Taken all in all, the vote and SEN
timent were so strongly in favor OF
the old board, who have been pro-
nounced in their efforts for paving,
at least that portion OF CARSON street
from the railroad depot to the end OF
the Capitol block, that it is to 'oe hop
dthat everyone will NOW jump in and
assist in the paving movement and
do nothing to further retard the
work. 1t is Of vital necessity that
Carson City should discard the old
order OF things and catch ON to the
wave of progression that has taken
hold of and is progressing in every
town Of the state, and this commune
ty should no longer be regarded as a
back number. Refusal to read the
signs Of the times is going to do dam
age in more ways than one.
