THEATRE LICENSE
TAX TO BE RAISED
Ordinance Amending Present License
Law Sponsored by Woman's
Club is introduced.

An ordinance amending the present
ordinance of the city code having to
do with the imposing Of certain license
taxes and providing for their collec-
ton in accordance with Chapter Is of
the Code Of Ordinances Of 1920, was
introduced by Commissioner Hinrichs
and put on first reading at the meet
ing of the board of city commissioners
yesterday afternoon. The amendment
provides for an increase in the license
taxes already imposed on molten pc
ture and vaudeville theatres.
A draft Of the amendment was sub
mitted by a committee of three f,om
the Pensacola Womans Club, who
were present at the meeting to urge
it's adoption.
The amended ordinance provides
that any theatre doing business in the
city of Pensacola and showing motion
pictures only, charging an admission
fee of % cents and not oyer so cents,
must pay 5000 more; motion pictures
and vaudeville. reserved seats, charg-
ing % cents and not more than so
cents, $3.50 more; motion pictures only.
so cents and not more than one dol
lar $1,000 more; motion pictures and
vaudeville, SO cents and not more than
one dollar $1,250 more per year;
motion pictures along or with. vaude-
vile charging more than one dollar,
$4,000 more per year.
I The proposed ordinance also pro-
vides that violators would be fined not
to exceed $1,000 and an imprisonment
of so days.
A communication from j. A. Jones,
manager of the Saenger theatres in
this city, requesting that before an
ordinance providing for an increase in
theatre license taxes be put on first
reading, that he be given a hearing
before the board. This letter, however
was not received until yesterday, and
as no article of amendment was on
file in the clerks office previous to the
time of meeting, and as the introduc-
ton of the proposed ordinances comes
up in the general routine of business
before communications, Mr. Jones was
not notified. The ordinance will not
become a law until it has been put on
three readings and Mr. Jones will be
given an opportunity to address the
board at the next meeting.
It is understood that the amend
ment is being supported by the Pen.
sacola W1oman's Club. and that sucn
action Is the outcome of come diff
ferences between the club e9d the
local theatres.

WORK AZ WELL GOING AHEAD
 WITH ENERGY
Machinery and Housing for the Standard Rig About Complete = Good Force On the Job.
(From Saturdays Daily)

Drilling at the test oil well, two and g half miles southwest of the city, is going forward with energy and, apparently, good progress is being made in sinking the test. The present depth of the well is not known. Yesterday and today the machinery has been in active opera tion and the workmen about the site are enthusiastic in the per formance of their duties. It is very evident that the Bowler Well Construction Company has de- pendablc crew and everyone of the organization displays much inter- est in his work.
 MT. Bowler, manager of the com pany, takes the lead ill the opera tion of the drill and is constantly on the job. He bears every indica- tion of possessing ripe knowledge of the work of sinking q test hole and handles the equipment in profes- sional fashion.
 Since active operations began, following some trouble encoun- tered in pumping water from the reservoir that caused a temporary shut down, many visitors have been at the site and it is not uncommon for from a half dozen to dozen automobiles to be parked along the sides of the road at the approach of the wells location, and a large number of people scattered about watching the heavy and noisy ma chinery spin the drill" downward in quest of oil
 Everyone is welcome to visit the site but MT. Bowler does not want visitors to mount the derrick plat form. break of the machinery or if something in its operation should go wrong would bring about dan gerous situation for those who should be standing near.

ANOTHER GREAT. HIGHWAY COMES
 TO ARKANSAS
Other Communities to Share in Distribution of Federal Funds-Arkadelphia on Two Roads.

Philadelphia, Feb. 18.--A. c. Me Daniel, Arkansas director on the Bankhead Highway project and John McMillan, official of road dis trict No. 1 in this county, are in Murfreesboro and Delight, in Pike county, where they will confer with good roads men of that section re- garding Improvements of the high way across Pike county, contingent on which is said to rest somewhat the decision of the Lee Highway people in routing their road that way, with the aid of federal funds.
 If this lap of road and that i'm mediately west of it can be i'm proved it is thought the Lee High way will traverse it, provided the southern routing is changed to the way by Memphis and across Arkan- sas This Lee Highway offers pros poets in addition to the Bankhead Highway travel of both to come through Philadelphia when they are finished
 The citizens of this section are enthusiastic over receiving liberal aid through federal funds in high way building. Realizing that they are to pay their part of the taxes that create the federal funds they are going to get their money back in good roads while the opportunity is open to them.
