here are the mill parts put together how they would be for milling. this is the hopper where you dump the grain in. this part here is called the horse, also called the chair because it has four legs? part here is the shoe and it adjusts for how quickly the grain is poured into the eye of the stone. this part here with the bars is called a damsel so when the mill is running that part is spinning around and this shoe is butting up against it to keep a steady flow and you have to adjust it by turning this if you want it faster or slower to pour into the eye of the stone, i learned the hard way you also have to give it a good whack because this is just in here by friction. if you don't give it a good whack the vibration of the mill when it's running will vibrate this out and it will fall on the floor and all of your corn, all 50 pounds, will go wham right in the mill at one time. now we're going to run the mill today. i can tell you a little bit of the differences between how the mill is run today versus how it was run back in the day. back in the day the

mills was born on april 22nd of 1870. mills' childhood was a difficult one. it was marred by a weak constitution and digestive problems, later said to be an allergy to starch. the family doctor was consulted. his suggestion for restorative was a regimen of mountain air. and this brought mills in 1884, at the tender age of 14, to estes park and to the valley and to the home of his father's cousin, the reverend elkana lamb, who when not preaching in fire and brimstone style ran a small resort at the foot of the great peak called long's peak house. for the reverend and his wife provided a measure of oversight. from his time of his arrival on, young mills was pretty much on his own. whatever he would achieve in the way of health, education and career would be largely up to him. here's a photograph of the farmhouse, as it looked oh, five or six years ago when i visited. close up as opposed to seeing it in the distance. here's a picture of photograph enos mills and his family. enos is the left here on the top row. taken about 1884, about the time he left to come to

there was an old mill here that he bought, and he built this mill in about 1820. a hold farm stand here -- farmstead here. there was a building that may barn,een a distillery, a an entire farm area here. the middle, as i said, was built in 1820 and stayed in operation through almost the entire 19th century. was subsumed into rock creek park in 1890 when rock creek park was founded, and he kept operating for seven more in 1897d finally ended when the main shaft of the mill wheel broke, and that was the end of milling operations forever. back in the early 19th century, this was rural land out here. this was washington county. it was a separate legal jurisdiction from washington city, which is what we now think of as downtown. florida avenue was the old boundary street, the northern boundary. washington county was sparsely inhabited. less than 10,000 people lived out here most of the 19th century, mostly farmers and large landholders, and farmers here grew all sorts of crops. a lot of wheat and corn and ride for local use and for shipping along the east coast. mills

mill and rock creek park. this is one of the last vestiges of the rural past of washington, this mill is the only one of its type left. it was part of a way of life of farming and milling that happened in the early 1800's. the owner of the mill was a former quaker from pennsylvania named isaac peirce. he came to the washington area in the late 1790's and not a lot land.ght a lot of ultimately 160 acres along rock creek park. there was an old mill here that he bought, and he built this mill in about 1820. he had a farmstead here. there was a farmhouse, a building that may have been a distillery, a barn, an entire farm area here. the mill, as i said, was built in 1820 and stayed in operation through almost the entire 19th century. the mill was subsumed into rock creek park in 1890 when rock creek park was founded, and he -- it kept operating for seven more years and finally ended in 1897 when the main shaft of the mill wheel broke, and that was the end of milling operations forever. back in the early 19th centur

i don't know. >> mill valley is correct. all right, mill valley, it's mill valley by rita abrams.. and can you sing a little for us? >> mill valley. talkin bout mill valley, california. that's my home. >> well done. mark a lot of rock n rollers lived here in mill valley over the years. because of the beauty of this place. janis joplin, carlos santana, bob weir of the grateful dead. but one in particular actually grew up here. he sold over 30 million records, and you might say he's hip to be square. so who is he? >> is that the doobie brothers? doobie brothers? >> good guess. and yes, they have a connection here, but not what i'm looking for. bob weir, bob weir, grateful dead fan. yeah. still lives here. yeah, i know not who i'm looking for. >> oh, it's not here you're looking for. i don't know if it was springsteen or. >> let me just think. >> bruce, i think, is a new jersey guy. yeah, that's true. >> it's hip to be square. >> if i say huey, god, yeah. >> i was born in 98, so. >> oh, yes, i know. >> okay. who is it? >> huey lewis. ding ding ding. yeah. >> huey lewis. huey lewis an

