Mr. Williams opposed the passage Of
the bill as impolitic, 30 far as the few set
tiers in the Pahranagat region was con-
cerned. II, was very easy for one or two
hundred actual settlers to submit q petit
ton with four or twelve hundred names
to 1t, praying for the organization Of the
new county. In his opinion there was no
precedent for the establishment of a county
in the way it was proposed to create Lin
coin county. Besides, with the little
money in circulation in that district, the
people would find 1t exceedingly onerous
to support a county government.
Mr.. Julian argued that no means were
provided for the Identification of the names
that might be signed to the petition for the
creation Of the county.
Mr.. Edwards denied the assertion oil
Mr.. Williams, that there was no preceden,
for the creation Of q county on a petition
of settlers, and proceeded to show that the
creation Of Nye county had been similarly
and more loosely provided for by an Act
of the Territorial Legislative Assembly,
He regarded It - the duty Of the Legisla'
ture to foster and encourage the develop
ment Of the agricultural and mineral re.
sources Of all parts Of the State, and thu
proposition to pass this bill was for tina
purpose only. Governor Blasdel was toe
conscientious an officer to permit himself
