were IN favor oil llle passage OF the bill
ana that seven we're against ii, and he
predicted That the bill had a prospect ol
success. He said that the Legislators
from this county were doing all IN their
power Tor the bill and had already made
numerous combinations in order 10 az.
complish its passage. Mr.. Noel produc-
cd a map and described just what part
OF Washoe county it Was proposed to an
mex to Storey.
In conclusion the speaker stated that
citizens OF Washoe were doing all in
their power to aid their delegation in OPP
the bill, and implored the people
OF Storey to do rs much IN behalf of the
Dill, and asked that p%etltious should be
to obtain the names OF the
citizens OF this county, as he believed
that Storey county was in jeopardy.
Mr.. Eckles asked MIR. Noel what he
meant when he referred TO combina-
lions. Mr.. Noel explained that a conlbi-
nation had been formed with The Orms-
by county and Lyon county delegations,
who wanted a portion of Washoe county
and that in order to gain the support OF
the representatives. for the Storey county
bill, it had been found necessary to sup
port their various measures. When a
from Washoe county caused consid-
cradle amusement by asking why Storey
county didn't take the whole OF Washoe
county?
Assemblyman Conboie gained the
floor and said that he had understood
that the object Of the meeting was for the
people Of Storey county to give some in
strucsions 10 their representatives. He
said that what he wanted was instruc-
and that ii he were left to bis own
judgment BIZ should consider the bill un-
fair and vote against it, but that if his
constituents should instruct him to 60
ahead and fight for the bill that he
doit no matter If it provided for
the annexation Of the whole of Washoe
Mr. Langan said that he hid not con-
slider II q steal from Washoe county as
coanty was justly entitled to the
proposed 10 be annexed. He
stated that at one time the bullion tax
this county supported the entire State,
but that now that it was poor and want
ed a portion of what was its just right !;
that the people of Washoe were crying
that it was q steal. He hoped that the
S,orey county delegation would endeavor
TO get as much of Washos as they could.
George Pyne, . lawyer in search of
standing and whiskers, said that Washee
has always tried to hog every
thing that they had the State Univer-
sity, the Insane Asylum, and that they
wanted the Prison. He favored annex
ing u portion of Washee.
The following petition was formulated
and a committee appointed to circulate +:
eve the undersigned taxpayers of
Storey county. respectfully petition our
representatives in the Assembly and
Senate to use all means in their power
to procure the passage of the bill which
Rnnexes portions of Washoe county to
Storey, Ormsby and Lyon Counties"
The petitions received the signatures
Of nearly all present, and the general
Of the meeting was ~unquestion-
ably strongly in favor Of the annexation
to Storey county of = part of Washoe as
proposed.
The Enterprise says editorially:
sThere Was an unmistakable senti-
in favor of annexing a part Of
Washoe county. The Washoe legisla-
tive delegation can no longer maintain
the Storey delegation are not sup
by their constituents in advocat-
ing the measure, which everybody from
Washoe county terms a STEAL"
Many sound and sensible (?) argu-
were made at the meeting last
evening to uphold the justice OF the
and unless Noel's enthusiasm
has impaired his Judgment the bill is
to become a law.
