CITY SOLICITOR WILL
APPROVE FILTER AWARD
Has Notified the Water Commissioners That He Will
Draw Up Confracf---Reminds That Wafer
Rights Have Not Been Bought

ordinance as authorized by the statute d.
recting the mayor. city treasurer and city
auditor to execute faid bonds. The ordi
nance expressly provides that
such Officers shall execute said
bonds when directed by resolution
OF the Council. 20 do so.
in this connection after the contract
shall have been fully entered into and
the liability Of the city fixed. am OF the
opinion that tho finance committee can
be required az such action may become
necessary. to offer the bonds for sale
in the method required by law and that
thereafter tho mayor, city treasurer and
city auditor may be required to sign
said bonds.
While the ordinance states that the
last mentioned officers shall sign the
bonds only when directed by resolution
Of the Council to do so, yet. after the
bonds are once sold, the purchaser can
compel a delivery which, OF course
would carry with It proper execution.
Il believe that the bonds are salable
but as such purchases are always made
subject TO the approval of the attorney
for the purchaser. Il is beyond my
province TO say that the bonds will be
approved. / am OF opinion that they
will be.
Il must remind your board, however.
that should the finance committee re-
fuse to act, and an action be brought
against the city or the members OF the
Council. It will be my duty. as city
solicitor, to defend whatever stand the
Council may take. and in so doing. /
will not be without many we'll consid-
cred cases to the effort that Council
cannot be compelled 20 issue the bonds.
Notwithstanding. that some OF the
cases hold 70 the contrary. my opinion
after a fun examination, is to the ef-
feet as above set forth.
Il wish 70 remind your board. how
ever, that when this bonding act was
up before the House and Senate COM
mittees at the last session of the Leg
islature your then chief engineer. you,
present president and myself assured
that joint committee that six hundred
thousand dollars was amply sufficient e
take care of the full completion Of the
water supply system and that two hun.
dred thousand dollars would positively
be used for the acquisition Of water
rights
Under the act you cannot be held tC
this understanding but such a breect
of faith with the members Of the Leg
islature may make Il somewhat difficult
when the city again asks for the enact.
ment of new laws.
; Il am calling your attention TO thii
matter in case you may have forgotten
it. and for the further purpose Of in
. forming the members of those com
mittees that have not broken faitl

Complainant Absent
Brown Dismissed

Being convicted, on his own con-
fession, as well as by the Testimony
of several witnesses, of having solic-
tied aims on the streets, young
man giving his name as Norman Fin
ley was yesterday sentenced to 20
days in Jail by Justice Cartwright.
From the evidence offered as well
as his own confession, Finley, who
has been in town but short time,
solicited aims on the streets few
nights since while partially intoxi-
Gated, spending whatever he received
for liquor He made the mistake of
trying to secure money from City
Marshal Hudgens, who he knew had
considerable money on his person.
As a consequence he was arrested.
In telling mis- story Finley claimed
that he came here only few days
ago with the intention of starting to
work at the smelter at McGill, but
deciding to come on to Ely, spent all
of his money. From his memory of
the night he admitted that he had
received and solicited aims from sew
eral people.

Solicited Aims. Gets
Stiff Jail Sentence

Fred G. Brown, charged with pass
ing worthless checks upon j. b. Haz-
lett, saloonist of Ely, was yester-
day dismissed. the prosecuting wit
ness failing to appear. All costs
were assessed against Hazlett.
Hazlett appeared before Justice
Cartwright Tuesday and swore to a
complaint against Brown charging
him with having given him a worth
less check for $40 and one for So.
The latter, however, was not mem
toned in the complaint.
When the case came up for hear
ing Wednesday afternoon c. r.
Reeves. attorney for the defnse, ask
ed for continuance for one day. This
was granted. When court recon-
yened the witness did not appear.
Justice Cartwright, as well as
other court officers expressed them
selves as much aggravated over Haz-
let's action and 1t is probable that
the next of the kind will result in
a bench warrant being issued.

Foraker Says Taft
Ribbed the Game

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator
]. b. Foraker has given out a state
ment as to the result of the primary
elections in Ohio on Tuesday, when
the Taft forces made practically a
clean sweep in the selection of dele
gates to the coming Republican state
convention. In his statement Sena-
tor Foraker says:
Nobody should be either sur
prised or misled by the result of the
primaries held in Ohio yesterday. 1t
has been common knowledge for
weeks that the call for these prima-
The White Pine news. [volume] (Ely, Nev.) 1906-1910, 1908-02-14

ries was of such character that my
friends throughout the state refused
10 participate. Consequently there
was no opposition to the selection Oh
Taft delegates. Under such circnm-
stances he would of course carry eF-
erything.
THAT the result of the primaries
does not indicate anything concln-
sive should be manifest from the
fact that the total vote polled will
not represent more than 10 per cent
of the Republicans of Ohio. There
were only two districts in which
there was any approach to contest,
and these contests were due TO the
fact that there we're opposing candi-
dates In each district for the nomina-
ton to congress.
"In the Sixth district the Taft can
didate was defeated by 1,025, while
in the Fifteenth district Mr.. Dawes,
the Taft leader and candidate for a
denomination, is probably beaten, ac-
cording to the latest advices | nave
received. If there had been pri-
mary in which we could have par
ticipated similar results would have
been possible, II not probable, all
over the state.
Recurring to the state eonven-
ton, it should be borne in mind that
il will be composed of representatives
of only one faction of the party. Not
because the people have so elected,
but because the course of the TAFT
managers was such as to bar every
body else out from participation.
