Thursday And so much for your en-
gagement memo.
Here's some "curbstone" gossip: 1t
would seem that there is quite some
discussion regarding a tax to be
placed on the Amphitheater. Well its
rather a question-to be taxed or not
TO be taxed. Some of the city fathers
seem to think that the present Park
owners should pay their tax-even as
you and l. On the other hand there
are those-and they are many-who
believe that to tax this building would
only help its downfall, After all the
owners have not made any money or
profited in any way, and, too, its all
Mountain Lake can point to as an
asset to the community. If tax is
placed on it then the owners, if they
feel they cannot meet these taxes, will
just let it go as so many places in the
Park have gone. We do have it as a
splendid structure and one that any
group or groups are proud to give
their talent in that building.
However we are taking no sides,
only telling you what we have learned
One man came to us and remarked
chat for all Of the tax the town would
get it wouldn't be worthwhile, be-
cause after all it has not been pay
ing proposition to the new owners.
They have tried to do something and
have had a great deal donated. Well,
there is still a chance that it may
change hands, but if it should then
the chances are you, Mr.. John @.
Public would object to what it-might
be used for. AS it now stands at least
you do know the type of entertain
ment you will have it. 1t will be inter
esting to see just what is done. Our
own idea is that the cold Guards"
don't like the tax idea and they still
have some prestige, so let's watch and
see what happens,
Flash-We have just had a letter
regarding the above controversy in
which citizen suggests that a dog
tax be enforced. Also that many of
the ordinances in our town be en-
forced. There were many suggestions
offered as way and means to get
more money for the town other than
a tax on the Amphitheatre. So that's
that.
