been brought to our attention that
most of it is carried on in the different
saloons and in other public places
such as hotels, lodging houses and
where people are wont to resort; the
board of county commissioners have
1t In their power, sitting as liquor
board, to revoke the license of any
saloonkeeper who knowingly permits
gambling to be carried on and con-
Quoted in his place of business. In
our judgment, we feel that If the
board of county commissioners would
adopt the policy of revoking licenses
where gambling is carried on and
conducted in the places of business,
it would most effectually be the
means of stopping the greater part
of the violation of this law; and

an apparent duty of the officers to
prevent the same by informing
against the violators of the law that
we reluctantly conclude that they
have not performed their duty, and
vigorous action should be taken at
once to compel the officers to per
form their duties in this respect
This can be accomplished by com.
plants being made to the different
officers by the public and also by
the office of the district attorney
When it Is called to the attention
of such officers, we earnestly request
and insist that every step be taken
to bring the violators of the law to
trial.
County Roads
Our Investigations of the condition
of the public roads of the county
have been in the main directed TIC
the mode and manner Of their up
keep, and we find that they are kept
in as good repair and condition az
the funds available for that purpose
permit. The main thoroughfare be
tween Tonopah and Manhattan
known as the Manhattan, Rount
Mountain and Smoky Valley road,
because of its frequent and univer
sal use, should be kept in bette
condition. From the observations
made by the committee which hal
had the condition of the public road
under investigation. we especial.
recommend that the sign board
throughout the county be given NOR
attention; numbers of them ar
found to be down and defaced.
Streets and Alleys
We especially call the attention O
the board 81 county commissioners
sitting as town board for Tonopaf
that more attention should be give
by them to the repair and upkeep @
the public streets and alleys of tn

should use all available means to tn
end of keeping the same in bette
condition than they are now in.
Public Buildings
A careful examination has bee
made of the public buildings through
out the town and county and we fin
the same to be in good conditio
for the purposes for which they al

buildings throughout the county al
gradually increasing in number an
are being better furnished an
equipped for the use of teachers ar
comfort of pupils than heretofor

complaints are lodged against tt
