SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1877
Board of Supervisors—July Term.
THURSDAY, July 12, 1877.
Board met pursuant to adjournment; present G. G. Allan, A. B. Brady, Wm. M. Nutter and J. S.
Thompson; G. G. Allan, President of the Board presiding. ...
In the matter of the petition of certain citizens of Hunt’s Hill and vicinity, asking the acceptance
of a certain road, described as follows”
Commencing near Mr. McCloud’s and A. G. Turner’s houses, and running thence north and
northwest to the toll road, being 114 miles in length, and situate in Little York Township. The same
having been recommended by Supervisor Thompson, it is on motion ordered that said road be, and it
is hereby accepted and declared a public highway
In the matter of the verbal petition of Henry Stehr, for renewal of license to collect tolls on the
Chalk Bluff turnpike at the same rates as last year, the petition was granted.
On motion of Supervisor Knotwell it was ordered that the Road Commissioner of each district
be, and he is hereby authorized and instructed to have suitable guide-boards put up at all the
necessary points in his district. .. .
CAMPAIGN MEETINGS.—The Nevada Transcript gives the following suggestive item, which
we are inclined to approve.
During the campaign there will be many public meetings at Grass Valley and this city.
Excursion trains will be run for those who desire to attend. The matter of charging 25 cents
per head for the round trip to Grass Valley, and vice versa, is talked of by those who have
had to foot the bills for the trains heretofore. We think it would a good idea, as it would be
the means of preventing many who go for the sake of the ride, and crowding out those who
want to attend the meetings. A 25 cents tax would not hurt anybody on such an occasion,
and if the Republicans and Democratic Central Committees have an understanding about
it which we presume they will, the new arrangement will go into effect as soon as the
meetings are commenced.
HOT.—Yesterday was another hot day. The thermometer in our office stood at 98, with an
upward tendency. A dull Friday and a hot thermometer are not assistants in getting up anything like
a good local column for a newspaper. The weather sharps say that to-day will be nice and breezy and
there will be no more hot weather after to-day for the remainder of the Summer. It makes a man
think, on such a day as yesterday, about getting his Winter’s supply of wood.
