AT THE CAPITOL

Today is the last showing at the Capitol of show Boat" as the en- tire program will change on We'd nesday for three days and will bring a double feature show. Ken May nard will be seen in a different type of western story when "The Wagon Master" the first dialogue western comes 10 the Capitol theater Wed nesday for three days.
 ''The Wagon Master" Maynard's s first picture under his new long, term contract with Universal. pays tribute to bold and daring type of men whose services have received little attention. These are the wagon freighters. who carried supplies to isolated mining camps and army posts in the days of the pioneer west.
 "The Wagon Master" is repletc with thrills. With the aid of his famous horse "Tarzan' Maynard performs riding stunts of the dar- ing brand that have placed him in the forefront of the ranks of West crn stars. The long wagon trains give a colorful atmosphere to the picture, and there is no lack of TO- mantle interest. Stirring dialogue scenes and the rendition of cow boy songs add greatly to the pie ture.
 The co-fcature will present Ted

PERSONAL TAXLIST
 DECLINE EF0RESEEN
Registrars Expect to Report
 Fewer Than Last Year

For the first time in many years, the personal tax enumeration this year will show reduction, the extent of which will be made known December S1. when Registrars Thomas J. Smith and William J.. Ziegler file their report with Mayor Paonessa.
 This condition, the registrars say, is traceable to the removable from the city of many families who were included in last years canvass. Va cant tenements in large numbers give the enumerators assurance that total will fall several hundred names below that of 1928, when 35,S7S were listed as liable to personal tax payments. On Hurlburt street. one of the city's short thorough fares, Messrs. Smith and Ziegler found F tenements vacant, and at North street and Hartford avenue, they found but two of 12 apartments oc- cupied. Similar conditions were found elsewhere, they report.
 Until this year, the enumeration has showed an annual increase ranging between 200 and 500 names.
