000 was transacted per
year; the block containing approx
imately FIVE acres of floor space.
A. III. Jones of Hastings, predict
ed the greatest year in the automo-
bile business, and he has been con-
nected with the most progressive
firms in automobile history for the
last IA years. He is now heavily in
terested in several leading firms IN
this territory. All the buildings in
this block have excellent service
entrance facilities. The Cadillac on
the west and the Studebaker on the
east, have street entrances, and the
other buildings have very fine rear
entrances from a large court.
Those present at the banquet
were Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Van Brunt,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Van Brunt of
the Overland; Messrs. Alexander
and Shubert of the Firestone, Mr..
and Mrs. Opper and Miss Opper of
the REQ: Mr.. and Hrs. A. H. Jones
of the REQ and Cadillac, Mr.. and
Mrs. George L. Fisher, designer Of
the new building; Mr.. and Mrs. B.
j. Scannell and Miss Adair, Lyle
Caldwell of Providence, R. l., Mr..
and Mrs. Snyder of the REQ, and
Miss Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. ].
H. Hansen of the Cadillac.
The block on which these build
ings are located was few years ago
known as Paxton's pasture, as this
valuable piece of property was used
as pasture for one Paxton COW.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE New York
Evening Sun Financial Review today
said:
Perhaps the most interesting devel-
opment in today's stock market was
the aggressive buying of railroad
stocks which developed shortly before
midday and continued until well into
the afternoon carrying this group for
ward from 2 to s points.
BY making the renewal rate on call
loans IA per cent and holding the price
of money at this figure during the
greater part of the session the banks
served notice that they intend to hold
speculation in check as much as pos
sible.
The days market was very tame
performance compared with what has
been happening. There was a good
deal Of irregularity to the prices and
every bulge was followed by selling
sufficient reaction to cover the adj
vance. Call loan rate dropped to 3
per cent but the market did not make
any further response. The majority
of stocks, however, held well near the
top figures, particularly the rails, and
the final tone was firm.
