We're it not for the fact that the
bills at Keith's from week to week
are entirely changed in character, 1t
would be almost impossible to un-
derstand how Mr.. Keith can keep up
the present standard in vaudeville,
for during the season there has been
succession of important features
which a few years ago it would have
been impossible to obtain.
The coming week, for instance. will
have Joseph Hart's big production,
The Futurfty Winner" stirring
melodrama with an exciting horse
race for a finish. The company num-
bers Is people and the principal scene
which represents the quarterstretch
at Sheepshead bay with Kentucky
Thoroughbreds struggling for supre-
macy, is Ole of the most effective
staged in years. On the same bill will
be Flo Irwin in George AIDES most
amusing farce, Mrs. Peckham's Ca

Total ................ 81 I ,628.ZZ
This amount as will be seen is less
than $3.50 more than last year and
comes we'll within the overlay so
that the tax rate can remain the
same unless in some fit of generosity
larger amounts are raised. In regard
to the toll bridge-based upon a val
uation of fifteen dollars per share,
the money was provided for at the
special town meeting earlier as fol-
lows:
To amount appropriated by
the State ................ $3,500.00
To amount authorized by loan 10000
To amount appropriated from
overlay ............... 2l5.00
lOIdl ........... 9O,tlo.UO
Neither the money from the State or
from the loan has been received by
the town, yet $607.00 has already
been paid out for shares of the stock
which has been purchased by the
town to the number of thirty-five.
Taking out the $215 appropriated from
the overlay leaves $382.S0 coming
back to the town as an asset. Should
1t so happen that the commission
should value the bridge more than
the bridge company's own estimation
of its value three years ago as CIV
en- to the County Commissioners ($15
per share) the bridge company's at
torney has suggested that the sum al
ready provided could be turned in to
the account and the town take a bond
for deed and pay whatever balance
there might be at later date when
more convenient. So that even in
that case 1t would not have any result
on the taxes of this year or any seri-
Gus result on the taxes of any future
year. So cheer up and hunt around
for another worry if you've got to
have one.
