PUBLIC OPINION

Editor Evening News:
| was pleased to notice in the
News the other day hat the West
ern improvement Association is well
aware of the fact that we still have
thousands of desirable building lets
in Perth Amboy, and tina there is no
need of going elsewhere on thai ac-
count. They are certainly right in
urging that a trunk eve be built
to relieve the section north of Brace
avenue and the northern section OF
the city. The city officials should
lose no time in making provision for
such a trunk sewer.
The associations object vas EVIL
IDENTITY to draw attention to the ne"d
of a trunk sewer. With your per
mission / should like to call stten-
ton also to the vas amount of iadd
lying idle in the northwestern sec
ton of the city, extending from Am.
boy avenue to the Raritan river.
There are about COO acres Of land
lying idle here. If this land was
made available for building pur-
poses, it would provide sufficient
ground for an additional population
of at least 10000 people. This land
is removed from the factory district
and, being near the main streets
leading to the business section II
the city would find a ready marke;
If proper improvements were pro-
vided.
1t may be argued that this land is
held back from the market for other
If this be so, the land must
be considered to be worth more than
it would be If laid out in building
lots. This brings us to the subject
of taxes. Based on its value In
building lots. the annual taxes to be
received therefrom would amount ~
thousands of dollars. Yet. as it now
lies. the city receives comparatively
little from it. If vacant land like
this were taxed in the same proper
ton as improved land. more of this
would be opened for develop
ment and more buildings would be
erected, and the house shortage
greatly relieved. AS a taxpayer I
would urge proper officials to look
into this matter and take proper ac-
ton. The Withholding of this land
for other purposes is retarding the
growth of the city and driving peo-
pie, who otherwise would locate
here, to the suburbs.

Snip by truck to the entire world by way of Warrior river through Bir- mingport," is the slogan of the next ship-b -by-truck tour which is scheduled for Saturday, April IT, and which prom ises to be the biggest thing of, its kind ever seen in the south. Definite plans for this tour were announced last night by Kelly B. Spencer, manager of the Firestone ship-by-truck bureau, and there is no doubt but what they will be greeted by all motor truck dealers, shippers and everyone interested in the Z welfare and progress of Birmingham, with great enthusiasm.
 The sole object of the gigantic dem onstration planned is to show the peo- pie of Birmingham and surrounding territory the advantages of Birming- port and the uses that it can and should be put to. Birmingport a little city on the Warrior river, just 20 miles distant. is equipped with docks for sea- going boats. Ships can come in from the gulf into Mobile bay, up the War rior river and deposit a huge tonnage of freight on the docks at Birmingport. Motor trucks can bring the freight into Birmingham. The products of this city can be shipped to the entire world by reversing the process.
 TRUCK IS THE ANSWER
 Now that Birmingham has Birming- port and the whole world at it's finger tips the old question arises: What are we going to do with it?" The motor truck will prove great ally to the railroads in hauling freight to and from Birmingport and it is for the pur- pose of demonstrating to the shippers the feasibility of the plan that this truck tour is launched.
 Motor truck dealers in this territory met at the Tutwiler hotel several nights ago and discussed informally the proJ- ect announced by MT. Spencer last

TECHNICAL II IS,
 THIS JOY RIDE H. M. Bailey Goes on Ex- cursion Through Delights of Driving a Maxwell

of I can have your attention for just 3 technical manner terms used by the gem eral public, referring to the different parts of an automobile That's how H. M Bailey of the Motor Sales Corpora ton started on what he called "A Tech nical Joy-ride'
 First, we notice the automobile run ming along a very rough road. We can see the wheels bounding up and down. but the occupants are enjoying every comfort of a pleasant ride as though they were riding on very smooth road. Com pensating underslung spring action is the answer Every Maxwell has it.
 Next. we follow the car to sandy road; the ruts are very deep. We turn the curve with ease and, if we wish to release our hold on the steering wheel the front wheels will stay in their paths The wheels do not turn off the road when they come in contact with ruts or road .obstructions, as the car ahead does. We have absolute control. ease and com fort-no fatigue. That's the irTeeversible steering gear. You'll find it on every Maxwell.
 Now we stop to look over the beau tiful scenery, or have lunch at the farm hopse On returning to the car we stef in. press the button and we are ready tf start With the gears in first speed wt gradually let the clutch in, and, with tho velvet getaway of a passenger train. w' start on our trip-no jerking. no ciutcf grabbing That is a sure sign of tht cone clutch running in oil It's on tht Maxwell.
 Next. we start to climb a hill, Witt ca SC we pass the summit-not jerking, nc changing gears no waste of gasoline o1 tires They're built to do 1t. That's the hot-spot and rams horn manifold. The1 have it on the Maxwell.
 We also note there is no heat coming off the motor to mar the pleasure of oul trip: no stopping to fill up with watel or to let the engine cool off There's z reason It's the thermo-syphon cooling system. They use it on the Maxwell.

 Abnormal charging or discharging of a battery also will cause unnecessary buckling of it's plates if persisted in.
