To the Honorable Board of Super
visors </f Holt County, Nebraska:
MOTION
Now comes School District No. 142
of Holt County, Nebraska, by Roy
Lowery, its Treasurer, and moves
this Honorable Board to vacate and
set aside the Order made by it on the
9th day of July, 1929, between “Dis
trict No. 13 and No. 142,' ’and to
grant a re-hearing in snid matter for
the following reasons:
I.
Because said Order is indefinite
and gives no specific direction as to
what shall be done.
II.
Because the action of the Board
was taken merely upon motion by
McKim, seconded by Gibson, that the
value of the Northern Nebraska
Power Plant be divided equally "be
tween District No. 13 and No. 142.”
III.
Because said Motion does not show
what is meant by “District No. 13
and No. 142.”
IV.
That if “District No. 13 and No.
142” were intended for school dist
ricts, then they should have their
legal designations, which they did
not attain orreceive in the Motion or
Resolution or this Honorable Board.
V.
Because every school district is a
municipal corporation, and is a legal
entity under the law of this state,
and when action is taken in behalf
of or against any school district,
said school district must be designat
ed by its number and the county in
which it is located, and it cannot be

What the \.\ 'y
MARLAND CONTINENTAL *JMerger
MEANS TO MOTORISTS
THE consolidation of the resources and facilities of the
Mar land Companies and the Continental Oil Company,
under the latter’s name, is more than a corporate merger.
It is a happy union of well balanced production, manufac
turing and marketing operations from which will come a
host of unusual advantages to the millions of customers and
thousands of distributors.
Wide Field for Crude Selection
Out of a total area of more than two and one quarter million
acres in eight states, Continental selects the crudes best
suited for its manufactured products. Raw materials for oils,
greases and gasolines may often come from widely sepa
rated regions. Continental controls its own crude supply and
chooses the best for each redoing operation and thus assures
a standard uniform output from year to year.
Strategic Location of Eight Refineries
Economical and efficient operation of petroleum manufaC
^^efrec^jn^j^^^^^pmiMthjMelativHocationso^hcraw
product, the refinery and the market. Continental is fortu
nate in that its eight modern manufacturing plants ate well
placed to afford prompt and economical delivery both before
and after refinement. These properties arc located at Bald- j
more, Maryland; Ponca City and Sapulpa, Oklahoma; Artesia
and Farmington, New Mexicb; Wichita Falls, Texas;
Florence, Colorado; and Glcnrock, Wyoming.
Exclusive Processes Insure High Quality
Continental refinery engineers enjoy a. national reputation
in the oil business. Not only have they adopted the newesr
and most efficient mechanical equipment for these big refin
eries but they have designed machinery and developed pro
cesses which are exclusive to this company. Under centralised
control, these facilities now arc made available in the manu
facture of petroleum products of exceptional quality.
Conocoland Covers Tremendous Area
More than forty years marketing experience has spread
the distribution of Conoco products over an area which
reaches from the western slope of the Rockies, far east to the
Mississippi River. Practically half of the United States is
dotted so closely with Conoco Stations that a motorist may
drive anywhere in that tremendous area without introducing
other than Conoco products to his car. The outposts of
Conocoland range from the Pacific Noahwcst to the shores
of the Great Lakes and from the Atlantic Seaboard to the
California boundary. ^
Prestige Established in Foreign Lands
The Continental coastwise and export fleet operate from
terminals at Texas City.Texas; Newark, New Jersey; Balti
more, Maryland; and Norfolk, Virginia; to a dozen foreign
countries. Petrol pumps deliver Conoco gasoline to auto
raobilists in the shires of England and Conoco motor oils
lubricate industrial planes in north Europe, South America
and the Orient.
In brief, the joined forces of these two great companies
afford greater, better service to the users of motor fuels and
lubricants wherever the sign of the RedTriangle is displayed.

sued, or any action cannot be taken
against it in any other way than as
herein designated, which is the desig
nation given by the Statute of this
State.
VI.
Because “District No. 13 and No.
142" do not show what kind of Dist
ricts they refer to, or khere the dist
ricts are located, or the object arn^
purpose of th districts, or the crea
tion thereof.
VII.
Because if “District No. 13 and 142
are irrigation districts, this Honor
able Board would have no power or
authority to make any order in the
premises, such as made in this mat
ter, and there is nothing to show,
either by motion or order, what kind
off districts are meant by District
No. 13 and No. 142."
VIII.
Because if this Honorable Board
attempted to make an order in rela
tion to School District No. 142 of
Holt County, Nebraska, and School
District No. 13 of Holt County, Ne
braska, then they were without auth
ority to make any such an order
purely upon motion, such as the rec
ord in this case shows their order
was made on.
IX.
Because all of the Northern Nebr
aska Power Plant and the property
thereunto belonging, which is situ
ated in Holt. County, Nebraska, is all
situated in School District No. 142
of Holt County, Nebraska.
X.
Because no part of the Northern
Nebraska Power Plant or any of its
property is located or situated in
School District No. 13 or Holt Coun
ty, Nebraska.
XI.

no jurisdiction, power or authority
to divide the value of the Northern
Nebraska Power Plant and the prop
erty thereunto belonging for taxa
tion purposes equalfe between School
District No. 142 of Holt County, Ne
braska and School District No. 13 of
Holt County, Nebraska, for the reas
on that no part of said property is
located or situated in School Dist
rict No. 13 of Holt County, Nebras
ka.
XII.
Because this Honorable Board has
no p|ower, right or authority to give
one-half of the value of certain prop
erty situate in School District No.
142 of Tolt County, Nebraska, in tax
es derived therefrom to School Dist
rict No. 13 of Holt County, Nebras
ka.
XIII.
Because the division lien between
School District No. 142 of Holt Coun
ty, Nebraska, and School District No.
13 of Holt County, Nebraska, has
been duly surveyed by the Surveyor
of Holt County, Nebraska, and the
line running North and South be
tween said School Districts has been
fully established, and that said line
or division between said School Dis
trict No. 112 of Holt County, Nebr
aska and School District No. 13 of
Holt County, Nebraska, is located
East of the East side of the North
ern Nebraska Power Plant, and is
East of any property owned by said
Northern Nebraska Power Plant, and
all of said Northern Nebraska Power
Plant and its property thereunto be
longing which is situated in Holt
County, Nebraska, is located in
School District No. 142 of Holt Coun
ty, Nebraska, and no part thereof is
located in School District No. 13 of
Holt County, Nebraska; and that by
reason of these facts, this Honor
able Board has no right or author
ity to take the property or the value
thereof of the Northern Nebraska
Power Plant for taxation purposes
away from School District No. 142
of Holt County, Nebraska, and set
it over and give it for taxation pur
poses to School District No. 13 of
Holt County, Nebraska.

to collect taxes from any property
except property located in said
School District No. 13 of Holt Coun
ty, Nebraska, and no part of the
property of the Northern Nebraska

District No. 13 of Holt County, Ne
braska.
