TO FIGHT BUSINESS
IN CLEVELAND PARK

Members Of the Cleveland Park School
and Community Association prepared to
fight any attempt to erect business
houses in Cleveland Park.
Notice was served by the association
today upon all real estate dealers Of its
intention to oppose through the courts
and otherwise any encroachment.
The issue was drawn at the John
Eaton School last night. when. on mo-
tion of Frank J. Hogan. the association
threw down the gauntlet. In response
to rumor that q tract on Connecticut
avenue, between Macomb and Newark
streets. the only unsold lots in posses
sion Of the original grantors of the
park, was to be sold for business
purposes.
A resolution was passed condemninz
the transaction and calling attention to
the clause In all former deeds restrict
ing the use OF the land to residence
purposes.
A committee Of five headed by Mr..
Hogan Is to be appointed to go to the
courts or take any other steps that may
be deemed necessary.
Mr.. Hogan. Mitchell Carroll. w. F..
woolard and Arthur II. Dowell spoke
In favor of the resolution.
The association also passed resoiu-
ton, to be forwarded to both District
committees OF Congress, asking for an
annual appropriation to meet the pen
sion requirements Of the District police
and fire departments. Attention was
called to the fact that these men get a
pension in theory. but not In fact.
1t was also decided to ask the com
an annex to the John Eaton School.

Forestry Service. spoke on Govern,

BETTER EQUIPMENT
GIVEN WITH CARS
Demand Grows for Standard
"AiI Weather Tread for
Rear Tire Wheels.

our great increase Of output In all
weather tread tires Is. among other
Things, sign of how car manufac
turers are giving better and better
equipment with their products" says
j.. c. Rockhlll. manager of the auto
mobile tire department Of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company.
a rev years ago cars were sold with
out wtnd-shelds, and without other
things that are provided as 4 matter OF
course with cars OF today. And the tires
that came with new cars were usually
plain treads. unless some special ar
ranRement for non-skids had been made
by purchasers.
when we started to push our all
weather tread tires for rear wheels,
because of their obvious advantages. we
considered we were doing well II sales
Of all-weather treads' were Is per cent
as large as sales of plain tread tires
A big change has come In the last year
or two. We estimate that for 1915 Good
year tires will equip approximately
200, 900 new cars. OF these nearly half
will have 'all-weather treads' on rear
wheel tires. The demand for this popu-
lar and safe type Of tire Is growing by
leaps and bounds-and automobile
manufacturers may be complimented
for recognizing II and supplying all
weathers' to the car user-though all
weathers' cost more to make than plain
tread tires
