Honorabl~ Mayor and City ~ouncil,
Grand Island, Nebraska.
Gentl emen:
Your Str~"2t and Alley Comlliitt~e are of th~ oplnlon that a
gr~at deal of r~pair is n~ed"2d to th~ paving and further that we
will probably r~ceive many r"2quests for additional paving districts
in 1947 and in as much as it se"2ms possibl"2 for us to g"2t a much lower
cost if larger projects are promoted instead of small"2r districts as
we did in 1946. Your committee feels that this matter is of suffi-
cient importance that outside assistance would be advIsable and here-
by recommends that an engineering firm, VIi"2ll exp"2ri"2nced in paVing
and str"2"2t work be "2mployed by th"2 City of Grand Island for properly
suggested districts and plans of reconditioning for existing paving.
Respectfully submitted,

operation sinc~. It is installed on Lot 6, P~rk Vi~w Division, ~mich
lot is 375 ft by 107 ft in size. The w~ll being located on th~ rear
of th~ lot. Since the installation of this v\!~ll there has been thre~
properties construct~d, or und'~r construction on th~ three lots
directly adjacent to th~ ci ty lot and lie to the south. Two of thes~
properties hav~ installed cesspools and the third pr'operty, which
is own~d by mI'. 8verett Gibbs and which lot is directly south of
the Ci ty lot, is now constructing a bas~rn~nt hous'9 and has a cess-
pool under construction, which is less than 175 f't from our city well.

Mr. Ehlers made request for relief in his parking problem,

by Walker, was referred to Police and Street and Alley Committies.
Representative for garbage haulers, E. F. Noble, presented
a plea from the garbage haulers.
,Mr. Mayor and members of the Council. For the record, my
name i~ E. F. Noble and I am appearing here tonight before the
Council in behalf of the independent garbage haulers, for the purpose
of asking the Council for reconsideration on the ordinance vr.hich
sets the Ci ty up in:lf the garbage hauling business.
To begin with briefly, we along with many citizens of this
City feel that this ordinance is an infrigem~mt on private enterprise,
and virtually means that certain citizens of our community are being
throvm out of work because tae Ci ty is taking over their business.
At the time the city decided to get into the garbage business,
the former Mayor, harry Grimminger, stated to me, personally, and to
many of the drivers, that the former haulers would be offered employ-
m:mt in the running of the City's garbage trucks. I am informed that
to date, only six of these men have been contracted for jobs and only
three of them have been acceptable. I am informed that if the C0uncil
decides to let the ordinance stand that less than 25% of the oresent
haulers would be acceptable for these jobS.; and it is doubtful that
even those few would take the jobs because it v,ould mean a drastic
cut in income. In other words, it means tbat msn 'who havs mads
their livelihood at this work aI'S bsing thro\'>'TI out of work because
the City is taking over their business.
While we rscognize that the ci ty is going to considsrable
expense purchasing ns\', equipment, 'VI e feel that this equipment is not
adequats. I wish to point out that it is not equipped to haul all
trash and garbage. I am told by one of the drivers no'll.' employed on
this equipment that it is not moisture proof; and the trucks on vvhich
the equipment is mounted are not large enough to handle the job when
the boxes are fully loaded, because sven when empty, the body itself
rides on the overload springs.
I am plsading wi th the CO",uncil to rscognize the ss!'vice rendered
by these drivers during the w~r period--a time in which they remained
loyal to the City and handled thsir businsss when they could very
easily have left thsir equipmsnt set and could havs gone into wartime
jobs as many other workers did.,
2 Prior to the enactment of this ordinance, we anpeared before.; the
Council and offered petitions with several hundred signatures, pro-
testing against the ci ty' s ir:ten~ions to take over the garbage hauling
and today the ci tizens of Grand .lsland are even more opposed than
svsr before. In view of this fact, we feel that thess private
haulers have besn unduly cititcized for garbage and paper littsring
ths strsets and highways here in Grand Island.
Investigation shows that these haulers are not responsible.
This condition exists as a result of individual citizens and business
establishments hauling their own refuse and garbage to the dump in
pickups and trailers which are not properly covered.
.
I
I
I
.
....s
In conclusion, I want to say that these haulers are willing
to meet and make reasonable requirements to better the garbage service
in this ci ty; but I am told to date, no d~fini te requirement'has been
required of them.
We would. suggest that a committee of the haulers be given an
opportunity, to meet with the committeE having charge of this work,
at which time, we feel something could be workEd out that V1!ould meet
with the approval of thE Council.

