If the Municipal Committee is authorized

You will also realize that the last budget

able TO pay our bills. and hope that this
will not be referred TO in the future az q

government is one where all authority is
vested Ia a small group. We are getting
away from democracy. but it must not

Colonial Council Bill No. 26 increases the
United States contribution ia the budget
from $40. GOO. 90 TO $95. 10000. The idea
behind that is this: The Council has NOT
got the money as yet. but there 10 like
hhood that the United States Congress
Will grant the money. and when it is
granted It must be used before June 80,
II not It will revert to the United States
treasury. But instead of that we are
putting the money into a reserve fund.

were discussed 10 the Municipal Commit

US. there are certain items that are con-
tanned In the bill that must have definire
action by the Colonial Council: for
instance. 90 passenger carrying automo-
bills can be bought without the sanction
OF the Colonial CounciI. We are now
asking TO delete items a, b, c, d, and e,
put money into reserve fund and Les

STATE

Performances this evening mark your last opportunity to see the mu- sical comedy hit of the year, Col leen" starring Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, Joan Blondell, Jack Oakie and the new wizard of the dance, Paul Draper, who has been proving the sensation of the picture. It's now at Warner Brothers State the- ater on Q program with "The Case Of The Missing Man" starring Rog- CT Pryoy and Joan Perry.
 Tomorrow brings an all new show to be headlined by Carole Lombard in Universal's new brilliant sophs- ticated comedy Love Before A Breakfast"
 The picture reveals her as mod ern young lady who demands the right to her own opinions. even whe nthey include the desire to marry two young men.
 The fun begins when one of her suitors gives her Q black eye accidentally. From that point, every time he tries to win her favor, he does something else which stirs her wrath more. Her spoken lines snap like whip, cracking like static in Q lightning storm.
 The smart dialogue in Love Before Breakfast" grows naturally from the humorous situations. The climax of the laughs is heightened by the happenings during 8 storm at sea. Carole is "she who gets slapped" - when several life-sized waves smacked her into the middle of next week. She gets her man and then he gets "hail, Columbia" from his gem of the ocean.
 Special Notet To The Ladiesl Wait until you see the gorgeous new fash- ions Carole wears in this picture.
