Tho price of both material and labor, however, had by that time risen to such a point that the bids received for the work so far exceeded the original estimates that the city, faced with unprecedented expenditures in other directions be cause of the world conflict, was un able to spare the money.

In conse quence, the $900,000 appropriation was rescinded.

They are a structural part of the frame and add to its rigidity This remarkably rigid, non weaving foundation of the Mar mon preserves the fit of the doors and eliminates squeaks and rattles; and the running boards cannot warp or sag. Not' only does this foundation give the passengers of a Marmon a complete sense of security under all conditions of travel, but it is one of the reasons so many Marmons have run more than 100.000 miles with so little repair and adjustment.
