Motor Cars Were
Refuge in Florida

Out of the storm wracked Florida
region many stories have come OF
the stamina of men and women and
the stamina of buildings and homes
how they stood the strain and
fury of the elements.
From Fulford, Florida comes the
story of how two motor cars served
as a haven of refuge for family that
had to take to the out-of doors after
the roof had been blown off their
home. Parked in their cars, the
family of L. P. Zimmerman ex-
perienced all the sensations, for
seven hours, of rocking In these cars
as though they were actually being
driven at high speed over rough
roads, though the motor cars, with
only emergency brakes on were driv-
en- along by the hurricane only five
feet.
The story as related by Mr. Zim-
norman is a graphic eye-picture of
one family's experience:
1.-THE night of the storm, fearing
falling trees, L parked the two ears
in the street. 1t was well the pre-
caution was taken for now an 18-

hours, rocking as though we were

speed; wondering at each gust if we

TAX SUPPORTED BANDS NOW
LEGAL IN MARYLAND

Taxation in support of Municipal
bands and orchestras is now legal in
twenty-six out of the 48 states in
the Union, it is shown in survey
concluded by the Conn Music Cen
ter, Elkhart, Ind. Maryland is
among the states that have passed
this sort of legislation.
Movements for similar legislation
are now under way in Arizona,
Florida, Idaho, Kentucky and New
Mexico. Iowa was the first state to
pass legislation providing for the
ing largely due to the influence of
Major George w. Landers, of
Clarinda, Iowa, whose effort in
behalf of this measure in his own
and other states has brought him
the title, Father of Band Tax
Laws
The law in Iowa, as in majority
If the other states which have
band tax law, provides that cities
may levy a tax for the purpose of
tablishing and maintaining NUM-
3ipal bands, or for paying some
existing band to furnish concerts.
This tax can be levied only after it
has been authorized by vote of the
mitted for vote upon petition of
certain per cent of the qualified
voters of the city or town. PRO
vision is made for repeal of the tax
in similar fashion.
The most common alternative to
the band tax law is provision
whereby a municipality may ap-
propriate funds for bands or band
concerts without any special tax for
that purpose. This is the method
Used in Indiana, whereby any NUM-
;ipality may appropriate through its
common council any sum not to ex-
iced $1,000 per year to be used in
providing public concerts In few
have no band tax laws have never
theless appropriated funds for the
purpose of providing free concerts
for their citizens. The theory
which permits action of this kind
is that such appropriations are
legitimate since there is no law
against them. Ell
"The important virtue of band
tax law is that \ it distributes the
expense evenly and impa3tially->
enjoys the music and everyone pays
his share" says Major Landers.
1.-THE large number of contributors
makes the cost of each one ex-
ceedingly small. In Long Beach,
California, for instance, they have
band concerts every day ubt Mon
day, except for two weeks vaca-
lion in the spring, and it costs the
citizens, even with unusually large
number of performances, only about
IS cents per year. In Clarinda,
Iowa, the cost is about IS cents per
capita, which expenditure pays for
about fifty public concerts presented
throughout the year.
