which has been made under the laws
of the State of Nevada, will have a
capital of 10000.
Attorney Reynolds in behalf of the
Eureka Electric Light & Power Com
pany stated that the Electric Light
Company would like to know how
many electric arc lights the county
would want at the Court House and
on the Main street of Eureka. Men,
bers of the Board stated that this
matter would require consideration,
and any definite answer to this prop
osition could not be made at this
time.
Attorney W. r. Reynolds appeared
before the Board in behalf of the
Eureka Electric Light & Power Com
pany and requested that the seven
miles of unfinished railroad track
grade and water rights heretofore
known as the SeIigman-E Eureka & Ne
vada Southern Railroad, acquired by
the county in 1915 at the delinquent
tax sale, be advertised for sale ac-
cording to law.
Thomas Dixon was present and
claimed to own the Fitzpatrick spring
that he had learned had been includ-
ed in the description of property the
county had acquired by delinquency
of tax payment. and he objected to
the county advertising this portion
of the property for sale.
The Board assured Mr.. Dixon that
it certainly would not sell anything
it did not have title to. and the sale
of the property according to law was
ordered as follows: That the Treas
uref advertise for sale all the right,
title and interest now held by Eu-
reka County in and to seven miles of
unfinished railroad track grad
known as the Seligman-E Eureka &
Nevada Southern Railroad; possess
sorry in and to the several tracts of
land. together with the water rights.
At the evening session of the Board
Commissioner Sadler moved that the
order heretofore made directing the
Treasurer to sell certain property
heretofore belonging to the Eugene
Howell estate (Seligman- Eureka &
Nevada Southern Railroad) be modi-
fled so as to exclude the Fitzpatrick
Ranch Spring and 10 acres of land
surrounding the spring; that said 10
acres of land surrounding aid spring
shall not include any part or portion,
or in any manner interfere with the
railroad track grade mentioned in
the original order of sale. The mo-
ton was seconded and carried.
