the city as a whole. and the remand
err by the property owners along the

share OF this cost by means of a tax
on vehicles. Such a tax can be levied
without conflict with the present
state laws. City Auditor w. Fl. Alex

The hall, was there, the lights on,
the floor waxed, a crowd of about
seventy-f1ve couples was there and all
was set for the Home Guard dance at
the auditorium last night but the
music was conspicuous by it's absence.
AS one home guard expressed it.
We've got the time, the place, and
the girls, but it's doggone hard to find
the music"
Through a misunderstanding the
orchestra engaged to furnish music
for the dance did not appear as it was
playing for another dance in the city.
The crowd waited patiently for the
orchestra to appear and when it was
learned that the orchestra was not
available it was too late to secure
music for the dance from other
sources.
