Ilpolel, Crosby St Baskins hand in
report of findings In regard to legal
methods of raising funds for repair
ing bridges and culverts. .Tho opin
ion follows:
S. M. Souder,
North Platte, Nebraska
Dear Sir:
Having examined our Statutoa
with relation to the question ' of
bridges in thlB County and ropairs
which were to be made In connec
tion with the County Bond Issue,. we
find thao following to be true:
Section 2973 tho Revised Statu
tes for 1013 provides as to when an
emorgoncy exists and provides that
the County Board shall have power
to declare that the public good re
quires Immediate action to prevent
Inconveniences and damages and
can proceed to enter Into construc
tion, reconstruction, or repair of
bridges under that section. The
next section, however, being Section
2974, provides as from where tho
funds to make such ropalrB shall
come. This Section provides as
follows: "Tho cost of the work
performed under any contract en
tered Into under tho provisions of
the proceeding section shall be paid
for rrom monoy belonging to the
district in which tho work Is per
formed, or if that be insufficient,
tho balanco shall be paid from the
County Road Fund." . There is a
proviso following ,this with regard
to bonds. It 1b our opinion that
under tho emergency section and
the following section that tho
County Board la authorized only
to uso such money as may .belong to
the District In
located.
covers only cash which may
on hand In that fund and 85 por'Jtiton
1913 provides for tho creation' of an
oniergoncy bridge fund. It ' nilwht
be that tho County Commlatilonors
of this County could uso tnd provi
sions or that Section for raising tho
funds as provided therein and In tho
following section, but It In our un-
dcrstandtn that the County Comm-
lf8ionor levy thp full amount for
general County purposes and they
havo no authority whatsoever to
levy any f minor funds, except upon
a volo taken under tho provisions
of Soctlc.i !)f,5 to 9 CO of tho Rnised
Statu tC3 tnf the year 191 'J Under
this Siatnte it Is rfrmly our opinion
that tho County Cominlssior.ji! can
not ortat' a l emorgonc l intl, ox
er; t 13 vtty let; tho sa m on.
nr ul y ) u exist or lor . ' v
levy l-:is l tn made, and tlnuo fitnln
nui.t !') Prst from in? Twiner in
which the bridge Ib loca' 1 . i I .1" it
Is found to be Insufficient, then It
must come form tho County Road
Fund, and thero bolng no further
provisions of tho law for the raising
of any funds, wo believe that the
County Commissioners would be In
dividually liable for tho expenditure
of any further moneys than those
provided ror in that Article, and
that tho County Treasurer, ir ho
caBhed warrants upon other runds
than the funds specified herein,
would be entitled to credit for these
warrants.
Respectfully yours,
Beelor, Crosby & Baskins,
Attorneys.

To displace these batteries, Prest-O-Lite had

Manufacturers were naturally reluctant to