On motion of Walker, seconded by Hoffman, was received and

the fact that generally in making a deed for real estate that if
and when builtiings are to be removed it is so stated in the deed

Mr. Floyd S. ~hite, City ~lerk,
Grand Island, Nebraska.
Dear Mr. Whi te:
At a meeting of the Board of Education held April 25, 1947,
it was suggested that it might be advantageous to the citizens of
Grand Island to use the southwest corner of the Memorial Stadium
Grounds as a baseball field, to be supervised by such a group of
people as the City Council and Board of Education might agree upon.
The Board of Education would like HIe opportuni ty to have a
committee from the Board meet with the City Council at some early
date.
Sincerely yours,
A. B. Newell

a ball grounds at Ryder .c>ark or any plac~, just to have a ball park.
No action 'Eaken.
April 28, 1947
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council:
Th'3 undersigned have paid several visits to the property ov,ned
by John Kallas, He is apparently better informed on the city ord-
inances than we are. .tlis attitude is that his lawver has told him
he is not violating any of the city lavvs by haVing' this d'3bris piled
on fuis propsrty. Although he has mads some conc'3ssions to us in
trying to clean up his yard, he has merely succeeded in getting
the material from allover the yard into one huge pile right in th'3
center.
It seems there is nothing further that can be done unless the
Council decides to revise its definition of a nuisance. If this
defini ticn is r'3vised properly, it "':ill enable us to su<te'3d in
cleaning up not only Mr. Kallas' place but several other eyesores
around tovm.
Your consideration of this proposition is requested.

r~ceiv~d an e::stltmate from Th'3 Krause Co. involving an additional
expsmditurecof $1,500.00 for r~plac'3m~nt of th~ library roof. It
was propos~d by your body that this expense b'3 charg'3d against th'3
reS'3rve library fund as indicat'3d by th'3 ci ty tr'3asurer. If for
any I' eason, this proc '3dur'3 can not be follow'3d, we ~ill need an
additional $1,500.00.
Since th'3 cont~nts of the library building are v'3ry valuable
and p'3rishable, it is imp'3rativ'3 that tll'3 roof b'3 r~place::d at onc'3.
Th'3 board would fe::'3l i tse::lf D'3glig'3nt if it did not take steps to
pr'3serve the City's property. The board has made ~very ~ffort to
conduct th~ aff~irs of th~ library as econ6mically as possible as

closure suit which is true buttthe city's claim for taxes is not
barred on on~ lot.
The tax foreclosure suit was filed on th~ 20th day of December,
1937, the improv':?ment district, Gravel District No. 17 affecting
lots 2, j~., 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15 & 16 was created by Ordinance #1f;8.3
on the 11th day of Decembe.;r, 1939 and the taxes were levied and assessed
on said lots on the 22nd day of Juns, 1940. (Ord. #1731) The County
purchased these lots at tax foreclosure sui t and deed for the.; same
vvas ordered on the 23rd day of' May, 1941 and sale confirmed by the
District Court of naIl County, Nebraska. These special taxes were
placed upon the property \I'ihile th~ foreclosure suit was pending
and the city's lien has not been foreclos,::d. The County in pur-
chasing these taxes took the same subject to the lien of the city.
On ~ot 15, the City in its Answer and Cross ~etition set up that
it had $1.15 due for the graveling of a street on said lot, Gravel
District #6 and on this sanie lot there was a special assessment due
for Water District in the sum of $32.25. The City's lien on this
lot was for'3closed and the City did not protect its 1ir:;n. It is
my opinion that the li~n on t.his lot should. b'3 order'3d struck from
th~ r~cord. In this re~pect the r'3quest of Mr. McCarthy should be
granted. .
It is my oplnlon that as to Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, la, 12, 14, and If;
the request should be d'3nisd.
Yours very truly,
Paul C. Holmberg,
Ci ty Attorney.
On motion of huston, sscond'3d by harris, the City Attorney's
opinion ~as approved. (City Attorney advised Mr. McCarthy has re-
ceived a copy of th'3 opinion.)

