"Canton is boom town Mt present,
and houses are sprInglngup In all parts
Of the city like mushrooms, especially
In the western portion In the vicinity Of
the Dueber watch works. There is no
question that the location Of these
works In Canton has doomed tho town
more than anything that has located
there for many years. Real estate 10
away up and house for rent can
scarcely be had for love or money.
Three and four families are living In
small houses, and people who own
houses In the Vicinity of the Duebor
works are making big money from
roomers. The Dueber company have
given vacation 10 u number Of their
employees for few weeks, aud about
100 of them came TO Akron Saturday TO

Repeaiiag the Briggs Act.

Two years ago, Senator Briggs of this
county introduced and had passed an
Act ITO encourage the construction of
of railroad in the southern portion
of the State of Nevada" which
pledged the counties of White Pine,
Lincoln, Nye and Esmeralda, or either
of them. to issue bonds in the sum of
$4,000 for every mile of main track
completed within either county, to the
Nevada and Southwestern Railway
Company paper corporation -
which never had any intention of do
ing anything itself but disposing of
its franchise to others. The conditions
under which these bonds were to be
issued are too lengthy to be explained
here in full, but the substance is that
all taxes collected from said company
were to 90 into fund to pay the in
terest and principal on the bonds--in
short, exempting the company's prop
erty from taxation for an unlimited
number of years.
We never did like the bill. We
condemned il before and after its pas
sage, and we have asked our present
delegation to move for its repeal.
And they have done So.
We do not know who introduced
the repeating bill in the Assembly, but
Mr.. Riepe has sent us the vote, which
was, ayes 35, noes 2.
Mr. Reipe spoke at some length in
favor of repeating the Act He said
his people wanted it repealed. They
were not opposed to railroads, but they
could not afford to buy one. When u
railroad was built through his county,
he wanted it to bear its part of the
public burden like other property.
And in conclusion, he struck the key
note of the subject by saying: Look
at the counties of Ormsbv, Storey and
Lander, and see how they have re-
GREETED giving their bonds to rail-
road corporations.
Mr.. Poujade, of Lincoln county,
also favored repeating the Act and
spoke earnestly TO that effect.
This bill will no doubt also pass the
Senate.
When another railroad crosses Ne
vada, IL will not come because of any
inducement in the way OF bonds, that
we may hold out, but because 1t wants
TO come and will come anyway. And
when il does let it bear its share of the
public burden like the rest of US.
