(BY A. A. WHITTEN.) Doughnuts and coffee are always good, but they seem to have a specially fine flavor when enjoyed as they were on the last Monday evening at the close of an interesting session of the lodge. Any member who is not attending is missing a great deal. No one should miss the big time at Santa Cruz, commencing August 31st, and lasting a week.

Fine program for every day and evening. Take advantage of the special one fare rate, and if you can't stay the whole week have two or three days of a good time such as only the The Fraternal Brotherhood knows how to give. The lodge extends an invitation to any friends who desire to take advantage of the low rates to join us on our trip. IMP. O.

The following report was received from the committee appointed at the last meeting to advise the board as to the necessary tax to maintain the proposed road bond issue of $1,250,000: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors, of the County of San Mateo, State of -Gentlemen: Your committee on tax rates relative to the proposed bond issue of one million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for a system of good roads in San Mateo county, beg leave to report as follows: The assessed valuation of San Mateo county for 1912 is $28,500,000.00. The assessed valuation for 1902 was 476,000.00, showing an increase of almost 100 per cent for the past ten years. Assuming that the bond issue is to run for forty years, at per cent, it would require a tax rate of 32 cents on each $100 valuation for the first year, which would retire $30,000 principal and $56,250 interest. Should the valuation increase in the future at the same ratio as the past ten years, the fifth year the tax rate would be 20 cents on each $100 valuation.

It is our opinion that should the proposed system of roads be built, that the assessed valuation of the county would be increased at the end of ten years nearer 200 per cent then the estimate given you of 100 per cent. Respectfully submitted, C. D. Hayward, assessor; W. H.

Underhill, auditor; J. V. Neuman, county surveyor. On motion of Supervisor Brown, seconded by Supervisor McEvoy, the. report was referred to the citizens' advisory committee.
