Fees in Some
County Offices
Self-Sustaining
Quarterly Reports Tiled with Com
missioners Show Nice Return
Above Salaries Paid.
Quarterly reports of the different
ounty officers were filed with the
County Commissioners at their July
.meetings held on the 7th and 8th.
The office of County Judge yielded
ly far the largest return, with the
revenue derived from various fees
Loins well in excess of the salaries
paid and other costs of office main
tenance. For this second quarter,
the revenue derived was $1,112.95
slightly below the average, which
has run around $3,000 a year thru
rut the past decade.
Offices of lcrk of the District
Cut: rt and Register or Deeds also
yielded fee returns commensurate
with the salaries paid, in the sums of
732.05 and $671.05, respective.
The fee return from the County
Clerk's office for this same period
amounted to $321.85 and, that from
the office of County Sheriff to $1S4.
73, according to the reports filed
by the respective officers.
The Commissioners appointed Jas.
Hoschar as road overseer for road
district No. 10. to succeed Herman
Wohlfarth, resigned, and also ap
proved his official hond.
The County Superintendent filed
a certificate for free high school levy
for the year 1936-37. showing that
the sun; of $32,544.00 will be re
quired to pay high school tuition for
4 02 qualified pupils. As the valua
tion on which the high school tuition
levy is based was not available, the
levy could not be made by the County
Hoard and was left to be certified f Plattsmouth Journal, print
mg and supplies
later by the County Superintendent
oT Schools, as provided by law.
A resolution was passed approving
substitution of securities by the Mur
ray State Dank, furnished as collat
eral to secure deposits made by the
county in said bank.
A petition signed by more than
51 per cent of the resident freehold
ess of South Bend precinct, asking
for a nine-tenths mill levy (or less)
for one year, to meet half the cost
o!' graveling 2'i miles of road in
said precinct, with the county con
tributing the other half, as per a
resolution passed in 192S, was ap
proved. A similar petition from residents
of Center precinct, calling for a levy
r.ot to exceed one mill for graveling
three miles of road in that precinct
inider like conditions, was also ap
proved by the Commissioners.
The balance of the two-day ses
rion was spent in consideration and

Tha shrieks of the fire whistle at

broken out.
Walter Gibbon of Comstock, head
of the Middle Loup project, was in
Burwell and received a telegram
from Washington announcing the vic
tory. Kardenbrook released the news
at Ord after receiving a telegram
from his district's attorney in Wash
ington and a celebration quickly

streets with banners, rang bells,
tooted horns and a carnival spirit
prevailed in the valleys as the news
spread.
In Loup City, Outhouse and other
leading citizens cautioned against a
celebration until all papers on the
negotiations were signed. Residents
of that city were happy but avoided
the noisy demonstrations as were
held at other points. They plan a
big celebration next Wednesday and

ACTORS HAVE A GRIEVANCE
Boston. Harry Lewin, an attor
ney representing a group of dis
charged WPA actors, took to Wash

formance by youthful actresses at a
private stag party and enforced ap
pearance over private radio programs.
He announced he had taken his case
directly to Harry L. Hopkins, fed
eral works pfogress administrator.
The stories the discharged actors
told him, he said, included one of
several girls who, instructed to re
port to a hotel room for a "style
show" found on arrival "a lot of fed
eral men drinking liquor." Others
charged, Lewin asserted, they were
dispatched to do bits on private radio
programs for which they received r.o
remuneration. " -

that, facd with the necessity of cut

Situation Not
So Serious as
in 1834, Said
Farmers Are Going After the Feed
Problem in a Business Like
Manner This Year.
Kansas City. E. O. Pollock, in
charge of the federal livestock feed
agency here, said his office had listed
189,000 carlots of hay and other
roughage available for farmers in
the nation's drouth sections.
Asserting the feed situation as
present is much more encouraging
than during the drouth of two years
ago. Pollock pointed out that the
largest listing made in 1934 was 162,
S41 cars, compiled in October of that
year.
"The farmers are going at the mat
ter cf preserving feed supplies in a
business like manner," Pollock re
ported. "They are saving all of their
grain straw, planning to conserve as
much corn fodder as possible and
will plant quick growing annual for
ages, if rain conies before the 20th
of this month."
Pollock predicted "relatively high"
prices of feeds "will result in heavy
liquidation of livestock."
"It has been reported from re
liable sources," he said, "that about
630,000 head of cattle and 1.200.
000 head of sheep will be liquidated
in the states of Wyoming, Montana
and North and South Dakota."
