the mere putting of the ques-

If the buildings cost the more

The fact that ii is a thousand dollars than

downward, buildings built
last year cost $1,000, 900, 900.
The total retail price Of new
automobiles was more than
$4,000, 100000. Extra parts,
tires and accessories would
add 81, 500,000,000. There
might, perhaps, be question
whether or not tires bought
after the original purchase
OF the car were not properly
to be counted as a charge
against maintenance, just as
the re-roofing of. house
could not properly be used
to swell the cost of new
buildings in a city. But, even
SO, the showing is impressive.
1t suggests that, after taking
into account all the building
done outside the 1877 cities,
the new motor cars cost the
more.
And this condition is likely
to continue. Motor cars wear
out faster than buildings.
Many of the cars that are
sold today go to replace cars
that are destined for the junk
pile. So with the demand for
new cars to supply the needs
of those who have not been
car owners goes increasing
demand for cars to replace
the old. There is in this con-
dition reflection of the fin.
ancial state Of the country. In
these days of the automobile
tourist with the tent strapped
to the running board, it is
still presumably correct to
regard shelter as the primary
need. Buildings come before
motor cars in the order of
after paying for the build
ings, we can equal or exceed
the sum total of that expendi-
ture in paying for motor cars
the state of the public purse
is apparent.
1t is true that most of the
motor cars are paid for in in
stallments, but, through the
medium of mortgages, build
ings have been erected on the
deferred payment plan from
days remote. The ability to
pay justifies the mortgage.
Men in the motor car
industry say experience
proves that the ability to pay
also iustifies the sale of cars
with payment in full post
poned. 1t gets back to the
same thing. The land that
can afford to spend as much
for motor cars as for build
ings, whatever the system of
payment, is evidently a land
of Astounding prosperity with
a diffusion of wealth beyond
anything of the kind known
in history.

CARNEY CALLS
VENTNOR SUCCESS
Philadelphia City Solicitor
Speaks Before Commerce
Body in School
BROADCAST HIS ADDRESS

Calling Ventnor City one of the
most successful residential cities
of the World, Joseph Gaffney, city
solicitor Of Philadelphia, speaking
before a meeting of the Ventnor
Chamber of Commerce in the au-
ditorium of the Atlantic City High
school. pointed out the character
istics that distinguished it from
other cities. His address was
broadcast from Municipal Radio
Station WPG.
THE home, said Gaffney, in his
address, "as We all know, is the
foundation Of every municipality,
and Ventnor is the worlds great
est city of homes They are the
first thing noticed by visitors to
that city, The influence of the
home is even seen in the city's
government"
"ventnor is the most successful
city / have ever seen and my work
puts me in a position to observe
many. In that city there is no
vice or problems which bother
other municipalities and the city's
business is in the hands of capable, \
honest men"
Mr.. Gaffney further stated that
he was in the habit of spending
the entire summer months at his
home in that resort, and as many
weeks in the winter as his business
interests would allow. He also
pointed out that the unimproved
property in that city, if sold at
current market prices, would liqui-
date all of the city bond issues and
leave a surplus. He enumerated
its blessings" as he called them,
as good government, beautiful
homes, pure water, good fishing,
protected bathing beaches and the
finest air that can be had.
Mayor Carlton Adams. who gave
short talk before introducing
Mr.. Gaffney, explained that the
Philadelphia solicitor was only one
of the many who are daily commu-
tiers. City Comptroller George H.
Bratten, whD is also secretary of
the Ventnor hamber of Commerce,
outlined the history of that organ
ization since the days of the old
Board of Trade, from which the
newer organization was formed.
He also announced that the James
Harvey Post, American Legion, had
made application for membership
to the Chamber as a body.
Norman Brokenshire, announcer
for WPG, made the various intro
auctions to his invisible audience.
Conrad Ekholm had charge of the
meeting from the stage of the high
school. Miss Marian Winters, har-
pist, headed the delightful musical
program which followed. Powell
Evans, baritone. also rendered sew
eral numbers.
Chamber of commerce officials.
following the meeting, were well
satisfied at the success of the af-
fair which was one of the largest
ever held by this Ventnor organi-
cation.
