Therefore we recommend to the Mayor and City

purchase a mold-board at the price of $100. The G. I.
Supply Company will make all necessary changes that
required.

Gent lemen:
We, your Oommittee on Water and Light, to whom has
been referred a reduction in the present~lty lighting and
power rates, beg to report as follows:
The light fund at this time has a substantial reserve
in oash and seourities of $334,280.00. The netea.rninga of
the light department for the year 1935 .as $73,442.00, after
plaoing in reserve for depreoia.tion and replacement $43,753.00.
There is no indebtedness owning in the light department.
Your Oommittee has given the subject of reduced rates
oonsiderable study and we feel that in view of the reserves on
hand, and the s~bstantial earnings of the department during
the past, that .e can safely recommend the following new re-
duces rate schedule.
This reduotion will save city oonsumers approximately

Thos. M. Dillon
Mayor
His Honor the Mayor presided and Gross, Hehnke, Kammer,
Koehler, Krehmke and Sorenson were present at roll call.
The wri ~ten opinion of the City Attcr ney was read:
TO THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF GRAND ISLAND, Nebraska.
Gentlemen:
The following is my opinion concerning the petition asking
that a special election ibe called November 3, 1936, to submit the
proposition to the electors of Grand Island whether or not a~ooho1ic
liquors other than beer :should be sold by the drink.
It is my opi~ion that another special election oannot be
called at this time, and that if the same were held, it would not
be in conformity to th~ l~quor law as passed by the Legislature in
the year of 1935. The ~roposition concerning elections is governed
by Sections 5 and 48 of iHouss Roll No. 128, Chapter 116 of the Session
laws for the year 1935.
Section 5 above referred to is in part as follows:
liThe Commission may issUle licens,s, other than beer, at retail in
the original paCkage wi~hin the corporate limits of cities and Villages;
provided that the initi~l license period to sell such liquor by the
.
I
I
I
.
tF:!it'. no.
iUil1
package in such city or village shall not extend beyond April 30, 1937.
In the general municipal' election in April, 1937, any city or village
wherein licenses shall have been issued, as hereinbefore provided for
the sale of alcoholic liquors in the original package other than beer
at retail, may submit a proposal to sell such alcoholic liquors in
the original package at retail to the qualified electors of such city
or village, such proposal shall be submitted and voted upon in the
same manner as the submi~sion of the proposalto sell such alcoholic
liquors by the drink as ~ereinafter provided in Section 48 of this
act.';~
Section 6 also has the following provision, to-wit:
"The question of licensing the sale of alcoholic liquors, other
then beer, by the packag~, may also be submitted at the general
municipal election every: two years thereafter in such city or Village
in the same manner.'
Section 48 abov, referred to in part provides as follows:
"The question of licensing the sale of alcoholic liquors either by
the drink or in the orig~nal package or both by the drink and in the
original package, as the: ease may be, may also be submitted at any
general municipal election except as otherwise provided in Section
6 of this act in any city or village in this state subject to the
following conditions or procedure:
The following ptocedures relate to the signing and presen~-
ment of the petition.
It is my opinion that the law clearly states in Section 6 that
the question of sellingil~quor by the package can only be submitted
every two years, and tha~ inasmuch as Section 48 recites that the
question of licensing the sale of such alcoholic liquors, either by
the drink or in the orig~nalpackage or both by the drink end in the
original package, as the: case may be, may also be submitted at any
general municipal electi~n, except as otherwise prOVided in Section
6 of this act.
Sectj.on 48 r~f.ets to the provisions in Section 6 wherein the
proposition for the saleiof alcoholic liquors by the package can
only be submitted every two years.
The propositioniof selling alcoholic liquors by the drinkwas
s~!b~1t-ted to the elector$ of the City of Grand Island on the 20th day
.
I
I
I
.
r>-: :'",," {,\
a { j
of August, 1935, which i~ approximately fourteen months ago, and
the question was at thattime settled, and, therefore, cannot be
brought up at least until the general municipal election in the
spring of 1937.
It is very evi~ent that the Legislature did not intend to
permit the electors to authorize the sale of alcoholio liquors either
by the drink or by the p~ckage, and thereafter permit the Liquor Con-
trol Commission to lssue.licenses and then to allow petitions and
r
special election to be filed and for special elections called when-
ever some group felt lik, asking that once be called. It is evident
that the Legislature int~nded that the sale of alcoholic liquors by
the drink or by the pack~ge should be permitted, and no election could
be called which would do. away wi th the sale of such liquors during the
period provided tor in t~e license.
If the contention of the supporters of this petition were
correct, nothing would b~ a petition asking for the submission of
the same question within the next thirty days.
The contention of the Attorney General of the State of
Nebraska is the same as ~erein expressed, and he has informed the
undersigned that he woul~ so advise the Liquor Control Commission if
the proposition were sub~itted to him by said Commission.
Dated this 19t~ day of October 1936.
Paul C. Holmberg
City Attorney
Attorney Cunningham representing liquor and beer dealers of
the City was present. He stated it was not for the Mayor and Council
to decide what the intention of the Legislature was, and urged that
the special election be called.
Mayor Dillon said he could not vote, but thought it best
to hold the election and have the question settled once and for all.
Gross stated in his opinion the City should abide by the
against
City Attorney's opinion-~not that he was/the proposition, but because
of the question as to whether or not the holding of a special election
was legal.
Gross moved the petition' be held over until the municipal
election in April, 1937. There was no second to his motion. Not
carried.

In lview of the excellent results which have
been obtaine~ by the Grand Island Police Department
through the ~edium of Mr . Geo. W. Krapp, whQbas been

dog census, ~ wish to make e. recommendation as regards
the salary of the officer mentioned.
In :the past the practice has been to pay this
officer the ~ount of 25 cents per dog. At the present
this amount ~s not enough to cover his expenses in-
ourred in th~s work as be uses his own car and furnishes
bis own tran~portation.

increased to 1t he amount of 50 cent s per dog.
As~ing your favorable consideration of this
amount, ,I am
