Ringling Bros.
Coming to Norfolk
The largest herd of performing
elephants ever assembled is fea
tured with scores of beautiful and
thrilling attractions in the new
1955 edition of Ringling Bros and
Barnum & Bailey Circus.
The greatest show on earth
will appear in its magnificent en
tirety at Norfolk on Monday, Au
gust 8.
Nearly two hundred tons of
° elephants participate in the
magnifidant spectacle “Mama’ll
in the Park”, a charming fantasy
in which bonnetted monsters
wheel trumpeting offspring in
gigantic baby carriages.
To stage this massive produc
tion, John Ringling North im
ported 20 new baby elephants
from India and added to his al
ready vast adult herd.
“Holiday", most glittering of
the extravaganzas created for
the new show, presents a glorious
kaleidoscope of colors, cos turnery
and lavish floats. Hundreds of
human and animal artists par
ticipate in this pageant dedica
ted to the festive days on the
American calendar.
The aerial ballet this year fea
tures bevies of sultry beauties
revelling on high in a romantic
° aura of Soth Pacific charm.
The stirring patriotic finals,
entitled “Rainbow 'Round the
World”, brings a final burst of
color and beauty to the latest en
tertainment triumph of John
Ringling North.
In addition to producing the
four enchanting spectacles, Mr.
North composed all of the music
for them.
Performances are held at 2:15
and 8:15 p.m., with doors opened
at 1 and 7 pm.

State Tax Levy
Highest Since ’20
The state tax levy for 1955 will
be 8.18 mills consisting of 6.33
mills for the general fund and
1.85 mills for special levies auth
orized by the legislature, the
state board of equalization de
cided Tuesday.
It is the highest total levy
since 1920 when a constitutional
convention changed methods of
assessment. The general fund
levy is the highest since 1904,
the earliest figures given in the
tax commissioner’s report.
There has been a gradual in
crease in levies since the legis
lature in 1953 passed a law pro
viding that assessed value of
property should be 50 percent of
actual value, the method for
merly used.
The 1.49 mill increase from the
6.69 mill levy last year is an in
crease of approximately 20 per
cent. Thus taxpayers will pay a
total state tax of $8.18 per thou
sand dollars of assessed valua
tion.
The levy was obtained so as to
raise $30,864,178 for the general
fund. The state board of equal
ization estimated that cash in
come to the fund will be $12,141,
788 leaving $19,284,061 plus a
three percent cushion of $561,613
required by law to be raised by
taxes. ,
The increased levy comes as a
result of increased appropriations
by the legislature. The total state
valuation was approximately the
same as last year. It was $6,092
910,339 or about 12,000,000 larger
than last year, when “Operation
Honesty” was carried on in an
effort to get better assessments.
Leading sources of estimated
cash income were: motor vehicle
driver’s licenses, $1,399,000; liq
uor tax, $3,875,00; cigarette tax,
$2,825,000; head tax, $818,00 in
terest of bonds, $275,000; secre
tary of state, $330,000.
