We Americans have been extrava-
CANT. We have literally educated our
selves to be careless with the most
expensive things we buy. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that the care
iessness of American motor car drivers
during 1920 cost them in round figures
$15O,OOO, 900, and this applies only to
tires. What has been your share!
You have contributed your bit. You
must now take this tire problem seri-
ously. Get every mile out of every
tire that the manufacturer has built
into it. If you don't you are the loser
and if everybody is a loser then the
tire deficit for 1921 will outrival last
year, for there are more motor car
owners today than there were a year
ago.
Good Advice to Follow.
If you follow the advice given in
this article you will get more service
from your tires, and at the end of the
season your expense will have been
SO much less than it ever was before
that you will no longer neglect your
tires.
The illustrations shown here are OF
the genuine abused tires, hundreds OF
which are discarded every day through
out the United States before they
have given the service for which they
were built. The mileage was built
into each tire, but the car driver lost
It through carelessness.

When chains are used they should
not be applied tightly. Leave them

CITY BUDGET FOR
1921 IS LOWER
CUT OF s12,o 900 PROPOSED BY FIN
ANCE COMMITTEE FOR CITY
EXPENSES

A reduction of $4,000 in the city
budget for the ensuing year was pro-
posed by the finance committee of the
council, which was to submit the pro-
posed budget at meeting last evening.
Last years tax levy was $72,275 and
the tax rate for the city was 56.14 mills.
The budget proposed for this year was
$6O,S00, or tax rate of 30.4 mills, a
reduction of $4,000 or 81 mills. The
big cut is on the revenue fund, which
was set at 1000, as compared with
$4,000 last year. The interest fund
was cut from $5,475 to $4,000 as some
bonds we're retired this year. The
sinking fund levy was cut from 4,4Oo
to $4,000 and while $4,400 is actually
required for this fund, it is proposed
to dispose of $1,000 worth of Liberty
bonds to take care Of the difference, as
was the intention when bonds were
bought.
Whether the above proposals were
finally adopted by the council cannot
be stated as the meeting was held after
press time.
