Commissioners
in Long Session
ISSUE ORDER THAT ALL DOGS IN
WHITE PINE COUNTY RE MUZ-
ZLED ON AND AFTER FEBRU-
AIRY

The board of county commission
ers has been In session the greater
part of this week and much business
demanded attention.
On Monday Chairman Weber re-
ported In detail to his colleagues the
result of the conference held in Win
nemucca to devise plans for the ex-
termination of rabies, and following
the report of the chairman, Commits
sioner Mcdonald offered resolution
on the matter which shows conclus-
lively that an important step is the
muzzling of dogs and poviding for
such action in this county. The res
olution fixes the date at which all
dogs must be muzzled as February
7th, and after that date all peace
officers are authorized and directed
to kill any and all dogs found at
large and unmuzzled. The resolu-
tion was Immediately seconded by
Commissioner North and unanimous
ly carried.
OF course the county commission
ers have no jurisdiction over such
matters within the corporate limits
of the city OF Ely and a copy of the
resolution passed by the county
board will be presented to the city
officials. II is confidently expected
that like action will be taken by the
mayor and the city council at the
next meeting by that body.
Mrs. Josephine Cameron, formerly
matron in charge of the county hos
pital who just returned to Ely a few
days ago after an absence Of about
two years filed with the board an ap-
plication for her former position in
case of vacancy
Pat keegan remitted his check in
the sum of $40 for the care of Pat
Kennedy in the hospital. Mr.. Ken
nedy was injured while employed on
Mr.. Keegan's ranch in Spring valley.
and Clerk Od1ield was directed to
acknowledge Mr. Keegan's remittance
with thanks.
Messrs. r. II Holtzman. II. A.
comins and Joseph V. Murphy, men,
bers of the school board. took up
with the commissioners the matter
of adjustment of an account arising
out of payments on bonds made by
the county when the same had not
been properly provided for by former
school boards The members of the
school board stated that there was
balance of $5447 in favor OF the
county and that out of the levy of 80
cents made last year $2500 was now
IN the treasury. II was agreed that
the school board should pass a reso-
iution authorizing the county to de-
duet $1,000 from the fund and apply
II on the Indebtedness. A like pay-
ment of $1,000 will be made from the
May collection of taxes. II seems
quite likely that the school board will
advocate bond issue of about $4,000
Tor the purpose of erecting schools
In Central Ely and on Murry street.
The pesent school building is taxed
TO Its capacity and they cannot now
receive any new students. II seems
10 De along the most conservative
INES TO erect buildings at the points
mentioned, as this will obviate the
necessity of small children travelling
such great distance and II will like
wise obviate the necessity of a new
wing on the present building, which
VIII be necessary beyond any ques-
ton II the new buildings are not
erected.
The county board ordered $25OO
transferred from the geneal fund to
the county high school fund to apply
on the loan of $4,000 which the
county procured from the high school
some time ago.
The matter of payment for water
used on the court house grounds was
adjusted. Arthur Smith appeared be-
fore the board and on behalf OF the
water company offered fat rate of
s24250 per year for water used on
the gounds, and his proposition was
accepted. This matter has been the
subject of some litigation and the
settlement agreed upon seemed to
meet with general approval. The
question of payment for the ground
occupied and water used by the fish
hatchery IN M,rr,, ..u,,.. ..,.
