Does Nevada Need An Extra Session ?
Coverner Sparks Sends Out Letters to Gain Opinion of All
the l. legislators and Citizens

Governor Sparks has appealed to the legislators throughout
Nevada to tell him whether or not in their opinion he should call a
special session of the Nevada Legislature for the purpose of rehev-
ing the money stringency in this State. The letter sent out reads as
follows
To the Members of the Legislature and Citizens of the State:
There are many citizens of this State who have expressed a de-
sire to me for a special session of the Legislature, for the purpose
of giving relief to taxpayers in the several counties of the State. by
extending payment to such time as the Legislature may deem ex-
pedient
We feel positive that the financial condition of the State is
such that no serious inconvenience would ensue from a reasonable
postponement
In former years the banking institutions of the State have met
the demands of the taxpayers by advancing money in the way OF
loans or overdrafts. 1t appears to me now, that under the clearing
house system, the banks would not do this. However, l do not feel
warranted in issuing the proclamation calling an extra session OF the
LEGISLATURE without the endorsement of the legislators and the
masses of the taxpayers.
So far as the burden of the ten per cent penalty IS concerned,
the Legislature could remedy that by an appropriation refundlng the
ten per cent penalty. The first payment of taxes is delinquent De-
g. 1 do not know of any other reason why a special session
should be called at this time.
Will you kindly endeavor to obtain the sentiments OF your con-
stituents concerning the effect of such extension upon the several
counties in a financial way, and report to me at your earliest con
venience your own judgment and also the popular feeling OF your
county concerning the proposition.

there to-day. At Brancaleone and Fer

that a number of houses were thrown
down. The entire district suffered in
the shock of October 81, and at that
