Gentlemen: Tou are hereby notified
that a dangerous nuisance has been
constructed In the public highway that
runs north and south, between the
north half, of the south half of sec
tions 3 and 4. town 17. range 2 west,
in Oconee township: That the north
half of said sections are low and flat
and a large amount of surface waters
fall thereon and collect there from the
higher grounds north and west and the
natural outlet and flow therefrom Is
toward the north and east. In which di
rection said surplus waters have
flowed from time Immemorial.
That recently the owners of said low
lands, or some one unknown to the
undersigned, has opened a large and
deep ditch upon the public highway
from said low flat lands, across a
ridge of higher lands for the purpose
and with the Intent and which does
and will divert said surface waters
from their natural course along said
highway, across said higher ground,
and discharge them upon the lower
lands lying south of said ridge to the j statute.'
great damage of said highway and) "I do
the adjoining properties.
That the collecting and discharge of
such surface waters during a wet sea
son or In times of heavy rains will
flood said lower lands along said
highway. wl,l require expensive bridges
and culverts to keep the highway
passable and by reason of the
grade such a large volume of water
will tear out the selds of the road, re
quire constant repairing and be a con
tinuous nuisance and menace to the
adjoining lands below, through which
said waters will pass.
That the undersigned are the own
er sof said southwest quarter of sec
tion 3 and part of southeast quarter
of section 4, adjoining and brings this
to your notice In their own interest
as well as of the county and township
and at the solicitation of all the other
Interested parties, and asks that you
abate said nuisance before serious
damage accrues, which Is sure to fol
low.
Respectfully submitted,
J. D. STIRES IRA GATES.
Attorney J. D. Stries now addressed
the board In support of the discontinu
ance of the nuisance, whereup It was
moved by Supervisor Smith that the
town board of Oconee township and
Road Overseer R. W. Fiefield. together
with E. A. Gerrard and Clarence Ger
rard shall be nottfled by the clerk of
the board to appear before the board
of supervisors on Friday. June 16. 1911,
at 2 o'clock, p. m. to testify relative

The application, petition and bond of
Frank M. Pawoll for a license to sell,
malt, splrltous and vinous liquors in
the town of Duncan, In Butler town
ship, from the 15th day of June, 1911,
to the 15th day of June( 1912, was pre
sented and read and on motion re
ferred to the committee on judiciary.
After a brief Intermission the fol

Tour committee on judiciary to
whom was referred the application, pe
tition and bond of Frank M. Pawoll to

