~precariously narrow. officials anxi-
ously awaited a tabulation Of the

paid on Marc Is was a little more
than six hundred million dollars, q
sum that must be equalled today If

However. the collapse Of the stock
market late in the year and the flat
reduction Of one per cent in the
rate OF taxation were regarded as
the sources Of radically lessened re-

the optimistic view that the lessen

Especial to The Herald.l

EDINBURG, March i5.-A meet
fng OF the Edinburg unit Of the
Fidalgo Count Good Government
League is to be held Saturday even
ing at the home of Lee Bair. north
cast Of the courthouse. The purpose
Of the meeting is TO hear a report
CT the executive committee of the
League on plans for the entry OF
a league school ticket in the field.
and to organize the Edinburg unit
for the coming year. The meeting
will deal primarily with the polite
al and business problems OF the
League. but a program will also be
rendered for the entertainment OF
the crowd which is expected TO at
tend.
A petition addressed to the board
of trustees Of the Edinburg Con-
solidated Independent school dis
trict asks that the following names
be placed on the official ballot as
candidates for trustees at the cleo
ion TO be held April 5, 1880: A. G..
Norris. Ed. A. Brown. II. G. Alder
hold. and II. z. Jewell. and II is
generally understood that these
men have the approval OF the
leaders OF both political factions,
without consideration OF their poll
teal affiliations. These four men
hare been petitioned TO make the
race.
Candidates Consent
One of the petitioners stated that
he believed the men qualified in
every respect TO hold the offices for
which they have been named, and
1t was reported they had all con-
sented TO do 50, though this has not
been verified.
A. O. Norris is a contractor and
builder, Of Edinburg. and also en-
gagged in citrus growing. Ed. A.
Brown Is president Of the local
chamber OF commerce and engaged
in the automobile business, and H.
E. Jewell Is head Of the Jewell
Lumber Company and prominent in
business and social circles OF the
city. H. c. Aderhold is engaged in
the citrus business, residing near
Edinburg. Mr.. Morris and Mr.. Adler
hold are actively affiliated with the
Good Government League and the
latter was a candidate for school
trustee In 1929 on the League ticket
but was defeated. -Four trustees will
be elected this year. and those to
be retained are John BOX, L. z.
Tinker and Jose Guerra.
To Cut Expenses
There was much antagonism dis
played at the last election by
League members against the "ad-
ministration" candidates. and the
defeat Of the League ticket was re-
garded as a blow to the plans Of
the League to cut the expense OF
operation Of the schools in the dis
trict, aS well as TO make what the
League charged were much needed
improvements. II is believed that
Mr.. Jewell and Mr.. Brown will poll
many votes from both local political
factions, and they we're evidently
chosen with this idea in view. Mel
Their has been actively affiliated
with either political group. The four
trustees 70 be elected this spring
viii constitute a majority Of the
school board. and the nomination
Of the above mentioned men Is a
result of careful elaboration by
leaders in the community with the
object OF securing the best possible
management for the affairs Of the
school district and especially cur
failing expense which. IL has been
charged. is exhorbitant.

''Your Uncle Dudley Proves
Real Hit at National

Just about one of the cleverest
comedies yet to be presented dur
ing this seasons sojourn Of the
National Theater Players appears
an eminently fair after-midnight
appraisal of "Your Uncle Dud-
ley" this weeks offering at
Washington'S sole-surviving house
of the legitimate drama. No
member of the audience that
braved last nights temperature
could possibly have felt that the
evening was other than wellSpent.
The names Of Howard Lindsay
and Bertrand Robinson, appended
to the program as authors OF
this effort, are .strangly unfa-
miliar to your reviewer. yet they
have fabricated an offering that
Is refreshinely delightful.
It's all about an ambitious
mother who wants to find q
career on the. operatic stage for
her flapper daughter who really
wants q husband instead Of fame;
of the mothers brother who finds
himself prosecuted by his sister
in his own house and Of q
crochety old grandmother-just
like old Grandma Bett-whom
you'll secretly love.

Roxy In Plan

8. F. Rothafel, alias Roxy, has
become party to the plan. Otners
emperors of entertainment are
coming in also. Their ideas are
more than architectural; they are
. portent of what the film-radlo
era Of the future is going TO oe
like.
Four theaters are to be erected
on the circumference Of a great
plaza fronting on Fifth Avenue.
They will house vaudeville, legltl-
mate shows, concerts, and motion
pictures, with one devoted en-
tirely to television acts-the f1rSt
In the world to be so designed.
The General Electric Company
with its subsidiaries, the NB.C.
and RK-O, are giving Mr.. Rookie
feller major support in the pro
ject, a portion of which originated
in the fertile brain Of Roxy, who
is credited with having been the
real factor in influencing Mr..
Rockefeller to make his center

volved in the venture. There will
be three skyscrapers to form the
central buildings Of a group. The
first of these will be so stories IN
height; the others viii be its
bowers on either side. There
will be several other structures
of a monumental type to be built.
It is said that Roxy's new house
will seat not less than $500 per
sons, an increase Of nearly 1900
over the present great talkie
temple which bears his name.
Here is a project already in
the blueprint stage which shows
what mighty strides are being
made towards a concentration OF
artistic and scientific resources to
raise theatrical amusement to a
new plane-new, that is, in the
sense of Welding it into national
ensemble of talent which will be
at the command Of all Of us.

have the interior walls faced with granite
