$40 day for their services. together
with mileage, thereby drawing all the
amount of their salaries in fifteen days
sitting of the Board, leaving the balance
of the year without money to pay Com
mssioners for services III the event of
death or resignation of any member OF
the Board. We believe with the world
at large that it is good employer who
pays when the work is performed.
We find that the following named
officers have failed to make thsir reports
to the County Clerk as the statutes
provide they should do. Justices of the
Peace. M. Meador, Golconda Township
S. B. p. Pierce, Paradise Township;
t. j. Hadley, Indian Township.
Constables: r. A. Pryor, Winnemucca;
j.. L. Duval, Paradise; NJ Howell,
Rye Patch; L. j. Hoskins. Big Mead

- We also find that some of the reports
now on file in the Clerks Office are de-
fectiye in some essential points, and
decidedly too much brevity character
ICES the action OF some officers in making
their reports, and we deem it necessary
that they should itemize sufficiently to
make their reports clearly and easily
understood.
We further find that in the case of
the State vs.. vi. Huff, the bonds have
been declared forfeited, and further.
that amount of said bonds has never been
paid, and reasonable length of time
has expired since the forfeiture of said
bonds. and III our opinion the District
Attorney has been too lenient in fore
ing collection of the same.
After having carefully and thoroughly
examining in to the general condition
of the Courthouse, we find some
slight repairs needed in the roof over
the Shelitfs Office and trial jury room.
Further We find that the cement floor
in the vault of the Clerk Office III q
bad, aud in case Of a fire, in a danger
Gus condition. Further we deem the
cement poor in quality, aud We be-
lieve it to be absolutely necessary that
the floor should be Immediately
repaired, and good cement used in
doing the same. We would further
recommend that an inner e-ftting
door be put in, or some other means or
device that will securely protect books,
papers and little parcels or property
put in the vault.
We would further recommend that
the same repairs are needed in the
Recorders Office, and are similar in
nearly all respects.
We also find that at the entrance of
the vault boards extend under the
cement. connecting with the floor in the
office, and We particularly call
attention to the fact. and urge
the. necessity of immediate repairs
being made that will insure the safety
of books, papers etc. III said vault
Further we find that the windows in
District Attorneys Office are out of re.
pair to the extent that they may bs
raised from the outside. We also find
that the doors of the book case call for
repairs or should be taken off entirely.
Further, we would urge upon the
Board of County Commissioners the J..
necessity ofimmediately constructing
Jail yard, or, if that be deemed inexpe.
dent at present, to at once secure the
two Windows i'll the Jail with additional
bars or grating of some kind. SO that it
may prevent the passing OF anything in
from ths outside. We find the pump
is out OF order and needs repairing. The
sewers are also in leaking condition
and need attention.
1t being represented to the jury that
the bridge at Golconda is impossible at
high water, for want of a proper levee.
As the county has been to q great sx-
pense erecting the bridge, we would
recommend that sufficient appropria-
ton be made to make the same passable
during all seasons OF the year.
We also call the attention of the
