Total amount expended
in assessing Nye
county by J. J. Owens
for the year 1901. 5~,660.69
While the cost of assessing Nye
county for the year 1907 is $4,000
more than the cost of assessing it for
the year 1906, it will be noticed that
the results of collection of taxes and
the assessed valuation Of the county
is more than double, and in this re-
spect much credit is due to the pres
ent administration.
We find licenses Of the various
businesses as collected through the
sheriff's Office up to the present time
to be as follows:
The state liquor licenses
collected since 1907 to
date amount to ..,.. .~$12,36S.00
Merchandise licenses for
the quarter ending Sep
TENDER, 80, 1907 49,. l,491.25
General miscellaneous Ii
eenses ............. S,353.75I
Gaming licenses ....... $4,000
Slot machines ....... $4,000
Bankers and brokers ... 965.00
Saloon licenses ....... 1880
With reference to liquor and
gaming licenses, we know of no
better way to express our salts
faction with the administration
than to use the words of the late
State Auditor \. W. Rolf in his
final and last report, which are
as follows:
I'm every county, probably
with the exception of Nye, there
were violations of liquor laws,
as the result of persons selling IL
without licenses. Most of this
was done in the redlight and
dance hall districts, and was n
notorious fact; also hat the
gaming laws were 'winked at,
and in several counties the sher-
in and other officials were taken
in partnership by gamblers, and
licenses arranged
The fixed expenses of the sheriff.
Office in the county of Nye for Tono-
pah are two jailors at SIS per day,
one Office man at $175 per month;
one guard for prisoners on the
streets "a per day. Rhyolite: One
deputy at So per day, Manhattan;
One deputy al IS per day.
We find that the maintenance Of
the county jail has been exceedingly
economical in every respect, espec-
tally with reference to the daily cost
of boarding the prisoners. BY the
ton with the county jail we find that
prisoners are boarded in the county
jail at a cost of As cents per day.
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE.
During the work of this body we
have necessarily been in closer con
tact with the Office of the district at
torney than that of any other county
official. We wish to express our en-
tire satisfaction with the able and
business like manner in which the
work of the Office is conducted. As
our advisor, Mr.. McCarran has been
at our service and we appreciate the
many courtesies that we have receiv-
ed from him. The volume of bust
ness of this office has more than
doubled during the last twelve
months, but Notwithstanding this
fact. there is no congestion.
PUBLIC UTILITIES.
Owing to the prevalent public
dissatisfaction with the service
and rates of certain qnasi-public
corporations, we have asked the
district attorney to look into the
franchises Of these corporations
with the object of seeing IL there
is IN available remedy. The
district attorney reports that u
thorough search has failed To re-
veal any record of the franchise
of IN of these corporations. We
recommend that the board of
county commissioners go into
the matter thoroughly at the
earliest possible moment.
Respectfully submitted.
