COUNTY TREASURER KELLY TALKS On
TAX INCREASE

How much will the $1,000, 900 Expo
sition bond issue cost the taxpayer of
Alameda county
County Treasurer Kelly says that the
bond levy would mean but cost OF 80
cents for the first year on properly
assessed at $1,000. This cost would
reduce annually until it would dwlndle
away TO almost nothing. making an
average OF Is cents per year on property
assessments OF 81 600 Mr.. Kelly bases
his calculations on the 1914 valuation
OF the county, and declares that the
valuation of the county will probably
increase materially. and that the cost
to the taxpayer for the redemption OF
the Exposition bonds will dwindle
away to almost nothing.

THE SPRING MUSICAL.

The first spring musical OF the Cole
ridge Taylor Quintet, given on Friday
evening, March IL. at the Third Baptist
church, San Francisco, was a musical
treat. The attendance was fairly good
and those present had nothing but
words Of approval for the efforts OF the
performers. The only regret seemed to
be that every seat of the church was
not occupied The following is the
programme as presented:
30 Hail Us. Ye Free" chorus from
"Ernani." Quintet.
Contralto solo. "a Dream" Mrs.
Bessie Hunter.
Schubert's Serenade, Quartet.
Soprano solo. 81 Hear You Calling
Me-" Miss Emma Scott
Tenor solo, GOOD bye, Sweet Day."
H. Pierson.
"Sweet and Low" Excelsior quartet.
Soprano colo, willamette, Miss Laura
Toombs.
Baritone solo, THE Bugler," James
Lewls.
1.-The Rosary" Quintet.
The members of the quintet we're =
Sopranos, Miss Emma Scott and Miss
Laura Toombs; contralto, Mrs. Bessie
Hunter; tenor, Harry Person; bass.
Janes Lewis.
The first number by the quintet
Immediately won applause and showed
much careful rehearsing. 1t was ex-
cellently rendered.
Mrs. Bessie Hunter, contralto, pos
-sesses sweet voice, and her selection
won much merited applause. 1t was
good.
The Excelsior quartet. which is
known for its conscientious work, ac-
Quilted itself most creditably by doing
some good singing.
The soprano solo OF Miss Emma Scott
was very good. She sang with good
enunciation and most pleasing effect
and demonstrated that she has rich
and valuable voice.
Harry Pierson, whose tenor voice is
sweet, and who seems to sing without
any apparent effort, was at his best
and added much to the programme.
Miss Laura Toombs appeared to ex-
celIent advantage. Her voice is a rich
and powerful soprano, aud in her
rendition OF her solo she gave evidence
of careful training. Her number was a
most excellent one, received unstinted
applause, and deserved it all.
James Lewis in his baritone solo did
his part toward making the programme
frst-class. and was appreciated for the
effort.
Ali in all, the concert was one of the
best that has been given here for some
time, and the young people certainly
set high standard.
Mrs. Virginia Moore Hughes was the
accompanst. and j. Minor Thompson
master of ceremonies. and the greatest
credit is due to him as the promoter OF
the affair. 1t was classy, creditable in
all its phases, and it was good to be
there.

MADAME HACKLEY.

Madame E, Azalia Hacklev is
in San Francisco and stopping at
Mrs Marie Leslie's, 1884 Bush

noon. coming by steamer from Los
Angeles, where she had excellent
success and in her Folk Song
Festival" in which Io5 voices took
part, made decided hit. She will
be here until next Tuesday when
she leaves for Seattle via Sacra
mento. Mrs. Hackley is no stranger
in our midst, and there are many
who are proud of her achievement
in the musical world. and it is to
be regretted that there will be only
one recital given by her during her
short stay. On Tuesday she sang
in San Jose. where Mrs {. H.
Overton entertained her at her very
pretty villa.
