High School basketball team succeed
ed in winning its second game from

believed they can do this. Friday
nights game resulted in a score of
38-19.
After a poor first half, during which
they were literally played off their
feet, Pleasantville High Schools pass
ers came back, and in real champion
ship form, snatched a victory out of
what had already seemed to be a sure
defeat.
At one stage of the game, in the
first half. Ocean City High held sway
by a 40 score. Then the tables
turned. Clark located the rims on
two occasions, while OFT dropped in a
single two-pointer.
At half time Ocean City High School

MUSICAL REVUE
PLANS PROGRESS
American Legion 1923 Produc-
ton Getting Under Way-5O
Local People in Cast,
ENDERLlN

One of the snappiest shows ever
given in Pleasantyille will be staged
by members of Mainland Post, Amer
lean Legion, some time in March.
Rehearsals started last Friday night,
at the Legion Hall. The play, which
is styled 1.-The Torpbem Revue, will
be a musical comedy in two acts. and
in the cast will be included over fifty
local people.
The play will be staged in the High
School Auditorium for three consecu-
tive nights, and the sale of tickets
will be limited to 1900, which is the
capacity of the house for each night.
Mainland Post has already gone to
great expense for costumes and other
effects for this production, and would
expect the united support of Pleasant
vile and nearby people in the ticket
sale. The funds raised by the show
will be used for the improvement of
the Legion headquarters in the old
fire house, which was donated by City
Council several months ago The
building needs to have lots of money
spent on it to make it a club house
of respectable proportions. The
boys" gave their service in the
World War and now ask something in
return from the people they served.
G. William Enderlin has been made
director of the show. He gained con-
siderable experience in show business
while in the service. He was a mem
Der of the Snap 1t Up" company
which gained great fame in the A. E.
r. in FranoeAThis.sho wa com,
plimented by General Pershing and
other officers in high commands both
of the United States and their allies.
Enderlin is capable of staging a fine
show and will do his best to make
"The Torpbem Revue" a play that
will long be remembered.

City Council Will
Discuss Budget
Board of School Estimates to
Meet This Tuesday Night
Increase This Year.

Just what the amount of the annual
appropriation ordinance for 1928 will
be is to be made known tonight, when
City Council will meet in special ses-
sion to consider the matter and pass
the ordinance on first reading. 1t was
expected to hold the special meeting
last Friday night, but it was deferred
until this week, so that the Board of
School Estimates could meet and de-
termine how much money was needed
for school purposes this year. The
Board of Estimates held a meeting
last night (Tuesdayl and made up its
budget, which will be formally pre-
scented to Council tonight.
With an increase in school teachers
salaries coming this year and other
additional moneys needed, both by the
schools and the several committees of
Council, the appropriations for this
year will probably exceed the amount
of last year. The increase in valua-
ton of some properties will keep the
tax rate down considerably, but it
may be a few cents higher than last
year. Had it not been that the asses
sors increased some valuations, it
would necessarily have been higher to
give the money needed this year.
The tax rate viii not be known IN
til all the county municipalities have
reported TO the Atlantic County Tax
Board, so that body may ascertain
how much each municipality must pay
for state and county tax.

AUTO DEALERS AROUSED OVER
 PROPOSED TAXES
Means Largest Convention Of Members Ever Held In
 State At Mobile

The reports coming out of Mont gomery regarding new taxes and inn posts of various kinds to be placed on the automobile industry promises to aid in making the convention of the Alabama Automotive association in Mobile next week the largest in the history of the organization. Reese Adamson, president of the associa- tion, said Tuesday that Birmingham already has three solid sleepers of members lined up for the convention trip, and will probably have another carload by Saturday. Montgomery promises to have three cars of dele gates and other cities of the state will send delegates in proportion.
 The automobile men feel the spe- cial importance of coming together at this time In order that they may take united action to prevent the imposi- tion of new taxes which they con- slider very unjust. They feel that even taxes which are not levied upon them, but upon the automobile owner. are such as to reflect upon the deal CTS and add to an already heavy bur den.
 The latest proposal to put l per cent tax upon the gross business of all dealers in automobile accessories is but one instance of what they con slider unfairness. The fees proposed for tax assessment and collection and the increase in the license tax to such unusual figures. added to the gasoline tax, are other things which make the dealers feel that they are being discriminated against. It is these things, according to President Adamson, which are arousing the au- tomobile dealers to unusual activity in protection of their industry and which give him assurance that the convention at Mobile will be the largest and most representative the association has ever held.

"Shot To Be Echoed In Every Section"

MADISON, Wis, July 17.-1n the election of Magnus Johnson to the Senate yesterday the people of Min nesota fired a shot which will be heard in every section of the coun- try" according to a statement issued today by senator R. Nj. LaFollette who supported MT. Johnson.
 The people of the great northwest have again spoken their convictions that if representative government is to survive in the United States pri- vate monopoly must be driven out of control of their government" the statement says. The notion with which the reactionaries comfort thems the election of Johnson expresses merely a sectional protest of disgruntled farmers and working men against present eco homie conditions and governmental policies-is a ridiculous delusion.
 "The voice of Minnesota is the voice of the common people of this country constituting 90 per cent of the people who are determined to free themselves from the monopoly over their lives which had been built up over long period of years through favors for the few extorted from the government of the many
