Good Will Given a New Impetus
A statement of Dodge Brothers
war activities is due the owners
of their cars.
Dodge Brothers refrained, during
the progress of the war, from any
reference to the performance of
the car in Government service.
It seems proper now, however,
to disclose the facts, because they
are creditable facts intensifying
that good will which owners of
Dodge Brothers cars have always
manifested.
Dodge Brothers car was the only
one of its class approved and
adopted by the War Department
t
In a separate Ordnance Works,
built especially for the purpose,
costing millions of dollars and
employing thousands of their
skilled motor workmen, Dodge
Brothers undertook an important
duty designated by the War
; Department.
Without the aid of their great
motor organization, Dodge
Brothers could not have fulfilled
the heavy obligation which they
i were asked to assume by the
Ordnance Department.
ii
I The other service required of
' Dodge Brothers motor works, by
the Government, was to continue
to furnish their cars as tney were
needed.
They were furnished, not in
hundreds, but in thousands both
for the training camps here, and
for service in Belgium, France
and Italy.
The record of those thousands of
camp and army cars is one in
which any owner may feel the
utmost pride and satisfaction. ,
Their performance justified the
compliment implied in their
selection by the Government
The great works in which nearly
three hundred thousand of their
cars have been produced in the
past four years furnished a vast
store-house of human energy
and equipment -for the ordnance
work.
Naturally, it will take time to
adjust the motor works to its full
accustomed activity.
Gradually Dodge Brothers will
resume the grateful task of con
tinuing to deserve the good will
of America and indeed of the
whole world.
Dodge Brothers consider good will
their most valuable possession.
They will never knowingly ; 3o
anything to lessen it. ,

and devise ways and raonns for holding
an election for the adoption., thoroof
we, your finance committee, have care
fully (oiitiiUicrt tho proposed budget
us Htliniiited to tho voters and rojefcted
last Sulurduy, November -'0, 1918. Wo
have gone over said budget, item by it
em, cnrefully considering the same, and
we find that we nro unable to oithor
eliminate or cut down any of said item
for tho reason that in most instances
tho money has already been actually ex
pendod, or contracts niadq obligating
tho district to tho expenditure, and m
the few cases where this is not true,
w icel that n cut Would not bo justi
fi:d. To illustrate our position, wo will
take tho item for insurance.
A great portion of this insurance hns
not been contracted for, but wo have al
ready cut down tho insurance upon the
buildings, and hesitato to eliminate
inure for tho reason that the risk to the
district is too hazardous.
Tho itoin of $:t2."i(t for tho Holman
property lias received our careful con
s' deration and we cannot seo our way
clear to eliminate the samo for the fol
lowing reasons. First, we have coutract;
ed for the property at that price, which
contract was made at this timo for tlio
reason that said property was to b
thrown on the market, and the board
felt that the juice for which tho samo
could be bought now wns much less
than that for which it could bo bought
in the future, for had the district not
pilrchased the same it would undoubted
ly have reached the hands of some spec
ulatois mid ultimately . the dismef
would haV6 been compelled to pay an
exorbitant price therefore. The board
has acted upon this matter as a whole
and considered that the opportunity
presenting itself should be tuken ad
vantage of, and the property purchased.
Second: Wo feel that the purchase
of this property is ono of the best in
vestments which the board has made
toi some years past. The property i
roing overhauled at slight .'in'nw to
tho district by the manual training ue
ywrtmi nt of the hlgH school. The inn
tcrial which is being used would be used
in that department for some other pur
pose ware it not being used for over
hauling this building, and therefore the
ultimate cost of remodelling tho same
to the district is nothing. When the
same is remodelled, there will be four
frst class rooms to bo rented, which can
easily bo rented to teachers or other
persons connected with the school for
a rental of at least 140 a month. ThU
would bring an income to the district
of at least $400 a year which would pay
interest on the purchase price and leave
the district a net profit of better than'
1200 per annum. In addition to tftis,
when remodelled, the first floor of said
building will be used as the domestic
'scienoo cottage, entitling our two in
j structora in that department to draw
I ono half of thoir salaries from tho
l Smith-Hughes fund. This means an in
, cojiie to the district of $1300 per annua,
making n total incomo from said build
ling to tho district of not less than
$1500 per annum. Wo feel that in the
light of these figures, no ono could
question tho wisdom of making the pur
chase and of making it for tlio price
agreed upon at this particular timo
and wo therefore recommend that the
item remain in tho budget
On the other sido of tho budget there
Is not much room for latitudo but upon
tho final rochecking of tho school-census,
which 1 was completed after the
first budget was -adopted, it develops
that thero is a shorfngc in tho enumer
ation of only 328 nnme9 instead of 066
names as first appeared. This would
entitle us to reduce tho nmouut of mon
ey to be raised by taxation to $93,208.
34 and would increase the item in the
budget derived from staje and county
school funds to $33,629, reducing the
levy to 7.4 mills.
After careful; conscientious and pains
taking consideration of this budget, we
do not find that any other changes can
bo made.
