order to save the county Of Storey-which
was a small portion of the State-the
House favored the people Of that county
by passing a bill to prevent the payment
Of the extraordinary sum Of $4,000 for a
county building. and that since the pass
age of that bill the same sellers had offered
to sell the same buildings for but $4,000.
The object of the bill was to prevent any
parties from swindling the county Of Sto-
rev, and the District Court Of that county
had decided the proposed purchase to be
q swindle. XIX N
Mr.. Haskell said that the bill proposed

Indebtedness for county buildings, and If
passed would nullify that Indebtedness,

old Acr could affect in~juriously the evil
