Dear M r. D r ay er : I am enclosin g check a s a contribution to the campaign fund of th e Home P arty in Wilmette, which in my opinion has given the Villa ge a high -grade adminis tration. I feel under obligations a s a citizen to the Trustees chose n by that party and to Pres ident Orner because I co nsider that they have materially improved the sta nd· ard of our lo cal gove rnm e n t for the bene fit of the public .

An analytical study of the fina ncial condition of the vil lage reveals, however, that despite very desirable and effective economies, the present administration has not been able to bring the expenses of the village to a basis where ONE YEAR'S INCOME is sufficient for a TWO YEAR'S OUTGO.
