as every person who had any interest
in the election had ample notice of it
both through the ofTicial publication,
through the publication of the ordin
ance proper, and through the discus
sion which was current in the papers
at the time, and also in view of the
fact that the vote cast was well in line
with that cast at any other special
i&n illegal document that might cause election in the city, in recent years at
andless trouble, in the future. So you ; least, and if my memory serves me

fJully, A. D. RODGKRS,
"Mayor.
City Attorney Metx has written the
1'ollowing opinion, which is in the pos
session of the mayors
Alliance, Neb., Jan. 20, 1921. Hon.
A. D. Rodgers, Mayor. Dear Sir: I
m in receipt of your letter of Janu
1 "ary 18th and am glad Io give you the
opinion which was requested of me by
' Councilman Johnson at the Council
' meeting on January 11th. I presume
that the Alliance Times which you
quote refers to the informal statement
' "which 1 made to both the local papers
' on Friday, January 14th, and which,
as you possibly noticed, wax published
Jy both of the papers.
I am of the opinion that the election
' as held is valid. The act under which
' the election was held, namely Chapter
' 208, Laws of Nebraska, 1917, provides
on Page 498, "Any such election shall
be conducted in accordance with the
general election laws of the state ex
cept as otherwise provided in this act."
I find no provision in thw act covering
the cpuestion of notice Turning to the
general election law I find in connec
tion with municipul elections no pro
vision as to notice although as you
"will possibly recall, I have always ad
vised in the interest of absolute safety
"that the ten day posted notice required
in connection with reneral state and
scounty elections be given. The ordin
ance in question provides for a pub
lished notice for at least thirty days
.before the date of the election in the
Alliance Herald. Although I have not
Jnyself seen the proof of publication I
know, as you do, that the Aotice was
-not published for thirty days.
There is in my mind a big question
whether the provisions of this ordin
ance, so far as they require a publish
ed notice in excess of that which the
igcneral statutes require, is valid, but
State vs. Skirving. 19 Nebr. 497. 27
N. W. 723.
Statte vs. Thayer. 31 Nebr. 82. 47
N. W. 704.
State vs. Lansing, 64 N. W. 1104
(Nebr.)
State vs. Van Camp, 36 Nebr. 91,
54 N. W. 113.
These are cases in which the statute
required a certain notice to be given
and it was held that a failure to com
ply with those requirements was not
fatal.
I will say for your information tnat
I have addressed a letter to the Attor
ney General asking his opinion upon
this question and when it is received,
I shall promptly place it in your
hands.
In vtew of the statements in your
letter I think I am not overstepping
the bounds of propriety when I ran it
to your attention that the primary
election under the plan adopted will
occur on March 15th, that nominations
shall be made in the manner provided
by the act not earlier than forty days
and not later than thirty days before
the election, and I believe ' that the
dates between which petitions can be
received are February 2nd and Febru
ary 12th. There should be, in my
judgment, ten days posted notice of
this election. Yours very truly,
W. R. MKTZ,
City Attorney.
