the meeting adjourned at 5 pm until called on by the chair man price too high in the matter of price automo biles are still a luxury in canada and a good car is loo much of a lux ury for the average man it is dif ferent however in tne ignited states where an ordinary mechanic or clerk can sport a car which onlj the class in canada who pay a high in come tax can afford i had reason to price a sedan in ogdensburg last summer and found the price was 1425 while the same car sold in prescott for upwards of 2500 in this matter there is something to remember cars are no longer a luxury they have become a necess ity far more than a horse and buggy and the time has come when those must be sold at the lowest pos sible price there is another thing to remember and that is practically all of the automobile manufacturers in canada are subsidary american companies and while they may be entitled to a certain amount of pro tection still there is no very good reason why their canadian business should pay them any better than their american and it must pay a mighty sight more in this connec tion it might be possible to reduce or entirely remove the sales tax which would be a further reduction in price at all events the price of a good ar is too high in canada pembroke standard 1926 tour to alaska arrangements for an allexpense personally conducted tour to alaska have been
