Power Project on Ochlochnee
River Being Promoted by En-
gineers from Charlotte

BROWNSVILLE, May 25.-The
last meeting of city council was most
interesting. Several matters were
discussed which vitality affect the
future development of the city, one
being a proposal for water power
current for Thomasville and the 9th
er the letting of bids for the ninety
thousand dollars of street and side
walk paving.
The matter of water power was
pres Ated by Mr.. George A. MillSm.
of Ch~Tlotte, N. c., who has been
Tallahassee for several months In
connection with the project under
way there to dam the Ochlocknee
river and to use the water power
from that dam in this section of the
state. The project is being promot-
ed by Mees and Mees, engineers of
Charlotte, who have gone into it with
the idea Of developing the water
power at once. In with them are
Hardaway and Sons of Columbus as
contracting engineers and construc-
ton agents.
The project will develop large
amount of water power estimated at
five thousand horsepower. It will
take two years to make the delivery
of the current. Mr.. Miller stated
that he had closed contract after
many delays and much general and
individual discussion as to every de-
tailed point in the matter with Tai
lahassee agreeing to pay that city
$4,000 per annum for the use Of
the Tallahassee plant as a steam
auxiliary for the project. The rate
quoted for Tallahassee delivered to
the switchboard was two cents
per kilowatt hour This same rate.
he said, would apply for Thomas
vile.

In Webster City's Case

But for tax exemptions on money
borrowed by the people Webstei
City would undoubtedly be paying 9
per cent i.terest instead 'of 8 on the
$3.50 900 srorth Of school bonds they
sold a couple years ago, says the
Webster City Freeman Journal. That
would increase taxes by at least s2,-
500 per year in this school district.
There is no question but that the
tax exemption feature enables the
people to save from one-half 10 one
per cent on what they borrow, which
Is worth more to them than TO have
such securities taxed by the federal
government. They would not be
subject to local taxation in any ey-
ent, because they are held largely ~

mortgages are also held. Why, N

NERO" COMING
~ TO THE LYRIC.
Fox 81. !. Special, Staged in Italy
Has ,. full Photographic
Effects.
MANY CAMERAS
WERE USED
This Graadiose Spectacle of Ancient
Rome Took New York Audi
encies BY Storm, Evok-
ing Avalanche Of Praise.

Nero" the tremendous Fox pic
ture which is 10 be shown at the
Lyric Theatre next Sunday, Mon
day and Tuesday Is spectacle
such as has not been previously
seen on the silver mirror. 1t works
and abrupt but welcome turn from
the problem plots 10 those which
combined history with romance.
Throughout its unfolding one sees
the stupendous conceit Of the hast of
the Caesars, which resulted in the
destruction OF Rome, that he might
gain therefrom an inspiration to
compose new lyric. Then follows
the turning Of the lions loose on
the heipess Christians, the revolt Of
the Roman armies, and mob scenes
wherein thousands Of persons are
within the scope Of the mirror.
There are startling incidental scenes,
such as a huge slave Staying a lion
with his bare hands ard rescuing
his mistress, Vannian Princess.
The photographing was done in
Italy, with the actual localities of
the story as the scenes. One sees,
however, the celebratd Villa dEste
in Tivoli, the Italian Alps, and Mount
Vesuyius in eruption.
Copies of actual costumes were
used and the story agrees with the
accounts of Nero's life as related BY
Tacitus Dio Cassius, c. Suetonious
Tranquillus and other authorities.
Some idea of the greatness of the
spectacle may be gained from the
information .th@t .fess~~sms the
pictures taken, twenty-six cameras
were used, and 50 great was the
number of persons employed that
the Italian government loaned a
squadron of cavalry to keep order.
The sensational feature with which
the picture is packed, includes the
burning of Rome.
This effect is the greatest thing
of the kind ever shown on the
screen. The destruction of the
doomed city, amid the mounting sea
of flame and the immense clouds Of
smoke, is made more realistic by the
large crowds of terrified men and
women fleeing for safety from the
tumbling walls and burning brands Of
| the holocaust.
