Lovelock is rich agricultural city

FRED T. DOLL FAVORS
COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
(To Editor independently


June 24.-In your editorials last
night you had an article entitled
Commission Government" wherein
you state one of the members of the
Merchants Association asked what the
city would get thru having a commits
sion form of government which it
could not now obtain from the county
commissioners.
/ would reply that If we had a city
government we would obtain many of
the smaller things which go to make
life more pleasant in our city which
we are not getting from our present
government.
In justice to our board of county
commissioners will say that they do
give their attention TO the larger and
more important demands but the
smaller things which go to make the
difference between a country town and
a city seem to be considered too small
a matter to receive consideration.
l am informed that IL any one break
ing town ordinance saw fit to fight
his arrest and fine in the higher courts
Elko would find it could not enforce
it's ordinances. Elko has no legal
standing, they cannot even sell their
bonds to outside brokers. In this case
I am speaking of Elko as a town and
not OF Elko township. Would not a
city government abolish this condi-
tion?
We have a town water wagon, 1t
waters a few of the principal streets
while we all pay for 1t. The writer
has at times endeavored to get this
wagon on the hill where he lives. 1t
resulted in the streets being sprinliled
there once or twice n week. This
year we have failed to have 1t at all.
Would not town government see to
1t that the voice OF the people on the
hill in a matter would receive a prop.

do not wish to impose upon this
paper with too many details but have
merely mentioned few points which
believe could be brought to head
with city government which is not
being done with our board of county
commissioners. And It cannot be
done because q board of county com.

Pola, Old Pirate Stronghold, Frowns
on italian Coast.
In bulletin recently issued the
National Geographic Society gives
the story of Pola. the great Austrian
naval station, which is described as
THE Heligolandl of the Austrians.
Pola is only few hours from the
cast coast ports of Italy.
"Pola,' the bulletin reads, which
is the chief naval station and arsenal
of the Dual Monarchy and one OF the
best protected ports in the world,
may soon become known wherever
war correspondence is read as the
most vital strategic point on a new
wide-sweeping battle front. For Pola
is the Heligoland of the Austrians
toward their Italian neighbours and
in case of a rupture between these
peoples, it would be Austria's most
powerful advanced base.