in the town of Duncan In Platte
county, Nebraska, would reporf that
we find petition signed by the requisite
number of free holders, that the same
hase been published according to law
as per affidavit of publication and we
further find that the bond is suffici
ent as to surety and form, therefore
recommend that same be approved,
that the amount of the license be fixed
at $500.00 which amount has been
paid to the county treasurer as per
receipt attached and further recom
mend that the license be granted as
prayed for.
HENRY SCHAECHER.
On motion of Supervisor Smith same
was adopted.
The petition of J. C
and regulating compensation of coat- pointed to view the lots along the Loap
missloners of Insanity provides la part
as follows: "The examination physic
Ian shall be entitled to $5.00 for each
case examined, and mileage at the
rate of 10 cents per mile each way."
Any person coming within the pro
visions of the Dipsomaniac Law is
legally speaking, a patient, and treat
ment at the "Hospital for the Insane Is
provided for. This being true, I am
of the opinion that the examining phyV
siclan is entitled to $5,00 for each case
eaxamlned together with his mileage.
However. I am of the opinion that said
examining physician is not entitled to
such pay unless a professional examin
ation Is in fact made, and I would re
commend that any claim by such phy
sician for an examination fee be denied
unless the claim shows that such pro
fessional examination had been actual
ly made.
Respectfully submitted,
C. N. McELFRESH.
County Attorney.
On motion same was ordered to be
spread upon the record.
The following was presented to the
board of supervisors:
Gentlemen: With reference to the
sheriff retaining mileage collected or
earned by him to cover his expenses
for making trips and serving papers
within his county, beg to report that
Section 9437 regulating the fees of
sheriffs and as amended, of Cobbeys
Annotated Statutes for the year 1909,
provides in part as follows:
"Traveling expenses for each mile,
actually and necessarily traveled, 5
cents."
"Provided further, that the sheriff
shall on the first Tuesday in January,
April, July and October of each year,
make a report to the Board of County
Commissioners or Supervisors, under
oath, showing the different items of
fees except mileage collected or earned
from whom, at what time, and for
what service and the total amount of
fees collected or earned by such of
ficer since the last report and also
the amount collected or earned for
the current year and he shall then pay
all fees earned to the county treas
urer." Section 9438 of said statute and as
passed in 1907 and in force from
April 5. 1907. places the sheriffs of the
various counties upon a salary basis,
the compensation- of the sheriffs prior
to said act of 1907 being on a fee basis.
As to the sheriff accounting for fees
collected by him the Attorney General
has rendered the following opinions
based upon the foregoing sections of
the statute:
"The sheriff Is required to pay all
fees earned to the county treasurer.
except the fees as allowed for board
ing prisoners and conveying state
convicts to the state penitentiary.
"In addition to their fixed salaries
sheriffs are not entitled to any fees
excepting for the care of prisoners."
"Under the amendment of 1907, the
sheriff must report the items of fees
except mileage either collected or
earned and the total amount of fees
collected and earned. Including mile
age and pay over to the county all
fees earned including mileage."
"The Attorney General has further
held:
"The sheriff is limited to the sal
ary provided by law. For such salary
he must perform all duties relating to
his office. I do not thtnk the law con
templates reimbursing the sheriff for
expenses incurred for service of papers
or for making arrests in his county.
Evidently the legislature intended that
the sheriff furnish his own means of
conveyance for the salary fixed by the
Dawson and
others for the location of a public road,
40 feet In width, commencing at the
southwest corner of section 12, towa
17, range 2 west and running thence
east on section line, was presented and
read on motion referred to the com
mittee on roads and bridges.
The report- of the appraisers ap
pointed to assess the damages sus
tained by the location of the "Baum
gart Road" in Granville township, was
on motion referred to the committee
on roads and bridges.
The following was presented to the
board of supervisors:
Gentlemen: With reference to the
pay of the physician as one of the
Commissioners of Insanity for the pro
fessional examination of patients un
der an act of the legislature commonly
known as the Dipsomaniac Act, beg to
Cltr Of COIUBIBHS newricji - t
w. i. c ..d a block 191: S1M.M state that Section ltttt of Cobby
o not thinK the sheriff, is en
titled to charge or retain mileage for
conveying patients to the Insane
Asylum, hut I am of the opinion the
legislature did not intend to Impose
upon him the hardship of paying his
own railroad fare and actual expense
incurred in conveying an insane per
son to the asylum. This is a service
performed outside of the county and I
think the county board of each county
would be justified In reimbursing the
sheriff to the extent of his actual ex
penses Incurred in performing this
service.
In view of the foregoing and from
a careful examination of the statute, it
is my opinion that the sheriff is
obliged to pay all fees earned or col
lected.' including mileage, to the county
treasurer, from and since April 5, 1907,
except fees for the boarding of pris
oners, and that he cannot retain the
mileage collected or earned by him
to cover expenses incurred in the per
formance of any duty arising within
his office and within his county. It Is
my opinion that for any services per
formed outside of his county, such as
conveying convicts to the penitentiary
and Insane persons to the asylum, he
is entitled to not more than his actual
expenses.
Respectfully submlted.
C. N. McELFRESH,
County Attorney.

On motion of Supervisor Wilson the

The following was presented to the
Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen: In the Interest of the
western part of Platte county. It Is
proposed to construct a steel wagon
bridge across the Loup river In said
county at a point south of the village
of Monroe at a cost estimated by the
state engineer of $35,900. Five thous
and dollars of which has been sub
scribed by private Individuals. By the
provisions of the law passed by the
last legislature, we understand that
the state will bear one half -of cost of
bridges of this character. If recom
mended, by the county board, this com
mittee therefore respectfuiy ask the
county board to make the necessary
recommendation and file application
with the state commissioner of irriga
tion for the funds required. It Is also
proposed as a means of raising funds
to bond the townships of Oconee and
Loup for the sum of $9,000.
Believing that a bridge constructed
at Monroe would be of great benefit
to the whole of the western part of
Platte county, we respectfully ask for
an appropriation of $3,009 from Platte
county for aid In the construction of
this bridge. In case the cost of the
bridge should fall short of present es
timates the districts and county shall
share equally In the advantage.
