Ruling Frees 100000 For
State Roads

Attorney General Herbert K.
O'Conor, in a clarifying opinion" is
sued to State Comptroller William S.
Gordy, Jr., held that approximately
100000 of about 100000 in gasoline
tax surplus revenue can be released
by Gordy for immediate expenditure.
Gordy, in receipt of an earlier rul-
ing from O'Conor relative to release
of certain of the surplus funds, for
use by the state roads commission, de-
clined to allot the funds pending clari-
fication of certain sections of the rul-
ing.
Mondays opinion by the attorney
general held definitely that any sur
plus from. the two-cent tax on gaso-
line "can lawfully be expended at any
time during the present bienium.
William A. Codd, auditor for the
state roads commission, has estimated
the surplus from this tax at, roughly,
100000. The money is authorized,
by law, for road construction.
Any surplus from the cent and the
one and half cent gas taxes, how
ever, must await future legislative
action" the ruling asserted.

IN MEMORIAM

In sad but loving remembrance of
my dear son, James William Blocher,
who passed away October 26, 1896:
A loved one who left us all
Just forty-one years today;
Those years have glided swiftly on
But the memory of him fingers still.
Some may think | have forgotten
In the long and dreary years
The love concealed in my heart
Will never die or pass away.
The rose will wither and die IN day
All things in this world will pass
away,
AS everything in nature must,
A true mothers love will never pass
away.
Sleep on, dear one, and take your rest,
A few more years will soon roll on;
We all meet you in that blest morning
And clasp our loved ones hand.
What glad reunion that will be
When all our loved ones shall meet
In that beautiful mansion above
Where Jesus has gone to prepare.
And if we all will faithful be
We all can have a mansion fair;
On that beautiful evergreen shore;
There shall be no night there.
We will hasten on our journey thru,
Sustained by Gods great grace
To meet you at the beautiful gate
Where parting and tears are I'M
known.
His Mother, Mrs. H. A. Blocher.

People Should Visit Zoo While
In WASHINGTON

Feeling sure that Oakland people
like to see places of general interest,
outside of public buildings, in Wash
ington, Miss Thekla C. Fundenberg
sends an interesting article to The
Republican concerning the National
Zoo in that city. The article follows:
When you are in Washington, do
not miss. visit to the zoo, which is
located in Rock Creek Park and is
easy of access from the street cars
or by motor.
DR.. William M. Mann, Director of
the Washington zoo, has recently re-
turned from Africa where number of
animals were collected by an eXpedi-
ton sponsored by the Smithsonian In
stitute and the National Geographic
Society.
Great care had to be taken in trans
porting the animals on their long
ocean journey, and now they are in
stalled in their new home.
Under PWA construction nearly a
million dollars have been spent for
buildings and work around the zoo
during the past eighteen months.
Among the new arrivals are four
young Nubian giraffes, pair Of At
rican buffalos and a pair of wild
cattle, from Central India. There are
an orang- outang, blue nose sheep, a
pygmy buffalo and a number of rare
deer; two tiny mouse deer from the
East Indies look like toys. Their legs
are like pencils with tiny hoofs.
Eighty bright plumaged birds were
also secured.
Last Sunday was a record day for
attendance. Over eighty thousand per-
sors passed through the buildings and
great interest was shown IN the old
as well as in the new exhibits.
