file for the depositing of county
money. And that he give this board
his opinion in writing within five
days, as to their legality and if in his
opinion the bonds are legal. Also,
that he advise us by his opinion in
writing whether or not the board has
the legal right to disregard the bids
now on file and solicit bids from
banks outside of the county that are
not public depositaries in their respec
tive counties that will pay at least
three per cent interest on county
deposits. And, whereas County At
torney Mullen has reported on the
legality of said banks only. And on
the 24th day of January, 1906, filed
with the county clerk what he reports
to be a copy of a letter written by the
attorney general to W. I. Allen,
County Attorney of Colfax county,
Nebraska. And, whereas County At
torney has not given this board his
opinion in writing on this question.
Therefore, be it resolved by this
board that County Attorney Mullen,
within three days give this board his
opinion in writing on said question,
this board deserving the opinion of
our county attorney and legal adviser,
and not that of the attorney general
or any attorney. Conrad Kramer,

To the County Board of Holt county,
O’Neill, Nebraska; Gentlemen: I
have examined the bonds of the fol
lowing banks, to-wit: The Chambers
State bank, Citizens bank, Ewing
State bank, First National bank of
Atkinson, First National bank of
O’Neill, Inman State bank and tbe
O’Neill National bank. These bonds
are regular in form. The following
banks have failed to annex tbe cor
porate seal to the bonds executed by
them: Chambers State bankt First
National bank of Atkinson, First
National bank of O’Neill, Inman
State bank and the O’Neill National
bank. The date of the bond of tiie
Ewing Suite bank is not correct, it is
evidently an error on the part of the
bank, it should be January 4, 190(1,
instead of January 4, 1905. Outside of
these corrections, these bonds appear
regular on their face. If you are In
doubt as to the signatures or the
terms of the bonds you should call
before you the cashiers of the banks
and tiie sureties. Yours respectfully,
Arthur F. Mullen, county attorney.
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of Holt county, Nebraska: Gen
tlemen:—On tiie 18th day of January,

that the county clerk ascertain tiie
rate of interest paid by the banks on

and in the counties along the North
western railroad, as far east as Madi
son and as far west as Dawes counties.
I beg leave to report that I wrote to
the county clerk of the counties men
tioned below and received from them,
replies to the rate of interest paid by
the county depositories in their re
spective counties. The following is a
list of the counties and tiie interest
paid by the depositaries: Garfield, 2;
Brown, 2; Boyd, 2; Knox, 2; Ceder, 2;
Pierce, 2; Box Bute, 2; Stanton, 31:
Keya Paha, 2; Wheeler, 3: Sherdlan,
2: Rock, 2; Antelope, 2; Dawes, 2;
Wayne, 2; Madison, 2. Respectfuly
submitted, W. P. Simar, county clerk.
Mr. Chairman: I move you that
this board refuse to accept or approve
any bank bonds for depositories for
county money at any rate less than 3
percent. O. F. Biglin,
J. C. Clark.
Motion to lay the above on table.
Aye and nay called for, those voting

construction of a bridge across the

range 13. Board reserves ihe right to
reject any or all bids.
L. E. Skidmore,
Rodell Root.
Mr. Chairman: I move you that a
motion to build a bridge across the
Niobrara at a point known as Parshall
crossing be laid on the table, for the
reason that there is no legal petition
before this board asking for a bridge
and for further reason that there is at
present and has been for the past 12
years a bridge across the Niobrara
river two miles above this point, and
for the further reason that present
condition of the bridge fund of this
county will not allow of this unneces
