Brewer Annexation Bill To Draw Fire From Civic Dr.

ENSLEY BUREAU ! THE AGE-HERAID ! LFsnaI . HI.~ U.I ns

committee from Ensley will visit Montgomery Tuesday and Wednesday to appear before the committee of the senate at the hearing of the Brewer bill to take into Birmingham the Ensley Steel works. This announce ment was made Saturday morning The committee will be composed of M. H, Mcdowell, chairman, George R. Byrum and Robert E. Chadwick, with possibly others to be announced Mon day.
 The committee will represent the Ensley Merchants and Associated Business men and the Kiwanis club. both having gone on record as being opposed to the bill and having in structed the committee to leave noth- ing undone to defeat the measure. It was stated in Ensley Saturday that the bill would come up for a hear ing at o'clock Wednesday afternoon. A part of the committee will be in Montgomery Tuesday, and indications are that a large delegation from Ensley will be present.
 Indications are that the Greater Birmingham bill drawn by the late Jere King, during the administration of Gov. B. B. Conner, will become part of the controversy at Mont gomery regarding the steel works. There will be two committeeman from Ensiey who participated in that fight to keep Ensley out of the city of Birmingham and who know quite as much as any other two men re- garding the inside of f~the measure. They are M. H. Mcdowell and George R. Byrum. Both of these men were in Montgomery during the passage of the Greater Birmingham bill and fought to the last ditch to keep Ensley out of the greater city. How ever after winning the fight, it is stated there was a change in the line up and the inclusion of Ensley was brought about.
 In Ensley nothing has gained such wide interest in recent months as the Brewer bill. There is a unanimity of diSapproval here than has never been experienced here before and there will be an unceasing fight to defeat the measure. It was reported saturday that the combined opposi- tion of all the civic clubs in Ensley, not to mention opposition from pat riotic citizens who are not members of any of the organizations, will be sufficient to impress the lawmakers with earnestness of Ensley and will cause the defeat of the measure. Aside from this. considerable influ- ence will be brought to bear in Mont gomery from Birmingham citizens, who sympathize with the efforts of EnSleV

PAID TRIBUTE
Price Cuts Made Pos
sible by Chrysler, Is
Statement.

1.-THE manufacturing and sales In
cenuity of Walter p. Chrysler. chair
man of the board of directors of the
Maxwell Motor corporation, is cred
tied by officials of the corporation
for making possible the material re.
ductlon in the prices of all models OF
Maxwell and Chalmers cars. re-
Gently announced.
Reductions on tho Maxwell range
pu to $50 on the touring and road
Hter and on the Chalmers to SlOO
on he seven passenger custom type
sedan. The average reduction on
Maxwell cars were S64 on each Of
the nine models and $50 on tho five
Chalmers cars. The smallest Max.
well reduction was $40 and $50 was
the lowest reduction on a Chalmers
model. The new prices make both
the good Maxwell and improved
Chalmers cars the lowest at which
they rave ever sold.
The reductions vera mnde at n
time when increases in automobile
pr.ccs were forecast BY many OBJ
seryerE
For that reason, especially. they
stand out as n remarka'its tribute to
Tho ability OF Mr.. Chrysler. his en-
gincers and the Maxwell Cralmers
sales organization" Arthur E. Bark.
or. vico president OF the company
said
"Tnat tho public was quick 10 np.

PRICE GUT IN
TIRES UNLIKELY
Rubber Supply Reduced
In the Past Season,
Goodyear Says.

Are tire prices going to be lower7
Are there further reductions ahead.
80 that consumers should put off
buying7
This question is now being asked
so frequently by al owners that A.
L. osterloh, vice president and gen.
eral manager Of the Goodyear Tire
& Rubber company Of California en-
deavors to acquaint tho public with
tho facts about tire prices.
1.-THE price OF automobile tires"
says Mr.. osterloh. 'Is governed pri-
marily by the market prices of raw
rubber and cotton fabric. The re-
tail price OF tires is more sensitive
TO raw material market prices that
is the case with most other COM
modities.
"In January of this year the sup
plies of low priced materials became
exhausted and higher priced mater
ials had to be used. So prices then
went up.
RAW material markets continued
to advance and by May another In
Q in tire prices became eff
fective. The tire buying season.
however. was u backward one and
shortly after the May advance. the
market on raw rubber and cotton
started to decline slightly due to
diminished demand.
Yet, in spite Of the TACT that
manufacturers had been compelled
TO buy high priced materials land
are sum using them prices were
again reduced in June to bring them
into line with the current market
price of raw materials.
mo ono can tell what tire prices
will do in the future for no one can
tell what the market prices of raw
materials win be.
with the active buying season
well advanced at this time. with the
worlds rubber supply greatly ro-
duced. and with tho present high
rate Of consumption. II would seem
unreasonable to expect any further
decline in raw materials"
