(c) When any arbitrator fails or is otherwise unable to act, and his successor has not been appointed in the manner in which he was appointed. Arbitrators appointed by the court shall have the same power as though their appointment has been made in accordance with the agreement to arbitrate. Sec. 5. Any application made under authority of this act shall be made in writing and heard in a summary way in the manner and upon the notice provided by law or rules of court for the making and hearing of motion, except as otherwise herein expressly provided.

Sec. 8. If the time within which the award shall be made is not fixed in the arbitration agreement, the award must be made within sixty days from the time of the appointment of the arbitrators, and an award made after the lapse of sixty days shall have no legal effect unless the parties extend the time in which said award may be made, which extension or ratification shall be in writing.

Sec. 14. The award of the arbitrators, or of a majority of them, shall be drawn up in writing and signed by the arbitrators or a majority of them; the award shall definitely deal with all matters of difference in the submission requiring settlement, but the arbitrators may, in their discretion, first make a partial award which shall be enforcible in the same manner as the final award; upon the making of an award, the arbitrators shall deliver a true copy thereof to each of the parties thereto, or their attorneys, without delay. Sec. 15. At any time within three months after the award is made, unless the parties shall extend the time in writing, any party to the arbitration may apply to the court for an order confirming the award, and the court shall grant such an order unless the award is vacated, modified, or corrected, as provided in the next two sections.

Sec. 2. Section 3 of the above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 3. (a) This act contemplates primarily the purchase, distribution and sale of electrical energy by the Mineral County power system as a public utility in the towns of Luckyboy, Hawthorne, Luning, Mina, Candelaria, and Simon, over its lines, and the board of county commissioners are hereby authorized and empowered to maintain and operate said electric lines as a high tension electric power system, and purchase all necessary materials and supplies for use thereon or in connection therewith, and to operate transformers, substations and distributing systems at those points, or at other points to which the system lines may be hereafter extended, but nothing herein shall be construed so as to require or compel said board to maintain and operate said system at any of said points if, in the judgment of said board, as recorded in their minutes, it shall appear that so to do would be uneconomical and likely to result in an operating loss. (b) Whenever in the unanimous judgment of the board of managers (such opinion and the facts upon which it is based to be set forth in full upon their minutes), it shall appear that an extension of the lines of said system (either primary or secondary, as the same may be defined by the board), would be a profitable investment for said utility and promote the general welfare of the community or section proposed to be served, they may authorized the same to be constructed, and enter into contracts therefor, upon the express conditions that such extension be built by or under the complete supervision and control of such board, and that the entire cost of such extension and construction shall be advanced and paid to the county by the consumer or consumers whom it is proposed to serve; provided, that such total cost, which shall include erection, may be rebated to such consumer or consumers through monthly bills for service incurred within a period of four years immediately following the construction of such extension, at the rate of not less than twenty-five per cent (25%) annually, and that the title to such line extensions shall at all times be in and remain with the Mineral County power system, whether said cost shall have been fully rebated within the four year period or not, and such extension shall be considered a part of the Mineral County power system authorized by this act. |

(c) The entire cost, including erection and installation of all operating equipment necessary on such line extensions, including transformers, substations, fixtures, lightning arresters and other necessary electrical equipment, shall be borne by the consumer or consumers served, and no part of such cost shall be rebated by the board of managers, either directly or indirectly; provided, however, that with the consent and approval of the board of managers, power may be sold and consumers served from the lines of said system, in cases where line extensions are built and necessary operating equipment installed (all to be of the standard required and approved by such board), at the expense of said consumer or consumers and where the title to such extension and equipment remains in the consumer or consumers, but in every such case, no part of the cost of erection, installation or maintenance shall be paid or rebated, either directly or indirectly, to said consumer or consumers, nor shall such extension with its operating equipment be deemed or considered a part of the Mineral County power system. (d) The board as a condition precedent to entering into or authorizing any contract providing for extensions of their primary or secondary lines, shall specifically require that all electrical equipment proposed to be installed by such consumer or consumers shall be of the standard type and quality required and approved by the Mineral County power system, and that the erection and installation thereof shall be under the complete supervision and control of said board, and be made in accord with their standard of practice and requirements covering such installations. (e) If an extension of the system lines (either primary or secondary) to any particular point shall hereafter be built under the foregoing conditions, and it shall subsequently appear to such board that the public convenience of such community or locality would be promoted and served and that it would be a profitable investment if a local distributing system were to be erected and installed thereat, the board of managers upon receiving and filing a petition signed by not less than sixty-five per cent (65%) in number of the taxpayers of said community or locality proposed to be served (said percentage to be ascertained by an examination of the assessment rolls for the current year, and covering such community or locality) may, after causing all such facts to appear affirmatively upon their minutes, order the erection and installation of such local distributing system, and of all necessary operating equipment, and the same shall thereafter be a part of the Mineral County power system, but subject nevertheless to the conditions set forth in paragraph (a) of this section as to suspension in case of unprofitable operation; provided, that in the event of an extension of the lines of the Mineral County power system being proposed and authorized to any adjoining county within the State of Nevada, no license or franchise shall be required or exacted as a condition precedent by the board of county commissioners of such adjoining county to the making of such extension, and the authority granted by this act to the county of Mineral to operate the Mineral County power system as a public utility, shall be full warrant for the making of any such extension, and the same shall be exempt from taxation. |

(f) It is the express intent of this section that the board of managers may consent to make and contract for line extensions of said system upon the entire cost thereof as above defined, being advanced to the county, and that said cost may be rebated, as hereinbefore provided, but that such line extension shall not be construed to include any transformer, substation or fixtures, lightning arresters or other electrical equipment necessary, no part of the cost of which shall or may be rebated, either directly or indirectly, to such consumer by the county.

