Ceilings Artistic
The ceiling of the main bank-

effect of hewed oak beams the de
corating being overlaid in rich
colors of red blue and gold.
The decorative scheme will be
pure Romanesque in design and

made a tip east for the purpose
of getting ideas in connection with
same.
The ceiling cojor will closely ap

York City, which is the- latest and
most ibeautifully designed bank

and approximately eight feet high.
These chandeliers each have 24

whatsoever in the matter of vault
work. The main vaults are re

and of an approximate overall
thickness of 26 inches and weigh

; of Consolidation
The MitzWSray Beauty Shoppe
is one business which, in engaging
rooms on the seventh floor of the

Tax Body
The total amount bf money that
will be required to conduct all
state functions during 19Z7, as
estimated by the state tax com
mission at the time of making
next year's tax levy here yester
day, is $7,447,561.80. This amount
does not include any appropria
tions that may be authorized by
the 1927 legislature outside of thejL.
estimates of the tax commission. 1
Although the apparent demands 1
of the state for 1927 within the
six per cent limitation amendment
aggregated $3,093,575.42, the
commission was limited to levyin
state tax of $2,160,737.62,
which would leave an estimated
deficit on December 31, 1927, of
approximately $932,838.37. The
tax levied by the commission for
the year 1927 is six per cent inliatioa and has been in existence
excess of that levied a year ago.
Revenues from the millage taxes
which are-outside of the six per I
cent limitation amendment were J
estimated for the year 1927 at 1

Receipts for the year 1927 were I

mission at $1,650,000. Items in-
eluded in the receipts follow:

posits $50,000, corporation depart
ment $360,000, taxes, en inherit
ances! $427,300 and insurance de
partment $725,000.
Members of the state tax com
mission agreed that while a deficit
of $9j32;838.37 apparently would
exist ion December 31, 1927, this
amount might be reduced materi
ally through' increased receipts or
be increased through legislative
appropriations not included in the
estimates of the tax commission.'
It was pointed out by members
of the commission that had the
tobacco tax bill and other revenue
measures passed at the 1925 ses
sion of the legislature been sus
tained! by the voters, the" deficit
for 1927 would have been wiped
out, and there would have re
mained in the treasury a substan
tial 8urpius to meet future de
mands of the Mate government.
