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.

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 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.
