North Town Tax Payers VIII Reflect
These Honest Officials Next Tues.
day Without Fall.
Their Public Record Is an Honest One.
and the People Approve
of Il.

North Town taxpayers who have
their interests at heart will vote for the
Democratic North Town ticket.
The present Democratic town officers
have stood between the people and cx-
travagancc during their whole term of
office.
When the men who build $4,000
barns and 5000 water closets in Lin
coin Park tried to get more money for
their contractor friends out of the long
suffering taxpayers, supervisor Perkins
came TO the rescue.
Vincent II. Perkins has been Super.
visor of the Town of North Chicago for
the past three years, and his conduct
of the affairs of that office has been of
such character as to impress the taX-
payers of the great Importance Of that
position.
When Mr.. Perkins was first elected
Supervisor in 1897, he found an out
standing Indebtedness against the town
Of North Chicago Of S11,O1S.12.. Every
dollar of this Indebtedness has been
paid, the annual running expenses OF
the office have been reduced 5000, ana
there Is a surplus In the treasury.
For many years prior to Mr.. Perkins
election the taxpayers of North Chicago
had been paying more than their Just
and equitable proportion of money for
park purposes, and Lake View had been
paying less than Its share. Mr.. Per-
klns insisted that the amount OF taxes
levied In the two towns for park pur-
poses should be- levied In conformity
with the amount of assessed property
in the two towns.
The Park Commissioners were not
satisfied with Mr.. Perkins action, ana
went into court TO compel the taNpay-
ers of North Chicago to pay one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars lS15o,-
OUW more than every sense or FAIRNESS
and Justice demanded that they should,
but failed, as Supervisor Perkins posi-
tino was sustained by Judge Tuley In
every particular.
Mr.. Perkins Is the first Supervisor to
require the Lincoln Park Board OF Com
mlssloners to submit an itcmlzed esti-
mate OF proposed expenditures before
certifying TO the County Clerk what
the tax levy for park purposes should
be.
1t Is Of undoubtcd interest to the tnN-
payers of North Chicago to know tiie
amount OF money which has been levieu
for mark purposes during Mr. Perkins
administration.
