White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1920-05-02

instdiico III separate Duildlng be-
fore another term, better re-fighting
arrangements should be made In that
department.
High Street Grammar School.
Excellent safety arrangements pre-
vail In this building. Fire alarm was
sounded at our request and the
building was. cleared In 35 seconds
without the slightest confusion. A
partition in the back of the hall of
the top floor should have wider
door as all the pupils on that floor
pass through this door when The
alarm Is given. The old building,
which is still in use, is discredit to
Ely and not in keeping with other
structures In the county and state;
the brick building should be COM
pleted at once, for it Is badly need
ed. Meanwhile we recommend that
a door be placed in the east wall of
the southeast room of the old build
ing. for use in case OF fire. Waste
paper not burned the day 1t is made,
should be placed in metallic con-
tainers.
Primary Grade School.
We visited the Central Ely and the
Murry Street schools and deem them
to be model structures in every par
ticular.
East Ely School.
We suspect that some of the trus-
tees of this school must have sent
advance word that we might visit that
building, for we found everything In
perfect order. even to the janitor's
closet. We were unable to visit the
school ediflces of the county not EMU
merated above. We presume such
has been the experience OF former
grand juries. This should be done
occasionally. A complete inspection
should be made OF every school in
the county. for 1t is more likely the
outlying schools will be deficient
than the more heavily attended ones.
PUBLIC HEALTH.
By our inspection of the dairies
at East Ely, Lane City and Ruth, VIC
find them In a good healthy aud san
itary condition.
At Riepetown we find the dairy
not in a sanitary condition and we
recommend the Health Officer to
make an inspection of the premises.
We find also at Ruth a catch pool or
sink hole with no outlet which
catches the drainage from all of Rob-
ert's Canyon and sewage from a
number of toilets. We deem 1t dar-
gerous 10 traffic and a menace to
public health. We recommend the
health officer cause this menace TO
be removed. We find that there is
no restriction or inspection required
In the restricted district. We recon-
mend that an ordinance be passed
by the city council that will conform
TO other cities for the protection of
public health. We find garbage and
tin cans scattered promiscuously over
the district. We are advised by the
health officer that a day has been set
for a general cleanup of the garbage
and tin cans by the city authorities.
CITY OFFICES AND OFFICERS.
We have investigated the finan-
cial affairs of the city and found upon
checking the auditors report, dated
January /, 1920, it is correct in all
respects; that we have examined the
city treasurer's reports and found
vouchers for all moneys paid out;
that we have counted the money in
the hands of the city treasurer and
found ii to be correct and to check
with the clerks account; that we
have found no funds have been paid
out from the city treasury without
warrants to cover having been pass
ed by the city council. and that we
have found the books of the city
treasurer and city clerk to be kept
in oommendable and orderly man
ner.
II is our opinion that the proper
solution OF the problem of eliminat-
| ing Illicit traffic In alcoholic liquors
within the corporate limits OF the
city of Ely would be for the city Of
ficials to enforce the initiative prohi-
bition law in this respect. Before
person can conduct soft drink par
lor. he must first receive permission
to do so from the city council. When
that permission has been granted
him. a license Is issued authorizing
him to conduct his soft drink bus
