why SOUTH

WILL RAISE
TAX RATES
Taxpayer to Stand Most Of
Expense for Proposed I'm
provement, Figures Show
Total Cost $225,0O0.
BOND ISSUE REQUIRED

No matter how the expense for the
proposed south side bridge Is tech
nically divided, the humble taxpayer
is going to have to pay ten cents more
taxes on the hundred to pay for it.,
persons familiar with the bridge sit
uation declared Thursday.
While it is true that from the south
side bridge fund was taken $4,000
to build the Main street bridge, all
this money has been used, and 1t Is
not in the county treasury. In the
south side bridge fund there is only
about $4,000 at the present time.
AS the new bridge will cost at least
1925, 900 with the original plans, there
must be a bond issue of 100000 or
more to pay for the proposed bridge.
Smaller Bridge Considered.
While part of this money will be
used technically to pay for the Main
street bridge, and the $4,000 of the
South G street bridge fund, borrowed
for the Main street bridge, will be
paid back, the bond issue will be alb
solutely required before the south
side bridge can be built.
The tax payer will have to pay ten
cents more taxes before the construc-

the issue will be technically charged.
Shifting Of accounts back and forth
on the county's books will not change
this fact.
It was also learned Thursday that
advocates of the bridge are planning
in case they cannot secure an appro-
priation sufficient to build bridge to
accommodate two street car tracks
and large volume of other traffic, to
ask for appropriations to build a
smaller, single-track structure.
This would cost the county about
SAC, 900 less, but the proposed smaller
bridge would inevitably have to be
replaced or improved comparatively
soon, and when the south side bridge
is built it should be a structure for
all time.

Moliere's masterpiece, and the great
favor which met the production by NJ
Copeau's forces last year was the fac
tor which decided him to include it in
a repertory consisting otherwise almost
entirely OF plays not before produced
by the company in New York.
The story of "L'Avare" is too we'll
known to require narration. The role
of Harpagon, the old miser, who not
only makes all those who surround him
miserable, but never knows happy
moment himself, because in every look
and gesture he divines some hidden de-
sign upon him, is most dramatic one,
and one shat Moliere himself took great

to be one which finds an ever increas-

put on community participation.
In Nine. Guilbert's support are l..
Rogers Lytton, Rollo Peters, Margherita
Sargent and Wells Spalding, in addition
to the regular company of Neighbour
hood Players.
The music used in the play has been
selected from Nine. Guilbert's private
collection, and it includes many pieces
CT church music older even than the
play itself. The choruses have been
trained under the direction of Edith
Quaile.
The scenery and costumes have been

have been executed under the direction
of Ethel Frankau, Aline Bernstein and
