and substituting horse-drawn We
hicles, the Borden Company's
midwest division was able to
reduce milk truck tire use by
nearly A per cent during the
first three months operation of

tation's wartime conservation
program.
Covered by hte report are Bor-
den branches in Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan and Missouri, including
Borden's Dairy & Ice Cream COM

To Present
Legislation
ForSewer

Preliminary action was taken
Monday night for contemplated
construction of a sewer from the
North Fork of the Licking river
along Everett avenue to Buena
Vista street, when members of
the finance committee, the serv-
ice committee, Newark hospital
trustees, and a committee from
the city council, met to discuss
the issue. Presiding was Coun-
Gilman Robert Evans, chairman
of the finance committee.
Hospital committee members
testified that floods at the hos
pital were the rule rather than
the exception during rains, and
many times there has been six
inches of water in the basement.
1t was primarily to correct this
difficulty that the sewer prob
lem was discussed. X-ray equip
ment and accessories valued at
more than $4,000 is located in
the basement, it was stated. If
any of this equipment should
get wet there would be danger of
death to both patient and techni-
clan.
1t was generally agreed that
the present sewer system, estab-
lished in 1914 is inadequate, and
Engineer Charles H. Wells tes-
titled to the urgent need of con-
structing the new outlet.
Outcome of the meeting was
that City Solicitor Charles B.
Holtsberry prepare legislation
for financing the sewer construc-
tion for presentation to council
next Monday night.

Your Newspaper

There is an American un-

newspaper advertising and
publicity, a vital weapon,
that does it's work in the

Mr.. and Mrs. Newark turn

Glass Fiber Board
Newly Developed

The Navy Department, in CO.
operation with the Owens-Corn-
ing Fiberglas corporation, has de-
veloped a glass fiberboard for
the heat insulation and interior
finish of fighting ships which
has saved over 55,0O0,000 pounds
of aluminium since the first of
January, officials of the COM
pany said this week.
The amount of aluminium saw
ed, officials said, is equivalent to
the amount required for the con-
struction of $50 flying fortresses.
Raw materials needed for the
manufacture of the glass fiber
board are practically unlimited
and all are found within the con-
tinental borders of the United
States, they said.

Trailer Regulation

There has been some mis-
understanding about pro-
posed legislation which is
expected to be submitted to
the City Council for consl-
deration in the near future.
Rumors were to the effect
the legislation would ban
trailers."
A careful reading of the
communication sent to the
City Council by City Solici-
tor Charles B. Holtsberry
reveals that banning of
trailers is just what is not
wanted-merely regulation
and zoning of them for san
itary and health reasons,
and so some semblance OF
control can be maintained.
Solicitor Holtsberry's rec
ommendation is far-sighted
and worthy of the support
of not only the City Council
but every citizen and civic
organization.
With the very possible
coming to Newark of a large
Air Corps Ground Training
school, and the trek of out
side labor to this city be-
cause of the eventual labor
needs of the new Aluminium
plant, the housing shortage
in Newark will become criti-
cal. There is no doubt, as
has been the case in many
other cities, that huge trail
er camps will be set up. 1t
( is the control of these camps
that the Solicitor, Mayor Ar.
thur D. Lockwood, and the
City Council is concerned.
Adequate sanitary provis-
ions, health and fire inspec-
ton and protection, and zon-
ing will not only be a boon
to the trailer residents
themselves, but to every cit
izen of Newark.
We hope that fair and
adequate legislation in re-
gard to the trailer question
will be passed by council in
the near future.
