COUNTY ASKED TO PAY FEES
Bill I'm Legislature 20 Make Legal
Customs Of County Clerks
once.

Representative Barnes has introduced
into the house o. representatives a bill re-
lating 10 fees to be charged by the county
clerks office. One OF the main features of
the bill is that II provides that pension
vouchers shall be Acknowledged free OF
charge by the county clerk. This service
has always been done free IN practically
every county In the state. but In order to
avoid making a charge It has been neces-
sary 70 ignore the law. which provides a
fee OF Is cents. The bill is Intended to
make the law conform TO the custom.
The bill also provides that the county
and not the hlar shall pay the fee Of Is
cents for filing certificates Of assignment
under the scavenger tax law and claims
against the county. The present law pro-
vides the person who files these documents
shall pay the fee, but es Il relates to
county business the fee Is usually ignored.
In counties outside Of Douglas the bill
will enable county clerks to make enough
fees to cover their salaries.

fers feeding to selling the corn. considering
these prices.
I'VE need two weeks Of dry, cold weather
to put the corn In the best condition for

at once, I anticipate there would be a good
movement OF corn from Nebraska late in
February and during the first half of
March, for the price 10 bound to be better
