RESOLUTION
Whereas, a controversy has here
tofore existed between the County of
Holt and the Northern Nebraska
Power Company, growing out of the
matter of construction of a road on
the south bank of the Niobrara river
just south of the present reservoir
of the Northern Nebraska Power Co.
and the vacation of a former public
road along the bottom and across land
I that is covered by the reservoir ol
j said Company,
And whereas, the said Northern
I Nebraska Power Company has now
| submitted to this honorable body a
| proposition of settlement by paying
to the County of Holt the sum of
l $500 for a release and satisfaction of
I all liability and claims which the
! county has, or asserts, against said
i Company in connection with said
matter.
Now, therefore, Mr. Chairman, I
move you that said proposition be,
and the same hereby is accepted and
that the chairman of this board be,
and he hereby is, authorized and di
rected to execute a release and satis
faction of said claim in consideration
of the payment of said $500 into the
County Treasurer by the said power
company.
Hugh L. James.
I second the foregoing resolution.
L. C. McKim
Upon the above resolution being
put to vote it was declared carried
and so ordered.
RESOLUTION
To the Honorable Board of Supervis
ors of Holt County, Nebraska:
You are hereby notified that the
natural flow and drain from sections
33, 34, 27 and 26 in Township 30,
Range 15, is from the southwest to
the northeast and that there is a
natural depression and stream of
water that flows through sections 33
and 34 and 27 and 26 and that said
stream empties into the Elkhorn riv
er in said section 26, in the township
and range aforesaid. That there is a
regular highway running between
sections 27 and 34 in the aforesaid
range and township and running east
and west of said sections 27 and 34
and that said stream and drain of
said water from the southwest to the
northeast and which empties into the
Elkhorn river in section 26, crosses
said highway from section 34 to sec
tion 27 in the aforesaid township and
range and on said highway at the
point where said water flows and
crosses Holt County had built and es
tablished a bridge so as to pemit the
water to follow its natural course and
drain.
That the water flowing in its nat
ural way and across said section line
and through and under said bridge
carried with it, with the spring fresh
ets and rain, sediment that accumu
lated under the bridge and constant
ly kept accumulating until it filled
up under the said bridge so high that
it will not permit the water to fol

ship have dug a ditch along the south
line of the highway east and west
and along the side of said bridge
deeper than the natural drain and
that they, by reason thereof and by
reason of the filling up of the drain
and space under the bridge, it car

south side of said highway and in
large, unusual and great quantities
and said ditch is not sufficient to
take the water and it leaves said
ditch and flows to the south over a

and on the land of Paul Dohman and
Adam Dohman and Walter Callens

seriously damages between 160 and

That if said drain was cleaned out
from under said bridge and said
bridge and said ditch on the south
side of said highway filled up to the
natural level of the water bed before
it was distorted all of said water
would pass through and under said
bridge in the natural course of said
drainage and none of said water
would go east on the south side of
the highway that runs east between
sections 27, 34, 26 and 35, township
30, range 15, in this county, and we
respectfuly request this honorable
body to take immediate action to re
move and cause to be removed all
dirt and refuse that h&s accumulated
under said bridge and which prevents
said bridge from functioning as a
bridge and drain to the great dam
age of the undersigned persons and
that the ditch along said highway be
so arranged and adjusted so as to
permit and cause said water to flow
in its natural course under said
bridge instead of to the east along
