Board Nearing
Paving Matter

The board OF city trustees met in
Especial session this morning to
consider the paving matter, City At
torney John Chartz being present and
submitted a draft of the paving reso
luton. After its reading and, with a
few suggestions offered by the board
Attorney Chartz was informed that
it met the views Of the trustees and
and revised along the lines suggested
and to notify the president OF the
board upon its completion, when the
board will convene again to further
revise, if necessary, and adopt the
resolution and have it published.
Trustee ellison then made a state
ment to the board to the effect that
in the future he thought more care
should be exercised in the granting
of liquor licenses and that he thought
possibly there were several that
should be revoked. In the course of
his remarks he said that at one place
the owner had been arrested along
with three others for selling liquor
to Indians One of the number had
bee ntried and sentenced to the state
prison for a year, but was now out
on parole. At another place the pro-
prietor had been arrested for selling
liquor on election day, and it was
common report that with the excep-
tion of a half dozen saloons in the
city minors could obtain all the beer
and liquor they wanted and play the
slot machines.

About 800 Turned
Out On the Roads

Good Roads day yesterday was all
that could be asked for; the weather
was just cool enough to make work
pleasant and agreeable. The Carson
contingent left early, and was rein
forced at different times during the
day by those who could not go with
the main bunch earlier The work
ers from Carson were strung out to
about mile beyond I.akeview. near
the Cliff ranch. Some went as far as
Bowers mansion. Among the work
ers from Carson were twenty-five
convicts from the state prison and
two guards, fourteen Indians from
the Indian school with an overseer
and about fifty Carsonites. making
the total over a hundred actual work
ers. Besides these were the autos
manned by their owners, carrying
supplies, tools, 1uncheons and other
necessaries to the different squads
OF workers along the line.
The Reno peoole were Ill the neigh
hood of i0G strong, carrying on the
same system and work. So, taking il
altogether, there must have been il
the neighborhood Of 800 men direct
ly and indirectly employed, besides c
| rye number Of teams and autos.
The general expression is that {
large amount of work was done ant
some very substantial work at that
and the road now after becoming
packed will be in better condition
for travel than it has been for the
pas two years.
