 The new street will permit motorists and others to avoid Nineteenth street, relieving congestion and traffic hazards to a large degree The situation on Nineteenth street has been growing more dangerous every day and there is gen oral satisfaction over the opening of this new artery.
 The completion of this work will give tle members of the Ensley Realty board, who fostered it, an opportunity to turn their attention to a similar piece of con struction on Seventeenth street. 1t IS stated the propery owners on SeVen- teenth street have signed for the paving and. as the city commission has not re- fused any similar petition for some time, it is thought this latest one will be ap- proved

fic railroad, effective March l, 1924
it is announced from the general

With this appointment Mr..

FLOUR TARIFF
S.T00 LOW,
SAY MILLERS
Canada Lays Down Flour in
New York Under U. 5.
Prices, They Say ,

Washington, Feb. 26-Flour mill
ing interests argued before the
tariff commission for maintenance
of the present tariff relationship
between wheat, flour and wheat
products. They were unable, how
ever, to produce production costs
of wheat feeds desired by the COM
mission and adjournment was
taken until tomorrow when the
commission expects to conclude the
hearings on the costs of wheat,
flour and feed production in con-
nection with the application of a
tariff on wheat requested by the
wheat council of the United States.
Tariff too Low
The millers testified Canadian
millers were able to put down a
barrel of flour in New York, after
paying a duty of $1.53, for seven
cents less than it costs American
millers to place flour on the New
York market. They pointed out
that if the wheat duty were m
creased so per cent and a cores
pOnOlNS increase were not placed
on flour, Canadian millers would
be able to undersell American mill
ers in the New York market to the
extent of II cents a barrel.
Canadian flour was selling in
London a week ago for the equival-
ent of $3.50 per barrel, one miller
testified, stating that an equal
grade of that flour could not be
produced in Minneapolis for that
amount. The Canadian \millers, it
was stated, have crowded Ameri-
can flour off the British and con-
tinental markets and were making
in the American export
flour trade in the West Indies thru
their ability to sell at lower prices,
and with the aid of preferential
tariffs granted by British colonies.
Only the American trade and such
markets as they could develop in
South and Central America, to-
gether with the orient were left to
the American millers. =.