Grand Island, Nebraska.
Dear Mr. Walker:
As your I' sq,u ssted, I mads an inspection of the Kallas premi ses
on West 10th Strset this noon. Mr. Kallas has done quite:; a bit
toward cleaning up the place, but tllsrs is still some work to be
done. He;> has rak<:>d up everything from the front two-thirds of the
lot to the back and put it in se:;vc:;ral lar~e piles. Th<:>re are still
several spots that ne<:>d attention on ths lot next to his house. One
is a large pil'9 of brick about ten f'get across at Ul'~' base, approx-
imately fiv'S f'?et high. This pils is not stacked up off the ground,
but mer'?ly thrown tog<;;th'?r.
At the east end of his garage he has built a kind of container
V':hich is full of kindling wood and is undoubt<;;dly a rat harbor.
This ne'?ds to be tovvn down and th'? viood stack'?d up off the ground.
The lot on the corner of the block v'Jhich belongs to his son
has also had a littl'? v.ork done on it, but all of the building
materials still lie on the ground. To the best of my knowl<;;dge,
these materials have been lying in that same spot for a number of
months and they also are undoubtedly a rat harbor.
As previously mentioned, the place looks a lot better, but
there still is room fay' improv'9rnent.
We trust this is the information you want.
Yours truly,
J. S . 01 evd n e,
Sani tarian.

To th"2 Nl"2mbers of ths Ci ty Council,

In accordance ~ith th"2 powers grantsd in Ssction 13 of
Article 3 of the Ordinances of th~ City of Grand Island, I hereby
veto th e deci sian of th e Ci tv Council to en t sr in to a con trac t
for sal e of the Ci ty garbage: viii th Iren"2 Darling, a copy of the
propos"2d agr"2e:;w"2nt b~ing h"2r~to attached mc;.rk~d Exhi bi t nA':.
The agr~ement is being v~toed for the following reasons:
1. That the amount off~red by the said Irene Darling
for ~)2id garbage, to-wit, $4.50 per ton, is inadequats.
2. On account of the distance:; from Grand Island, the
costs of delivsring said garbage to the purchas.$r is unreasonable
and excsssive.
3. The offer of the purche.ser mad'3 under date of lVi,arch 5,
1947 was not accepted by the City Council.
4. That und-?l' date of Jun"2 24, 1947 tho:;; acceptance of
the offer was denied and the following proceedings were had:
"Proposed contract with ~rene Darling p'3rtainDlg to garbage for
hog feed ~as presented. After discussion, it was moved tv ~alk"2r,
and seconded by tl'.'fi'man, that the City advertis'? for bids for
garbage picked up bv City trucks. Carried".
5~ That ~~i? action on June 4, 1947 v,as n<::ver rescinded,
repealea, or mOQlflsd.
6. That a written offer has been made by Millspaugh Brothers
to pay $.6.00 per ton for said g&rbags. delivs'red to thsir premises
which is EJ.djacent. the city limits. The City v\ould be saved the;;
expense:; of [lauling th"2 g&rbage to ths lIarlinfo pr'3mises v.,hich is
n'3ar the City dump.
7. That the r~a20n given for ent'3ring into such a con+ract
by som'3 councilmen, to-wi t: "That ....r.ene Darling vms form"2rly
the owner of a one-half interest in a garbage route which she
~urr"2ndersd", does not constitute any c nsideration for making
an agrsemsnt with her. T.he City, not being under obligation t.o
comps:nsate the scoid Irene Darling for surrsndsring 1'1"21' intersst
in thS' garbag,:; rout~ in ths Ci ty of Grand Island.
8/ An investif;ation discloses that V'iith corn selling at
$2.00 per bushel and hogs at $25.00 per cwt, the valus of the
garbage delivS'I'sd to the purchas'3rs psns should b"2 from $.7.00
to $8.00 pe:;r ton.

