Belongs to Territory.
After report of a committee had
been read stating that inventories of
property had been made in each road
district, Mr.. Quinn stated that at pres
ent the county does not really own a
pick or shovel. When the counties
began, the Territory turned over lot
of its property to the counties, and
kept an inventory. Since then the
counties have used up some of this
property. Picks and shovels have
gone to the junk heaps, mules have
died, and, of course, new picks and
shovels and new mules have been
bought and paid for by the county
but as none of the inventoricd property
of the Territory loaned to the county
and worn out, has been wiped off the
slate the county still is using proper
ty of the Territory.
A new system must be inauguratei
and now as fast as piece of Terri
torial property is worn out, it must
be wiped off the inventory, so thai
when the county buys new mule o.
span of fire department horses, thos'
assets may be iotted down as county
. not Territorial, assets.
