Den son Surprise Friends. his Streets to Present Real Christmas Cheer Arrangements Being Made for the Placing of Small Trees Along the Main Street. From "Wednesday's Daily Main street of the city will with in the next few days present a real yuletide appearance with the array of small Christmas trees which will be placed in the flag holders at the curb line along the street and be a fitting recognition of the near ap proaching day of universal rejoicing which marks the Christmas time. This custom of having these street trees placed has been in vogue for the past few years and adds very much to the appearance of the street and the general yuletide spirit that prevails at this season of the year. The trees were largely ordered through John Hatt, who has looked after this portion of the holiday pro gram each year and with the result that the street will be very gala with the trees. A number where it is convenient will have the trees decorated up for the event and add to the general interest of the holiday season with the beautifully arranged trees. This is truly one fine way of her alding the Christmas season and one that the general public will appre ciate to the utmost as a part of the general Christmas observance of the city. Jess Wairgsi.

Call No. 6 any time. Secretary George M. Kleidy of the Nebraska Telephone association has been given an opinion by Hugh La Master, attornev of the state railway commission and assistant attorney general to the effect that where a reasonable ground for action exists a county board may consider and enforce the removal of telephone poles and wires from a rural high way, without reimbursement to the company. Mr. LaMaster says that the proper governmental authorities have the right, when public convenience and necessity demands, to force the re moval of such a line, even tho it properly occupies part of the high way, and being the exercise of the police power, there is no reimbuse ment of the company for the expense incurred. He says, however, that a telephone company is mnre than a mere license and that there exists a contractual relation between tho public and the company and thr.w cannot be arbitrarily disregarded. There must be a reasonable ground for' requiring that it be removed. The company is entitled to rea sonable notice to move its line. There is a presumption of law, when the authorities exercise the police power, that it has good reasons therefor and ordinarily a court will not interfere unless the arbitrary character of the action of the public officers clearly appears. In answer to a query as to what portion of a rural highway a tele phone company may occupy with its poles and fixtures. Mr. LaMaster says there is inconsistency in the law, so that the only.jdirect answer that can be given is tliat the poles should be set outside of the portion of the road actually ' irVed for travel and at loast six feet from the, boun dary line. 1 Mr. McMaster also holds that the department of public or no other gov ernmental subdivision can force a telephone company to place a line so that it will trespass upon the land of adjoining owners, but this fact does not prevent the public author ities from using the whole road if necessary for public travel. RETURN DIRECTED VERDICT From Wednesday's Daily The jury in the case of Everett C. Carriker vs. Emmor F. Marshall and Clifford E. Butler, which was on trial in the district court all day yester day returned a directed verdict at 5 o'clock in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendants in the sum of $4C0. The case was trid up until 3 o'clock when the taking of testimony was completed and the mo tion for a directed verdict argued to the court and sustained by Judge Begley, who instructed the jury to find for the plaintiff in the sum named and also placed in the hands of the jury the task of placing the responsibility of the two defend ants. The jury returned at 5 o clock with the verdict in which they found the responsibility to be equally divided between the two defendants. The case was one arising out of a note secured during a land deal be tween Mr. Marshall and a man named Homan. Mr. Homan and Mr. Marshall making a trade of farms and in which Mr. Marshall took back some 514.000 in a mortgage and among which was the note in question and which was placed in' the hands of the Nebraska State bank of Weep ing "Water to secure the release of a chattle mortgage on the property of Mr. Homan and which was necessary to complete the land deal. Later the note was sold by the bank to a Mr. Kennedy and from him the note came into the possession of Mr. Carriker, the plaintiff in the case.
