RESOLUTION ADOPTED
BY CLUB DIRECTORS

The following is the full resolution
adopted by the Commercial Club OF
the City of Las Vegas at meeting
of the board of directors of the club
held Saturday evening, January 18TH.
1907. the same being offered by Mr..
Max Nordhaus, director:
Whereas. II has come to our
know ledge that there Is being agi-
tated a proposition among the resi-
dents of Las Vegas, having for Its
purpose the dividing of San Miguel
county. on such lines as will place
the City of Las Vegas and the Town
of Las Vegas, In different counties.
and thereby forever prevent the
union of East and West Las Vegas
into one municipality: and
Whereas, In our opinion, the di-
viding of said San Miguel county on
a line which will place the City OF
Las Vegas and the Town OF Las
Vegas in different counties, would be
detrimental to the welfare of the
community; and
Whereas, The agitation of the
question to divide said county on
this line is creating discussion among
our people, and engendering discord
In our community; and
Whereas, No exigencies exist
which require division of this coun-
ty ON these lines:
Therefore be 1t Resolved, BY the
Board of Directors of The CONNER
cial Club of Las Vegas. that 1t is the
sense of this club that such agita
tion upon the question of division
of San Miguel county should cease,
and that instead 1t should be the aim
of every member of this club to pro-
mote peace and goodwill among the
residents of this community; and fur

very pathetic indeed and always brings
tears into the eyes of his audience -
He likened other senators to minstrel
