To the Honorable Board Of Supervis-
ors of Platte County, Nebraska:
Gentlemen
Chapter III Of the Session Laws Of
Nebraska, 1909. provides as follows:
Unless otherwise ordered by the court
or judge thereof a grand jury shall
be drawn and summoned in the manner
provided by law, on the first day Of the
first regular term of the district court
of each county in the state''
1t is my opinion that the statute does
not contemplate the drawing and sum-
mOning of a grand jury for the first
term next after the taking effect of the,
law. but that it cOntemplatcs and pro-
videS for such procedure for the first
regular term in the next ensuing year.
But. to save any question as to the reg
ularity of procedure. and it satisfac-
torily appearing that no occasion exists
for the calling Of the grand jury for
the November. 1909. term Of the district
court of Platte county. Nebraska. it is
ordered. that the honorable board Of
of said county of Platte.
refrain from drawing and causing to-
be summoned. and that said board do
not draw nor cause to be summoned a
grand jury for the November, 1909.
