LEGAL NOTICE I (First pub. Feb. 5, 1953.) John R. Gallagher, Attorney IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF HOLT COUNTY. NEBRASKA IN THE MATTER OF THE AP PLICATION OF WILLIAM W. GRIFFIN, ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE OF MARY E. ROGMAN, DECEASED, FOR LICENSE TO SELL REAL ESTATE, ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY LICENSE SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED TO SELL REAL ESTATE. Now on this 2nd day of Feb ruary, A.D., 1953, this cause | came on for hearing upon the petition, under oath of William W. Griffin, Administrator of the Estate of Mary E. Rogman, de ceased, praying for license to sell the following described real estate of the said Mary E. Rog man, deceased, to-wit;— Lots 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18, in Block 5, East Side Addition to Village of Page, Holt Coun ty, Nebraska, for the payment of debts allow lowances and costs of adminis ed against said estate, and al aiaq; *Bq* uoseaj aq* joj uot;bji - something. The board met but did nothing. That’s what prompt ed the contempt threat. This time the board finally discovered that Johnson county assessments in 1952 were “dis proportionate to the state aver age.” Members of the board now are Governor Crosby, Secretary of State Frank L Marsh, State Treasurer Frank B. Heintze, State Auditor Ray C. Johnson and Tax Commissioner Norris J. Anderson. * * • Proposal— Sen. O. H. Uebers of Lincoln has come up with a new pro posal to chart the way out of the state’s property tax tangle. Put simply, it suggests using farm land, Nebraska’s most sta ble and basic resource, as the material from which to whittle a yardstick ior measuring tax valuations. Liebers thinks the ratio be tween the current value of farm lands to its value over the past 20 years is the proper measuring stick. If, for instance, the state wide average of land sales in 1952 was $80 an acre and over the past 20 years, the average ; was $40 an acre, then the ratio would be 50 percent and this would be the figure at which all property assessments would be the figure at which all property assessments would be figured. If the ratio worked out to be figured, of its value. A bill establishing the prin ciple has been introduced at the request of Governor Crosby. * * * Prompt— Governor Crosby lost no time signing a hill which the leaders of his party had hoped he’d veto. The 'measure repeals the pre primary law and means the par ties will no longer endorse can didates in the primary elections. State GOP Chairman Dav.d T. Martin of Kearney had opposed the bill and there was some spec ulation at the statehouse that Crosby would refuse to sign it. But sign it he did on the very day it hit his desk. Capitol insiders pointed out that even had the governor wanted to veto the bill, it was unlikely that he could make it stick. The measure passed with 23 votes, one more than was needed, with 16 votes against it and four members not vot ing. Twenty - six votes are needed to override a veto. One senator who voted against passage of the bill told me he would switch and vote to over rule the governor “simply be cause I don’t think a governor should tell us how to vote.” * * * Trouble— LB 9 is in for trouble. That’s the measure allowing county boards to fix salary lim lits of county officials and em ployees. The bill had a little dif ficulty getting past the govern ment committee and was in pret ty wobly shape when it reached the floor. And at week’s end, Sen. W. J. i Williams of Kearney had pre- i pared a motion to kill it and it appeared he had the votes to do the job. * * * Batting .500— The city of Milford batted .500 in the legislature last week. The lawmakers passed a bill to abol ish the home for unwed mothers and the budget committee kill fcd a bill to close the state trade school. Sen. George Syas of Omaha was the sponsor of both mea sures and Governor Crosby had told the legislature in his budget message that he thought they should be closed. Although it may take a trim ming on its budget, the trade school seemed likely still to be in business when the legislature goes home. * * * No, Thanks— The lawmakers said, “No, thanks,” to Sen. Terry Carpen ter’s invitation to pass Governor Crosby’s budget recommenda tions and go home right now. Carpenter could scare up only five votes beside his own for his resolution which was made on the basis that if the governor thinks he can run the state on the budget he proposed, let him try it and if the people think the legislators haven’t the intellect to pass good laws, then let’s go home. * • * No. 43— Nebraska soon will have its 43rd legislator. Sen. Ed Lusien-1 ski of Columbus, who represents Nance and Platte counties, has been absent since the start of this session and newspapers and voters in his district have com plained biterly abrout not being represented. His resignation was expected seme time this week from Om aha where he has been ill for several weeks. Governor Crosby’s office de clined to indicate who is under consideration but there is con siderable speculation on behalf of Robert C. Brower of Fullerton who lost to Lusienski last No vember by only 89 votes. * * Spanking— The teacher in Hamilton county who spanked her pupils still holds a license from the state education department. Superintendent Freeman B. Decker who held a hearing on a parent’s charge that her son wus spanked until he was black and blue said he warned Mrs. Ida Bell that “the evidence indicated she was using this means of pun ishment more than should be necessary in a well - operated school.” Decker stressed that his fail ure in revoke the license, as the outraged mother had asked, “does not mean to establish any principles” in regand to spanking since each case will be decided cn its own merits. • * * Watershed— The legislature’s committee 1 on public works has given the j green light to a bill authorizing the establishment of watershed districts in Nebraska. Stripped of most of the con troversy which surrounded a similar measure last session, the bill drew a crowd only a frac tion the size of the one which jammed the hearing room two years ago. The bill, LB 99, is the result of a legislative council commit tee study and is given a better than-even chance of passage by the legislature, although it is certain to be amended in many places.

Serving aboard the Wiltsie is Virgil V. Ankney, machinist’s mate third class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. James i W. Ankney of Atkinson.
