Unnuevo tejjido maIaViRoso
Sc llama xiolina y es de
fibra de MADEIRA,
Blanqueada la sustancia es tan
blanca como la nieye.

Tien,s gran interes el invento del
fabricante salon Emilio Claws.
Sc trata de un nuevo material Sc
meiante al papel y que ha de tener
un gran exlto en- las fabrlcas de tejl-
dos.
Sc llama este nueyo producto Nio-
lima y es de fibra de MADEIRA, hilada
en- un hilo de papel conteniendo un
90 por clento de celulosa, como la
que Sc usa en- el papel de perlodicos
y un ) por ciento de algodon.
Sc emplea exclusivamente para te-
jer y posee ciertas cualidades que lie
hacen muy it'll. No Sc parte, nj SC
encoge, nj Sc estira. La humodad no
produce efecto ninguno en- 81, V re-
sulta excclente sustituto del algo-
don, el hilo, el yute Y hasta de la Sc
da.
Combina las excelentes cualidades
de las dos primcras classes de tejido
y SUI prccio es como un tcrcio del pre-
clio del algodon v como una declma
parte del precio del hilo.
Blanqueada esta sustancla es tan
blanca como Ia nieve, pero como
que es, admite colores dclicados en-
mayor escala que las telas
Con esta tela papel Sc pueden OBJ
tener distlntos gruesos, scglln Sc
quiera utilizar, como limpiabarros :
y alfombras dc caprichosos dibujos
Una gran ventaia consiste en- que Sc
puedc limpiar sacudiendolo y lavar
Sc sin ell menor cuidado. 81 Sc anad e
a este que la xiolina es sustancia que
no gllsta a la polilla, Sc comprendera
que es untejido ideal para las buenas
amas de casa.
Mezclado con el yute, constituye
una excelente tela de saco muv lige :
ra, y, sin embargo, tan resistentc co
mo el yute solo, y cuesta Ia mitad
Tambien Sc emplea la xiolina para
ciertas prendas de vestir, siendo su :
mamente porosa, puede prestar
grandes servicios en- la confeccio n
de ropa interior, que resulta de mu
cho abrlgo, y, sin embargo, muy
ligcra.
Tambien Sc le puede dar la apa-
riencia de drill de primera calidad, Y
este permite hacer con la sustancia
en- question traies imitando i los
lie drill, pero que no llegan a costar
mas de 25pesos.
No hacc mucho Sc han hecho sietc
millones dc tohallas de Xiolina, que
Sc han vendido Il cuatro pesos doce
ma.
La luz nj la lluvia altcran este tc-
jido y este supone una cantidad mas
puesto que con 81 pueden hacerse
fundas para muebles de jardin y toll
dos para ventanas y portlcos.

RECEIPTS
EXPENDITURES
Balance on hand,

The following letter from w. E.
Young, secretary of the Cape May
County Board of Taxation, was refer.
red to the assessor:
"At the annual meeting of the Cape
May County Board of Taxation held
on the above date. l was directed to
notify you that the County Tax for
the entire county is about 80 per cent.
greater this year than in 1908, viz;
S27, $50 greater, and the State School
Tax is about % per cent. greater than
in 1908, viz: $15, 323.5 5 greater.
This will necessitate attention to the
matter of valuations Of property in
such taxing districts as have not fully
complied with the law by placing true
valuations defined by the statute to be
what "Such parcel would sell for at a
fair and bonafide sale by private con-
tract on the twentieth day of May"
The suggestion is made that lnvesti-
cation is likely to disclose much per-
sonal property not assessed at all or
not fully assessed and that values up
% Buildings and Improvement should
be increased in many instances. The
interests of the county and each NUM-
cipality require that true value shall
be assessed, since the apportionment
of State moneys to the various coun-
ties is upon the basis of ratables. The
County Board has determined to not
grant 10 any taxing district, a higher
rate, in accordance with chapter lo2,
laws Of 1908, than the rate regularly
fixed by law, until fully convinced
that the Assessor in the district apply
ing for such increased rate has made
every effort possible to secure a valu-
alton of property sufficient to raise the
money required by the district, county
and state by means of the regular
rate.n
A letter was read from McCray
Grand Army Post at Cape May asking
for a donation toward defraying the
expenses of Decoration day but no ac-
ton was taken. The applications OF
S. D. Cooper and Richard Fox for the
position of special officer were read
and filed. The quarterly report of
Auditor S. H. Townsend OF the collec-
tors accounts was read and accepted.
A vote of thanks was given Stanley M.
Kalbach for repairing the fire alarm
system. Frank P. Willetts was ap-
pointed special police officer to go on
duty Decoration day for the season.
The contract for the laying of cement
sidewalks and curbs on Goth street and
the westerly end of Oak avenue was
awarded to Jas. McLinden, who was
the lowest bidder.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-16

