Ever since the horseless carIN
SACRAMENTO
By GERALD WALLACE
From Nevada City newsboy to
Mayor of California’s capital city:
such a record was set-by Tom B.
Monk. He chuckles in telling
about delivering the MinerTranscript on a route and selling
copies along Broad Street and in
the lobby of the National Hotel.
Born at Gold Flat, Tom graduated from grammar school there
in 1909. The pine trees surrounding the building then reached only
as high as the roof,
One year at Nevada Oity High
School was all that Tom could
afford. His firsfull time job was
obtained at the Cenral Consolidated Mine, where he worked two
years,
Seeking his fortune in Sacramento, he went to work for the
Southern Pacific Company on
switch engines for another two
years. Promoted to the main line,
he made runs befween Sacramento and Reno.
His.:cal break came when he
was as .gned to the Colfax Local.
The trips were at night, leaving
his daylight hours free to look:
around the business’ sections of:
Sacramento. He found an opening in a jewelry store. . 2 a
After three years, the proprietor died and young Monk saw
“an opportunity to go in business
for himself. He rented a location
at 1013 Eighth Street. He moved
uptow1 to 1009 K Street in 1946.
When he located -around the
block at 1006 J Street, the carpenter just turned the “9” upside down to read “6’’ on the door
that Tom has had now for 35
years,
You can recognize his place of
business by the large clock standing near the curb at 10th and
Jay Streets. It has on it “Tom M.
Monk Co., Jewelers.”
The firm specializes in madeto-order jewelry, such as dinner
rings. It keeps five people busy.
Tom ‘as taken an active part
in civic «ffairs. He was elected to
the City Council in.1927. He was
reelect] for the next 20 years.
He became Mayor of Sacramento
in 19°27. snd continued in. that
capacity for 10 years. His popularity. is attested by the fact
that the councilman who received
the highest popular vote is chosen
mayor.
Tom speaks proudly of Sacramento’s filtration plant, which
was installed during his term at
Tiage first made its appearance
on the Amreican Scene, the engineers and builders among us have
been hard put to it to keep our
road system just'a little bit ahead
of our ever-increasing number of
cars,
In the beginning, points out the
National Automobile Club, the
roads that the horseless carriage
had to run on were in very bad
shape indeed. Out of two million
‘miles. of roads only about 150,000
miles had been, surfaced, if you
can call sprinkling some sawdust
or oyster shells over the mud
“surfacing.” And in the whole
miles of road that was ‘eredited,
with being high type surface, or
paved with water-bound macadam.
After some years, however, the
increasing number. of people who
owned horseless carriages brought
pressure to bear on the government and in 1916 the Federal Aid
Highway Act became law. and the
government put its strong hand
to help in the job of building rural
roads, Ye .
Three years later all the states
‘had formed highway departments
and the federal government had
invite these epartments to help
in laying out a system of roads
to the building of which the federal government. was to contribute ‘oh a dollar-for-dollar basis
with the states.
After World War: I, the, War
Department turned over to, the
states some 28,000 tracks to ‘help
with the gigantic job of building
roads. And by that time the high.
way departments had really embarked on their job of improving
the highways: ;
. A new way for paying, for all
this was found, too. As late as
1916 the. townships and counties
had been paying for their roads
with a small property tax, which
the taxpayer often worked off by
swinging a shovel in front of his
own property. But gradually the

In this way he will grow up to
believe the world owes him a living.
2. When he picks up bad words,
laugh. at him. This will. make
him think he’s cute. It will also
encourage him to pick up “cuter”
phrases that will: blow off the
top of your head later.
3. Never give him any spiritual
training .Wait until he is 21 and
then let him “decide for himself.”
4. Avoid use -of the word
“wrong.” It may develop a guilt
complex. This will condition him

Power Problems
One of Nevada’s greatest deterrents to industrial development—
lack of plentiful, economic electrical power—may end soon.
At least Roy Parodi, Magma
Power Company, is convinced the
problem will be solved soon. He
Predicted low-cost electricity from
natural steam driven generators
will have a “far gredter economic
impact on Nevada than the discovery of the Comstock Lode.”
Magma is the firm which tapped the geysers area of Sonoma
County, California., for a 12,500
kilowatt turbine generator, It
will’ be sold to Pacific Gas and
Electric Company with the power
scheduled to flow into PGE’s
transmission lines beginning early
in 1960,
In Nevada, Magma’s, subsidiary, §
the Nevada Thermal Power Company, has set up drill rigs at
Steamboat Springs, Beowawe,
Brady Hot Springs, and Wabuska.
It has been rewarded, Parodi
said, with promising steam flows
in the first three. At Brady Hot
Springs, on US. Highway 40
about 45 miles east of Reno, a
newly drilled well is spewing
steam 300 feet into the air with
a@ roar which can be heard for
miles,
Promising wells also have been
completed about 10 miles south
of Reno at Steamboat Springs.
Parodia added when the network of wells across the state is
harnessed _ to generators, the total
electrical energy produced may
exceed that of Hoover Dam, all
of which already has been com-,
mitted.
The San Francisco counties
have long been recognized as fine
West Coast’s leading radio and
television news analysts, -has been
appointed California Heart Fund
chairman for 1960.
The annual drive for funds to
support heart research, community S€rvices and public education
will be conducted in California
and throughout the nation during February, culminating in
Heart Sunday, February 28.
For the third successive year,
Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower and
Dr. Paul Dudley White will serve
as honorary chairman, and cochairman, respectively, of the
1960 national Heart Fund drive,
it was arimounced by California
Heart Association President Maurice Eliaser, M.D., of San Francisco.
Mr. Winfer, who was: admitted
to the bar‘at the age of 20—then
the youngest attorney in the nation—gave up the law for a radio
career and joined the OBS staff
in San Francisco in 1941, °
The victim of a heart attack,
he recently co-authored a book
on heart disease with his physician, describing his recovery,
which resulted in almost complete resumption of his strenuous
. activities, including radio
and. television shows ge Fy he
orginates either from San Francisco or Hollywood.
“There isn’t a more worthwhile cause to support than the
Heart Fund,” he said. “I predict
that all Californians will join in
making the February drive in
our state the biggest in the nation.
