Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1876-04-02

WORSE THAN No WoEK.-Ths way in
which our City Trustees propose TO re-
pair that portion of the Warm Springs
road within the city limits will not meet
the expectations of the public. All the
contract calls fox is the hauling in of dirt
from the sides of the road to the middle
Of it. This will simply make dirt pile
for teams to pull through. Over such a
road it will be next to impossible for
teams to haul rock to the railroad track
for the new prison building at Reno. II
the road were untouched for the summer
it would be-as it is now-in passable
condition for heavy teaming over it.
The filling up OF the street with the soil
will be worse than doing nothing. What
the road wants is stone. Any amount Of
brush might be used to advantage, and
then dirt dumped on top Of it would
make a good road. The County Com
missioners hauled on rock and made
good foundation, and then covered the
rock with scrapers. But the heavy
teams have already made ruts through
the soil as they will through all the dirt
that will be piled on the center Of tho
road within the city limits. We would
advise our tsamsters engaged in hauling
stons for the State to get together and
form a syndicate. whereby each shall
agree to haul his share of rock to build
up the road, provided the city will agree
to stop dumping soft soil for heavily
loaded teams to pass over. This course
will be found the cheapest for our team
sters, in the long run.
New MINT NAcHINIsr.-J. B. Harm.
stead. who has been appointed by Su-
Crawford as machinist for
our Mint, arrived here yesterday morn
ing. Mr. Harmstead is not a new hand
at the business, having been machinist
in the San Francisco Mint from 1854 to |
1859, when he was appointed Coiner,
which Office he held until 1873, when he |
was removed through the instrumental
ity OF Sub-Ireasarer Charles n, FELTON,
TO give place to Babcock, who resigned, |
We believe, about the time the George NJ.
Pinney defalcations were reported. Mr.
Harmstead brings with him a first class
reputation not only rs a gentleman
but as a machinist OF superior skill.
His knowledge OF and experience with
coming presses excel those OF any
nan who has resided on this coast. We
therefore congratulate Superintendent.
Crawford on his excellent selection.
