board of county commissioners oc-
Cured Monday. The clerks min
utes show that the following busi-
ness was transacted:
Upon application of Walker and
Howard, of Fairview, a retail liquor
license was ordered issued.
The clerk of the board was in
structed to correspond with the gov
ernment officials regarding plan to
have reserved rights-of-way on all
section lines in this project, border
ing Indicated land. This objective
is in consonance with the boards
plan to better the county's road
system.
Inasmuch as Michael Sullivan,
saltwater justice, has moved to
Reno to reside, the clerk was order
ed to write to him and request his
resignation.
The district attorney was ordered
to notify T. E. Van Drillen to discon-
tinue flooding the county road In
his neighborhood.
An application was considered
from H. C. Taylor and w. H. Bau-
mann for the purchase of section 28,
township "a, range 20, tract of
about $40 acres of land recently
bought in by the county at Its de-
linquent tax sale. The clerk was in
structed to determine the status of
the land involved and il patented to
advertise it for sale.
The government authorities are
also to be communicated with re-
garding the flooding of roads. this
time the complaint coming from the
Makinson district. Project Eng.-
neer d. w. Coles good Offices will be
asked that the nuisance may be
abated.
The sum of $1,000 was ordered
transferred from the emergency
fund of the county to its road fund.
A complaint was received from
the ladies of the Artemisia club
against the dumping of city garbage
along the roads leading out from
town. Cognizance was taken and
the board has instructed the clerk to
request the town council to make an
order looking to the abatement of
the nuisance.
One o. H. Mack, a Reno bum bill
collector, or a bum Reno bill coll
lector, whichever way one wishes to
use his words, this paper assuming
that either is correct, presented
claim to the board for $225, for
medical and hospital fees for one
John Kelso. whom the claims show
was treated In Reno last October and
November. DR.. M. A. Robinson has
L bill for "A visits to Kelso at $3.50
Per throw or $4,000 in all. DR..
Geo. Mckenzie didn't get his gouger
in quite rs strong, only visitini, Ke)-
SO ten times for which he asks $25,
while the Sisters hospital filed
claim for $120 for four weeks ser.
vices. Mack alleges in his claim
that Kelso was treated at the in
stance of the sheriff of Churchill
county," but Sheriff J. c. Coniff says
he was not party to any such ar
rangement and that he knows moth
ing of the affair. Either Mack is
trying to run a monumental whizzer
on this county In the presentation of
bum claim, or someone has bum
coed his Chants for services by i'm
personating our sheriff. Inasmuch
as 1t is claimed that these services
were rendered last October and Mo-
vember and that subsequently no
claim was ever filed with the county
authorities until now gives the whole
affair a shady aspect, which most
people think fits the personality of
this particular o. H. Mack to a
nicely.
Claims allowed by board of Coun-
ty Commissioners on May 4th, 1914.
