Scbeerer, Inc., 35 East Wecker Drive Chicago 200 Fifth Avenue, New York City taxes are going up in Fort Wayne and many are convinced that Mayor Hosey knew what he was doing when he held down the levies during his administration. Too late now. Lord Riddle of England offers $5,000 to any British born person who swims tlie English channel and breaks the record made by Gertrude Ederle. American girl, who accomplished the feat sevenal weeks ago. When it comes to athletics and endurance tests Americans seem to lead the world and old England evidently feels a little peeved with “Trudy’s” record swim especially aftet Bobby Jones took the golf championship from the English fellows. This community enjoys a feeling ol friendliness and most of us pride our pelves on the fin e community spirit i shown. Let's not cause any hatred to break this fine feeling, for in the end nothing is accomplished. Hatred and malice brings trouble and a dis rupted state of affairs and any at- , tempt on the part of any individual , <or organization which tries to create ill-will through misrepresentations or bigetory should be given the * cold ' shoulder. Congressman Albert Vestal is mak I ing a trip over the district this week, calling on republican friends, talking things over with the organization bnys and endeavoring to build up his fences for the November election We hope someone will show him the lot which the government purchased j in this -3S a site fcr t new pest- j office building and convi, e him of I A." * J • ■ , aam .< | federal building. While the pork I barrell is going around, why not take I care of Decatur? The new traffic ordinance is in I effect now. Sufficient publicity has been given the new ordinance to acquaint every person with its provisions and the police force will see that the law is complied with. Wholesale arrests are not planned as a means of enforcing the law, but after due warning has been given the vio lator, the penalty will be enforced It's to your interest that we all cooperate in complying with the ordinance, stop the “U" turns, observe the stop and go signs and otherwise observe the traffic rules. Did you ever stop to think that our city councilmen are paid only SIOO a year? For this magnificent sum they meet at least twice a month, give of their time in inspecting streets, alleys and sewers, pass ou petitions, assist in managing the municipal plant — worth more than half a million dollars —have the interest of the citizens and the city as a wnole at heart and take criticism might be heaped upon them for not doing everything just the way each individual thinks It should be done. Fortunately Decatur has a body of councilmen who are willing to perform their duties in a public and unselfish way and each three mon'hs they receive a check for $25. When you advertise you are not in-1 creasing expenses or adding overhead to your business, for the right kind of advertising, the right kind of sales talk on the right kind 6f merchandise should help Increase your sales and

thus decrease your dally expenses ’ and increase your profits. We are buying automobiles, radios and other articles cheaper today than when they were first put on the market, because sales have been increased , through advertising and the manu- ; facturer has been able to reduce his prices to the buying public The 1 Daily Democrat, which is the only daily in the county, has a guaranteed daily circulation of more than 3,200 and through this medium you can reuch every home in the city and practically all of them in the Decatur trading area. The successful merchant is doing it. The civil city's tax rate for next year will not be Increased. The levy will bo the same as this year, 73 cents on the hundred dollars, which will produce a little over $48,000, more than one thousand of this amount being for th e sinking fund, out of which is paid the city's share of the old school bonds. The budget for next year is lower than this year, due to the fact that the assessed valuation in Decatur is less than a year ago. No levy is mad e for the bonds Issued by the electric light and water departments of the municipal plant, these bonds and interest being paid out of the earnings of the plant. This item alone means a great saving to the taxpayers. Notwithstanding the fact that more than 50 ornamental light posts were installed through the city and new water mains were Installed, the levies for street lighting and water hydrant rental will not be increased. An appropriaton of SBOO is made for park purposes and from this levy funds will be made available for turning the old cemetery oh Winchester street into a city park. The first year of Mayor Krick's administration has been a busy one, several worthy improvements, including : the swimming pool, a continuation of ! the stret lighting progtam and increasing the capacity at the city plant being among the accomplishments. To do , all this and not increase taxes is an j act worthy of the confidence and appreciation of the people of Decatur.
