COUNCIL MAY
MAKE SOME
EXCEPTIONS
In Matter of License Pay
ments-- City Building
And Other Matters

At the meeting of the city council
last night several matters of import
ance were brought up and a few
of them disposed of. Among these
discussion of the license problem and
purchase of the lot for the city hall
and fire house were chief.
The meeting was called to order
with Mayor Clark presiding and all
members of the council present.
Bills were first presented under the
order of business and In nearly all
cases passed A bill for $500. price
paid by the city for lots II and H.,
in block B, in Ely, was passed as was
also another for abstract fee of $50.
On being called on, City Attorney
Walker discussed the question of de-
linquent licenses for the quarter
year ending with December 81. He
stated that he had sent written no.

not paid their license. Some of them
had responded by paying. while in

could not secure remittance of the
tax. He was in favor of this, as in
cases of distress the city ordinance
provided for remission.
The city attorney was told to sue
the parties delinquent and in case
they were not able to pay to instruct
them to appear before the council
with a petition In regular form.
City Engineer Millard presented
the new fire map. which Mayor Clark
refused to accept on the ground that
the engineer had included streets
which had never been placed on the
city plat. The streets were accord
ing to the names and number re-
Gently adopted by the council. Mayor
Clark, on account of the change of
Garden street to Clark street, de-
clared that he would hand no bou-
quets to himself This was the hitch.
Councilman Root stated that as
chairman of the light committee he
had changed light which was on
Murry street, to the corner of Sec
ond avenue and Aultman street. City
Marshal Hudgens reported that all
the mending needed by the sidewalks
had been done by his order.
The reports of the city treasurer
and the city clerk were then submit
ted and were found not to corre-
spond. the treasurer's report show
ing balance of $4,111.53, while
that of Clerk OldfieId showed a bal

BELIEVES BILL
WILL STAND
UNTOUCHED
Representative Does Not
Think Opponents Of
Police Measure Can
Get a vOte--The Law

Representative Baird. who return
ed to the city Monday evening from
Carson. said yesterday that he did
not believe the police bill would come
to vote of the people under the ref
erendlm law which is effective in the
state.
Mr.. Baird while at the capital and
on the way home met with a great
many people who had interest in the
bill and also in the welfare and orr
derliness of the state. From n
he gathered from these and
general tenor of talk on the slftscJsi
he reached conclusion that such en-
forts as might be made by those
who still wish TO defeat the bill
would avail nothing That the petit
tions which are in circulation for
signature will get the necessary 10
per cent of the registered voters of
the state to attach their names is
exceedingly doubtful. unless 1t should
become the desire of those who are
not opposed to the bill to have it
come TO "a vote in order that such
majority might he piled up In favor
of il as to kill the opposition for all
time
The constitutional amendment
providing for the initiative and ref
erendum was voted upon and car
ried in the election of 1904. Its pro-
visions are as follows:
Section l. Whenever 10 per cent
uin or more of the voters of the
Ftate. as shown by the number of
Votes cast at the last preceding cleo
tion shall express their wish that
any law or resolution made by the
legislature be submitted to vote OF
the people, the officers charged with
the duty of announcing and proclaim
ing elections. and of certifying nomi-
nations, or questions to be voted on,
shall submit the question of the ap-
proyal or disapproval of said law or
resolution to be voted on at the next
ensuing election wherein a state con-
gressional officer is to be voted for,
or wherein any question may be vot-
ed ON by the electors of the entire
state.
Sec. 2. When a majority of the
electors voting at state election
shall by their votes signify approval
of law or resolution, such law or
resolution shall stand as the law of
the state, and shall not be overruled.
set aside, suspended, or in
any way made imperative except by
the direct vote of The people. When
such majority shall so signify disap-
proval the law or resolution so dis
shall be void and of no ef-
feet.

