Lyon county has been in the lime
light throughout the entire session,
and il was not until a few days ago
that the representatives of that
county was given a breathing spell.
During the early days of the session
Lyon was brought into prominence
through a bill to change the county
seat from Dayton u Yerington.
When this had been accomplished,
bill was drawn up to unite Lyon to
Ormsby and after the Lyon county
members had killed that move,
another bill was made to unite Lyon
to Storey. This was not TO the liking
of Lyon and hard sott We. on. A

prise to - s.uvs. as it was thought
IL would be extremely close.
The senate substitute for Senate
Bill No. So, relating to the appor-
tioning of school moneys met with
much objection from the Washoe.
Storey and ormsby county delega-
tions. as those counties will be losers
by the new act. All the other coun-
ties In the state will be benefited.
The object of the measure is 10
lake a more equitable apportion-
,hent of school moneys and the
small schools throughout the state
and especially those in the eastern
and southern parts will receive sums
that will enable them To keep the
schools in outlying districts open for
a longer term than at the present
time.

public revenues aud taxes was taken
up by the committee of the whole in
the assembly and discussed at length
J. +. Shanghnessy of the railroad
commission addr sed the COM
mittee and showed that by the pro-
posed law that the public utilities
Will be taxed according 10 their
gross earnings and which will result
in the state receiving over $780,
10000 more in taxes than IL Is now
receiving under the present system
of taxation, and this amount will be
greatly increased when the tele-
graph. telephone, express and other
public utilities are brought under
the proposed tax commission. Should
this measure become the law, the
act creating the state board of as
SCISSORS will be repealed.
Mayor ingalls, of Reno. addressed
the committe of the whole in the as
sembly in favor of an act relative to
the juvenile court.
A measure that will undoubtedly
receive favorable consideration is
the one concerning the appropriation
for a building and exhibit at the
Panama exposition.

of Nye relative to the classification
of counties on the basis of taxable
property passed the assembly Tues
day. If this act becomes a law. all