i'm available to answer any questions you may have about this mills act application or the mill act program. representatives from the assessor and recorder's office are also available if you have questions regarding the property tax valuations. property owners for 17 72 vallejo, 1019 market, and 2550 webster are also available. thank you. >> okay, thank you very much. >> good morning, members of the budget and finance committee, chair farrell, supervisors avalos and wiener. thank you very much for hearing our items today. on behalf of assessor-recorder carmen chiu i'd like to say a few quick words. i'd like to thank you for the opportunity to address you today. i'm joined by my colleague and our chief of [speaker not understood] matt thomas if you have specific questions about any of the valuations. i want to also start by acknowledging the hard work of the property owners for these mills act contracts and for their commitment to historic preservation. i want to also acknowledge and thank supervisor wiener for his leadership, supervisor farrell and supervisor kim for all of their hard work

the huguenot mill, there were two mills right downtown. from that point on, through the 1925 -- in 1925, that is when the major mills were being built. ills were3 major m built. all of the huge mills, the five and four story mills were built. by 1910, it became very apparent that these large, vertical mill for efficient. -- vertical mills were in efficient. you are moving product vertically. originally, steam, and then electrical, but you are moving product vertically. the new mills 1910 were on two stories, but that occupied more land. it became far more efficient to move products laterally. that started changing, and a huge vertical mills were efficient, and eventually they were abandoned. in greenville, and during the textile era, even through the 1960's, there were three distinct classes in this town. you had the business community, or white community that was the owners and doctors, lawyers, that kind of thing. and then you had the african-american community, who were occupied in various businesses. but they were not involved in indus

of the mills started being built. by 1895, 3 major mills will and thenwere built brandon, woodside, and all of the hudgge mills were built. the interesting thing is by 1910, it became very apparent that these large, vertical mills were inefficient because you are moving product vertically. originally it was by steam and then by elliptical power, that still you are moving product vertically -- and then by electric power, but still, you are moving product vertically. mills were on two stories but then they were on morland and it became far more efficient to move products laterally. thehat started changing and huge vertical mills as i said were inefficient and eventually they were abandoned. in greenville during the textile 1800'som the late '60's, therethe were three distinct classes of the town. you had the business community or the white community that were the owners and the doctors, lawyers, that kind of thing. and then you had the african-american community who -- you know, occupied various as nurses, but they were

here are the mill parts are together for milling. this part is called the hopper. this is where you dump the grain in. this part here is called the horse. also called the chair because it has four legs. this part here is the shoe and it adjusts for how quickly the grain is poured into the eye of the stone. this part here is called a damsel, so when the mill is running, that part is spinning around and the shoe is bumping up against it to keep a steady flow. you can adjust it like this if you want it faster or slower into the eye of the stone. i also learned the hard way you have to give it a good whack because it is in here by friction. if you do not, the vibration of the mill when it is running will vibrate this outcome of fall on the floor, and all 50 pounds of your corn will go, wham, right in the middle at one time. back in the day, they did build the dams father up the creek to divert the water into a channel to bring in water at a higher velocity to increase the power as it got here. that has been filled in since the early 1930's. when the park service redid

so there's three mills act contracts before the budget committee today reflect our affirmation that mills act matters need help to ensure that historic resources are preserved for upcoming generations. all three of these contracts have been recommended for approval by the historic preservation commission. mike buehler was here earlier and had to leave and we have with us today tim fry from the planning department for a presentation on these contracts. >> good morning, i'm eilesh tape with the planning department staff. the items before you were received by the planning department on may 1st of this year and reviewed by the historic preservation commission in october. as mentioned each of the properties are contributing buildings within both the (inaudible) district. the properties owners filed an application to enter into a contract with the city. the property types included this year include two single family residences and one multiple dwelling unit building and each owner with the help of our staff has outlined a rehabilitation and maintenance plan that meets the exacting standards for

