and filed with the county clerk his
bond, but it dons not have the en
dorsement of the county judge ap
proving the same.
"The statute requires that the
bonds of directors shall be approved
by the county judge and" recorded in
the office of the county clerkand
filed withthe secretary of the board
of directors. It seems that the only
attempt to comply with the statute
was to have the county judge ap
prove Mr. C. C. Clark's and Mr. M.
D. Clark's bonds and file them in
the office of the county clerk, as
none of the bonds have ever been
recorded in the office of the county
clerk.
"The statutory compensation for
the members of the board of direct
ors is as follows: 'The directors
shall each receive J3.00 per day and
mileage at the rate of ten cents per
mile, in attending meetings, and ac
tual and neeesary expenses while
engaged in official business undor
the order of the board.'
"It appears to have been the
practice of some of the directors to
charge compensation for each day
while engaged in any matters con
nected with the district, also to
matters purported to be connected
with t he district. It appears that
mileage was allowed for all the di
rectors attending the irrigation con
gress, as well as a salary of a stipu
lated sum per day. The statute ap
pears to be clear on this matter and
the directors were not entitled to
mileage or a salary while attending
an irrigation congress. It Is ex
tremely doubtful whether they arp
entitled to their actual or necessary
expenses, as I am of the opinion
that this would not constitute 'of
ficial business' as contemplated by
the statute.
"It appears to be the custom also
for the directors when attending a
meeting of the board to charge for
two days when traveling, the extra
day to compensate for the extra day
required in traveling. This is not
permissable under the statute.
"It is plain that, the compensa
tion provided by the legislature for
dirctora in attending meptinss is $3
per day while attending the meet
ings, and ten cents per mile. They
are not enlitlde to hotel bills nor
other expenses while attending meet
ings. The purpose of providing for
tencents per mile as -mileage is to
cover ihe necessary expenses inci
dent in the traveling.
"The approving, recording and fil
ing of the bond asrequired by the
statute is a necessary qualification
of each of the directors, and it is my
opinion that neither of the directors
have ever properly qualified. I am
further convinced that in Mr. Reit
mans 'Case, he has never been a
qualified director of the board, and
that in the meetings wherein he
and one other director constituted
the acting board, that the proceed
ings of such meetings were of no
effect.
"In the bills allowed for attendr
Ing the Irrigation congress, I, find
where Mr. Iteltmann has apparent
ly, by inadvertance been, allowed by
voucher No. 20, five days at $3 per
day per diem, which your secretary
informs me is meant for expenses,
at $4 per day $20.00. and 394
miles at ten cents a mile amount to
$39.40, and I find by voucher No.
25, where he is again allowed tlm
identical claim. Mr. Hermann nev
er having qualified as a director I
am of the opinion Uiat all sums al
lowed him, even to Ihe salary at
tending meetings, was illegal.
- "There appears to be no record
books of your meetings, and Hie
records of the district are ntoasrre to
ay the least. This is what is
termed a public corporation, and n c
ord should be kept (o all intents and
purposes as near a;1 possible in cen-
j foimity with the records of the
countv clerk. That is. suitable
bound hooks should be kept and in
which should be recorded the min
utes of your meetings and the
claims before being allowed, should
lie presented, properly itemized,, and
should he preserved as a part of the
records of the board, as this will
become a permanent record.
"Those warrants not issued to the
directors and not allowed and or
dered paid at the meetings at which
Mr. Keilniann and one other director
constituted the acting board. I am
of the opinion, the courts would sus
tain as a valid claim against the dis
trict, but the defective organization
as herein stated leaves many ques
tions open, and I could not rceom
mend any of the warrants in their
present conditions as -a desirable
Investment.
"I would suggest that Mr. M. I.
Clark and C. ('. Clark proceed to
qualify as required by statute by
having their bonds properly record
ed in Ihe office of the ror.tity clerk,
land filing the 'same with the sectv
j t.iry of the board of directors, ami

And with it lias gone our profits, as well as yours. The past year
has been a hard one for everyone alike. The fanner and stock
grower had to take immense losses and so did we.
WE HAVE TAKEN OURS Our inventory has been taken
and the losses crossed off. We are not going to say how great
they have been they were enough.
WE ARE GLAD IT IS OVER.
Every article in this store has been reduced regardless of its first
cost, and marked right down to and below its present worth .on
the markets of the world.
Let's forget 1920 and get together and push for a successful

We cannot do it all, and neither can you. But if wc all get to
gether and push, and push hard, things will come out all right.
