From Wednesday's Daily The annual meeting of the board of county commissioners at the court house yesterday was filled with a great deal of business in connection with the opening of the year's busi ness that will be handled by the county in 1927. The Cass County Farm bureau made their report of the expenditures for the year 1926 as $3,500 and also the sum of $3,500 for the use of the bureau for 1927. The county board in selecting a member of the soldier's relief com mission, took recognition of the world war veterans by naming for the position on the commission Joseph A. Capwell of this city. Mr Capwell has had a great deal of claims of the veterans of the civil war to handle and has been more than usually successful in this line of work and is familiar with the needs of the veterans and the war widows, who are looked after through the commission. The advanced age of the civil war veterans has made it difficult for them to carry on the activities of the commission to a great extent, especially in this part of the county. The petition of the residents of ; Eight Mile Grove precinct was re ceiveu asking for the granting or a license to S. J. Reams to operate a pool hall at Cedar Creek and was granted by the board. I The commissioners also set the ; price for county road work and drag ging as follows: Road overseer, 35 per hour; man, single hand. 30c team, 20c; man and team, 45c; 11 foot drag, or over, 80c per mile; 10 foot drag, 75c per mile; S foot drag, per mile, 65c! under 8 feet, 50c per , mile. j There was no change made in the 'estimate for the clerk hire for the j county officers for the year 1927. I The request of the county assessor jfor the sum of $200 for clerk hire jfor the year was granted and the (county assessor also named the asses- j sors for Weeping Water and Platts mouth cities as follows, Henry Snell 'Weeping Water; J. A. Pitz and Joseph Hadraba, Plattsmouth. The estimate for the expenditures ; for the year 1927 was adopted as follows: General fund $64,000 Bridge fund 50,000 Road fund 56,000 Mother's Pension 5,500 Soldier's Relief 1,200 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE FARMERS STATE BANK of Plattsmouth, Nebr.

The liability companies must file with the department of insurance classifications and rates, to be ap proved by the commissioner, with provisions for a hearing. The bill covers trucks and motorcycles as well as automobiles and no one can get a license unless he can show a certificate that he has taken out In surance. Representatives O'Malley, Browr and Jonstone united In two bills -intended to prevent discriminatory prices being paid for butterfat and cream and make the measure of dif ference in freight cost. The present proviso of "with Intent to destroy competition" being eliminated. The bills were drawn by Attorney Gener al Spillman. - - Representative Drusedow has one requiring soft drink parlors to take out licenses and puts them under re gulations similar to those the saloonf once worked under. - He would close them between 10 o'clock at night and 6 in the morning, limited to a single room with no curtains and makes li cense forefeited If drinking of intox icants is allowed therein.'

ENJOYS PLEASANT MEETING From Wednesday's Daily The Woman's Business association held a very pleasant meeting last evening at the home of Mrs. Thomas Walling on West Main street and which was one of the most largely at tended meetings of the winter season. Tne business meeting was in charge of Mrs. Ray McMaken and after the close of the regular, session the ladies spent some time in' enjoying cards, From Wednesday's nally This morning in the district court an action was filed entitled Theodore P. Livingston vs. George O. Dovey and others, the action involving the question of the ownership of a tract of land in the province of Alberta, Canada. The petition asks that the defend ants George O. Dovey, Hallie P. Dovey, the First National bank and Fred Buerstetta, receiver, be enjoin ed from deeding, transfering or oth erwise conveying the land in ques tion known as the northwest quar ter, section 16, township 23, range 22, all in the province of Alberta, Canada. The plaintiff states in the petition that he had purchased the land years ago and that at a later period the defendant, G. O. Dovey had stated that he could better look after the payment of taxes and care of the farm for the plaintiff if the same was placed in the name of the defendant by the" plaintiff. Plaintiff further states that he had known the de fendant Dovey for the lifetime of the defendant and believing him to be trustworthy, had made transfer to the defendant without any money consideration. Plaintiff further states that he understands that the de fendant Dovey now assumes to own the said tract of land that'the plain tiff claims, and has, or threatens to convey the same to the First Na tional bank. The plaintiff further claims that the defendant has re ceived the benefits of said land and not the plaintiff. It is asked that the conveyance to the defendant G. O. Dovey be declared void and set aside and the right of the plaintiff to the land be restored. The hearing of this suit for a res training order and transfer of title will be heard on Friday.
