We hereby recommend that the
County Commissioners investigate the
condition OF the county road leading
from the slaughter house, ortheast
from the slaughter house, northeast
ington, to point one mile east where
the new Rad is now being built, and
advise that this piece OF road be turn
piked; also that the same action be
taken with respect to stretch Of
road on the north end of the new road
now being built, and short distance
east past the old mill, in order to avoid
overflow from the river.
We also recommend that survey
be made of Hudson Pass with a view
OF locating new roadway through
this pass along the side hill i'll order
to avoid the present excessive grade
and the constant damage to the pres
ent road by heavy rains and stock
traffic; also that search be made on
the Smith Valley side OF this road in
an effort to avoid sand. which renders
the present roadway almost impass-
able
We have examined the report made
by the public accountant ON the books
OF the County Recorder and Treas
urer and found that all the recon-
mendations contained in said report

books are apparsntly in good condi
ton.

found correct.

them satisfactory and the inmates sat

ing 80 l-3 cents per meal aud each

We recommend that the county pur
chase a new ball-bearing wheel chair
to replace the one now in use which
is worn out. -
We strongly recommend that inn
mediate steps be taken to avoid rabie,
now prevalent in Elko and Humboldt
counties, and now reported in Chur-
chill county. We would suggest that
larger bounties be placed on coyotes
and other noxious animals that might
become afflicted with this disease. or
\ any other precautions taken thar
might prevent the occurrence and
spread OF the disease.
We would further recommend that,
as hogs are reported as dying OF chol
era i'll certain sections OF the county
and left unburied. immediate steps
be taken 10 enforce the burning oi
such diseased animals after death il
order to prevent the spread OF this in
fictitious disease.

in the city OF Yerington. and find the
building in good condition aside from
some mior repairs which we woulo
recommend to be made, as follows:

county officers rooms in the lower
part of the building be retintcd. a,

ness;
That the brass work on the step
OF the main stairs be bent back in po
