SOLOMON FAVORS Low LEVY
Opposes Transfer from Bridge and Road to
General Fund.
WANTS TO UTILIZE OLD YEAR BALANCES
County Treasurer and other Mem
hers of the BOARD of Com
misisOners Take Issue
with solomon.

County Commissioner Solomon has de-
clared himself against the proposed trans
fer of about $4,000 from the county bridge
and road funds to the general fund, and is
in favor of cutting down the levy for this
year in these funds, utilizing the balance
now in the funds on next years expend-
lures. He stated his position before the
board Monday at an informal discussion of
the levy.
Mr. Solomon has figured that the average
expenditure for bridge work each year for
the last Ave years was Sl,sf7.72. The levy
of 21k mills for the bridge fund last year
produced S4,53l0S. about $4,000 more than
the average expenditure for five years. A
2-mill levy this year, under the increased
valuation OF property will raise $6l,14S74.
or about $4,000 more than the average re-
quired each year. A levy of III mills would
produce S46,s6l.55, or more than enough to
pay the average expenditures from the
fund.
Furthermore, he points out there is now
about $4,000 in the bridge fund, and this
would be almost sufficient without any new
levy at all TO provide for the years bridge
work II the proposed transfer is not made.
Record for Five Years.
The average annual expenditure from the
road fund for the last five years was
S55Oz5.12. The levy OF "a mills last year
produced for the county S42,76S.1O. A 2-mill
levy this year would produce as the
county's share OF the fund this year
tS5. .0Ol.l0. which would be. approximately,
the average expenditure for the last Ave
years. Besides this, there is a balance Of
$4,000 now in the fund. which it is pro-
posed to transfer TO the general fund. If
it is not transferred, he points out, II
would reduce the levy so much.
Mr.. Solomon takes the position the road
fund should be used for road purposes ex-
clusively. He says there are contracts now
for about $4,000 worth OF work. which
should be paid for in cash when completed.
Leaving the funds as they now are, he
asserts the levy could be reduced at least
mills, He declares he is opposed to
making large levies in these funds for the
purpose OF transferring to the general
fund. and he holds that these excessive
levies are iilegat lie charges that In
1905 the levy In the road fund was made
large In order that $4,000 might be trans
ferred 10 the general fund.

The GearIess Clock.

c. II. Brgden, a Los Angeles watch
maker, has invented the first timepiece
ever made to run and to keep time with a
single wheel, and the wheel is not a gear
wheel but only a perforated disk so that
the clock might be called a gearless clock.
A quarter-inch steel ball rolling on two
inclined plates takes the place Of pendulum
and gearing. This steel ball rolls over
the two inclined plates in just a minute
and rolls off the lower plate into the lower
hole Of the disk, at the same time releasing
the disk, which is always under tension
impaired to it by two ball weights sus-
pended in towers.
The disk carries thirty balls on one side
and when released by the rolling Of the
ball from the lower plates against lock-
ing device, the disk turns the space Of one
hole, or one minute, and brings the upper
most ball into position TO roll on the tor
plate and begin its zigzag course down the
two inclined plates as did the preceding
ball Each ball rolls over the plates once
every thirty minutes.-Pacifc outlook.
