RubinoH Due Here
Monday, October Is

Some of Americas largest cities
have turned out record-breaking
audiences to welcome Rubinoff,
world-famous radio and concert
artist, and his famous 100000
Stradivarius violin. One record
breaking audience, thrilled by
Rubinoff and his Violin, was in
Chicago's famous Grant Park
several years ago, when more than
100000 gathered to hear him play.
However, this great crowd re-
sponded one year later 225,000
strong, at which time the great
artist was presented with a be-
jeweled medal inscribed, Present
ed to RUBINOFF AND HIS
VIOLIN by the Chicago Fedora
tion of Musicians. The presenta-
ton was made in appreciation for
services rendered in Grant Park.
The attendance was recorded as a
world record attendance.
Because of the great popularity
of this artist reservations for this
concert should be made at once to
avoid standing room only, as it
is not unusual for Rubinoff to play
to packed houses.
Tickets for the Rubinoff Concert
are now available from any Ro-
tartan, Band or Chorus Member.
You may call for reservations as
the preferred seats will be dis
tributed in the first come first

School Taxes
Keep Kent
Collectors In
Constant Rush
Tom Robbins Turned
Over $51O,192.O6 To
The State Treasurer
From Ia School Dis
tricts.

Kent County's receiver of taxes
collects more money for school
districts than he does for the coun-
ty, a check of collections for the
July 1, 1860 to June 80, 1862 year
reveals.
During this collection year Tom
H. Robbins, collector of taxes and
county treasurer, turned over
$51O,192.06 to the state treasurer
as real estate taxes from IA school
districts.
In the same period the county
receipts from its 50-cent real
estate tax amounted to $48S,962.61.
But the county tax office did
even more for the schools. 1t took
in $177,19O95 in school district
capitation taxes. plus $12,765 on
the SIS per trailer tax which is
levied for schools.
At the same time the county
capitation rate of SLIPS brought in
24,433.03.
This work is carried out for the
school districts at no charge to
them, said Robbins. The amount
collected has steadily grown in re-
cent years, he said. Until recently,
he added, county tax collections
far exceeded school receipts.
Although Kent County is dotted
with trailer courts the collection
figure of $12,765 doesn't reflect
the number of trailers because
many are occupied by servicemen.
Since trailers are considered per-
sonal property, not real estate,
military personal are exempt from
paying taxes on them.
The county real estate and capi-
tation taxes will pay the bulk of
the S714,661 budget on W h h
Kent County is currently operat-
ing.
Candidates for Levy Court are
discussing pros and cons of
general reassessment of Kent by
an outside firm. a sten which pros
ponents say would increase t X
revenue by putting all property on
an equitable assessment basis.
