Pittman Seeks Nevada Internal Revenue District Status
June 11 1917 Elko Independent reports Senator Key Pittman says he is flooded with letters urging creation of an additional Internal Revenue District with Nevada as the center. He cannot answer all requests but is advancing the matter after sending a letter to the secretary of the treasury. He notes Washoe County draft odds and registered numbers, with 107 men needed for the first increment of 500000 and actual registrations creating 22 to 1 odds.
