Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1897-02-27

IT SEEMS that the lawmakers
cannot bear to let prosperous little
Lyon county alone. For years 9th
er counties have been trying to
obtain a portion Of our territory, or
CONSOLIDATE" us with some OF the
less prosperous counties. A bill has
already been introduced and sat
down upon by the present Legisla-
ture to take q portion of our taxable
property and annex it to Douglas
county.
Now comes Mr.. Hatch, of Storey
county, with bill entitled ian Act
to submit the question: Shall
Storey, Lyon, Ormsby and Douglas
counties be consolidated to the
electors Of Storey, Lyon, Ormsby
and Douglas, at the general election
of 1898 and to provide for the can
vass and certifcation of the vote
thereon"
We have not received yet print
ed copy Of the bill, and do not know
exactly how the vote is proposed to
be taken.
However, if the vote is to be con-
sidered by the majority cast for the
proposed consolidation, we want
none of it. Storey county and
Ormsby can out-vote Lyon and
Douglas about two to one, and will
vote for the measure, so Lyon might
Just as we'll not vote at all. But, if
the question is left to the vote in
each county whether the consolida-
ton shall be made or not. it is all
right. Lyon county will vote no by
about ten to one. And this being
the case there is no use of submit
ting such a question to the people.
1t should be clear to all, after
what has been written and said
about boundary lines in the past
few years, that Lyon county's de-
sire in the matter is to be left strict
ly alone. We are in a prosperous
condition, and to put US INTO anoth-
er county where We will have to
help others out of debt is an unjust
and unwise thing to do.
