Car Prices No
Higher Says 0PA.
Production Up

New 1916 model passenger auto
mobiles will be sold to consumers
at prices which average no higher
than January, 1912, the OPA said
today. For individual makes Of
cars these prices range from about
2h% lower to 1870 higher than
Both manufacturers and dealers
are assured a reasonable profit
even If no more cars roll off the
assembly lines than in 1941. How
ever, the most recent estimate Of
the Civilian Production admins
tration indicates that by June,
1916, the industry will be produc-
ing at the rate of 100000 cars a
month. This is about 1870 above
the 1941 monthly rate and nearly
double that of 1889. This higher
volume should mean a substantial
increase in earnings.
Tire Quotas
The December tire quotas for
the Spokane District as announced
by Harvey Guertin, District Di-
rector of the Office of Price Adj
ministration, disclose a cut in all
but the large truck tires.
Grade I passenger tires allocat-
ed for the month are 1924 COM
pared to 1896 for November. There
will be 1879 small truck tires as
compared to 1889 allocated the
previous month. This cut is re-
quired by heavy current require
ments for tires in this category as
original equipment on trucks that
are being put into service
promptly, the Civilian Production
Office advised the OPA.
The only increase shown is that

which went from 1916 for the
month Of November to 1869 for
December. All car and truck
owners should continue conserva-
ton measures, including the re-
Gaping of tires, to get maximum
mileage because tire inventories
will be very small for many
months.
