Elko, Nevada, April 3, 1918.
Hon. II. J. Jones, chairman of the
Board of County Commissioners,
Elko, Nevada.
Ny Dear Mr.. Jones-I am going TO
take the liberty to call TO your atten.
ton the tattered and dirty condition
OF the flag that flies over the court
house. II seems to me, that these are
days, when the flag cannot be allow.
ed TO be other than unsullied, even in
a mere physical sense. No, better
place exists from which to give an ex.
ample TO all as to the proper regard
for, and treatment of the flag, than
from the building that represents the
government in this community, name.
ly, the courthouse.
/ trust that | have not even antici-
pated your good intention TO get n
new and suitable flag at once We
can well afford to spend money to
have floating at all times over our
courthouse a flag worthy of this great
and patriotic county.
In this connection, should like TO
suggest also, that it is not proper the
flag should fly over public buildings
after sunset or before sunrise. 1t may
be asking too much TO impose upon
the regular janitor the daily task of
raising and lowering the flag, but
am sure some patriotic boy can be
found easily who will undertake the
task gladly for moderate compensa-
ton.
Very respectfully yours,
EDWIN T.. GAME.
