In two-year program to develop
an improved type of refrigerator

conditions for rail transport of
fresh fruits and vegetables and
other perishables to compete with
expected air transport of these
commodities.
The railroads report a huge

Rubber Outlook
Improving SteodiIy
BY su.ER FREEMAN

The rubber situation is dcfi-
nitely on the mend. The best
indication is the removal of tire
rationing on Jan. /. But the ac-
cumulated demand for tires is
so great that not until after
mid-year of 1916 viii you be able
10 get what you want readily.
Production ef passenger car
tires has been increasing stead
lily. This month it is expected
finally to reach the prewar rate.
October has been the best month
50 far, exceeding any month
since November, 1871. Peak is
expected to be reached about
next June or July.
Because of the success of our
synthetic tires, as far as pas
Sengcr cars are concerned, the
StoCkpile of natural rubber has
shown a slight increase. At the
end of the year, it will be about
l25,000 tons or about $4,000
tons more than a year ago.
Here is some more heartening
news. The first shipments of
natural rubber from Singapore
are en- route to the United States
and England, They total about
25,000 tons and are not in good
condition. But nevertheless, it
IS rubber and will augment the
StOCknllc.

Special Reserves

II is beginning to appear that
some of the reserves which
were created by companies dur
ing the war years 20 provide
against a postwar recession
may not be required for the
express purposes for which they
were set up.
Brown Shoe Company had in
its balance sheet at the end of
October, 1914. a reserve of ST.
5000 against inventories for
an anticipated decline in mar
ket prices. This reserve had
been set aside out of earnings
over a period of four years at
the rate of S250,000 annually
equal to approximately 81 a
share on the 2f6 900 shares Of
stock outstanding.
II is now stated in the annual
report for the fiscal year ended
Oct. 81, 1915 that this $1,000.
600 has been transferred from
inventory reserve TO a reserve
fer contingencies 10 which was
added out of earnings in the
latest year a further reserve of
S450000 making a total of ST.
100000.

.0utIaybyB Bendix
Set at Is Million

According TO present estimates,
about SIS, 100000 will be expended
by BendiX Aviation Corp. for the
purchase and moderniZation of
plants and facilities needed to
carry out its present plans for
peacetime operations, Ernest r.
Breecb. president, told corporation
stockholders in a letter mailed to-
day accompanying quarterly divi-
dend checks.
Breech said that development
of new products has been under
way for many months, but that
only a few could be finished for
production prior to the wars end
because of the demands on Bendix
engineers for war products.
"When these products are
ready to be introduced" he said,
"capital Will be required not
only for plants and facilities, but
for usual working capital items"
Commenting on the reduction Of
the dividend rate from rs cents a
share TO so cents a share, Breech
said that although it had been
anticipated, the wholesale cancel
1ation of war contracts, and prob
lens and delays in reconversion
to peacetime production. have ma
terially changed the corporations
profit picture.
He pointed out that from 1888
to the peak of the war effort in
1914, Bendix employment ex-
panded from $500 persons TO over
10000 employees. At the present
time, he continued, the company
has approximately $4,000 employees
on its rolls, and there will be
further reductions as contract
examinations and reconversion are
completed.

WatertOwn At Cross Roads In Community Development Selectman Dunn Makes Special Appeal to Voters
 to Attend Town Meeting Tonight - Inn
 portant Measures to Be Discussed.

This opinion is not localized, as the Town of Milford, at called Town Meeting, has just passed a vote asking for this minority repre- sentation and will present Q suit able bill to the Legislature. Other towns have asked and been granted the same privilege through "Spe- cial Legislative Bill'.
 It is also requested that this meeting consider Board of Safety. Watertown, at present has approximately, by estimate. 10000 people and when 1t is so officially determined voting machines are compulsory. With this population, the town has now reached the cross roads and Board of Safety cer- tainly is in order for consideration by those paying the taxes. The subjects to be reviewed at this meeting certainly appear progress Sive and noteworthy and should not be held up to ridicule by Emery Steward" the so-called signer of recent article in the Waterbury American.
 It is my duty as a member of the Board of Selectment to present the petition of the people calling this meeting but also at this time earnestly request everyone who possibly can to attend this meeting and cast his or her vote in the manner which they feel is best for Watertown.
 Respectfully.
 MICHAEL V. DUNN,
 Selectman, Town of Watertown
 Chairman, Democratic Town
 Committee.
