The Semi-weekly leader., 1921-03-19

this agreement to pay the expenses
of testing the legality of the above
question, and the banks demanding
that their own attorneys be employed
in order to protect their interests
and the county feeling it necessary
to have its attorney to protect its
interest, the Board undertook to
make with the said attorneys an a.
greement as to Attorneys fees for
testing the question, The Board OF
Supervisors, after mature considera-
tion, realizing that the only way to
put through the Bond Issue was to
settle this question, agreed to pay the
sum herein after named, as attorney s
fees, providing that that would cover
the entire fee for testing the ques-
tions; that is, there should be only
the one fee paid.
1t was further agreed that the at
torneys are to raise every legal ques-
tion connected with the validity of
the expenditures of this money, and
the issuing of these bonds so that
the one lawsuit will cover every
question, and that there will be NO
cause for any further litigation grow
ing out of this Bond Issue.
Acting upon the above state of
facts in the interest of the peo-
pie of Lincoln county as the Board
understands it, 1t is therefore order
ed that t. Brady, jr., and A, A. Cohn,
Attorneys and H. v. Wall, attorney
for the Board of Supervisors, be and
they are hereby employed to instt-
80 Cno
proper to test the valuation of the
expenditures of the above amount OF
money, and for their services, they
are to be paid the sum of $500.00
each when the suit is ended, this fee
to cover their services In all the
courts and when the Courts have set
tied this question, their fees will be
due. H ". Wall, Attorney for the
Board, had nothing to do with the
fixing of the fee. That matter being
solely left to the other attorneys and
Board of Supervisors. The only con-
nection that H. v. Wall has in this
matter is to defend the County when
sued, he, the said H. V. Wall not
having prepared the Bond Issue.
1t is agreed and understood that If
suit is to be filed it will be filed as
soon as possible and answered as soon
as possible as the attorneys agreed
that the case may be heard in va
cation before the Chancellor, and
that as soon as it Is heard, the re-
cord is TO be prepared and an appeal
taken if necessary, and that mo-
ton is to be made to advance the
cause in the Supreme Court and the
Attorneys are to agree that such mo-
tion may be sustained, and the cause
advanced, and the briefs are to be
filed and the cause to be heard as
soon as possible. Ordered and ad-
judged this the 18th day Of March,
| 1921.