Within a few days il is probable
that suit will be started between

Judge Brown OF. the district court
will be asked TO decide the ambigu-
Gus act Of 1907 which is interpreted
differently by each of the officials.
This act in its first section states
that from and after the time of pas
sage of the bill its provisions shall
be considered In effect. 1t is headed
a provision governing salaries of
county officers OF White Pine coun-
ty. II provides that the sheriff and
ex-ofiicio assessor shall be given a
yearly salary of S2.400, together
with fees which were perduisites

one which renders the whole ambigu-
Gus. or worse, as Il specifies. CON
trary 10 the first paragraph. that the
law shall go into effect on the first
Monday In January, 1903. Constru-
ing the act according TO the evident
meaning of the first paragraph. Sher-
iff Davis has turned in several small
items and has made demand on the
auditor for the salary stipulated
therein. This has been refused and
the board of commissioners refuse
to take action until such time as they
are assured of the real meaning of
the law. Much interest Is felt by the
officers involved in the outcome of
the contest both on account of mon
etary interests and In order that the
vexatious question may be definitely
deci iof them. II Is probable that
Mr.. Davis, as his first step, will file
request for writ of mandamus
compelling Mr. Mcknight to pay the
salary provided by the act.

BONDS SUFFICIENT SOLD It'd
COMPLETE SCHOOL HOUSE
PAYMENTS LEFT

Although only 30 of the bonds
which We're voted for building of the
new Ely school house have been
bought to this time and remain on
hand, it seems at present that only
one or two more, II any more, VII
have TO be disposed of to complete
the building in every particular. At
present there is a balance in the
hands of the school board amounting
to between $4,000 and $4,000
The original issue consisted of So
bonds of $1,000 face value each.
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-02-05

From time to time these have been
disposed of as funds were needed for
erection of the building. In every
case, where possible. they have been
sold to local people. The same policy
has been followed in nearly every
local bond issue, home people being
given the first chance at investment
in the gilt edge securities.
When the school is thrown open
next Monday morning for the first
time, practically completed, the debts
incurred will have been practically
paid off by the board

month. Unless some obstacle Is
thrown in the way, which at present
cannot be anticipated, there is
thought to be no doubt that the deal
will be put through.
From what can be learned it is
thought that the merger will be made
with share for share in each COM
pany as the basis of exchange In the
new consolidation. The capital stock
will be doubled.

While the local influence of the re-
port of approaching consolidation of
the Ely Witch with Federal Ely has
been somewhat small the eastern

gone to 21 cents.

FILTHY LUCRE

The Hoboken, N. J., police have $500
in their possession which they say be-
longs to a Wilmingtonian, and they
don't know what to do with it. The
owner OF the money, who registered at
Meyers Hotel, in Hoboken, as Con-
stantine Mykolayevch, Wilmington.
Del, is now on the high sea, having
sailed on the Kronprinz Wilhelm for
Europe. 1F
The strangest thing about the affair
is that the Wilmington man showed
a disposition not to care what became
Of the cash. After he had left the hotel,
a maid found the roll under the pillow
of the bed he had occupied. She noti-
fed the clerk of the hotel and he in
turn communicated with the steamship
people, and just as the Kronprinz VIII
helm was sailing, the man was located.
When told that he had left $500 at
the hotel he merely shrugged his shoul-
ders and Remarked that he hadn't the
time to go back for it," He sailed on
the steamer.
The hotel clerk turned the money
over to the police and the latter are
in quandary what to do with IL

TO START REBELLION
AGAINST CASTRO

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 18.--Notwith-
standing its stand. the United States
win probably not go far out OF its way
to suppress the alleged revolutionary
movement against President Castro, OF
Venezuela, in which Senior August +.
Pulido former charge d'affaires for
that country in Washington, Is said TO
be the leading spirit.
Nothing would please the American
Government quite so much as the de-
position Of Castro, II It could be
brought about in a legitimate way by
the Venezuelans themselves; but inter-
national comfy would require this
