Expended $12,000 on park improve­ ments. 2. Laid new pavements. 3. Extended its sewer system. 4'. Reduced its bonded indebtedness from $112,000 in 1913, wet, to $106,000 in 1914, dry. < 5. Lowered its tax rate from $5.51 in 1913, wet, to $5.17 for 1914, dry. The above facts and figures were all obtained from official sources. The Elgin News, commenting on the city's financial condition, recently said: "Voting out the saloons has not cost Elgin $1.00 in taxes. Our new taxes are just starting to come in and we find that they are nearly 10 per cent less than when we had saloons." All kinds of painting and, interior decorating. Raymond Howard, Mc­ Henry, 111.
