ing him permission to fix the Carlin
road from the Stump ranch to the Elko
County line that the road had become
SO hard and dry that he could not fix it
for the $50 allowed by the Board, as
there was new piece of grade to be
made.
A. f. Stinson reported to the Board
that he had inspected the above men.
toned road and said that he could not
see very much the matter with it, and
stated that two men and team could do
all that was necessary on that road i n
n day. He recommended to the Board
the making of a new piece of grade to cost
about 500, which would render it un.
necessary to do any further work on
that road in the Spring months.
A communication was received from
Joe Trevlli stating that the road from
Mineral Hill to Mineral Station was in
bad condition and that it would cost
from So to So to fix the road, and from
So to SO to fix a bridge on the road. He
asked permission of the Board to do the
work, and said he would send a petit.
ton If necessary.
A petition was received from the citi-
e n of Roberts Creek requesting that
the Summit School District be SO
changed as to include Roberts Creek,
where there are now seven children of
school age.
The Board ordered that the limits Of
said Summit School District be changed
to read as follows: Beginning at a
point one mile east Of the Summit
School house; running thence two
miles to a point ; thence westerly
twelve miles to a point thence north
four miles to a point, thence easterly
twelve miles to a point; thence south
two miles to the place of beginning.
The line from the Roberts Creek
ranch to the Summit School house shall
constitute the easterly and westerly
center lines of the above parallelogram.
1t was further ordered that the name
of the Summit School District be
changed to the Roberts Greek School
District.
A. F. Stinson, who went to Palisade
and Beowawe last week to examine and
on the proposed wagon road to be
built between those two places, appeared
before the Board and stated that with
Jonathan Walker of Stafford and j. W.
Dwyer of Beowawe, he had looked over
the situation and had picked out a
practical and feasible route for the road.
He thought it would be a great con.
venience and benefit to the people
travelling between Palisade and Beo-
wave. and that the portions of the road
way to be constructed to connect the
parts Of the abandoned roadbed of the
Central Pacific Railroad could be built
at reasonable expense. All travel by
wagon road between Palisade and Beo-
wave is now compelled to go around by
Carlin, twenty miles out of the way.
The Board concluded to build the road
and has advertised for bids for two sepa-
rate parts of the road, the advertise.
ment Of which appears under New To.
Day" in this issue of the SENTINEL.
Messrs. Stinson, Walker and Dwyer
also examined the road between Beo-
and Shoshone and recommended
that two bridges be built ON that road.
The Board will probably take the mat
ter up with the people residing at Beo-
wave.
