THE BOUNDARY LINE.

The bill Of White Pine County for the
proportion Of Lincoln county's expense
in running boundary line was laid over
for future consideration. and the Clerk
of the Board was directed to notify the
Hon. Board OF County Commissioners OF
Of White Pine county to this effect: That
we, d. A. Fulks, Julius Hoffman, and
John G. Lynch. composing the Board OF
Commissioners of Lincoln county, do
not contend that our north line is incor-
rect SO far as the same is run, but that 1t
does not run west far enough by one
mile and one-half; that We will run our
west boundary line ut an early day and
then determine upon your bill; also,
would like to know by what law you
charge $40 per mile, our statutes only
allowing So .ser mile for running said
boundary line.-tPioche RECON-. 7tb.
FIN answer TO the above we copy the
following from the proceedings oil orr
Board Of County Commissioners ia
News.
To the Hon. the Board Of County Com
missioners of Lincoln county, Nevada:
GrsTLEMEs-A copy OF the order
passed by your Hon. Board on the 9th
instant is at hand
The line east and west. separating
White Pine and Lincoln counties, run by
tho Surveyor of White Pine county, is
the line that you concede to DO correctly
run Except that il does not run lar
enough west).
As We have before informed your
Board, the east limo Of the State is In
longitude ia deg. 2 min; hence the
length OF the line between White Pint
and Lincoln counties is bat SO Secs, OF
more than mile and half less than {
degree. Our east State line being on thu
37th meridian Of longitude west from
Washington, is III deg min. west from
Greenwich; Washington being n deg
min west from Greenwich. We think
the fact that our Surveyor could run but
So min. east and west line, under the
law, and your understanding that no isto
run full degree, is the point wherein
you are in error.
Az further proof of the correctness OF
our Surveyors run, the Nye County Sur
veyor contends, from data furnished him
from Washington since the survey waf
made, that our east aud west line was
run too far west by nearly one mile. and
we have his statement to that effect,
certified copy OF which l enclose here
with, together with his letter to Count!
Surveyor NJ. W. Henry, requesting hin
to change the line, which Major Henri.
refused to do. II his statement be true
then White Pine county is slightly gaine
in territory by the line AS fixed, and i
the west line OF Lincoln county should
be run and marked to this point of inter
section, now established, Lincoln count.
would be correspondingly gamer in terri
tory. So you must see that II there i
any error it must be in your favor Bu
we do not admit there is any.
Compensation for surveyors for run
ming county boundary lines, you will fin
it in Section 4094, Compiled Laws. TIL
fee allowed surveyors (Sec. 274Sl doe
not apply. In running this line our sur
veyor furnished all supplies. Cinnamon
fagmen. laborers and material for work
ing the lines, and $40 per mile was con
sidered by our Board not only a reasona
BILE compensation. but much less tina
has been paid elsewhere in the State fo
similar services.
By order of the Board of County Con
inissioners. w. f. FoRREsT, Clerk.
