Paris Mutual System
 Hot Scheme for Gambling

The new betting laws in several states have brought into notice the French plan of betting, which for some reason not so very clear to the average mind is supposed to be mild and i'm proved manner of placing wager.
 In the first place, the management of the tracks assumes the whole re. ponsbility of receiving and paying, and no bookmakers are in the game. There are two sets of so called ma dimes, although the machinery consists simply of clerks and commuters-one for S2 bets and one for $5 bets and sseh for straight, place and show.
 Tickets are sold and handed out. When horse wins, says Bit and Spur, al the straight tickets sold are multi. piled by the number five in the $5 ma chine 10 get the total of dollars there. h the S2 division, the multiplication, of course, is by two.
 The amount of the pool obtained, the calculator at once, in the interest of the association, deducts 5 per cent for profit and expenses. The amount is then divided by the number of tickets which have been sold on what has proved to be the winner, and the pay nent for each ticket is the result.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1909-09-16

A little mathematical cogitation will give light on the next process for place and show horses, the only difference being that the division into two and three parts for distribution of the pay ments is necessary for distributing the pool money. The house keeps all frac tons as well as its , per cent and when dead heats are run the money is divided in a way which makes provision for the extra horse sharing in the first position
 Among the absurdities of the pari- mutual system is the fact if only straight tickets were sold and they all on the winner, the bettor would not win anything, but would get back his money less the percentage and the fractions. This could hardly be a possible condi. ton of race and the machine men guard against too much money coming in on prime favorite by cutting his name out of the card
 Another fact that is patent in this, as in all percentage games, is that if the play goes on long enough the persistent deduction of the per cent will event ually (and not so far distant) eat up all the money on the grounds not in the hands of the machine owners.

ATERDEPARTMENT BOOKS ASSUMING
 PERFECTION
WORK UNDER SUPERVISION or EXPERT ACCOUNTANT BAR
 RON NEAR FINISH
SYSTEM ELABORATE IN STYLE
FINANCIAL AND OTHER DETAILS OF DEPARTMENT WORKED
 OUT ACCURATELY

Within the next few days B. J. Barron will complete the new book keeping system of the city water de- partment, giving to that division of the city's business one of the most complete systems of it's kind in Globe.
 The task has been rather strenuous one, when it is considered that the ac. counts of the old Pinal Mountain Wa ter company were not kept in the most approved fashion, but out of this cha. otic condition, Barron has evolved a complete system of accounts, which will enable the officials of the water department to keep accurate tab on its accounts.
 By a card index system, every con. sumer is listed, together with the loca- ton of his house, the owner of the property and the water service rem dered.
 This same data, in a more complete form, is kept on the consumers ledger. A very complete cash book is kept in which is entered each day the water rentals paid. By the end of the month, when new bills are made out, all of the monthly accounts have been transferred 10 the consumer s ledger, enabling the bookkeeper to tell at a glance just how much every consumer in the city is indebted to the department.
 In an approved stock book is listed every item of new material purchased, This is carried out to the extent that every article purchased, no matter how small, has added to its original cost the freight charges incurred during its ship ment to Globe.
 One set of maps shows the location of every water using building in Globe, together with the owner, street number and other data.
 Another set of maps shows the loca tion of tbe service cut off to every building in the city.
 Any detail of the financial end of the water department may be learned almost at n glance, so complete is the system.
 The water department books were balanced with those of City Clerk Welch, at the close of the months of July and August agd in each case the balances were perfect.
 Barron s work will probably be com pleted by the end of the week at which time Bert Lewis, who has been acting as book keeper for some time, will probably take complete charge of the clerical work of the office.