Veto on Beer & Liquor Applications by the Mayor was read.
No action taken.
TO THg MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL,
GRAND ISUlND, NEBRASKA.
G FN TL EM EN :
Under the- authority granted by tile City Charter, I hereby
veto the action of the City \..iouncil on Beer and Liquor licenses,
the official record of which is as follows:
"Meeting held September 17, 1947. Discussion on increase
of number of beer & liquor licenses. On motion of Ditter, second-
ed by Huston, that number of beer licenses be increased ten (10)
and liquor licenses two (2). Voting "aye" Walker, Thomssen, Huston,
Ditter, Harris, & McElroy. Voting "No." Campbell &: Hoffman."
I believe this action is hasty and unwise. The reasons advanced
for the increase are:
.
I
I
I
.
1. That the City has increased its population 5,000 without
a corresponding increase in beer and liquor licenses;
2. That a person desiring to go into bu~iness has to pay
an enormous price for the privilege;
3. That some licenses are inactive.
As to No.1, I believe that 42 beer licenses and the 22 litquor
licenses now in existance can adequately serve all customers. There
has been no great demand for the increase of licenses, except from
persons desiring to go into the business. There are 7 beer licenses
and 5 liquor licenses held by clubs in Grand Island whose membership
is approximately 6,000. This leaves 35 beer licenses and 17 liquor
licenses to serve those who do not belong to clubs.
Vv'hile comparisons are not always fair, it may be noted that
"'.astings has 19 beer licenses to Grand Island's 42, and 13 liquor
licenses while Grand Island has 22. It has recently been disclosed
that an effort has been going on for 15 months to increase the
number of licenses. The council has repeatedly refused to do so.
Perhaps it would be well to have submitted the question at the
last spring's election, and let the voters decide whether they de-
sired an increase of 12 licsnses.
As to No.2, I believe it is not well taken. Our Supreme
Court has decided in the case of Steves vs. Fall that a lic<::nse
may not be sold, quot ng "A license shall be purely a p<::rsonal
privilege---nor shall it be alienable or transferable, volumtarily
or involuntarily." Therefore, when a person sell,S his business,
his liquor licenses terminates, and b~fore another person can take
over, a new license must be .issued. .!.f the Council desires to
stop the sale of liquor or been establishments at a high price, all
that is necessary is for five of the councilmen to vote against
granting the neVi license. It might be well to have an ordinance
passed to the effect that no new license will be granted in the
sale of a business, except in the case of injury or death of the
holder of the old license. This would prohibit sales at ex-
horititant prices.
As to No.3, that some licenses are being held inactive, an
ordinance would solve this problem by including a provision that
any licenses held inactive for more than 90 days would be revoked.
Any reason for increasing the licenses can be adequately met
by the broa.d prowers which are given the City Council with ref.er-
ence to granting licenses. They have almost unlimited discretion
in granting and refusing licenses and they need not resort to the
increasing of licens.es to cure any evil which now exists.
There are sopnd reasons for ref~singthe increase. There is
a shortage of buildings for business. We are surely near the peak
of inflation. As soon as business slackens there will be less
demand for merchandise, and wi th this great increase some of the
licensees will be forced out of business. One concilman stated that
it would then be the "survival of the fittest." This would lead
to trouble. There would be a temptation to take chances on selling
to minors; to sell "another drink" to a person who has had suffi-
cient; there would be a tendency to encourage boot-legging on the
part of some whose business will diminish within the next few years.
A difficult question for the council will be selecting the
12 to whom the licenses will be granted. I am informed that wi thin
three days after the council's action, 34 new application blanks had
been taken out. It will be a problem for the council to select the
ones who shall have licenses. There will be a grea.t deal of the
.
I
I
I
.
,l."<"..! C' I
Council's tim~ taken for th~ purpose of determining who should have
a license. Th~ Council has many important probl~ms to solve, and
should not be required to give the time which will be required to
sort. over the many applications.
Reference has been made to the limit of lic~nses eight or
ten years ago. An examination of the record shows on October 6, 1937
a resolution was passed limiting the liquor lic~nses to 20 and b~~r
licenses to 39, total 59. Since that time the number has been
increased to 64. The 1937 resolution also provided that as soon
as any license was forfeited, surrendered, or became dormant, that
no liquor license would be granted in excess of 12, and that no
beer licenses should be issued in excess of 30. The Mayor and
Council at that time decided that 42 licenses were sufficient for the
City of Grand Island, whereas we now have 64.
Outside of the applicant who desires to get into business or
some other persons who are interested in helping him t.o obtain his
license, there has been no general demand for the increase. About
two months ago the sam~ request was voted dqwn 5 to 3. This policy
has been in force for years. Nothing has occurred that would
justify this sudd~n change. The effects of this action will be
far rea.ching.
There are other reasons for 9Pposing the increase. I beli€ve
the foregoing ar~ sufficient to justify this veto.
Resp~ctfully submitted,
J. B. Cunningham
Mayor.
Protest on the issuing of more licenses, sig~ed by Esther
Klostermeyer et al was presented. On motion of Thomssen, seconded
by Walk~r, was received and placed on file.

