Puett's Stance on County Division in 1920 Nevada
Carlin editor Puett discusses his evolving position on Eureka County's possible county division, denying current support while opposing Elko’s division proposal. He cites transportation taxation, railroad access, and potential boundary changes with Humboldt or Lander as influencing factors, and notes he would favor a merger that benefits both Elko and Eureka counties, with careful consideration of tax equity and regional interests.
