TIRES
EVERY 60 DAYS
Commercial Vehicle May Not
Be Operated After Jan. 10
Without Endorsement
APPROVED INSPECTORS

A commercial motor vehicle may
not lawfully be operated after jan
uary Is, 1913, without an endorse
ment by an approved tire inspector
on the vehicles Certificate of War
Necessity. After that date, COM
mercial motor vehicles must be pre-
scented for tire inspection at 6O-day
or 5000 mile intervals, whichever
occurs first. Purpose of the per-
iodic tire inspections, the OPA
pointed out, is to insure proper tire
conservation. Under the inspection
plan, operators will be required to
make all possible repairs, adjust
ments or requirements necessary to
insure maximum service from their
tires. If an inspector finds that a
tire needs repairing to insure max
imum service, he will withhold en-
dorsement of the Certificate or War
Necessity or record form covering
operations of the vehicle on which
the tire is mounted until the re-
pairing has been done. If an in
spector finds any mechanical con-
dition causing undue tire wear, he
likewise WIFI recommend the nece5-
sary repairs and will not sign the
operators Certificate or record
form until they have been made.
Without removing tires, the inspec-
tor will check for:
1. Correct air pressure in tires.
2. Bent rims and out-of-true
wheels.
8. Cuts or breaks in treads or
sidewalks.
4. Evidences of wear from badly
alighned wheels, faulty brakes, UNI
balanced wheels, Gambler malalign-
ment and excessive wear of king
pins, bushings and wheel bearings.
Passenger Vehicles
By January 81, 1943, the tires on
every passenger car must be in
spected by an authorized OPA in
spector. Beginning the LIST of Feb
ruary 1913, every passenger car
owner will be required to have his
tires inspected periodically by an
authorized OPA inspector as fol-
lows: (a) All holders of basic
"a" or I'D" mileage book-every
four months, with inspections at
least 60 days apart. (b) All hold
ers of a "B", &C" or Supplemental
ID" mileage book = every two
months, with inspections at least 80

GIVE bessie WATER
Helps Milk Production, Says Uni
versity of Delaware Service

Plenty of water Tor cows is
real factor in keeping up milk pro-
duction, for milk is made up of
about 81 per cent water. And be-
cause so much of cows milk pro-
duction depends upon having plenty
of clean and fresh water often
enough, there's little chance to
place too much emphasis on this
subject, reports A. E. Tomhave,
head of the department of animal
and poultry industry at the Univer-
sity of Delaware. Experiments
have shown that good cows drink
ing from water bowls attached to
their stalls will produce from 81
to per cent more milk than cows
turned out twice daily to drink at
trough. Because many a Delaware
dairyman turns his cows out only
twice a day, there are many cases
where milk production drops when
cold weather comes. Ordinarily,
COW will drink about four pounds
of water for each pound of milk
produced. So, Tomhave says, pro-
vide them with plenty of clean
fresh water as often as possible.
Water for young stock is equally
important. This is oftentimes ne
elected at this time of the year,
but is necessary if young stock is
to grow and thrive.

NEW TAX PLAN
SENT GOVERNOR
Special Advisory Group Sub
mits Suggestions To
Raise Taxes
METHODS KEPT SECRET

Recommendations for new state
taxes to make up for the loss of
revenue from gasoline levies and
other war-hit sources are contain
ed in a report of 10-member spec
ial advisory committee which has
been submitted to Gov. Walter w.
Bacon. The submission of the re-
port to the Governor marked the
completion of three months of
study by the committee of tax
problems which will confront the
General Assembly when it convenes
next week.
Work of Committee
The committee, which was ap-
pointed by State Tax Commission
er James P. Truss, has worked with
the State Tax Department since
September. Its appointment was in
conformity with the state tax law
which empowers the commissioner
to name an advisory group. Con-
tents of the report are being kept
secret pending its study by the
Governor.
Drop in Revenue
A drop of approximately $780,
900 in state revenues is anticipated
because of the reduced income from
the gasoline sales tax, the reduction
in returns from state income taxes,
and the possible loss of racing rev.
enues.