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Grand Island, Nebraska.
Gentlemen: .>\
We, your committee on Water and Light to whom was referred the
proposition to increase the discount on water bills of the last
quarter's consumption, after very car~ful study and consideration
with to recommend that we not increase our prompt payment discount
on water bills for th~ past quarter, for the .following r~asons:
.
I
I
I
.
During the Jast several years water consumption in Grand
I sIanO. has continually increas-Bd and to meet this increase, we have
set forth plans for the installation of two new wells including
pumps and motors, well houses, IDld cODIlecting ~iping. We have
plans nearly completed for an addition to the main pumping plant
on Pine Street, which includes new motor driven pump, pipe and
fi tting s. All of these improvements, together with increased operat-
ing cost will require the expenditure of most of our reserve water
fund, and in our opinion is not conductive to lower rates at this
time.

Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Grand Island, Nebraska.

G en tl emen:
I wish to make r~port to you relatltte to the City's Ice
Business and Manufacturing Plant.
This plant has been in continuous operation since August,
1919; over twenty-eight years. It was built for a capacity of 25
tons ice making per twenty-four hours. t:ome r~finem~nts have been
installed from time to time, which has r~'sul ted in stepping up the
production to 30 tons per day. There is op ~ra ted, in connection with
the ice making plant, an ice storage having a capaci ty of 1300 tons
alIundeI' refrigeration. The plant has produced and sold over 149,000
tons of ice since it's beginning, an average of 5500 tons per year.
The original bonds, together with intersst v,er~ paid off from profits,
during the first six years of operation.
The past three years has shoVvn a very decided increase in the
business, average for this period being 8,160 tons per year, and this
high average does not supply the demand. We have run out of ice in
August of every year, during the past three, and found it necessary
to ra tioD ice in July, August and September. I have estimated we
could have sold 1,000 to 1,200 tons more Lce per year if we had more
manufacturing capacity. It is difficult to predict if this demand
will continue or even stay as it is; bllt Ln my opinion, I believe
it will stay as it is for several years or at lsastuntil the pro-
suction and price of mechanical refrigeration changes.
.
I
I
I
.
In view of this d~mand and our present inability to supply the
needs of QUI' customers, I have secured prices and made some tentative
plans for an addition of ice making ~quipm~nt to be installed in the
present builing, which will increase our ice making capacity 10 to
11 tons per day. Very littl~ building changes would be r~quir~d.
The estimated cost would be around $16,000.00. There is more than
sufficient funds on hand to meet this ~xpense. Under our present
op~rating costs, this addition will produce 1100 tons of ice during
June, July and August vdth a net profit of $2,460.00 per year.
Vve are advised by the manufacturers of this type of madtinery
that delivery is slow and would probably take a year or more before
it would be ready for operation.
I am pr~senting this in the form of a report to your honorable
body for the purpose of taking whatever action you may see fit. ~e
have had to apologize for running out of ice for the pase several
years. Whether this demand vvill keep up is a question.
Thi s plant has developed it's busin ess not only in Grand Island,
but over a larg'3 t erri tory, and mapy small tov,ns as well as rural
communities are depending on it for their refrigeration needs.

