Few Declines Since 1901. Very few declines In tax levies In tlie county have been noted since 1901, out the Increase has been much nreafter In the past few years. The year 1913 marked the highest point the county had until 1918, and a sharp Uecllne was made the following year, due In part to change in the state's lethod of computing the taxes. This drop was only temporary, and the Increase has been steady ever elnce. The city's loss of municipal revenues m c,M,rra other thftn tftTAtiOTl and the European war were important Items which helped to start an up ward tendency. By 1917 the levy Was again practically up to what it was In 1913. Assessor Welch has already hecun the extension of the tax roll. When completed the roll will be delivered to Sheriff Hurlburt for collection, which usually Is about February 1.

The difference between the county valuation for purposes of state and county taxation is accounted for by the fact that under a constitutional amendment adopted In 1916 certain classes of vessels are assessed for state taxes only, and are exempt from ah other taxes.

ELODMAMA packed with grlp- tuatlons Is the basis for New Tork Sleeps." at the Columbia. The picture Is made up of three separate stories of dra matlc Incidents In the New Tork life. These three plots are the kind that O. Henry found in his Intimate stu dies of America's metropolis. The fact that the three plays within a play are excellently presented by the same talented cast furnishes an Interesting study. Each player Is seen in three distinct roles, and each de serves great praise for so successfully handling this difficult work. The first story Is laid In a fashion able suburban home. A pretty wife is nappy in me love oi nor nusuanu and baby, when out of the past comes a man who threatens to destroy her happiness. In a big dramatic scene her quick wit saves her home from his evil Influence. The second play shows the life of the Gay White Way, and a baffling plot holds the interest of the audi ence to the very end. The characters ar familiar types in the feverish swirl of Broadway and are well drawn. Scenes for this portion of the picture were taken In Zlegfeld's Mid night Frolic show. The final episode shifts to the squalid setting of New York's east side district. The outstanding fea tures are Marc MacDermott's remark able portrayal of a paralytic and a thrilling revolver duel between har bor police and a gang of thieves. A contrast to the drama of the feature at the Columbia is presented by a rollicking comedy of the "Toon erville Trolley" series. The Columbia picture players furnish a musical ac companiment for the programme that contributes much to Its appeal. Screen Gossip. C. S.
