any other purpose, and if no ordinance exists
to suggest to the city authorities to adopt
one. Where permission is given to take up
sidewalks or pavements to have the same re-
placed in as good condition, under the super
vision of the city engineer. Also to suggest

compel owners of buildings convenient to
sewers to make connection with the same. !"

DrGinage.-A thoroughly drained soil is

practicable, by a complete system of sewers

cable, superficial or surface drains should be

Already everybody in Carson who cares to
know anything about it knows that in the
glove fight at Virginia City on Thursday night
Jack Mailman of Virginia City defeated
William Lynn of Eureka They fought for
$1,000 side. OF the condition of the men
after the fght-which is described in a three
column report in last evenings Chronic!S,-
the last nights edition of that paper says: "A
reporter called ON Lynn to-day. He was chat
with his friends. He could ses well
ugh, and aside from cut over the left
and some heavy bruises about the face,
IS little the worse for wear.
81 thought L had the fight sure enough, "
le said, until | suddenly became blind |
could have stood the humping another hour
sr so easy enough.
Mailman was in his room, at the Frederick
House. His left hand was terribly swollen
and he is sore about the body from the heavy
blows rained in upon that section of his anat-
omy. He said;
My left hand was powerless after the fifth
round, and it hurt me to strike with it, At
one time l was much distressed from blow,
low in the RIBS, and for while thought was
going to lose, Lynn is mighty game man,
there's no discount on his pluck.
Mailman is ahead nearly So 900 on the
fight. His hackers give him half of the win
nings, and two OF them who were in for $3.50
apiece turned over their entire winnings. He
had outside bets for large amounts, and also
cleared about $3.50 after expenses on she gate
money, which was 81 100.
Donovan claims that Lynn lost the fight by
ducking his head, thereby lending double
force to the terrific upper-cuts" of Halli-
mans right hand, Lynn was finely handled
sll through, but he seemed to have discarded
the advice of his seconds.
There is some talk of match between Hal
Imam and Maynard for 81 900 a side.

Cassidy opposed the bill, stating that he
thought it would involve great amount OF
expense without any adequate return.
Boardman stated that he introduced the
bill by request, and did not at the time know
whether it possessed merit or not. He now
favored its passage by amending to reduce the
appropriation named one half
Cassidy moved that when the committee
rise it report the bill back and that it do not

State Board of Equalization and define its
duties.
Meder moved to amend by the election of
three men by the Legislature, to compose the
said Board, instead of imposing the duties
upon the Governor, State Controller and
Treasurer. He thought the said Board would
be brought into contact with the great ana
conda which surrounds this State, the rail
roads, and might defeat them if they desired
re- election.
Creswell thought the very object mentioned
would be better served by the bill than by
the amendment He felt amused and fat
