Pioche daily record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1872-1876, 1876-03-01

Meeting of the Board of County Com
nissioners held, yesterday in which they
nnulled all contracts made by the
Jounty, also discharging the County
Physician, Janitor, Laundress, Hospital
Steward and all employed by the County
lirectly or indirectly. We understand
hat Mr.. Kastberg, the former Steward of
hospital, has offered to take charge OF the
,ame until some arrangements can be
made. Jno. Roeder has offered to fur
nish supplies and some butchers have
agreed to furnish meat, but of course it |
cannot all be taxed to these few. Some |
Of our other charitably disposed will |
step forward and do what is right and |
take the matter in hand at once. The |
County Commissioners have offered the
use of the hospital and furniture to any
one charitably disposed to take charge of
the sick, and as a competent man has
volunteered he must be assisted with
medicines, &c. This is no
time for distributing tracks or sermons.
The sick need something more substan-
tial and the sooner they have it the
sooner they will be able TO get out and
help themselves.
PUBLIC READING RooM.-Pioche has o
gymnasium, skating rink and organi-
cations of various kinds; in short, every
thing but Reading Room. The great
need of one no class feels more than we
young men do. Therefore we. the
Phoebe Philalethic Literary Society,
have deemed it advisable to make q
united effort to establish a permanent
Public Reading Room and Library in
Phoebe. The people of Phoebe know
that we cannot do this without their as
sistance. Books, periodicals and papers
are expensive. We shall therefore wait
on you ana ask you to help us. There
will be one hundred (100) shares at ten
dollars per share, which entities the
holder to admission to the Library and
Reading Room for one year, from the
time it is opened.
Respectfully,
THE PIocHE PH1LALETHIc
