OPINION
ON COUNTY LAW
DISTRICTING OF COMMISSION.
ERS EXPLAINED By COUNTY
ATTORNEY

On requesqt of County Clerk H.
c. Robertson, District Attorney Foley
has rendered the following opinion
regarding the provisions of the act
entitled: IAN act to establish com-
missioner districts in Esmeralda
county and providing for the cleo
ton of the members of the board
of county commissioners thereof. .
Much comment regarding the pro-
visions of this new law has been
current of late. In the law the
county is divided into three commits
sioner districts, the east side of
Goldfield to Prospect street, the
vest side of Goldfield, with Column
bia and Jumbotown, and third, the
remainder of the county. The east
and west dividing streets in Gold
field are Main street and Broadway.
In his opinion the district attor-
ney says: cat the election to be
held in November a long-term com
missioner should be elected, who
shall be a qualified elector and res
ident of District No. l.. At the cleo
tion a short-term commissioner
should be elected from District No.
g." District No. l is the east side
of Goldfield and No. 3 is the outly-
ing towns of the county.
The opinion further says: "On
Jan. /, 1921, the situation will be
found to be that the term of our
present long-term commissioner will
then expire and also the term of the
short-term commissioner to be elect
ed this year from District No. 8 will
expire.
THE statute provides that at
each election after 1918 there shall
be elected two county commission
ers. one long and one short term,
who shall be qualified electors and
residents of the two districts the
terms of office of the county COM
missioners of which expire Jan. 1.
This provision, however, is qualified
by the two provisions: Provided
the long-term commissioner shall be
accredited in direct biennial rota-
ton to each of the three districts,
as hereinbefore described; further
provided, no two commissioners
shall serve at mi and the same
time from any one district
1T will be noticed that the two
commissioners whose terms expire
Jan. 1. 1921, will be residents of
Districts Nos. 1 and 3. At the same
time the long-term commissioner TO
ne elected this year from District
No, l will have two years of His
term remaining. Therefore M
commissioner can be elected in
1920 from District No. /.
"As the law provides that the
long-term commissioner shall be &C
credited in biennial rotation to each
of the three districts, the long-term
commissioner to be elected in 1920
would necessarily be a resident of
District No. 2 and the short-term
commissioner would be a resident of
District No. g."

Preparatory to more comprehen-

The Home Fruit Garden in South
ern Florida

In the counties in which the
growing of citrus fruits is Of COM
mercial Importance the home fruit
garden may contain more sub
tropical varieties than can be
grown in the northern part Of the
state.
The tendency now is to grow
but few commercial varieties of
citrus, says w. L. Floyd of the
University of Florida college of
agriculture. The home fruit gar
den should contain such varieties
as the King and Ruby, which are
of especially fine quality.
The kumquat is an ornamental
shrub, which grows readily and is
surpassed by few plants in beauty
when loaded with ripe fruit.
The everbearing lemon should
be given place. One tree will
supply the family with all the
fruit of this kind needed and will
provide it in abundance in sum-
mer when it can be best appre-
ciated.
The guava may be used to
screen unsightly objects and in
addition will supply valuable
fruit.
Near the shore of lake or 9TH
er moist locality some Hart banan-
as will grow readily and fruit sat
isfactorily for years after once be-
coming established.
In the more southern counties
the paintings should include some
avocado trees, preferably such
well established varieties as the
Family and Trap, and some East
Indian varieties Of Mangos.
The Carica 'papaya or melon
fruit will, if given place, prove
both useful and ornamental.
All these may be placed about
the home and will add much to the
attractiveness of the place.
South Florida nurseries can
supply these plants; order now
for December or January deHv-
cry. Plant carefully when re-
ceived and make your home beau
tiful and healthful.

REASONS FOR INVASION BY

London, Jan. 3O.-Ihe reasons
which led to the invasion of Bessara-

causes of the rupture in relations be-

planned by the correspondent of the
Times with the Rumanian army, in
a dispatch filed on January %. He
says the Bessarabian officials made
repeated appeals to the Rumanians
to restore order and save property
from looters, conditions having been
greatly disturbed by the Bolsheviki
regime. Another and more powerful
consideration was that Bessarabia
contained all manner Of supplies be-

7:30 o'clock, for a full discussion of
plans. All arrangements for the
forthcoming hike have not yet been
made, and the gathering tonight is
expected to make up final plans and
guarantee a large number in the
bunch. These hikes are enjoyable to
all who participate, and since the
local troop is being broadened in
activities and usefulness, the next one
should be made up of boys of old
and new memberships.
