Street Crossings in Eiko

For several years the people Of the
eastern part Of town have petitioned
the commissioners for railroad cross
ings, bnt their petitions have remained
unanswered. The commissioners have
taken the matter up with the railroad
company time and again, but nothing
has been accomplished. This is said to
he due to the fact that the commission
crS have no power under the law us it
now stands to force the railroad com
pany to put i'll the necessary street
crossings. If this is 50, the next lcgis-
laturc should pass an act giving the
boards Of county commissioners i'll I'M
organized towns the power to force the
railroad companies to put in street
crossings wherever the public interests
demand.
The lack Of necessary street cr0SSin IS
imposes harlships upon the people and
retardS the development of the town.
These conditions should not ba per-
mittcd to exist any longer than is
necessary to have them removed. If
the law rs it now is does not place the
required power with the authorities, Il
law should bc passed that does and it
should then be enforced.
As Senator Hunter is the only repre-.
sentative Elko will have in the next
legislature, this matter is called TO his
attention in tho hope that nc will have
law passed that, if enforced will open
all the streets Of this town.

Fire Department Matters

Yesterday two of EllIo's prominent
citizens spoke to rs regarding the dis
organized condition Of the fire depart
ment and the steps necessary to place it
on Il tire-fghting basis. Both thought
that a meeting of citizens should be
called and steps taken To reorganize on
Il basis that would make the depart
mcnt more effective and ut the same
time create better feeling among the
members Of the hose companies.
Both suggested that someone should
be employed and paid by the town to
keep the fire plugs and apparatus in
order. Another suggestion was that
the members Of each hose company he
compelled to register their names i'm a
book, provided for that purpose and
kept i'll the fire house, after each fire and
that each fireman SD registered should
be paid 81 for every fire by the town
board upon the certificate of the fore
man of the company.
This suggestion is worthy of consider
alton by every property holder. As it

ing and are compelled topurrhase others
at their own expense. This is not fair
to the boys. They should either he re.
imburscd ont of Il fund provided for
that purpose Or they should be paid
stated SUN for their services ut each
fire.
The town is taxed to pay for the use
of the flrc.plugs, but this money is
thrown away if we do not maintain
well equipped fire companies and keep
the fire-plugs and apparatus in con-
dition for instant use. Without these.
the property owners derive but little
benefit from the taxes they pay to the
wafer company for the privilege Of
using the fire.plugs in case of fire.