Honorable MaY(j)r, City Councilmen
and City Clerk.
Grand Island, Nebraska.
G en tl em'3n:
We wish to bring a matt'3r befor'3 you for your consideration
and action.
On July 5, 1944, we pr'3pared and certifi'3d to an abstract
of ti tl e cov'3ring the following real '3S ta t'3, to-wi t:
Fractional Lot 1, in Fractional Block 55,
Charl'3s Vvasmer's Third Addition to the City
of Grand Island, N'3braska, and its complement
Fr'l Lot 1, in Fr'l Block 33, illorrill's Addition
to the City of Grand Island, N'3braska,
which property was owned at that tirn'3 by Edi th Abbott, Arthur G.
A bbott and o. A. .Abbott.
Inasmuch as V,'3 are not permitted to check the cards in th'3
City Treasurer's office, for sp'3cial ass'3ssments, we called him for
a report on any Special Assessm-ents against this In'op'?.rty E.nd his
report was "NONE:". We ar'3 now informsd by Mr. Vieregg, ths pr<::sent
City Treasurer that there is an unpaid ~aving Tax against this
property, ~hich was asse~sed on Dec. 21, 1927, and upon ~hich payments
w.:;re made by two of th's ownsrs, but th<;: City Treasurer failed to
collect from the third party.
E:vidently this card V'ias lost or misplaced, for in Mc:y, 1938,
the County of Hall foreclos~d on this property for gens'ral 1'<::al
estate taxes, vith oths:r lands, emd the City of Grand Island vIas
made a party defendant to the for'3closure action. On June 21, 1938,
.
I
I
I
.
th~ City of Grand Island, by Paul C. Holmberg, City Attorne;y,
filed their answer emd cross--peti tion in said foreclosure; C[lS~,
but therein claimed no lien on this property, designat~d as the
64th cause of action. On Jun~ 16, 1'941 em order of dismissal
signed by the Distr'ict J'udge, was entered and filed, in the 64th
cause of action, Yihich covers th::: above described propc::ety. If
the City had a lien on this property and had fil'.:!d an answer in
said case, this li'.:!n Vvould have b'.:!'.:!D paid b'.:!fore dismissal ",as
fil €.d.
We are of the opinioIl that the card v,as lost or- misplace;d
at the time of the forsclosure bDd also I'fhen \\>; call'.:!d for special
assessrnsnts aD July 5, 1944, th<::rsfore, we;; do not feel that ViS
ShOllld be held liable Lor this lic.:n.
We will appreciate it very much, if you will rsfer this
matter to th'3 proper cowmi ttes so that t.his lien can be checked
and disposed of at this time.

