Anticipate S1,1OO
In Tax Revenues
For Coolidge
Estimate based on towns
population and record
sales in December. Occu-
pational taxes fall due on
January 1st.

January 1st.
Coolidge's share of a record sales
tax collection in Arizona is esti-
mated at more than $1,100. 1t will
be the first time that Coolidge has
shared in the sales tax revenues and
the actual amount will be based on
the towns recently fixed popula-
tion OF $500. Two other incor-
porated towns. Florence and Casa
Grande, will participate in the al
lotment of revenues to Pinal coun-
ty.
These funds. which may be re-
ceived between January 18th and
3lst. will be the first substantial
amount TO be placed in the treasury
since the town was incorporated
last September and will give the
town council an opportunity TO pay
off some small debts and to lay the
groundwork for future projects.
BY the middle of this month rev
enues should also be coming in
from occupational taxes as pro-
yided by town ordinances 7 and s..
These taxes. based on the amount
of business expected to be done
during the first quarter OF 1916,
are due as of January l.
II is expected that the state sales
tax revenues, based on record
December business month. may
reach $1,000. 600 Such a collec-
ton. the highest In the II years
OF sales tax collection. would ex-
ceed all estimates for the current
year
Chairman d. c. O'Neil. OF the
Arizona Tax Commission, said
people had spent more during the
holidays and had paid higher prices
for commodities.
He announced that sales tax col
lected during December. on 0usi-
ness done IN November totaled
$500. 46G Ga - the largest monthly
amount TO be received. This eX-
ceeded the previous all-time high

this figure. O'Neil said. S105. 392.7S
represented luxury taxes on the
sale OF tobaccos. The remainder
was on liquor. beer and wine.
The commission is having to re-
wise it's estimates of sales tax col
lections for the fiscal year. when
ends June 80. Far from the 10 per
cent reduction which they had lore
seen records show that they are
running Is per cent greater than
the anticipated amounts.
'Tf the collections O'Neil SAID
"rup on through to the end OF the
fiscal year as they are now run
ming. but ] don't see no" 'Ae' 80
We will have $3.50. 900 more in lux
ury taxes than we planned to have
and around 81 .75O 900 more in sales
taxes"
A surplus in the state genera
fund NAV result if the increases
hold up in the next six months
O'Neil said. This surplus may pre-
vent an expected increase OF the
states real property rate. The cur
rent rate is SO cents per 800 valua-
tion.
The increased amounts in safes
taxes may meen that Coolidge ana
other municipalities will receive
greater sums from this source OF
revenue.

Mr.. Pollock's work as a play
wright consisted of two main
periods. Both contained many box
office successes which made him
comparatively wealthy.
From 1922 on his plays increas-
ingly followed the tendency to teach
lessons. The Fool THE Enemy"
"Mr. Moneypenny" and The House
Beautiful" won the greatest notice
and at times aroused controversy
in and out of the theater.
Wrote Popular Songs.
His earlier activity conceded with
the rise of Douglas Fairbanks,
Pauline Frederick, Elsie Ferguson,
Florence Reed and many other
actors and actresses, who later
achieved stage or moving picture
fame. 1t also revealed his flair for
musical comedy books and lyrics
of popular songs. He wrote the
words of MY Man," one of Fannie
Brice's best known songs.
For several years he had in mind
"a play that had been clamoring
for utterance." Unable to interest
producers in the idea for what
ultimately became one of his most
famous plays, THE Fool" he
vowed that unless I starved to
death in the meantime I would do
nothing else until I had written the
play" So he turned his talents to
the Ziegfeld Follies, he said, "to
avoid starving"

Small 0fferstoG Give Up
Most Of His Authority
On Building 10 Wyatt
By the Assoeioied Press

Civilian Production Administrator
John D. Small, in response to new
demand for deep cuts in nonhousing
construction, has offered to Hous-
ing Administrator Wilson Wyatt
full control over the bulk of such
building.
The tangle between the two big
claimants for scarce building ma
terials has been amicable enough
high officials revealed, but last night
stood at an impasse.
MIR. Wyatt, feeling that school
commercial and other building is
draining materials away from vet
erans' homes, requested Mr.. Small
by letter to cut it down further
If this is not done, he said, he would
issue q directive making cut man
datory.
Offers Staff, Authority.
Mr.. Small replied that the obvious
answer to Mr.. Wyatt's dissatisfac-
ton is for Mr.. Wyatt to take full
authority. MI. Small would retain
control only over industrial con-
struction, in line with his reconvers-
ion responsibility as head of the
Civilian Production Administration.
He offered to turn over to the
housing expediter his staff, money
and authority for the regulation of
churches, stores, Office buildings and
public works, along with housing.
Mr.. Wyatt, officials reported pri-
vately, is reluctant to take such a
big new slice of responsibility, even
though it would permit him to pass
Judgment on the various types of
construction projects and channel
materials as he believes proper.
Fears Showdown.
The housing chief, it was stated,
fears that such wholesale admin
istrative shift might slow up the
housing drive temporarily instead
OF helping it.
The two men have conferred pri-
vately, without reaching a decision,
since Mr.. Wyatt's letter was deliv-
cred to Mr.. Small last week.
The letter requested. among other
things, that CPA tighten up its en-
forcement machinery over the coun-
try to bring about better compliance
with the building controls. Mr..
