COUNTY RECORDS TO BE
RECOPIED by RECORDER

The records of the county of Els
meralda, dating back to the period
when the county was a part of Car
son county, Utah, in 1855, viii
be recopied from the RAPIDLY deter
iorating volumes hat have served
as record books for the past 60
years. The county commissioners
at a recent meeting acted favorabjy
on the petition, presented by Re-
corder Johnson, to authorize the
recorders office to copy the rec
ords into loose leaf note books.
The system authorized will elimi-
nate the expensive and difficult copy
ing of a whole volume when rae
difficulty rests only in several
pages or a section. The loose leaf
record books are constructed so as
to permit any page to be removed
and copied and a new page return
ed. thereby affecting no other por-
tion of the volume. The reports
were formerly all copied by hand
and required much more time and
space than they do at present when
done with the aid of a typewriter.

Mr.. Simpson has noted that the

produced an electric arc with these

REMAINS UNCERTAIN
EJACULATION TEST TO BE MAZE
TO DETERMINE CONDl-
TION OF DOG

A letter was received tday from
w. B. Mack, director OIL the sla'e
veterinary control service, by She1-
if ingalls,, which reported on the
preliminary examination OF inc
head of the supposedly rabid DOG
killed here lately, a pet OIL Wiliiahi
Raum The microscopic examlna>
tion of the brain failed to defect
tho nresence of the dread disease
although Mr.. Mack instructed the
sheriff not to place too re-
lance on the preliminary examiha-
ton and to instruct any persons
bitten bv the animal to apply 70
Dr r. H. Mullin of the state ny
genie laboratory at Reno for treat
ment with the Pasteur cure.
This action must be taken, as IL
will require too long a period OF
time to determine by incubation
whether or not the dog was inject
Cd rabies. This is o~.' to be the
only reliable method to empty
when the animal was killed in the
early stages of the disease, as this
one was. Sheriff ingalls, stated to-
day that as far as could be ascer-
tanned no one had been bitten by
the supposedly infected animal, al
though several dogs in the neigh
borhood in which the owner resided
are reported to have been bitten
by the animal.
The dog was shot through the
head and a large quantity of the
blood was allowed to flow out, thus
making an accurate microscopic
test impossible. The danger for
this district is heightened by the
appearance of coyotes from the
north, where the rabies epidemic is
prevalent. Residents or the out
skirts of town have reported hear
Ing the hungry animals bowling
nearly every night for the past
few weeks, especially since the
heavy storms have driven the wild
animals north.

SYSTEM
FOR SCHOOL TAX
ATTORNEY GENERAL UPHOLDS
CONTENTION OF TAX COM
MISSIONER

The government affairs of the
state of Nevada in all of its
branches is supposed to be operated
on the budget basis and the Neva-
da tax commission has, during the
past three years, says the Carson
News, met with a serious stumbling
block in its demands for district
special school budgets by the con-
tention of a number of district at
~torneys that Section 1907 of the
revised laws of Nevada of 1912,
gave the boards of school trustees
the right to demand of the boards
of county commissioners that they
levy an arbitrary millage rate on all
property within the district, regard
less of the actual amount of mon
ey required or the actual assessed
ralnation of the territory assessed.
Commissioner Adamson has al
ways contended that this was an
Interpretation of the law,
and recently took the matter up with
the attorney general. either in sup
o of his contentious subdivis-
ION 13 of section 1905, revised laws
Of Nevada. wherein district special
school budgets are absolutely re
onired under parallel conditions
with levies provided for in section
1907.
The attorney general has upheld
the contention of the commissioners
Interpretation in every detail, and
complete budgets will be demanded
beginning with the current year.
This will unquestionably result in
more equitable distribution of the
school burden than has formerly
been possible, as is shown by tine
following illustration:
In the past the board of school
trustees in a certain district. which
for the proceeding year had an as
sessed valuation of 1000. 00C,
should decide that they required
a special levy to produce $1,000.
The custom has been to direct the
board of county commissioners 10
make a 10 cent mileage levy. In
the meantime, additional property
has come into being within that
particular district which triples the
assessment valuation.
The millage levy is fixed an6
then produces three times the act,
ual special requirements and if ths
trustees hold themselves within the
limits of their original estimate
the excess of $4,000 at the end o
the year reverts to the genera
school fund and is disbursed Ivy

struction. in accordance with the
law, throughout the various dis
tricts of the state.
This method Of final disposal hos
been an open invitation to the trus-
tees of the district whose property
owners have paid this special tax
to extravagant and unnecessary ex-
penditure in order to keep theil
own contribution within their own
territory.
The budget system should and viii
control this situation.
