The members of the revenue

that the report could not be ready
sooner, but owing to the wide
range Of subjects covered and de-
lays not avoidable, this was i'm
possible. AS 1t is, from six weeks

Worthy Of note is the fact that

have been extremely harmonious.
There have been differences OF
opinion. but after full and general
discussions, 1t has been found tha.
the minor changes made related
more to phraseology than to the
general plan of public economy
behind the report. The matters
that the commission has gone over,
constituting a great preponderancc

at the same time, there are
special groups which feel that their

and should be so treated How
ever, If all these special causes
were added together and allowed,
it would emasculate the very pur-
pose OF the investigation. II the
people of the state really want an
adjustment, they must be willing
to let down on their particular
hobbies in order that the general
scheme may be carried through.
"The members of the commission
realize that they have had so many
things to study that not every por-
ton of the report will be perfect
They hope that the citizens of the
state will not select one isolated
part of the document and through
hurting objections at that, be able
to discredit the larger principles
involved. They hope that the citi-
zenship of the state will appraise
the report as whole, find the
skeleton in it and the plan behind
it and judge the system of recon-
mendations in its completeness"
No announcement is being made
as yet as to the contents of the re-
port, but 1t is generally understood
that the entire reyenue-raising ma
chinery of the state has been
studied and suggestions made when
remedy seemed necessary. The
disbursement of public monies has
also been considered carefully, as
well as the system of state admin
istration. The final approval will
be given by the committee late this
week and the document will un-
be ready for publicity

Comedy Work Wins Audience.
The Montague Light Opera Sing
crs might we'll be classified as
actors who can sing, rather than
as singers who can act. While
their voices met the easy require
ments of most of the selections Of
fered, they won their audience by
their effervescent humor, and. in
some eases, even buffoonery. There
were, of course, some exceptions,
where the singing and not the act
ing constituted the tour de force.
Among these exceptions were the
"Polonaise,"' from "Mignon," and
zone Fine Day" from Madame
Butterfly" both sung by Margaret
Mellor. The coloratura work in
the former Is extremely difficult
and, the singer met all the exact
ions with bird-like ease. The
Puccini aria Is a pons asinorum for
sopranos. but Miss Mellor crossed
the bridge without jarring a single
cross beam. @
