A BUDGET OF YOUR EXPENSES
The proposed city bu&get for the year 1026 is pul
hshed in this issue of The Observer. It is a publication
, worthy of the attention of all good citizens. In it are
' listed the estimated expenses that will be required of the
; city in the coming year, and also a comparative statement
i.showuig.-proviauiue3timates and expenditures of past years
. It should be of interest because it is your money that is
to be spent and it's published for that reason. After re
viewing the budget and considering it at length, it is a
very gratifying thing to find that the city will operate
' ns economically this year as last. If the city were at a
standstill, if we were making no growth, no progress, no
. improvements in many city departments, such a thing
would be natural. If we remained the same city in size
and conveniences and protection for an indefinite time, iti
ji would of course be an easy matter to keep the cit7 budget
f down. But such is not the case. La Grande is growing.
La Grande is progressing, changing, improving. And that
' costs money. There are some departments that show a
substantial increase in the budget, but the commission
committee has been able to effect sufficient savings in
; other ways to make the total but a few dollars greater
thnn in previous years. The city of La Grande is a big
corporation. .It's a five million dollar business, and al-j
: though the' sura -required for its operation is quite a bit
yi inuiiuy we are inclined to believe that we are fortunate
- it doesn't require more! The commission deserves com
; mendation both for their efforts toward economy and to
,. wait! city improvement and progress.

The Chrysler Six meets the new Ameri
can demand for comfort without waste,
for highest quality withoutexcessivecost,
for exceptional beauty without extrava
gance. Women especially are enthusias
tic about these Chrysler qualities.
The Chrysler Six actually rides more
comfoitably and solidly than many two
ton cars due to scientifically distributed
weight and a low center of gravity;
the Chrysler-designed type of spring
mounting which docs away with side
way; to full balloon tires and Watson
(tabulators, the finest device of its type to
eliminate the shock of road inequalities.
To the superiority of its unsurpassed per
formance results, the Chrysler Six joinn
a complete freedom from mechanical
worry. An air-cleaner keeps all dust and
road dirt out of the engine. The Purola
tor filters thecrankcase oil as the motor
runs. Thermostatic heat control keeps
the motor always at the most efficient
working temperature. Chrysler hydrau
lic four-wheel brakes insure a wide
factor of safety.
Let us make you better acquainted with
the Chrysler Six. A phone call will
bring a Chrysler Six to your door for
a demonstration.
