NORTH STAR
HIGHWAY LINE-UP
IS NOW ASSURED
MORRILL COUNTY COMMISSION
ERS APPROVE ROUTE.
sk Assistance of State Engineer in
Deciding In-ation of Road from
Angora to Alliance.
The long-awaited meeting of the
IMorrill county commissioners, held at
Bridgeport on Tuesday, resulted in up
setting some of the dope sheets. The
three commissioners with little or no
-delay and an almost entire absence of
oratorical persuasion, voted unani
mously to approve the North Star
route through that county as road No.
1 to receive state aid, and then desig
nated the G-P-C route, which goes
through Broadwater, as route No. 2.
.State Engineer Johnson is requested
by the resolution to lend his assistance
in selecting the most feasible route
between Angora and Alliance.
"; It was the series of North Star road
meetings that is believed to have turn
ed the trick, although the Bridgeport
Toad boosters, who include among their
"number practically every citizen of the
Morrill county-seat, aside from the
rmetery, did yeoman service in behalf
-of their road. Despite the fact that
undictions were that their road would
not be approved, somebody, believed to
.i;ve been Mark Spanogle and a bunch
of Bridgeport boosters, got on the job
and won an easy victory a victory
That is not only highly pleasing1 to
very town along the North Star route,
hut is also satisfactory to the G-P-C
boosters.
The Morrill county commissioners
unanimously approved the following
Tesoation: m
The Resolution.
WHEREAS, The North Star High
way Association of the State of Ne
braska has designated and established

She was a resident of Crawford, Neb.,

a son and daughter, who came to the
city when summoned by a physician.
Mrs. Sowers was a Nebraska pioneer,

iro from Vireinia.

ity Manager's Corner
(By N. A. KEMM1SH)
Yesterday we received and filed for
the city a deed from the Lincoln land
company for Mississippi avenue ex
tending from Seventh to Tenth streets,
also the alley between Missouri avenue
and Mississippi avenue extending
from Seventh to Tenth avenue; also
the one-half block of streets on Eighth
and Ninth avnues from hte alley ex
tending to Mississippi avenue. This
deed should have been gotten over ten
years ago or else the property platted.
This clears up the title to ihis land
as it should be so that now we can
proceed with our work of laying the
water main extension on Mississippi
avenue.
We could not get Belmont addition
to check out with the original town
survey so had to lay the main on Mis
sissippi avenue in accordance with the
original town survey. We hope to
have the main completed on Yellow
stone, Missouri, Tenth street and
Fourth street extending into Duncan's
addition by Saturday evening. We
will then be ready to start on a short
stretch on Mississippi avenue.
School is now in full swing in the
c;ty hall and the rooms are light and
airy and are splendid for school pur
poses. We have made our changes in the
fire department so that we now have
one man on all of the time for which
we pay him $100 per month and fur
nish living quarters,, rough dry wash
ing and electricity for cooking as we
do not want any fires in the city hall
building especially while school is
goin on. The school also pays him $25
per month for doing their janitor serv
ice. This makes quite a reduction in
the expense of our fire department, in
fact it reduces it from $3,000 a year
to $1,200 per year for wage3 alone in
this department.

County Attorney Lee Basye haa
commenced action under the state
prohibitory law to bring about the
closing of the so-called Rodgers room
ing house, operated by Mrs. Minnie
Rosetta in the building owned by
Former Mayor A. D. Rodgers. The
county attorney will ask for a tem
porary injunction to prevent the place
from running until the next regular
term of district court, which convenes
in Alliance, December 12. At th.it
time decision will be made as to the
advisability of asking the court to
make the injunction permanent.
Under the prohibitory law, one of
fense is sufficient grounds for officials
to ask that a rooming house be closed.
Mrs. Rosetta, on June 18 of this year,
pleaded guilty to selling intoxicating
liquor, and paid a tine of $100 and
costs. Last .Monday evening the
place was again raided and a quan

CLEAN-UP SQUAD
FINISHES WORK
IN ALLIANCE
SEVENTY-FOUR SOLDIERS FILE
THEIR APPLICATIONS.
The Government War Risk Officials
Expedite Work of Caring for
the Disabled.
Labor day furnished the largest
number of ex-soldiers for the- govern
ment "flying squadron", who spent
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday fore
noon in this city, taking cair of claims
of wounded and disabled service men
who made out applications for com
pensation, increase in compensation or
federal vocational training, rorty men
came to Alliance from the five coun
ties "in this territory, and the day un
a half following thirty-four others
came in to make applications of one
sort and another.
Due to a mi.-understanding as to the
work the clean-up squad was exjweted
to do, there was at first a feeling of
disappointment on the part of the ex
soldiers, the Red Cross and the sol
diers' organization, the American Le
gion. The first reports that were sent
out were to the effect that the squad
wai possessed pf ample authority to
receive claims, pass upon them finally
at once, and immediately notify the
claimants whether they would receive
aid, and if so, just what would be done
for them.
Actually, the squad is not intended
to take the place of the regular bu
reau officials, and their work is large
ly that of expediting the claims.
Heretofore the Red Cross and in some
places the American Legion have been
making out the claims, and usually it
required two or three months, even
under the most favorable circumstan
ces, to get definite action. . At Alli
ance, the clean-up squad was compos
ed of men who had to give their ap
proval under the old method of handl
ing claims, and if nothing more was
accomplished, this much of the delay
was eliminated. If there was any
question as to the claims, the physi
cians with the squad gave a" medical
examination right on the spot, and
were not compelled to base their decis
ions on the various reports, 83 hercto-
While the squad did not in any event
finally pass on the claims and actually
award compensation, they were able to
tell the apolicants the recommenda-
! tions that, were made. In one or two
instances, in Alliance, and the nearby
counties, men who have been trying to
get an award of compensation by the
old red tape method for months were
able to get assurance that their claims
would be sent in for immediate aen
tiMi. with a favorable recommendation.
When it was fully understood that
the squad was really hurrying up
claims, and that through their visit in
all nrobabilitv several months time
unll hft saved for some of the claim
ants, the various organizations which
have co-operated with the government
in the drive have felt a whole lot bet

