De Laval
Cream Separators
ARE so MUCH BETTER THAN
OTHER CREAM SEPARAT0RS

BECAUSE.-They constructed after the alpha"
Disc andl Split Wing patents which cannot be used by
any other manufacturer and which enable De Laval mach
ines skim cleaner and produce a more and more
thoroughly churnabe than otherwise possible
much less speed and wear and much greater of
ton.
BECAUSE.-The De Laval makers have been
first and foremost in the manufacture of Cream Separators
throughout the word-have led where others follow
their factories being among the finest machine shops in the
world and their knowledge Of Sepaators far greater
and thorough than that of any comparatively
enced would.be competitor
BECAUSE.-The purpose Of the DE Laval makers
has been the production of the best Cream Separator
possible regardless of cost instead of that mistaken hcap
ness which the only basis upon which any woudbe
petitor make pretence Of seeking market.
BECAUSE.-The vastly greater sale of De Laval
machinesten times all others combnedenabes the De
Laval makers do these things and much the pro-
ducon OF the perfect Cream Separator that else
could attempt.
De Laval catalogue explaining detail the facts here
forth may be had for the asking.

DAY afternoon and evening but the
production was disappointing in many
respects. None OF the characters

O'Laughlin being especially good.

ESTIMATED RECEIPTS FOR 1902.



1t appears from these figures that the
sum of sl6 1927 must be raised by taxa
ton to meet the current expenses of the
present year.
Elehty-eight new buildings have been
erected in the city during the past year.
and it seems fair to assume that these will
incro ase our grand list by at least s.. 900
over and above any deductions. If this
assumption be correct, our grand list for
the year 1902, will be SlS3G52,S2. A tax Of
ono hundred and nifty cents on this grand
list win raise sl99,57o,23. which sum will
provide for the estimated expenses and the
sinking fund and leave a surplus to apply
on the floating debt. Should the grand list
remain the same as last year, IL tax of ono
hundred and fifty cents will raise an
amount $3.50, SO in excess of the estimates
Such a tax | recommend.
In conclusion, ! urge upon every depart
mont the necessity OF extreme economy,
and of keeping expenditures within tho es-
Inmates,

This increase in our liabilities is account