Gctobel" 30, 1947
To the Mayor and City Council
Gentlemen:
Several members of the Police Department of Grand Island have
requested that they no longer beconsidered participants in the
Municipal Annuity Act and request that their contributions be
returned to them. You have asked for my opinion whether or not
such employees are by law permitted to withdraw as participants
snd request payment of' some benefi t and at the Mune time continue
to remain as city employees.
Section 2, Article?, of the Municipal Annuity Act provicles as
f 01 1 O'liJS :
"The provisions of this act, hOl..vever, shall apply
to any employee, as of the effective date hereof
or of his employment, as the case may be, unless
within sixty days thereafter, such employee elects
not to participate. Any person so electing not to
participate shall forever thereafter be precluded
from participating in the retirement system created
by this act."
This would indicate that persons employed by a participating
municipality at the time the act took effect or those who become
employed after the effective date of said act, must within 60
days, as the case may be, express their willingness not to be a
participant. It ~Tould seem to folIo.",! that in having elected to
be a perticipating employee, he must continue to make contribu-
tions.
Section 2, Article 3, of said Municipal Annuity Act reads as
follows:
lIEach person '\I>[ho is an employee of a pal"'ticipating
department, other than a fireman or policeman, included within
the provisions of an existing pension or retirement system
created by the municioslity or by statute, on the effective
date of participation of such Clepartment, shall be included.
't~Tithin and subject to the provisions of this system beginning
upon 8uch effective date. Each person ~ilio becomes an eligible
employee of any participating department on or after the effec-
tive date of participation of such department shall be included
T,<Ltrlin e,ncl Gubjeet to the provisions of this system beginning upon
the date such person becomes an eligible employee. Participation
shall continue until retirement, death or acceptance of a separa-
tion benefit from the system.lI
Please note the following language in the said Section 2, Article 3.
"Participation shall continue until retirement, death
or acceptance of a separation benefit from the system."
This language expressively says that there are but three "rays
to receive the benefits, they being, retirement, death and
separation brought about by termination of employment.
Section 4, Article 5, of the Annuity Act reads as follows:
"Any participant whose employment with all participating
municipalities has been terminated, regardless of
cause, shall be entitled to a separation benefit upon
application therefore: Provided, that on the date
such applic1.,?,tion is received by the 'boarel, such
participant would not immediately be entitled upon
application to a retirement annuity hereunder. The
amount of any separation benefit shall be the sum of the
accumulated normal contributions and accumulated addi-
tional contributions of the osrticioant as of the date
of separation from services.' . Upon ~cceptance of a
separation benefit, all existing accumulated normal
contributions, accumulated additional contributions
.
I
I
I
.
-2-
and accumulated prior service credits of the parti-
cipant shall be termin,3.tscl, and such crec1i ts shall
not be reinstated upon subsequent participation of
such participant in this system or for any other cause. II
I call YOLJ.r attentlon to the langue,ge in the first part of this
section which reads as follows:
IIAny participant 'tvhose employment "ri th all partici-
pating municipalities has been terminated, regardless
of cause, shall be entitled to a separation benefit
upon application therefore:lI
This sentence would indicate that a participant must terminate
his service with a municipality before being entitled to any bene-
fits and a 8 previously pointed out there are but three ways to
entitle a participant to benefits and they are retirement, death,
separation from service, "Thich means to cease employment.
It is my opinion that the act intends to continue employees as
participants in the retirement system until they are entitled to
a benefit brought a.bout by either retirement, death or termination
of employment. I do not find that an employee can continue in
service of a municipality and at the same time ask that he no
longer be considered a participant, after he has once expressed
his desire to be B participant.
Your attention is called however, to the letter dated October 22,
1947, signed by G1en I. Anderson, cHrector of the Municipal Re-
tirement System, Vlrho 8aid he '\1\TOuld suggest that any employee de-
siring to withdraw from the system make application for withdrawal
and return of contributions and give as reason for such with-
drawal, the fact that a non-participation affidavit should have
been filed insteacl of one of participation. I see no reason why
the employee under this arrangement should not be permitted to
'tvithdrat~r, provided that said 'tvi thdrairml does not in any irn:lY cost
the city. I think under this arrangement the city should be
entitlecl to a return of '\-Vhat ever contributions it has made 't'\Tithout
interest and that the employee be entitled to the contributions
he has made likewise without interest.
I would also suggest that the law be followed hereafter and all
employees indic2.te wi thin the sixty days period ;,vhetheJ:' or not
-they intend to participate in this Retirement Annuity Plan.
Yours very truly,
City Attorney
Paul C. Holmberg

Th e only thing I request as being "Mayor" is that we have
some place to play baseball this spring and summer, a good base-
ball park. There are as many boys interested in baseball as there
are in football and maybe there would be more if we had a decent
place to play. You see what the new stadium is doing for the foot-
ball team, v'Iell it might do the same for the baseball team.

To His Honor the Mayor, and
the City Council of the City of
Grand Island, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
During the year 1927 a a water di.strict was created in
Evans Addition to the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, including
a tax in the original amount of $26.50 and interest at 7% before
delinquency and 10% after delinquency, on Lot 3 in Block 11 in
said Addition.
Between the years 1939 and the last of December of 19-42,
we had for extension the abstract of title covering the above
described lot, and on three seaparate occasions called at the
office of the City.Treasurer of Grand Island, Nebraska, as to ~
whether or not any special assessments appeared of record against
said lot, and on each occasion the then Ci ty Treasurer reported
back that there was no special assessment so far as the above
described lot was concerned.
About 3 weeks ago the present record owner of said lot,
having purchased this lot in December of 1942 called at the
office of the Ci ty Treasurer vvi th I' .:;ference to other special
assessments on prop.:;rty owned by th.:; present ovmer of said lot,
and was informed of this sewer assessment and called on the writer
wi th reference to said assessment.
I feel that in viev. of th.:; fact that the writer exercised
every precaution as to ~hether or not said sewer assessment was
of record against said premises, and said over-sight was caused
by the carelessness of the then ci ty treasurer that stUd special
assessment should be strickc;;n from the record in the office of the
City Treasurer.
The writer has always felt that the present card index system
empl?yed in the offi~e of the City Treasurer with I' eference to' keeping
speclal ass<essments 1.S not the proper method of keeping aaid record
and should be replac<ed with some mor<e modern and accurate method.
Any consideration shown m<e in this regard will be hig.hly
appreciated.
V<ery sincerely yours,
Herman F. Buckow
On motion of Huston, seconded by Mc~lroy, City A ttorney was
instructed to prepare r<esolution covering the request.

