GOVERNOR ODD|E
A VISITOR HERE
MAKES AN ADDRESS no STU.
DENTS OF THE HIGH
SCHOOL

Tonopah, Governor Tasker L. eddie
arrived in Goldfeld by automobile
during the week and remained in
camp until Sunday, when he left
for Reno to attend, at the state
university on Monday and Tuesday
the Safety First" convention, to be
held under the JOINT auspices Of the
Engineers club of that institution
and the Nevada industrial commits
sion. Although his visit here at this
time was for purely peronal purposes,
Governor eddie, as president of the
state board of education, visited the
county high school n afternoon
and delivered a brief address to the
students in the main auditorium Of
the structure.
"My visit here at this time,' said
Governor Oddie," is for the purpose
of attending to several personal mat
ters and no official significance at
taches to it. AS is well known, 1
have been identified with mining in
southern Nevada for many years and
I always enjoy making visits to Gold
field and Tonopah; in fact, to all the
mining camps of the state. ! am
much pleased with the conditions
prevailing in Tonopah and Goldfield
and l believe the future holds much
in store for them. The same may be
said of the mining industry of the
state in general, as well as other in
dustries. Nevada is steadily forg-
ing to the front and it's future was
eve more alluring in every respect.
Just as present l am giving as
much thought as possible to the plan
for the erection at Elko of the state
industrial home for delinquent boys,
authorized by the last session of the
legislature. The plans for it have
practically been completed and the
contract for construction will be
awarded in the neal future. l be-
lieve it will be completed and ready
to receive boys by the end of the ap-
preaching summer. The members of
the board of directors of the institu-
ton and myself have decided that
the institution shall be built on the
cottage or unit plan, which in other
states has yielded excellent results.
The first cottage or unit will be
built of brick and stone at a cost
of 100000 and will accommodate
thirty boys, in addition to the SUI
perintendent and matron. AS the
demand arises, it is the plan to en-
large the institution by the erection
of additional cottages or units"
Referring to matters of Importance
at present engaging the attention OF
the people of the state, Governor
Oddie said:
Il firmly believe that the new
state tax commission will be a great
benefit to the citizens of Nevada. OF
course, it will encounter obstacles
but I think that it will be working
smoothly in the next year or two. 1t
will equalize taxes and when that
task is accomplished the assessment
roll will be materially increased and
the tax rate will be correspondingly
reducad
