May Hold Two Positions
Attorney General W T Thompson
has given an opinion to County Attor
ney Sidney Dodge of Red Willow coun
ty holding that the statute does not
prohibit one person from holding the
office of clerk of the district court and
the office of district court reporter and
receive the emoluments of both offices
He says the common law does not limit
the number offices which may be held
simultaneously by the same person
provided that none of them are incom
patible with the others The attorney
general says
I am unable to discover anything in
the duties of the officers of court re
porter and clerk of the district court as
defined by the statute that is so repug
nant incompatible or inconsistent as
to render the duties of the one antago
nistic to the other to the extent of
barring one person of the right to hold
both offices and receive the compensa
tion therefor Lincoln Journal
