1t was understood tfiar a naval de-

CALL SESSION
Of TAXPAYERS
Perth Amboy Property Own
ers to Meet Tomorrow
Night to Plan Action
FIGHTING UNION COUNTY
Investigation of Middlesex
County Valuation is Now
Under Way

Taxpayers throughout Middlesex
county are stirred up as never be-
fore over the charges made to the
State Board of Taxation by the off,
cials of Union county that the pro-
perty in this county is under assess
ed. Several meetings have been
held by the manufacturers, mer-
chants and agriculture interests of
the county at which action has been
taken to prove that the assertions of
Union county are unfounded.
In order to interest still more of
the taxpayers of the county in the
fight that is before them If the pres
ent ratables are to stand, Isaac
Alpern, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, has called meeting OF
the property owners of Middlesex
county to be held in the Chamber o.
Commerce rooms here tomorrow
night at o'clock. Notices OF the
meeting have been sent out to local
property owners and it is expected
that a large number of the leading
property holders will be present.
The notice reads in part as fol-
lows: "We think it would be to
your own interest to attend this
meeting and see what can be done
in order that your tax valuation
should not be increased for next
year"
Under a complaint of Union coun-
tn. az, Investigation costing Sies0eesis
now under way in Middlesex and
Morris counties, and it is reported
that when the assessors duplicates
are filed with the county boards on
January 10, the state board VIII
make their comparisons and order
reassessments if found necessary.
From the interest that is now be-
ing manifested in the taxation sit
uation it is plain to be seen that
the people of Middlesex are not
going to sit still and let Union
county put something over on
the county without making fight.
This is assured by the fact that at
the meeting in the Chamber OF
Commerce here on Tuesday night o
committee consisting of residents OF
this city and New Brunswick, was
appointed TO submit briefs to the
county board. which will give facts
to prove that the valuation in this
county are not too low, as claimed
by Union officials.

COTTON FABR|C BASE IF TIRE
 MANUF ACTURE

Cotton fabric is the foundation upon which an automobile tire is built It is used to give stability and strength. There are two we'll known classes of tires-the suuare- woven fabric and the cord tire.
 In the square-woven fabric tire the threads in each ply run in both directions. alternating over and un- der as in a piece of ordinary cloth. In the cord tire. the threads or cords in each ply run parallel with the exception of a few small cross threads. used simply to hold the cords together while they are being fmpregnated with the rubber com pound
 The life of a tire would be greatly increased if internal friction could be eliminated. The internal friction caused by intermittent distortion of the tire in use is the result of the friction of the threads upon each other and the strains and stresses set up in the rubber compound. Naturally the fabric which gives the least room for internal friction will give the longest life to the tire.
 Since square-woven fabric cannot be thoroughly impregnated with rub ber mt the points where the threads cross. flexing at these points win cause a saving action and the generating of internal heat. It has been demonstrated very clearly by experiment, according to the United States Tire company, that, when the temperature resulting from in- ternal heat reaches 2S0 degrees. vul-

progressive genius of the motor ve- hicle industry, however, kept pace with the needs of the moment. and step in step with the motor vehicle industry the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company contributed it's quota of im- provemellts to help the motor vehicle play it's part to the complete satis- faction of the business life of the country.
 Yet, although the contributions of Goodrich have been many and weigthy. indeed, in many respects vital, to the progress of the motor truck, it is a question if the B. F.. Goodrich Rubber company has to it's credit an achievement that can compare with its latest and newest invention. namely. the development of what is likely to be the greatest improvement in truck tires that has put in an appearance in the past five years, the Semi Pneumatic Truck Tire.
 The Semi Pneumatic Truck Tire is exactly what its name amplies. Possessing solid tire characteristics, it has to an exceptional degree the residence and cushioning qualities of a pneumatic truck tire. It is not a cushion tire. It is something more than a cushion tire. It is a Semi- Pneumatic Tire for motor trucks.
 By virtue of its unique design, 1t possesses to so great a degree the ability of a properly inflated cord truck tire that this unique quality deserved more recognition than was suggested by the name cushion, hence the name semi pneumatic.
 The n1ffSi6a dASior, of tba +;r<x every respect as effective as the in- ternal design. A groove is nodded in the tread for it's entire circumference. The groove helps to prevent skid ding. In addition, there are a num- Der of side blocks on the tread, de- signed to give traction in soft going. The side slots between the blocks add to the residence of the tire and by breaking up and reducing the trac- uonal wave materially reduce gaso- line consumption.
 Not the least important feature of this tire is the fact that the tire fits the standard $. A. E. wheel and that the regular solid tire press serves to apply the tire, eliminating all extra flanges and bolts and screws and special wheels, all of which add to the initial cost and increase the un- sprung weight of the truck, which is uneconomical.
 The development of the semi -pneu- matic truck tire is just another in- stance of Goodrich aggressiveness. It was Goodrich who pioneered the cord tire for automobiles in the de- velopment of the Silvertown cord tire That tire has set new standards 1 for mileage and tire company, and has been found as rugged for rough country roads as for city pavements. ! It is significant that the B. F. Good rich Rubber company's cord tire is today standard or optional equipment on 176 of the cars manufactured in America and is the choice equip ment of the fastidious car manu- facturer from abroad seeking mar ket in this country.
 Emerson said: Hitch your wagon
 to a star" Were Emerson alive to- 1 day, we'll venture that he would
 have added, ''and make sure that
 your wagon has a motor and four 1 Goodrich tires"

GOODRICH { NEW
 I RUCk TIRE |S .B|G SENSATION

AKRON, O.. Sept 22 Especial Cor respondence)--It is not so many years since the first motor vehicle made it's appearance on the roads of America. yet, in the short time that has elapsed since then. the develop ment of the motor vehicle has been amazing and tremendous.
 E, The rubber tire has played no small part in the development of the motor truck industry. Indeed, 1t may rot be amiss to say that were it not for the invention of the solid rubber tire 1t is {. question if the motor ve- hicle industry could have reacneo the proportions it has.
 Be that as it may. with the con- tinual growth of the motor truck in- dustry and its adoption into the life of practically every, town, village and hemlct in this country, the demands upon the motor vehicle became more and more numerous and more and more exacting. The inventive and

 canized rubber ceases to function as an adhesive compound, crumbles into minute particles which fail to re- sume their original condition, caus- ing the compound to lose it's func- ton in the tire. This causes separ- ation, weakness, and finally blow out. It may be interesting to know that 265 degrees is not an uncom- mon temperature reached in tire when driven at a high speed over the road; this is particularly true of large truck tires.
 In the case of cord tires. each thread is embedded in the rubber compound and the internal friction is reduced to a minimum. A brief summary of the advantages derived from the use of cord tires would include easier riding, due to greater resiliency; saving of gasoline and oil; saving of machinery, and more miles per dollar.
