1OOaty Customers:

You probably already have undoubtedly
will be offered milk cheaper than you are now
paying for it. Our competitors being desirous
of more patronage have made decided cut in
the price.
Since July 18th we have been selling milk
ON breakev basis and we feel that we can not
reduce the price and still furnish the quality
of milk. We do not care to omit any procedure
in the process of handling and producing this milk
which will in any way make it an inferior product.
We are not thinking Of going out of busi-
ness but should anything happen we would prefer
10 20 Out on our feet instead of our heads. AT
the present time we are selling milk 40 per cent
lower than we were in times which we feel
is a reasonable reduction compared to other COM
modities.
Our labor which is the largest item of ex-
pense in the production and distribution of milk
Loo. had their-rHages cut less than Is per cent.
Grains something like 90 per cent cheaper but
hays are only about 20 per cent cheaper and hays
are the main part of cows ration.
We might mention few points concerning
our farm which We think worthy of your considera-
tiOn:
We employ more men specially trained for the
production of clean milk than other similar Or
CARNATIONS.
All of our milk is sold raw. 1t comes from only
two farms, the McBaine Dairy under the manage
ment of Mr.. Clyde Shepard and our own farm
located just north of town. Both of these farms
are open at all times for your inspection.
You have heard more or less about the value of
pasteurizatiOn. We too, think pasteurization is
d good thing in its place but it has no place on
either of these two farms.
We think milk produced under good condi.
lions from healthy COWS is better raw than pasteur.
lied. Our herd is tested regularly for tuberculosis
and we have been awarded an accredited herd Ger.
tifoate from the federal government for having
and maintaining healthy herd for term of wears.
We might further say that we are very proud of
this certificate. We also make a blood test under
the supervision of the State for other contagious
diseases. Both farms are equipped with steam
sterilization, which insures perfect steilization and
all other equipment which has to do with the pro.
duction of clean milk.
We think the majority of our customers would
not want us to furnish milk to them at loss Just
Tor the purpose of meeting over-ambitious com.
petition. We want you to know that we will re-
gret to lose any OF our customers very much but
ii you feel you must take advantage of The low
Inquire we hope you will see fit to return TO us
after competitive differences have passed over
We are doing our best to produce good
clean healthful product. We trust you will con-
slider the matter seriously before dismissing our
service.
thanking you, are
Very truly yours

at Princeton would be marked by a

TO PAYMENTS
ON new SEWER

Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Oct. 1S.-Property own
ers have received assessment mo-
tees on the cost Of the proposed
sewer system. including cost of
sediment tanks and outfall sewer
from the sediment tanks to the
Geneseo creek at the crossing Of
the Hennepin canal aqueduct.
The estimated cost Of this sys-
tenn a few years ago. when the pre-
lfminary steps were taken. vas
$685., 900. The cost with present o.
Inmates has been reduced to 321o,-
306.93, Of which the total amount
assessed as benefits upon the pub
lie is $1e,0ss.03. An allowance Of
s per cent 10 permissible under
the Law for legal and ether sx-
penses.
The assessment roll was filed
with the county court Of Henry
county on Sept. 20. 1872. The as
sessments may be paid in 10 in
stallments. each bearing interest at
the rate Of per cent per annum.
Application for the confirmation
of this assessment will be made In
this court In Cambridge, ILL.,, ON
the 3lst day of OCTOBER, 1872, Ut 10
O'Clock In the morning. All per-
sons desiring may file objections In
this court before this date and may
appear on the hearing and make
their defense.
The receipt Of the assessment
notices by the property owners has
caused great deal Of discussion.
Many people are at . loss to under
stand how their assessments have
been fixed by the board OF apprais-
ers and of these q large percent
age feel that the assessment IL
too high" Before settling upon the
plan Of making assessments upon
the basis Of the front foot per lot
the appraising board considered
other plans, but found that this
seemed most equitable to the great.
est number OF people.
In residential sections tho As
sessed front foot basis of cost was
fixed at $1.35 pei foot. On corner
lots in excess OF 125 feet the addi.
tional assessment vas added BY
the foot up to $50 feet. That is: q
lot 60-foot front and 145 feet deeE
would be assessed on q basis Of 80,
foot frontage. In cases of the depth
being over $50 feet an additional
frontage Of 80 feet would be charg
ed. Thus, a lot 165 feet deep viii
65-foot frontage would be assesset
on a basis of 98 front feet.
In the larger areas in the out
lying portions Of the city the as
sessment was fixed at 70 per cen
Of the frontage with the 30 per cen
added whenever these outlying sec
tons are equipped with sewers t.
meet residence lot requirements.
The business section of the city
was assessed on q basis Of 400 pei