water mills, wire mills, and a little later even electric mills appeared.any tourists claim that inside you can find the remains of wall paintings. i also met witnesses who wished to remain behind the scenes. but they assured that sometimes during church services large wings appear in the chapel to show how unusually wonderful our country is. road between sino and shklov, in some places it is very picturesque , similar to an english park. this is an entry from the diary of catherine ii. there was once a stone catholic shrine here, which appeared on this place thanks to idviga tadeusz agininsky. consider that you haven’t been to sinoy? if you haven’t tried the spring water, people come from neighboring areas and villages to get it; they believe it has healing powers. watch the program cities of belarus on the belarus 24 tv channel . hello, i’m vasya chekhov, an ordinary resident of a big city. i can't imagine my life without high-speed internet, electric scooter and coffee in the morning. on the terrace of the makiata coffee shop, every week i will try to un

of the mill that has undergone the greatest changes from the moment when this mill appeared in your, including the gable, the roof, it was not there at all, i’m just trying to restore point by point how much there was changed, there was no roof, there was no roof, everything was there, everything was a failure, there were four walls, there were five walls, a fifth internal partition, but it was also one and a half meters thick, everything, then it was all dismantled, disassembled, taken to different heaps sorted, living stones were removed from the wall, which also pose a danger. but before it was dismantled, there was a photograph, they photographed the stone, they dismantled it, cleared it, put everything in its place, as it was, it was so emotional a state when you throw a grenade in, just so that it all falls apart, and then the pain is over, if i understand correctly, you could buy several apartments at once, say in minsk, instead of dealing with this whole story, without comment. now, when i doubt whether i should start renovating my apartment or not, i will remember gennady a

this reading of mill's philosophies that the backstop for the work on mill in the 1940's and 1950's, which was securing the minds of many americans the precise nature of mill's socialism and its origins. in 1951, after more than a decade of work, the historian senseral in the classic the historian jennifer burns has , well-documented published with university of chicago press the correspondence between mill and his eventual wife harriet taylor. the letters demonstrated taylor's overwhelming influence on mill's thinking about socialism from early 1849. as mill worked on a new third edition of his latest work. principles of political economy. these notes and letters were probably the most interesting and significant of all the newly although he did not publish these letters until 1961, as early as 1940, hyack had put pen to paper to offer his interpretation of harriet taylor's influence on mill's work and life. significant was the ability to show without a doubt that mill's socialism was not a late in life phase, but a long-standing political persuasion that developed in earnest as ear

the operatives lived in a mill village. they call it living on the mill village, which was isolated. people have a tendency to segregate them. life in the mill villages was very interesting to the operatives. the mill owners provided the operatives with not only houses, but they build churches, the schools, ways that the operatives could live a reasonably normal life together. and it provided them with entertainment. baseball became a huge venue. the southern league was treated here. it became in a norma's textile baseball league. shoeless joe jackson came from here. he grew up as a small boy in a mill village. as he grew into his teen years he played baseball for the mill. he was so good that the mill itself gave him time off so he could play baseball. he was the star. and then he went to play for semi pro teams and then professional teams. provided most of these mills with golf courses for the operatives. they had tennis in some cases. they had plays, and of course church. there was a lot for them to do to entertain thems

the mills act contract is granted. i think, you know, and that is just based on the comments we heard last year like the waller -- was it waller street? the one in davos park? which one? the facade for this year. what is the address? >> 567 waller. >> thank you. so, that facade restoration, we think, has a much better chance at receiving a mills act contract versus the oak street project because the work has already been completed because they are able to demonstrate a need to the board and showing that that facade restoration, which is easy to argue is a public benefit will be funded by the mills act savings. >> i would like to see some period of work that has already been done a year or two years. because this should be an incentive, not a reward -- or a reward but incentive. >> i believe that it's up to -- it's now a year. >> currently it's a year. and that can include work that has been complete in the last year. i think what the g.a.o. was concerned about is that all of the work on some of the projects last year h

the mills act affirm the city's commitment to preservation. it is the only financial incentive available to owners of landmark properties. as supervisor wiener said, it's a property tax incentive in exchange for a specific 10 year maintenance plan. and the board does have discretion in every single contract that is in front of you. it has been demonstrated over a number of years to be an effective preservation tool to help owners offset the cost of maintaining these older structures. and it has been used in many other cities in california. we, in fact, are behind other california municipalities, some of which have hundreds of contracts in place. in recent amendments proposed and sponsored by supervisor wiener, streamline the process making it cheaper to get into this process and less cumbersome to actually go through. so, as a result, recent designation of the due poems contract, there are 10 contracts before the board which is the most the city has ever proposed at one time. with that i will turn it over to susan parks of the planning departm

