Your particular attention is called tn
the report on County Hospital and High
School The latter is, we are informed,
the only institution of it's kind having
M ITS own entire county support in
h state.
No one county institution belonging
20 us deserves more attention or support.
an II bonds for building and eauipping
IL nave been paid. We should nsk our
representatives at our next legislature
10 provide u way to accomplish the sug-
Sestlons Of u members.
several OF our streets and particularly
the alleys i'll the blocks between Com
uierclal and Silver streets are partly
closed. The Western Pacific Railroad
- grading Silver street. 1t will of
necessity occupy that street for the most
part, making travel on it most difficult.
we would suggest that the County Com
miSsioners take steps mt once to have said
alley opened and such other streets Us
VIII accommodate the travelling public.
Our attention has been called to the
dumping of rubbish all about the out
SKIRTS OF town. Would it not be we'll for
the Commissioners to designate some
place on public property. not within IL
mile Oh town. and not e n travelled
ROAD, as q dumping ground, and require
all rubbish to be placed thereon. AS it is
now 1t Is u menace to health and often a
nuisance. We believe Idaho street should
ne opened straight across KitridEo creek
ana the pile of rubbish now dumped there
be covered or moved.
The reports of our several committees
are attached hereto.

Dear SIR

pital and find it kept i'll an orderly and
neat manner, and would recommend
that the plastering be repaired in the
hall, dining room and tine large room
up stairs. Wefind Mr.. Abel thoroughly
capable and understands the work of
Hospital Steward; and believe he gives
entire satisfaction to the patients.
We find that there has beer Il great
increase i'll the number of patients,
there being Ell more having been
treated during the years of 1907 and
1908 up to the present time by Drs.
Hood and West, and we would respect.
lively recommend, in view of the high
class of work being done, that the salary
of the physicians be increased.
We have also visited the County High
School and we find that CT per cent of
the students come from outside of the
city of Elko and that all parts of the
County are represented in the school.
Also we learn that considerable diff
Guilty has been met with for a number
of years past in finding suitable places
for students to board. Every house
that is for rent in the city is held mt a
high figure and ever then they are
difficult ut times to obtain. All these
things tend to make the prices of living
high and that the price of board and

$500 this year. Sometimes parents
cannot afford to pay these prices and
for that reason the number of students
that are now receiving the advantage of
II High School education is less than it
otherwise would be.
The university of Nevada has for q

to both individual students and the in

from outside the city, similar to that
