WE HAVE OUR MOMENTS NOW
 AT CAPITOL
Sally Eilers, Jam es Dunn Star in Comedy To-
 night, Tomorrow

Sally Eilers and James Dunn, one of the screens popular combina- tions, have teamed together again in sparkling comedy drama, Uni- versal's We Have Our Moments, 9 which opens today at the Capitol Theatre.
 The story concerns a girl who becomes tired of being a school teacher in a small town. She leaves for Europe for one grand good lime before she settles down to what premises to be Q dull mar riage. She finds herself involved in an adventure that is as exciting as it is humorous. A group of slick -cbbers make her the unwilling means through which they smuggle money into Europe. She finds her self facing long years in prison.
 Treated in a light vein, devel- oped with humorous situations and keen dialogue, the picture has been photographed against the gaiety and glamor of a Atlantic luxury liner and adventurous, TO- mantle Monte Carlo. The cast in- cludes such talent as Mischa Auer, of My Man Godfrey Three Smart Girls" and "The Gay Des- perado' fame; David Niven, War ren Hymer, Marjorie Gateson, Thurston Hall, Virginia Sale Frank lyn Pangborn and Grady Sutton.
 It was directed by Alfred Wer- ker, the man who made such suc- cesses as "The House of Roth Schild."

UTILITIES VOTE
 IS ANALYzED
 BY W. S.PULLEN
Small Vote, Even If Con- elusive, Would Fail to Es-
 tablish Public Ownership
Continued from Page One)

not mean 6595 of the voters, but of the taxpayers only.
 "The vote at yesterdays election on this question was 799 yes and A no, of a total of 1855 votes cast, so that even if the matter of bonding the city required only two thirds majority of the voters, it failed for not even two thirds of all voters voted in favor of municipal owner ship. What the result would be if the matter were submitted to tax payers only, with a requirement of 659c of all taxpayers, can easily be foreseen
 "There were 332 voters who voted at the municipal election yesterday who did not vote on the question of public ownership. Adding that 332 to the 414 who voted no, we have TAG, so that there was not nearly 65% of all voters who voted in the affirmative yesterday.
 lIie AldSkd GlCtJllC 1lBllJ G Power Company has done business in Juneau for many years, and we have tried to keep abreast of the times and give the best service pos sible at low rates, which will com pare favorably with any other city in the world where the same con- ditions exist. In the face of increas- ing costs of labor and material and increased costs of obtaining power, and increased taxes, we have not asked for any increase in rates for sixteen years, and we hope to con- tinue doing business with the people of Juneau and vicinity, giving them the same dependable service at low est possible rates for many years to come, or, in any event, until we are overtaken by ever-increasing federal territorial and municipal taxes, which now amount to over 389oof our operating profit"

COUNTY TAX VALUES
LIKELY TO DECLINE
Loss of Intangibles May Be
Costly; IL IL Millions
Guessed

Vance county tax values are expect
ed to decline possibly as much as half
a million dollars this year as the re-
suit of the elimination of intangibies
from local taxation, being taken over
by the State under the revenue act
of 1887, it was learned today.
One guess as to the probable valua-
ton for the county put the figure at
II IL million dollars. This would be
half million dollars or more under
the total in 1887.
While there may be slight gains i'll
the realty valuations here and there,
this is expected to be more than offset
by the loss of intangibles.
Revenue of the county would be af.
fected to the extent of the decline
in values. Reduction in the outstanG-
ing bonded debt Of the county by the
purchase of around $4,000 of unma-
tured obligations, mostly through the
use of profits from the county's liquor
store, will cut the requirements for
debt service and to that extent will
lower the actual cash requirements for
meeting fiscal obligations during the
coming year
No statistics were available for the
city's tax set-up for the coming year.
Neither the county nor the city has
completed compilations as to 1888
valuations, although listing has been
finished, except for those allowed to
list, for several weeks. Henderson
township figures have not been COM
piled for the county, and that is the
largest township in the county as to
tax valuations.
