COUNTY SEATS
MOVE CAUSES
INTEREST HERE
Industrial Association of This
City Has Meeting--M Matter
is Discussed
NO ACTION IS TAKEN
Likely Local Case Win be
Taken Up With the Coun-
ty Association

Interest has already been aroused
in this city over the coming tax
fight, which appears to be looming
from New Brunswick. in the inter-
ests of her industries. Just what
stand the Industrial Association Of
this city will take in the matter is
still a question. for although
meeting of the association was held
last night, 1t is understood that nc
definite action was taken, and what
did take place at the meeting il
well guarded from pubhcation- It
is likely. however. that the matter
will be taken up with the Mfddlesex
County Taxpayers Association.
which organization led the fight last.
year and the first part of this with
Union county.
Although nothing official has been
learned concerning the part this rfsy
will play in the pending fight it is
evident that the industries here wiz
not be caught mapping and win BIZ
ready to meet New Brunswick whea
the matter has been brought up TO a
point where they must protect their
interests.
The news of the fight came as
great surprise to the local industries
II Is DS4ISN6uT dS lIie 1TSL 1Dkl4DE OF
such a move was first made known
at the meeting of the city commits
sion yesterday morning when Rus
sell Z. Watson. attorney for John
son & Johnson. appeared before
that body and requested that the
commission file on behalf of the city
of New Brunswick a complaint with
the county board of taxation against
the alleged Unequal ASSESSMENTS in
every municipality in the county
with the exception of New Bruns-
wick.
Mr.. Watson requested that the
ether industries of the county be
placed on the same par as far as lax
alton goes as those in New Bruins
wick assessments on industries had
been decided upwards about two
years ago. after an appraisal by ex-
perts. He held that the present as
sessments in New Brunswick. are as
near to being the true assessments
as can be levied.
There is a possibility that the fight
may become an industrial one, that
is between the industries OF this city
and New Brunswick, Mr.. Watson de-
clared that if New Brunswick as a
city fails to push the fight for q re-
appraisal of assessments, It will re-
suit in the Industrial Association OF
that city taking up the matter. and
filing a complaint against every
plant in Middlesex county, with the
exception of those in New Bruns
wick.
This, it is believed, would mean
that the Perth Amboy Industrial As
sociation would jump into the fight.
in protection of the industries here
and that other plants of the county
would also organize against the New
Brunswick Association, with the re-
suit that one of the most Interesting
taxation fights in the history of Mid
dlesex county would be staged.

ciated Press ).-The British foreign
office, it was stated in an authorita-
tive quarter today, has telegraphed
to the French and Italian govern
ments a memorandum in which
Great Britain declared that the main
Turkish demands, which are to come
before the Near East peace confer
ence, at Lorsanne are not regarded
favorably by the British government.
Great Britain stands by the agree
ment previously made with the al
lies according to the memorandum.
She regards unfavorably the three
main Turkish demands, namely: "A
pIebiscite in Western Thrace, recti-
fication of the Smyrna frontier in
favor of Turkey, and abolition of the
capitulation.
The Kemalists state that they ac-
cept the presence of Allied troops
within the limits laid down by the
Medania convention and declare
their readiness to discuss with the
Allies measures for their security.
They reiterated. however, their
demands that all interference in
the form of control by the allied
troops of the Turkish internal ad-
ministration shall cease.

CLINIC WORK
IS EXTENDED

Use of Board of Health
Clinic Here

A meeting of the Board of Health
Commissioners was held last night
at the meeting rooms in the city
hall. Those present were: Commis-
sioners Buckley, Dilts, Goldberger,
Lakomski, Silk and Thompson.
The most important discussion of
the evenings session was the ques-
ton of Commissioner Lakomski te-
garding the admitting of the pupils
of St. Stephens school to the clinic.
Mr.. Lakomski asked if arrange
ments could be made to have a
number of the st. Stephens pupils
every day in the manner that the
public and parochial schools are ar
ranged.
After a few minutes discussion
and explanation by DR.. Thompson,
as to why they would not handle
the children in the past, it was de-
cided that the number o. children
from the public schools and other
parochial schools be cut down
thereby allowing the board to have
number of the St. Stephens pu-
pills at the clinic daily. 1t was de-
cided to take immediate action On
this question.
After reading the communication
it was decided also to grant Morris
Miller, of New Brunswick, a license
whereby he be permitted to sell
sour and sweet cream to grocers in
this city.
The question of the repairing of
the Isolation Hospital was then
brought up. This being question
brought up at many previous
Y11a ir hrh1IChE hO1lr H0n-
siderable discussion, after which it
was decided that a communication
be sent to the Board OF Alderman
requesting them to make the neces-
sary repairs on the hospital.
1t was also decided that while
this communication was to be sent,
that requests be added to the let
ter regarding the repairing of the
sewerage at the Isolation Hospital
and a. Catalpa avenue, the latter
having caused considerable discus
sion at the last meeting. The 1so-
lation Hospital sewerage was re-
ported ty Doctor Thompson to be IN
bad shape.
The bills were received and Or
dered paid, after snort pause over
q laundry bill, which was sent IN
by cna of the board requesting that
the Health Board pay for the laur-
dering of coats and aprons. Tais
was ordered paid. but not until 1t
was decided that this could not hap
pen again. as it was stated by Mr.
Dilts. that the rest of the board had
to nav for their own laundry, and If
this was done for one it must be
done for all.
The secretary's report showed
that during the month of October
that six deaths were caused by
pneumonia, diphtheria and tubercu-
losis. five of these being children
ever one year old. The deaths for
the month of October show a total

NEED RECONSTRUCTION OF
RAILROADS, HOOVER SAYS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Need
of a reconstruction of the railroad
rate structure of the county-in some
cases with, upward readjustments-
will be brought to the attention OF
congress by Secretary Hoover, 1t is
understood, in his forthcoming an
nual report. Some relief both to the
railways and to the farmers. in the
secretary's view. may be obtained
through such reorganization.
Mr.. HooRer's report, according to
drafts already completed. is planned
to present a comprehensive discus
sion of the national transportation
problem. Losses through shcrt
transportation, Mr.. Hoover finds, are
a tax on the community, sitting pro-
duction, introducing speculation and
disturbing price levels.
Regulation in some form is neces-
sary, he contends, but constructive
development of this regulation-to
preserve the initiative of railway ex-
ecutives and at the same time to Sc
cure public protection and assure
adequate service-is vital and not
necessarily incompatible.
