WORK IS
QUESTIONED in ONE
INSTANCE

tF'rom the Silver State News.)
The board of county commissioners
met yesterday as a board of equaliza-
ton. Present, Chairman Blattner,
Comm ssioners Stoker and McDeid.
Assessor Leonard submitted the tax
rell for the current year, personal
property valued at $l,900,047 and real
estate amounting to $5,S69,7S0 or a
total Of $7,769,S27. This is an in
crease over last years assessment of
pproximately $266,0o0, personal prop
erty having fallen off in that amount,
while there was gain of some $i66,
100 in real estate values.
The only taxpayer appearing before
the board was Joseph A. Scilncci Of
Lovelock, who claimed that portion
of his wild land had been assessed as
cultivated. The error was corrected,
which reduced his total assessed valua-
tion about $500.
Notices were ordered sent to the
holders of unsatisfed mortgages to the
effect that if they were unable to show
cause to the contrary same would be
assessed against them at the next
meeting of the board.
The next and final session of the
board will be held on Monday, Oc-

SEWERAGE Committee
HAVE PUT In A
VERY BUSY
WEEK

The committee having in charge the
Investigation OF the proposed sewer
age system Of Loveock, have been do,
ing yeoman service this week, with the
result that they hope to soon be able
TO give comprehensive report on the
subject, with the recommendation of
which system is the most advisable.
Richard Cook, the man who surveyed
and drew the plans for the system has
spent several days in Lovelock and has
been in daily conference with the
committee ian almost every possible
system and plans have been thorough
ly investigated. New levels have been
taken and other lines run by Cook,
with the assistance of Larry Crehore
An analysis of the various data has
given the following general result:
The general direction of the system
must be- northerly and southerly; the
amout of money on hand for the work
is not sufficient to sewer the entire
town. The septic tank system would
not be any cheaper than a gravity
system.
Several of the committe favored
septic tank, located on the edge of the
old Lovelock slough, and this appear
ed satisfactory to a majority of the
members, but is was found, however,
that all portions of the town did not
slope toward the slough, and that
some portions were lower, so that this
plan was abandoned.
Engineer Cook, who made the origi-
nal survey, insists that this survey
is the most practical for the system,
and his claim in this respect has not
been disputed.

Joe Slavin, aged chief of the
Lovelock tribe of Piutes, died Mon
day of apoplexy, caused by bursting
brain blood vessel.
He was doing some light work
around the home of DR.. West, and
while carrying furniture down stairs,
fell few steps to the bottom OF the
stairway. The strain in falling rup-
tured an artery, and the unfortunate
Indian passed away as ruddenly as
though his brain had been punctured
with bullet.
An Old Resident.
In Slavin' s death, another o. the old
est Piute residents of the loveloak
valley has passed away. Slavih was
over so years Of age, a native Of the
valley, and his boyhood days dated
back to the time before the white set
tiers came. He remembered quite dis
tinctly the history of the early settle
ment of the Lovelock valley. He re-
membered the passing through Of i'm
migrants, before the valley was set
tied, and he could talk Interestingly
for hours ON the times before and fol-
lowing the advent of the white man.
Fortunately, in the interest of the his
tory of the valley, what he remember
ed has been preserved, and has not
been lost to posterity by his death.

of the Loveloek valley, prepared by
