The reasen is that hereafter this city andGrass Valley must take care of their own roads and bridges, the county having kept them in urder heretofore, Netwithstanding the taxpayers in this city get reduction of 35 cents on each $100 worth of property, besides getting clear of paying county road tax, they are not required to make this deficiency good to the city, and that is one of the advantages of living ineuch a nice city as Nevada.

At the last’ meeting of the City Board of Trustees was presented a petition, signed by the residents of Prospect Hill, praying that the street leading from near the railroad depot to the residence of Joha Brodie be leveled and maocadamized, The Street Comniittee was authorized to look into the. matter and report. at the next ineetiag of the Board, It has pow been ascertained that the City Trustees have’ no legal right. ander the Charter to expend a single dollar in that way. The whole expense of opening new thoroughfares and grading new. streets must be borne by the property. own ers Who reside in such localities where che new improvemauts are proposed. If a certain number of property owners on Prospect, or any other street, desire any grading and graveling, the only thing the Trustees can do isthe intention of the Board to have such particular work done, and if no good reason is shown why it should not ‘be, then contracts will be asked for and the work ‘awarded to the lowest bidder, The wholéSepense of such work will then be assessed at so much per foot to the property where the work is performed.

But what is the difference between holding a man tobe shot and doing the shooting ? Is the escape of one of these highwaymen who was engaged in the marder of Mr, Cummings any reason why the other should cheat the gallows? Hanging any man is putting him to avery poor use, but highwaymen will stop stages, rob passengers and take their lives if necessary to secure the plunder, uatil highway robbery is made & capital offence. The case of Collins is a hard one, but he knew the penalty while -assisting in the murder of Mr. Cummings. An example must be made of those highway murderers, They are becoming more frequent every year, and the old prison-birds do not mind being confined a few years in the State Prison.

At the last’ meeting of the City Board of Trustees was presented a petition, signed by the residents of Prospect Hill, praying that the street leading from near the railroad depot to the residence of Joha Brodie be leveled and maocadamized, The Street Comniittee was authorized to look into the. matter and report. at the next ineetiag of the Board, It has pow been ascertained that the City Trustees have’ no legal right. ander the Charter to expend a single dollar in that way. The whole expense of opening new thoroughfares and grading new. streets must be borne by the property. own ers Who reside in such localities where che new improvemauts are proposed. If a certain number of property owners on Prospect, or any other street, desire any grading and graveling, the only thing the Trustees can do isthe intention of the Board to have such particular work done, and if no good reason is shown why it should not ‘be, then contracts will be asked for and the work ‘awarded to the lowest bidder, The wholéSepense of such work will then be assessed at so much per foot to the property where the work is performed.

But what is the difference between holding a man tobe shot and doing the shooting ? Is the escape of one of these highwaymen who was engaged in the marder of Mr, Cummings any reason why the other should cheat the gallows? Hanging any man is putting him to avery poor use, but highwaymen will stop stages, rob passengers and take their lives if necessary to secure the plunder, uatil highway robbery is made & capital offence. The case of Collins is a hard one, but he knew the penalty while -assisting in the murder of Mr. Cummings. An example must be made of those highway murderers, They are becoming more frequent every year, and the old prison-birds do not mind being confined a few years in the State Prison.
