Proper street Improvement.

Sacramento Evening Bee, June 27th.1
The Bee has criticised the manner in
which macadam has been laid in Sacra-
mentC, and the useless waste of the
money of property owners that has en-
sued simply because the city authorities
were either too careless or else TOO igno-
rant of the requisites of good road con-
struction 10 properly draw the speci flea
tions and see that they are complied with.
The LABOR and material under the exist
ing system has cost just rs much as
though the best results had been OBJ
tanned simply because Of the errors re-
ferred TO.
The REC0RD-UNION this morning has
an excellent article on the subject, in
dIcating on the part of the writer most
intimate acquaintance with the technical
details of good road construction. The
nroperty-oWners on X street who are
about TO eXpeud money for niacada mizing
that street should see that the specitlca-
tions about 10 he issued from the City
Engineers Department comply with the
rec uisiteS mentioned by the RECORD-
UNION. In fact these property y-owners
and the City trustees could do no better
than TO have these specifications passed
on by the writer of that article.
Sacramento prOperty-owners have
spent enough money on the streets to
have good permanent rOadwayS through
out. and Intelligence and experience
should control future expenditures and
prevent further waste. If the city au-
thorities do not understand the princi- =
ples of road building it Is proper they
should learn them ana carry them into
practice.

A second customer comes in to deposit
$50 %. His passbook is placed on the
slide and the proper keys pushed down.
At once the figures so % appear at the
aperture in the face OF the box, whlle at
the top one the figures are $40 70, show
ing the total of the two deposits: A turn
OF the crank and the record of the second
transaction is complete. And so 1t goes
all day, the top opening in the box show
ing the total deposits as they increase.
DEPosIToR CAN SEE 1T.
The machine is so situated at the tell
er's window that the depositOr can have
plain view of the figures in the face OF
the box, and thus see tor himself that the
amount of his deposit is correctly re-
corded. At the end OF the day the cash
in the receiving teller's cage snould
tally exactly with the amount registered
at the aperture in the top of the box.
There can be no changing of figures or
turning back of wheels. The mechanism
is such that this is impossible. Inc
crank can only be turned one way, ana
only a certain distance at a time. If the
money key should be pressed by mis-
TAX the fact would at once show IN the
opening in the front side OF the Dox
The teller is not allowed to make any
entry or mark in the passbook, his sole
duty being to place the money handeu
him in a receptacle and work the ma
chine.
With a machine at both receiving and
paying tellers' windows IN a bank the

which the officers car tell at any hour

keepers is rendered by this machine i'm

extend the tape in both machines to the
Presidents office, so that the tellers' win
Gows would be practically under the
Presidents eye all the time
With the Ologautotype the oper-
alton of receiving customers deposit
and recording it is quicker than the pro-
cess now in vogue. Errors, if there are
any, are detected when made. The ma
chimes work is absolutely correct, and
the cash receipts and disbursements must
tally every night.
In printing the amount of the deposit
IN the pass book the machine is as perfect
IN It's alignment as a typewriter, and not
only prints in non -erasable ink, but also
makes an indentatiOn in the paper that IS
proof against alteration.
Mr. Allen, the inventor of the machine,
has patented it in all its parts, both in
this country and abroad. He feels that
there will be q general demand for it

A WOODLAND SENSATION

Case Goes to Trial.

1t VIII Be such IL the Lowe Divorce
Case Goes to Trial.
There is prospect of Woodland soon
being in the throes of the most sensa-
tional divorce suit that ever distur bed
society in Yolo County.
Not long since Mr.. and Mrs. Obe Lowe,
who were prominent people over there,
had a falling out. Mrs. Lowe accused
her husband of outrageous conduct, and
he in turn made charges against her.
Without going so far as TO preclpltate a
divorce suit, they agreed to separate,
Mrs. Lowe promising TO leave the State.
4 story comes from Woodland TO the
effect that Lowe brought his wife here
and put her aboard train for the East
without allowing her to see her child.
After being one month in the East she
heard that he had Instituted a suit tor
divorce, so she fastened back.
Night before last Mrs. Lowe arrived
here, where she was met by her husband,
and council of war was held at W hich
General A. l.. Hart. loves counsel, was
present. An attempt was made to patch
up the trouble OF the pair, bnt Mrs. Lowe
was not satisfied with the terms. She
then retained Congressman Grove l..
johnson as her counsel, and declared her
intention of fighting her husbands suit
for divorce to the bitter end.
She went to Woodland yesterday and
is stopping at a prominent hotel there.
II is said by those competent to know
that if the case ever comes to trial a SEN
sational scandal will be precipitated.

The accounts of Ainsworth r. Spot
ford, for thirty years librarian of Con-
gress, have for some months submitted
to expert accountants and it is reported
that discrepancies aggregating S22 900
appear against him. His explanation is
that the admitted confusion of his ac-
counts has been caused by having had
more work thrust upon him as librarian
and register of copyrights than he could
do and that he is ready to make good
the ascertained deficit. Mr.. Spofford
has held the responsible place to the
eminent satisfaction of all who have
had business with his Office and most
people are disposed to concede to him
honesty of purpose. He is not a good
business man. Literary men are liable
to be poor accountants. We are not
prepared to believe there is dishonesty
on the part of Mr.. Spoiford. Some peo-
pie believe public officials dishonest
against evidence to the contrary, but we
hold that they are very much like other
people and entitled to the presumption
of innocence.
