That's because it isn't Fall, no matter what the weather man and the Reno Evening Gazette said Friday.

Then the Gazette reported that Fall began at a. m. Sunday. Actually, it begins at 5:10 a. m.

Tuesday. An explanation might be that the line on the weather bureau chart above the one for Fall's beginning says 2:33 a. m. Sunday, but a host of former military men know the answer to that one "Xo excuse, In the Gazette news room, an office punster had another answer "Just shows that not even the Gazette Is So back to the weather. It's more of the same in Reno, with high cloudiness and a very small chance for an afternoon shower the weather man says.

The plans to use the new voting machines, purchased two years ago by the county, in city elections in the Spring. AGREE TO 3IEET Commissioners had agreed to meet with the city to discuss rental fees after County Clerk Harry K.

Brown noted that ren tal fees are used in other cities and counties to pay off voting machine costs. Brown noted Sat urday that in San Francisco machines are rented to private organizations for $10 per ma chine. Commissioner Raymond Ca purro said the city might save as much as $25,000 in the pri mary election in May and the general election in June. The county should get half of that for machine rentals, Capurro felt. Not so, Gill said today.

He explained that the city spent a total of $9640 for the two elections in 1955. Machines would cut that cost in half in 1959 Kinnison said the city has $20,000 budgeted for election expenses witn coara woricers fees (which should be half of the $9640 cost this time) com ing out of that amount. Gill then pointed out that the city shouldn't have to pay for those machines at all. He said the citizens of Reno already are paying voting machine costs in the form of ad valorem taxes. Mayor Harris agreed.

don't think we should pay any thing." PRINXIPLE APPLIES Francovich also agreed. "It's my opinion that the process of holding and paying for elections always comes out of ad valorem taxes and this applies here. Just because machines are a more expensive method of conducting an election that doesn't change the principle of those machines." Kinnison noted that "I'm not adverse to dealing with the county because they may have honest expenses. I might even agree to pay a reasonable fee for expenses incurred. But peo ple in Reno make up the largest part of county voters.

They shouldn't have to amortize the cost of the machines twice." Brown today said the quoted rental fee of possibly one half of $25,000, some $12,000, was "ridiculous." He noted also that a $10 per-machine fee would be too low a rental. He has suggested a meeting with city officials to figure out costs and to arrive at a reasonable rental. The city will need roughly 50 machines for all six wards, Gill said today. gas, No funds request-(will ed for school at Elko until struc for No Wholesale' State Firings Says Sawyer State employes need not fear wholesale and indiscriminate uuuigs ii ne is eiccxea governor. ri i i in the state administration.
