TOTAL LEVY 10B CITY
l'BOl'EBTY IS 9756 MILLS
The North- Platto taxpayer will pay
noarly ten cents per dollar on tho as
sessed valuation of his proporty this
year, tho combined levies aggregating
97 mills. Tho state levy is CIO mills,
coufoty 14.00 mills, city 34 mills apd
school district 42.50 mills. This Is
equivalent to a Inaction less than
two per cent on tho supposed real value
of proporty. For Instance, If you have,
say $2,000 on tlmo doposlt in a bank
which draws four per cent, and you
have been honest enough to list tho
full $2,000 'to tho assossor for taxa
tion, one-half tho Intorost you ro
ceivo must be paid as a itax on yout
deposit, ao your not Interest shrinks
to two per cent which seems, and Is,
very small.
Tlmo was when one month's ront of
u houso or store building In North
Platto paid tho yearly tax against tho
building, but not so now; as a gen
oral rulo It takes nearly the rent of
two months. '
Tho gradual lncroaso In taxes is not

officials; It comes from our deslro to

and that costs us $6,000 a year for

larger school buildings and we pay
about $8,000 a year intorost on them;
our library costs us $1500 a year, our
street lights $4,500, our llro dopart
niont (this year) $0,000; wo needed
a city park and that costs us $1,500 a

and iltt malntonanco costs $2,000 or

Almost 34 horse-power from this reg
ular stock Maxwell engine!
34 actual, brake horse-power!
Proved by an accurate dynamometer
test, made in the Maxwell laboratories
August 10, 1916.
There has been a lot of talk about
horse-power, and we just want to lei
Max weir owners and prospective owners
know that in respect to horse-power, as
in most other respects, the Maxwell
leads by a comfortable margin. Not
that we attach such great importance to
horse-power. We don't We never have.
Horse-power abundant horse-power
is only one of many superior features
of the MaxweH.
We are selling motor cars complete
motor cars not engines or horse-power.
Horse-power is a matter that is second
ary' to motor efficiency and economy.
A giant has no advantage if he does not
apply, or wrongly applies, his strength.
Maxwell cars have horse-power all
you want or need probably more per
pound of car weight than any other
automobile in the world.
But we don't make any loud cry
about it,
Because we have more than horse
power to sell you.
Because you are, and should be, inter
ested in results, the net effectiveness of
power.
We challenge competitive tests. We
invite comparison.
Because we absolutely know that no
car of its class or weight can surpass
the Maxwell on speedways, on rough
roads, through sand or mud, anywhere.
And because we know, and you will
know, that, everything considered, the
Maxwell is the World's Greatest Motor
Car Value!
