PRICES FOR AUDITORIUM
SITES ARE FAR TOO HIGH
MAYOR CHAMBLIsS TALKS
TO LOCAL CREDIT MEN.
T. R. Preston Explains Pres
ent High Cost Of Commodi-
ties in America.

Mayor A.. w. Chambliss Tuesday
night in an address before the Chat
tanooga Association OF Credit Men at
the Hamilton club severely scored
those who are asking prices for prop
erty considered foran auditorium site
considerably In excess OF the valua-
ton. All OF the auditorium sites
considered are offered to the city, he
said, for prices tremendously In adj
vance of the assessed valuation. The
Caldwell property on McCallie ave-
nue. is assessed at $31, 900. but offered
to the city for $4,000. he stated. The
Griffiss property on Georgia avenue
is assessed at $1,000, but offered to
the city for 100000. Other proposed
sites, he said, are equally as high.
Assessments in Chattanooga are
hardly ever over 40 per cent. of the
cash value, OF course. but bearing
this in mind the prices asked the city
are still considered far too high.
Preston Speaker.
1--WE are skating on thin ice. All ar
ticles but iron and steel have gone up
to abnormal prices and believe iron
has risen in price SO ton lately.
These are abnormal prices" declared
T. r. Preston, who was also speaker
at the meeting of the credit men.
1.-THE desire of the European coun-
tries to buy our surplus makes the
prices what they are. And at the
same time these European countries
are unable to pay for these goods.
There are three ways in which pay
ment can be made. First, by ex-
change of products, which, of course,
Is almost impractioable since Europe
is not manufacturing In quantities. to
exchange. The second is for them
to pay in money. which is equally as
difficult, since the United States al
ready possesses 80 per cent. of the
worlds gold supply; the last way is
for us to purchase the securities of
these countries. England is the sec
ond wealthiest country in the world,
and the English pound brings but
$4.26 in the New York market"
High Exchange.
Mr.. Preston in his talk tried to
bring out the fact that only must
England as well as other countries
pay the present high prices for Amer
lean made goods, but they must pay
in addition the difference in the value
OF their money compared to that of
the United States. In the case of
England an additional 10 per cent.
must be paid. 1t is simply a ques-
ton of how long the European coun-
tries can stay in the market at these
prices. Continuing, he said:
In the past four years we have
gone forward equal to the porgress of
nifty years in normal times. The
crux of prosperity depends on these
countries being permitted to purchase
our goods at a reasonable price. We
must purchase the bonds of those
countries as in the past they have
purchased ours"
