Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-04-24
FOR A PROGRESSIVE CARSON.

One week from today a ehcion will be held in Carson for the
purpose of selecting a board OF trustees. 1t will be the most impor-
tant election ever held in this city. In the outseto OF this ARTICLE rhc
Appeal wishes to tate THAT it is for public improvements of every de
scripton and for every legitimate enterprise that will aid and assist
in the rehabilitation and continued upbuIding of Carson City and Its
surrounding territory mindful all the time OF the necessity Of safe
guarding the peoples interests. The people of Carson City have got
to be aroused to- the fact that too long have they rested on their oars
contented to dwell in a community in which THEY have lived for years,
thing worse, have overlooked the wonderful advantages that the sec
ton possesses, to THE detrinent, not only. of the city itself, but to
themselves as we'll. Too long have some of them quibbled and com
planned THAT their taxes ar % high TOR the income they receve from
their property; too long have they stood in their w light by prevent
A2e and obsructng public improvements, too long have they enter
tanned the idea that they are secure in the possession of state build
alive to- their own interests, are reaching Quit and obtaining business
which properly belongs here at home.
1t is not the purpose of the Appeal to indulge in personalities o
abuse of the citizens OF this community who do not coincide with
this papers views, for we recognize at all times the inaIenaole right
of every person to think and act for himself or herself But anent
this election the present board of city trustees is up for reelection;
that its members have made az good board of trustees for ue city Of
Carson no oe an dispute; their administration of the chy's affairs
has been clean, honest, economical and progressive; no scandal has
attached itself ito any of their official acts and their private life is IN
assahable. Every n of the present board is in favor of public I'm
ing Carson street with asphalt pavement att the present time from the
Virginia & Truckee depot to Second street. They are in favor of doing
it at nee and will, if elected, start the machinery in motion to put
into effect the paving Of Carson street as proposed: The board is
composed Of our best citizens, men who have spent a lifetime in Car
son and ne KNOWN rs honorable and upright her. and their election
puts it squarely up to the people whether they wan paved streets, or
whether they wish the present conditions of the streets to remain As
it is. 1t is the one issue and on it the old board will rise or fall
The candidates o. the opposition ticket are good, honest, honor
But it does say, and that emlhaticaly that they are not in favor OF
paving the main street OF Carson with upto-date asphalt methods
and to pave at once, or are they in a hurry to see improvements
made -N
against any Of the candidates; it is simply paving or antipavng,
whether Carson shall go ahead, become prosperous and enjoy a bust
nes revival, or whether it shall sink still lower in the slough 1t d.
spair and become the subject OF or ridicule from the entire state
of Nevada.