The Bridgeport Board of Trade last night instructed President Fred Enos to send a telegram to Washington pro- testing against the proposed corpora ton tax, imposing upon him a far from pleasant duty, for MT. Enos is collector of internal revenue for this district, receives his appointment direct from the President. and the corpora fion tax is supposed to be the Presi- dents own measure. Nevertheless, after a suitable telegram had been pre- pared by Judge A. B. Beers, local coun- cil for the United Illuminating Com pany, George M. Flames, general man. ager of the local plant of the Singer Mfg. Company, President Enos cour- ageouslyr signed and sent it.
 This action was not taken until had read personal letter from Sen ator Frank B. Brandegee to the effect that fthe corporation tax bill was only passed to defeat an income tax bill. Ire letter said that enough Senators Were taken away from the income tax Gill by the corporation tax measure to insure the defeat of the former. Ac- ton was not taken until MT. Curtis had also read a personal letter from Congressman Ebenezer J. Hill, say ing:
 I stood against this corporation
 tax in the Ways and> Means com
 mittee, but was defeated there. Do
 you advise me to vote against the
 tariff bill if the corporation tax is
 incorporated in it?
 Nevertheless Congressman Hill is left to his own devices as to how far he will take his opposition to the tax. The Board of Trade did not go to the extent of advising him to ''vote against the tariff ibill'', which contains some rousing schedules with application to Bridgeport manufactures It merely ;,,ef fr1: 1i, +o Iii tr,f1 +o prevent the passage of the bill, as fol- lows:
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-07-16
SHALL | VOTE AGAINST TARIFF BILL TO DEFEAT
 CORPORATION TAX BILL?''
This Question Propounded by Congressman iiil Through Lewis B. Curtis, to Board of Trade Board Replies, 'Use Your Influence Against
 Tax Bill

At a special meeting of the Board
 of Trade held this day, it was
 unanimously voted that the provis-
 ion of Sec. 6 of the act relating to
 corporations, joint stock associa-
 tions, etc., are objectionable, and
 request that you use your influ-
 ence to prevent the passage of said
 section.
 The order creating the above state ment was unanimously adopted, but nevertheless there was much sentiment among those present that the tax ought not to be opposed.
 sented by E. H. H. Smith, of the E: H. H. Smith Silver Co.,. who asserted that two per cent of net earnings paid to the government is not an excessive tax and who further declared that the people in Bridgeport ought to be will ing to help the people in Washington get money to run the government.
 Judge A. B. Beers was called upon to explain the meaning of the proposed law. This he did very succinctly. The bill imposes a tax of two per cent upon the net earnings of every corpo- ration. If the government does not accept the statement of the corpora tion as to what it's earnings are it may and find out. The tax must be paid before dividends are paid. Judge Beers suggested that the tax on beers and liquors might be increased to raise the necessary revenue and the tax on corporate income omitted.
 Dr. D. F'rankel of New York, repre- senting the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company; William Holman, vice president of the National Association of Life Insurance Underwriters. and J. B. Jones, local representative of the Metropolitan Life, opposed the tax. The arguments of all of these speakers rested upon the idea that owners of stock the profits upon which are de- rived from the sale of insurance, will also have to pay two per cent of their profits to the government, if the bill becomes a law.

5. A. B. APPROVES MODEL OF
 j STATUE FOR COMPO BEACH

q The State board of managers of the Connecticut Society of the Sons of the American Revolution convened at New Haven yesterday afternoon and con- sidered the model which has been sub- nitted to them by Sculptor Webster of New York city, which is to mark the spot of the invasion of the British at Cornpo Beach, Westport, in 1777, prior to the burning of Danbury, and espec- ially to commemorate the battle which was held on the beach.
 There were about two hundred mem bers of the society present.
 The sculptor submitted design for a. life size bronze figure of a Continen- tai soldier in firing posture, to be mounted on a Connecticut boulder, on the Compo heights overlooking the Sound. The idea was very acceptable to the State board of managers. and was accepted, subject to the decision of the State board of sculpture. The State board is composed in part of Charles Noel Flegg and Arthur L. Shipman of Hartford, and Professor