even as john locke, becoming shorthand for the ideas came to ,ill the void left by mill mill's work did not conclude disappear from discussions of american political identities. one work of his that has gone , itntioned this far reemerged in the late 1960's and 1970's as a rallying cry of many second wave feminists across the country. 1950's,the 1930's and his centrality on american liberalism as her vision lessons, because the finer line he walked between the many saw a socialism and liberalism, a particular publication of his remained integral for those seeking to understand historical british or european political thought, mill's more complex socialismssure prevented the philosopher from becoming americanized in the same way as john locke. for some it was easier to make a distinction between marx and locke than it was to unpack mill. but by putting red flags around mill, something was lost. perhaps the willingness of the american political tradition to embrace the messier liberalism are presented by mill then it one time it seemed the very essence of political possibility in this cou

that is what the mills act does. unfortunately in san francisco, we make it very hard for people, particularly smaller property owners to act as the mills act. there are other cities and counties, including l.a. and other places, that have much, much broader acts that the mills act here. hear, for small property owners, it is almost nonexistent. part of the reason is the link become a cumbersome, unpredictable, things get delayed. this legislation tries to fix that. the synchronized application and decisions control is on an annual basis, so that everything gets processed together. it will lead us in the direction of having a more standardized contract to make it go easier. in addition, it provides very fixed time lines and deadlines, but for the planning department and the assessor's office to process these applications. if it is going to be accepted or not, property owners know in a timely manner. and with the current law, each contract is subject to approval or disapproval by the board of supervisors. it also will

governor mills? gov. mills: we have done a number of things to address the workforce issue. it is a national issue. maine has the seventh-highest migration rate of any state in the country. people are coming here. at list -- at least 16,000 moved here in recent months. for the past four years, we have been working on workforce issues, a problem i inherited their you know the headlines before i took over and then some. and it is not an issue i am going to wish my grandchildren will solve it we are doing a number of things in partnership with republicans, democrats and independents in the legislature, free college commission for committed to colleges for two years for recent high school grads, opportunities for tax credits, would have you majored in, come to maine and we will pay up to $25,000 of your student loan debt. and people are coming here, young families here. the labor participation rate is 32% for working age people 24-54. they are coming back. maine suffered from early retirement like other states, more acutely because we are an older state. >> you have a follow-up

free meek mill! >> how do you explain why your case has become so important? >> this is the same thing that thousands of minorities are going through. they just don't have anybody to speak on their behalf. >> now they do. >> yeah, now they do. >> rap star, hashtag, symbol, meek mill inspired a movement. >> he's been wronged by the criminal justice system for a decade now. >> we have been conducting criminal justice with a chainsaw. >> in his first post-prison interview, he tells his powerful story. >> my father was murdered in south philly. you ever see somebody get your brains blown out? i've seen it multiple times. >> how he rose from the streets to the charts. >> he has this energy about him. >> sentenced to prison for a probation violation. >> being locked away is just like a mental torture. >> it's affected his life, my life too. yeah, it affects all of us. >> and why he rose up for change. >> i'm still doing time for that case. something is not working. >> this is a tough judge. he violated. he

but it's also important to have our efficient water mills replace the old diesel-powered mills.re used to be five of them in this village. now there are none. that's much more environmentally friendly and reduces carbon emissions. >> at noon, dhan bahadur goes home to eat lunch. it's an hour's walk, and he's carrying 20 kilos on his back -- payment in kind from his customers. he and his wife have raised five children, and now a grandchild as well. he's not sure if his mill helps protect the climate, but more and more often he is feeling the consequences of global warming. >> we're worried. our crops aren't growing well because the weather's been going haywire. we should be planting millet right now, but there's no rain. and later, we'll suddenly have so much water that everything will be washed away. >> that's another reason his wife is glad they've invested in the mill that provides them with a regular income. she says electricity makes life easier.% they have a mobile phone now and the children can study in the evening. but more importantly, she doesn't have to worry they won'
