Tonopah daily bonanza. [volume] (Tonopah, Nev.) 1906-1929, 1914-12-22

with our approval and we see no
reason why the same should not be
entirely satisfactory to the inmates
of the Institution as well as to the
management, and there should never
be any complaints from this source
The building we find to be equipped
with all the modern improvements
and the management is conducted in
an excellent manner and Mrs. Cort,
it's matron, is entitled to the COM
mendation of the general public for
the manner in which she has con-
Quoted the county hospital. The
premises are kept faultlessly clean
and the question of heat, light and
ventilation are efficiently regulated.
Old Buildings
We recommend that the old school
house of Tonopah be disposed Of by
the board of county commissioners
on the first opportunity 1t is going
to wrack and within short time
will be entirely useless for any pur-
pose.
| 1t has been called to our attention
that number of buildings through
out the county, which have passed
into the possession of the county by
reason of tax sales, are being neg
lected and overlooked to very large
extent by the officials We would
recommend that an inventory be
made and taken of all this class of
property and that it be placed under
one head for the purpose of selling,
renting or otherwise disposing of the
same.
Fire Department Town of Tonopah
We recommend to the board of
county commissioners, sitting as a
town board, that the present fire SER
vice be improved upon by requiring
one of the employees of the depart
ment to remain on duty throughout
the night time. 1t has been called
to our attention that in numerous in
stances fires have occurred where
the department did not reach the
fire until an unreasonable length of
time had elapsed This complaint
could be avoided, in our judgment,
by having one of the department on
duty at all hours to give the alarm
Water Pressure
This oft repeated and agitated
question has been under considera
ton and we are advised that an effort
is now being made by the board Of
county commissioners through the
Public Service commission of Ne
vada to compel the Water company
of Tonopah to provide an efficient
water service for fire protection. We
are passing no opinion on the pr0po
, sition as to what amount of money
, it would cost to acquire a pressure
sufficient to extinguish fires in any
part of the town Of Tonopah, but W.
feel that nothing should be left un
, done to afford to the people the re
, lief which they demand. If the wa
| ter company cannot be forced to pu
in system for fire protection, thei
} the board Of county commissioners
sitting as a town board, should taxi
, steps as are necessary to provide

Sanitation
The sanitary conditions of tn
4 court house are not up to the stand
: ard and we recommend to the boar
d of county commissioners that NOR
n careful and painstaking attention b
3 given to this building, especial
i with respect to its cleanliness an
e sanitation No disinfectants ar
found in the toilets and a great dec
of carelessness is exhibited in col
d nection with the upkeep of all tn
}. departments.

IS cemetery. 1t is commonly known 9
e a "sewer RANCH" being the poir

e is given an outlet. By reason of il
70 close proximity to the inhabited Sc
h ton of that community and the fir
" quent use of the public road whie
le passes the place, 1t makes 1t mo
at Objectionable as we'll as being
Is source of unhealthy conditions ar
possible breeder of disease. It h,
been brought to our attention tn
ty this sewer discharge Is appropriate
lie by the owner of a vegetable gardt
TT who sells his products to the Peep
ne of Tonopah. The evil can be rem
be died by either the extension of Il
en- sewer system to point where

could be bettered by the sewer CO
