GENERAL ORDER NO. 6.
whereas, 1t has come to my knowledge
That divers and sundry disputes and bick-
erings have arisen among my loyal subjects
In Eureka, Nevada, in relation to the con.
struction Of a Temple of Justice in that
place and
Whereas, 1t was considered wise by nv
loyal subjects in Eureka county to change
the law, so that the County Board shall
consist Of eight members instead Of three.
For these reasons, and some others, it is
therefore
Ordered, That the said County Board
shall consist Of nine members, for the ia
cilitating business, in case Of a tie vote.
and l do hereby appoint r. sadler to fill
the vacancy hereby created. l made this
appointment for the purpose Of giving the
Democratic party a respectable minority
representation. 1t had the majority in
the old Board, and that majority did the
trouble business. Besides, too, this selec-
ton will catch the German vote in the
coming Presidential election.
1t is further ordered that il any legal
question arises before this building is com
pieted, or afterwards, that it be settled by
the local newspapers, and no resort to the
Courts under any circumstances.
1t is further ordered that for the benefit
OF the industrious and sagacious contract
or, that a contract be so drawn that the en-
terprising contractor can draw all the
money and half finish the Job, and also
| quit work at will.
This will necessitate more contracts, a
revival of business for printers, architects
and laborers. and help the community
financially all around-even lawyers will
get a dab.
This course seems to be necessary to Sc
cure the Workingmen's party at the next
election.
1t Is further ordered that neither the nu-
merous Board nor the people, whose
Home Rulers" they are, have any rights
that contractors or even sub-contractors
are bound to respect.
And do further proclaim that all of the
Hospital, Current Expense and School
Fund be transferred to what will hereafter
be known as the Legal Fund" which is
hereby created.
This fund shall be used only and solely
to employ all the legal talent in Eureka,
to advise the Board how they may beat the
people and assist the contractor.
1t is further ordered that a majority OF
the old Board send in their names for adj
mission to that excellent order known aa
the Damphool Intirmary. Their qualifica-
tons are exceedingly ample, therefore they
will pay the initiation fee.
And it is further ordered and proclaimed
that A. Jackson be, and he is hereby ap-
pointed at a salary of $40 per day to super
intend the work. This il done for conve-
nience, as the Superintendent can attend
to his W business at the same time. All
money paid for this branch of the service
shall be put into a pool to beat Democratic
candidates Mt the next election. This will
be a saving TO contractors
1t is extremely gratifying to me to learn
that Mr.. Horn has been placed on the
Board by universal suffrage, and my only
regret is that he was not made Chairman,
a position to which l have previously ap-
pointed him. / charge all good citizens Of
Eureka with the PRONUNCIATION and execu-
ton Of this order.
NORTON /, Emperor Of America.