ALLIANCE MEN
TALK RECALL OF
COMMISSIONER
DISS ATIS FACTION OV ER
R ELL'S ACTIONS,
CAR-
State Law on the Subject, Shows
There Is No Way to Put Question
Up to the Voters.
During the past two or three days,
ever since the report reached Alliance
that Commissioner George Carrell of
HemniM'onl was working against this
city at Bridgeport Tuesday, there has
tw-en a considrable amount oi talk
about getting out recall petitions for
hini.f One or two men have aid they
will cheerfully pass around petitions
asking that a stiectal election be
called to say whether he shall continue
to hold otfice.
There are said to be several reasons.
ttoide 1'iom the Hemingford man's re
ported opposition to Alliance having a
olaco on the North Mar norm and
south transcontinental highway, which
havtfi served to arouse sentiment
airainot him. Several of these were
discussed in an article which appeared
in The Herald two or three weeks ago.
Talk began when through an error,
Mr. Carroll presented to the board or
commissioners a personal bill, which
was O. K.'d by his colleagues without
question after he had personally ap
proved it When the mistake was
caueht by the county clerk, Mr. Car
rell immediately straightened it up.
Thn other kicks began to come in,
and these were from his home town,
Hemingford. It was reported that ne
had used a truck belonging to tne
county to haul his spuds to the tracks
for loading; that ne nati permuieu me
grading of a lane on the Hucke ranch
bv a road irradlng gang under nis
supervision, and that he had graded a
county road out to his house.
Carrell'a Explanation.
Mi. Carroll figured that these com
plaints were too childish to be taken
seriously, and waxed rather humorouj
in his reference to them. He explain
ed that he had often worked for the
county without putting in a bill, and
figured that he was justified in using a
count yvU'vk if he made up for its use
in this.way. He declared that the road
gang had graded the lane on the Hucke
place of their own volition, and that he
was willing that they should run the
grader over the two blocks in return
for water taken from the place. As to
the third chargi
that he had graded
a road to his own house he declared '
cnai me roaa gang nati uone inn
without his knowledge, when he was
out of the city.
Recently the members of the road
gang came back and issued a general
denial, according to an Alliance news
paier which published an interview
with them. The members of the grad
ing gang are quoted as saying that
Carrell tried to make them the goat,
bnd that they graded the road past his
place under his personal supervision
and under direct orders from him.
They say further that the lane to the
Fucke place was gTaded by Carrell'a
orders, and quote the Hemingford man
as saying, when Hucke offered to pay
for it, that the county could stand the
ex pen; e.
The one thing that roused the most
ire on the part of the Hemingford and
Alliance objectors, it is sa'd, is Car
roll's reported statement that he was
going to run things in his district to
suit Minseir, and in cirect mat uiose
v,ho didn't like it were privileged to
lump it.
IUraII Requirement
An ! so the talk of recalling the
Hemingford commissioner started.
Like most cases of the k;nd, there is a
very loose idea of what th require
ments are for a recall. Under the
statute permitting the adoption of a
city manager form of government,
there are definite provisions for call-1
ing a recall election, and preparing a
jietition. Somehow or other, the idoa
ha-i gained gTound that similar ru'es
apply in the cae of county commis
sioners. But this impression is wrong. This
state has the initiative and referen
dum, as applied to legislation, but not
the recall save in special cases, accord
ing to Alliance attorneys. Under the
exiting law, as set forth in Article XV
of the tate statutes, county otricers
may be removed by bringing charges
against tiem and after a Bearing in
district court
The recall Is intended to furnish a
ready means of removing public serv
ants. In thestates where it j in use,
it doert not carry with it any tgigma,
but is taken simply as an incation
that the man recalled does not suit a
majority of the electors.
Under the Nebraska law, however,
there are only certain reasons for
which a county officer may be ousted,
and then only after trial in district
court and the proving of the case. It
cannot be done by the electors at a re
call election. Causes for removal a.e
(1) Habitual or wilful neglect of doty;
(2) gross1 partiality; (3) oppression;
(4) extortion; (5) corruption; (6)
wilful maladministration in office; (7)
conviction of a felony, and (8) habit
ual drunkenness.
No other grounds!
are admissible.
Chafes may be filed by any citizen

of the county, according to the law.
Just what cllVct an understanding of
the provisions of the law may have on
the men who are talking recull re
mains to be seen.

committee appointed in July to con
sider the feasibility of the plan to tr
rlgate some twenty thousand acren f
Hox llutte county land from the Nio

ject was explained by R. E, Knigtit
who told of a survey made prior to tit
war, and that the state engineer at
one time had endorsed the scheme.
The Rotary club committee took th
matter up with Congressman KJnkaJdL
whose judgment is that the present n
a quite unpropitious time to go ahead
with the plan, inasmuch as the recla
mation service has demands already
made upon it that will require mora
money than is now at their dis
posal, and the heavy indebtedness of
the government would preclude tho
passage of special legislation requir
ing any great appropriation.
Congressman Kinkaid calls atten

Harvey Berry, captured by city and .

Rosetta rooming house last Monday
evening, was the first one of the nine
taken in the raid to get his case before
County Judge Tash. Wednesday morn

of 1 10 and costs. This is tho lowest

on an intoxication charge in the ja&V