December 3, 1947
To the Mayor 2illd City Council,
Grand Island, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
Under date of October 31, 1947 the Grand IsIEffid Abstract
Company of Grand Island, Nebraska, filed with the Mayor and Council
a request that certain special assessments unpaid and owing upon
fraction lot 1 (one) in Fractional Block 55, Charles Wasmer's
Third Addition to the City of Grand Island, Nebraska, and its
complement Fractiona.l Lot one (1), in Fractional block 33, Morrill's
Addition to the City of Grand Island, NebraSka, be canceled for
the reason that the City did not file an Jillswer and Cross-petition
in the tax foreclosure action, involving the said lot and for the
further reason that a former City Treasurer on one or more occas-
ions reported to said Grand Island Abstract Company that there was
no lien on said premises for paving.
.
I
I
I
.
~ s
The City had a lien on said lot for pairing; That the amount
of $289.91 was levied and assessed against said lot on the 21st
day of December, 1927, as appears in Ordinance No. 1210.
In Case Number 8816 filed in the District Court of Hall County
Nebraska, entitled "County of Hall, plaintiff vs. William Pahler Jr.,
et aI, defendants", the plaintiff sought foreclosure of general
taxes due the County of Hall on said described lot, which was iden-
tified in said case as Cause of Action No. 64.
When the City filed its Answer and Cross-petition in said
foreclosure action, the City made no claim for Special Assessment
on Cause of Action No. 64. The City Treasurer had mislaid or over
looked the record and had failed to give the same to the under-
signed who was then City Attorney.
I wish to note here that answer date according to the summons
in the case above referred to in District Court of tiall county,
Nebraska, w~s July 4, 1938. Under date of December 16, 1939, the
City Treasurer discovered the error that was made in not filing
an Answer and Cross-petition against said property identified in
Cause of Action No. 64, and on said day an Application was made
to the District Court of Hall County, Nebraska, showing that the
defendant, City of Grand Island, had over looked the special
assessment due on the within described lot and asked for permission
to have it's lien established.
On the 15th day of July, 1938, a decree was filed in favor
of the plaintiff showing the amount of taxes due the County of Hall.
Under date of June 16, 1941, a dismissal of the plaintiff's
cause of action was filed.
Under date of January 27, 1941, Edith Abbott paid to the
City Treasurer of Grand Island, the sum of $216.50 of which $101.46
was on principal and $115.09 for interest for an undivided ! in-
terest in said lot.
Under date of January 27, 1941, A. G. Abbott paid to the
City Treasurer the sum of $108.25, for the undivided! interest
in said lot of which $50.73 was applied to principal and $57.52
to interest and advertising. The remaining t of special tax was
not paid and \iv-as due from Dthan A. Abbott, the other interested
owner of said lot.
Evidently the Grand Island Abstract Company failed to dis-
cover the Application of the City of Grand Island, having been
filed in the tax foreclosure case No. 8816 in which the City stated
it claimed a lien for special assessment and that the same had
been overlooked and that the City asked for equitable relief. If
this Application had been shown on the Abstract it would have been
called to the attention of the party purchasing said lot and the
t part of this special assessment remaining unpa~d would no doubt
have been full~~ collected. It is 'my opinion t.hat such Application
should have been shown in the Abstract because it is part of the
foreclosure proceedings.
The Abstractor having failed to show this Application cannot
come in now and ask that the special assessment be struck from the
records.
The real estate involved in this matter was conveyed by
Warranty Deed under date of June 26, 1944 to George H. DeMay and
was filed for record on July 24, 1947.
Yours very truly,
Paul C. Holmberg,
City Attorney.
