to memorable congress to designate

the aid of this state.
In connection with the state uni

There seems little question of the
practical need and urgency of these
improvements, but / am not, at this

earnest consideration of the legisla-
ture, however, and in so far as the
finance or the state permit, / would
feel that a reasonable compliance
with the requests of the board of
regents with respect to the improve
ments asked, would be In keeping
with the desire of the people of Ne
vada to give their children the best
educational advantages within their
power.

81 believe that the terms of the act
are unnecessarily stringent in re-
spect to making no distinction be-
tween card playing, and other games
for recreation, and actual gambling,
and / Recommend that the act be
amended in this particular, without
In anywise lessening its prohibition
