Lll XO. 6 NEMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1907 A- 1X.1,1 Jni.il r,ALtt-i . v. litefttlef V Annual School Meeting The annual school meeting1 Monday night was quite exciting at times, and as one who was then said, "There was something doing all the time, .from start to finish." After the reading of the min utes of the last meeting, the reports of the secretary, treas urer and president of the school board were read As there was some differences in the reports, a motion was made and carried to have the chairman appoint an auditing committee. A. R. Mc Candless, Frank Titus and J. W. Sapp were appointed such com mittee. Thereports caused some discussion and considerable warmth was exhibited at times by some of the participants. The question of putting in a heating plant was then brought before the meeting. It was raining by this time, and many of the voters had gone home. After some talk and an explana tion of the plans by the chair man, John M. Clark, a motion was adopted to open the sealed bids in the hands of the school board. Three bids' were sub mitted, one from a Lincoln firm, one from Elmer Dovel of Au burn, and one from Worth & Winterbottom of Falls City, the latter being the lowest It was estimated that the heating plant and work to be done by the dis trict would cost $850 or $900. A motion was made that the school board be instructed to put in a, heating plant. u-This caused moire discussion, but was finally carried by a vote of 10 to 2. A subsequent motion stated that the plant was to be steam heat ing, and was carried. It was voted that we have a nine months' school, beginning the first Monday in September. A motion was made that the school be given one day's holiday during the county fair and two days at Thanksgiving, the teach ers to be paid for these days. This motion also carried. The director's estimate of ex penses for running the school next year was $1544. To this would have to be added the ex pense of putting in the heating i -a a v plant, probably costing $sou or $900, and some additional expense for a janitor. According to the director's report, there was a balance on hand of $609, and over $800 in the county treasury, making nearly -$1450 on hand. A motion was made and carried making the estimated revenue needed by the district above the amount on hand of $1500. There were three members of the school board to elect, John Mt Clark and C. L. Russell being the retiring members, and a va cancy existing caused by the failure of Elmer E. Allen, who was elected last year, to qualify. John M. Clark was reelected oh the first formal ballot to succeed himself. JShubert Fruit Farm Sold CMner Bamcs Pays $125 per Acre for it Casner - Barnes this week bought the Shubert fruit farm of 80 acres, one miles south of Bracken, paying $125 per acre for it. This is probably the highest price paid for a farm in Nemaha county as far away from a town as this. It is nearly five milesfrom Nemaha, eight from Auburn and four miles from Howe. The farm, however, is a fine one. The orchard 'is well selected and haj been carefully cared for. It is one of the very best commercial orchards in the state. The house is one of the best constructed and most con venient houses in the county. This is almost an ideal home, and Mr. Barnes and his good wife can enjoy themselves in their old age. The farm was owned by Lee Shubert, having been transferred to him by his father, H. W. Shubert, about two years ago. Possession is given in six weeks and Mr. Barnes will move on it at that time. We have not learned where Mr. Shubert will move. This farm was formerly owned by Mr. Barnes' brother, I. B. Barnes, who planted the first orchard about twenty-five years ago, afterward selling it to Mr. Shubert." Mr. Shubert still owns the eighty acre fruit farm on the north side of the road. For many; years Bvbwnville and London precincts have been la boring under a heavy tax to pay bonds for a railroad they never got. But finally daylight has come. The bonds have been paid, and more than paid, and now there is about $7,000 in the treasury after all the bonds have been paid. It was at first pro posed to return the money over paid to these precincts to be used by the schools and road districts, but many of the tax payers petitioned the commis sioners to have this money re turned to those paying it, and at the meeting recently, the board decided to pay back 75 per cent of this money overpaid. Years ago, when it looked' like a long time - until the bonds would be paid, if ever, it was proposed if that happy time ever arrived that a big barbecue be given, and there is now talk of celebrating the event in that way. The Miter was Right At the school meeting Monday night the question was raised as to who made the levy for schoot purposes. It was agreed that at the annual school meeting the amount of money necessary to run the school for the next year should be voted and this amount reported to the county superin tendent or county clerk. Some said the superintendent made the levy, others said it was the coun ty clerk. The editor of this family necessity said the levy was made by the county commis sioners, but was told by two ex county commissioners that he knew nothing about it that the commissioners had nothing to do with it. The editor insisted that under the new school law it was the commissioners that made the levy but appeared to be alone in this opinion. In order to prove his position he wrote to the county clerk and got the follow ing reply from the county super intendent:' "At the annual meeting the amount of money necessary to run the school for the current year should have been estimated and reported to me or the county clerks. The county commissioners make the levy." J. W." Soden of Laird, Colo., was in Nemaha part of Tuesday and Wednesday, talking western land.
