BILL TO ABOLISH CITY
TAX BAORD OF NEW

New York City—(GNS,—A bill to
abolih the New York City Board of
Taxes and Assessments, transferring
its functions to a single commissioner,

‘THEY SHALL NOT DIE’
TO CONTINUE IN N Y
New York—(CNS)— They Shall
Not Die,” the Scottsboro case drama,

urday night will continue at the Roy

Opportunity Knocks
How would this strike you as an in
vestment opportunity ?
You are given a chance to turn a
certain part of your monthly or an
nual earnings over to a group of fi
nancial experts- A contract is drawn
whereby you “buy” a definite sum
on the easy payment plan. They will
take your payments and invest them'
in govement bonds, ' in the best in
dustrial securities, in first mortgag
es on good rural and urban property.
Their total investment, made up by
hundreds of thousasds of small pay
ments such a yours, embraces the
whole sweep of sound American
business and productive enterprise.
Stringent laws, passed for your pro
tection, regulate the tpye of invest
ments that cam be imade
In order to assure you the ultimate
in safety, the concern you turn your
mosey over to has gigantic cash re
serves, built up over many years, to
stand behind your comparatively
small investment
This isn’t all by any means. If you
die, even though that should happen
afte you have made but one pay
ment, the full amount you have con
tracted for will be paid to your hears
After a few yeas, you may borrow
against your investment if need be—
or you may drop further payments
and receive a cash settlement, in case
of dire necessity.
That sounds too Utopian to be true
But it is true—and the institution of
fering you that is life insurance,
which has survived these recent years
of black depression with colors fly
