EUREKA, Nevada, January 2. 1908.
To the Hon. Board Of County Commits
sioners of Eureka County, Nevada
| GENTLEMEN:
/ hereby make application for the position
| Of County Physician Of Eureka county for
| the quarter ending March 81. 1903. at the
salary Of $50 per month, now paid for that
service. or such salary as you in our judg'
ment may deem just and fair. / do SO for
the reason that it seems only fair that l
| should have the position SIS long as DR.. Cor
| don held it.
He held the position for ten months at 9
salary of $50 per month, or 5000 in the
aggregate. l have held it for seven months
at $50 per month, or $3.50 in the aggregate.
II given it for the first quarter of this year
at the salary now paid. the amount for the
ten months would be $500. or 500 less than
was paid DIR. Gordon for a like number of
months.
This would be treating him and me alike.
and there would be no cause for complaint
by either OF US. That arrangement would
be satisfactory to me and ought to be salts
factory TO DR.. Gordon. II the Board act
differently. it will be evident to every fair
minded person that it is prejudiced and dis
eliminates u~njustly against me. If it csn
afford to 90 on record in that way, l can af-
lord to lose the office.
Permit me to call your attention to an
other matter. 1t is currently reported, and
I believe correctly, that DIR. Gordon is not
Q citizen of the United States, or Of the
State Of Nevada. This may or may not be
true. but il true. be cannot legally hold a
| municipal office in the State of Nevada. If
the Board wishes to act legally. it might be
we'll to investigate the matter before taking
final action.
l desire to state further that / have not
been given the thirty days notice that was
given my honorable predecessor before his
dismissal from the Office, to which l am as
| much entitled as he, and the omission of
| which would be an evident discourtesy to
me. Besides, l have entered upon this
months service, and in ell justice ought not
to be disturbed before its close.
Hoping your honorable body will act 10 a
spirit of fairness, and remove once for all,
the personal equasion which has siven rise
to so much bitterness in the past. and
which must initiate against good service TO
the county's poor, l remain. gentlemen,
Very respectfully yours,
L. A. H~ARCoURT,
