is believed that by this method the
general attitude of the people will be
known before any ordinance calling for
bond election will he passed.
Admitting the city hall, and espe-
cialy the Jail and police department,
was in a deplorable condition, none of
the city officials interviewed yester-
day could suggest a remedy. They
pointed out that as the people of the
city voted against eXpending any money
in this direction it would not be ad-
visable for the city commission to in
clude such improvements in the budget
for the ensuing year. Because of the
cramped conditions now endured in the
police department the suggestion was
made, and probably viii be carried out

PHOENIX CITY HALL

Because of its decision, expressed at
the recent bond election, to expend
1856, 900 in extending and improving
the water. sewer and fire prevention
systems, Phoenix will be called upon
to pay a tax increase of s cents on the
500, according to an unofficial esti-
mate of Mayor Plunkett yesterday. He
estimated that the city will have a
$50, 900, 900 valuation on the next as
sessment roll.
Following out the figures, it was dis
closed that had the entire bond issue
carried, the increased taxation would
have been a small fraction over II
cents on the 800. According to this
estimate, by voting to add another 4
cents on the 500, Phoenix could have
realizen an enlarged paving program,
and extended and improved park and

building and remodeIing of the present
structure, and a 100000 state armory

As its special feature attraction the
Maulx's Columbia theater will show
THE Willow Tree" the super-produc-
run of two days beginning today. 1.-THE
Willow Tree is laid in Japan, and
tells a weird, fantastic story of an
image that came to life in the form OF
a beautiful maiden. The play is sur
charged with delicate sentiment, deli
cious comedy and tender pathos, and it
vehicles on the screen that this dainty
and talented little actress has thus
far had.
j. H Benrimo and Harrison Rhodes
are the gifted authors Of THE Willow
Tree" as a stage play. Mr.. Rhodes
was co-author of that famous comedy
drama, "a Gentleman from Mississir-
pi," while Mr.. Benrimo was co-author
of "The Yellow Jacket" THE Willow
Tree" was enormously successful when
1t was first produced on Broadway by
Cohan and Harris, and the screen ver-
sion is said to be an improvement over
the original stage play
The action of the play trausp'ras for
the most part in far-off Japan, where
Hamilton, the young Englishman, goes
after he has been pilted by his fiancee.
Thereafter it concerns an ancient le
gend regarding the wooden image of
n beautiful girl and her coming to life
after she has been bought AMI taken
/ home by the young Englishmap. 1t is
a sweet and appealing love story.

s marked by a Sumptuousness hitherto
unknown in plays of this kind.

pirants for the screen to demonstrate
their sincerity. Remember the ole

ing to be one of the biggest nights the

other way of stating IL will be one o.

City View Dairy Lowers Price on
Guernsey Milk.
The City View Dairy Of this city
is among the first to lower the price
Of milk. This reduction will be well
coined by all milk users. altho people
who appreciate quality have insisted
on having the high quality milk this
dairy sells, at any price. The former
price on this milk was 10 cents per
quart. Effective today the price is 16
cents per quart, and cents per pint.
Feed is lower in price, and this is
the reason Mr.. Jensen gives for this
reduction. He is glad to be able now
to give his customers the benefit of
falling markets. Any one who knows
quality in milk is sure to appreciate
the fact that the milk sold by this
dairy Is all pure Guernsey milk-and
Guernseys are known to be 1.-THE best
milk producers In the country. This
milk Is considered the best and rich
est sold in the city.