(e) The district attorney shall, without additional compensation, act as attorney and counselor for said utility, and perform such duties as attorney and counselor thereof as may be required of him by the board of county commissioners; provided, he shall be allowed his necessary expenses incurred when required by said board to attend to matters connected with said utility away from his office, and such expenses shall be a charge against said utility, and be audited, allowed and paid as are other claims against the county. He shall be liable upon his official bond for the faithful discharge of his duties hereunder. (f) The board of county commissioners are hereby made an ex officio board of managers of said utility, without additional compensation, unless otherwise provided by law, and they shall cause to be kept all necessary records and books thereof. The record of proceedings of the said board of managers shall be kept separate and apart from the minutes of the board of county commissioners in volumes to be provided for the purpose, and all matters relating to such utility which shall come before said board for consideration and action shall be recorded therein, including claims approved for payment, and to which records a proper index shall be maintained. The board shall cause to be transcribed from the minutes of the board of county commissioners, all matters and proceedings relating to such utility from the date of its inception that there may exist a separate and consecutive record of all acts and proceedings affecting such utility, which record shall remain in the office of the county clerk; provided, however, all claims against such utility approved for payment by the general manager thereof shall be finally acted upon and be subject to allowance or rejection by the board of county commissioners, and be audited by the county auditor as all other claims against such county. Sec. 4. Section 16 of said above-entitled act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 16. The maintenance and operation of said Mineral County power system shall be under the control, supervision and authority of the board of managers, and rates charged to consumers for sale and distribution of electrical energy and current, and the tolls for telephone service, with the terms and conditions thereof, shall be fixed by said board, subject to the supervision of the Nevada public service commission, who may revise, raise or lower the same. |

Injured employee entitled to accident benefits
Fund provided for accident benefits
Duties of employer |
Section 23(a). Every injured employee within the provisions of this act shall be entitled to receive, and shall receive promptly, such medical, surgical and hospital or other treatment, including nursing, medicines, medical and surgical supplies, crutches and apparatus, including artificial members, as may reasonably be required at the time of the injury and within six months thereafter, which may be further extended by the Nevada industrial commission for an additional period of one year. The benefits conferred by this paragraph upon the injured employee shall hereafter be termed Accident Benefits. (b) For the purpose of providing a fund to take care of said accident benefits as in this act provided the Nevada industrial commission is authorized and directed to collect a premium upon the total pay-roll of every employer, except as hereinafter provided, in such a percentage as the commission shall by order fix; every employer paying such premium shall be relieved from furnishing accident benefits, and the same shall be provided by the Nevada industrial commission. Every employer paying such premium for accident benefits may collect one-half thereof, not to exceed one dollar per month from each employee, and may deduct the same from the wages of such employee. The Nevada industrial commission shall have the authority to adopt such reasonable rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this subdivision of this section. All fees and charges for such accident benefits shall be subject to regulation by the commission, and shall be limited to such charges as prevail in the same community for similar treatment of injured persons of like standard of living. The state insurance fund provided for in this act shall not be liable for any accident benefits provided by this section, but the fund provided for accident benefits shall be a separate and distinct fund, and shall be so kept. (c) It shall be the duty of every employer accepting the provisions of this act, immediately upon the occurrence of an injury to any of his employees, to render to such employee all necessary first aid, including cost of transportation of the injured employee from the place of injury to the nearest place of proper treatment where the injury is such as to make it reasonably necessary for such transportation; such employer shall forthwith notify the commission of such accident, giving the name of the injured employee, the nature of the accident and where and by whom the injured employee is being treated, and the date of the accident. Every employer paying accident benefit premiums to the Nevada industrial commission furnishing such first aid shall be entitled to receive from the commission the amount of such expenditure reasonably made. |

(d) Every employer operating under this act alone or together with other employers may make arrangements for the purpose of providing accident benefits as defined in this act for injured employees, and such employer may collect one-half of the cost of such accident benefits from their collective employees, not to exceed one dollar per month from any one employee, and may deduct the same from the wages of each employee. Employers electing to make such arrangements for providing accident benefits shall notify the Nevada industrial commission of such election and render a detailed statement of the arrangements made. Every employer who maintains a hospital of any kind for his employees, or who contracts with a physician for the hospital care of injured employees, shall, on or before the thirtieth day of January of each year, make a written report to the Nevada industrial commission for the preceding year, which report shall contain a statement showing: (1) Total amount of hospital fees collected, showing separately the amount contributed by the employees, and the amount contributed by the employers; (2) an itemized account of the expenditures, investments, or other disposition of such fees, and (3) a statement showing what balance, if any, remains. Such reports shall be verified by the employer, if an individual; by a member, if a partnership; by the secretary, president, general manager or other executive officer, if a corporation; by the physician, if contracted to a physician. Every employer who fails to so notify said Nevada industrial commission of such election and arrangements, or who fails to render the financial report required herein, shall be liable for accident benefits as heretofore provided by subdivision (b) of this section. (e) If it be shown or the commission finds that the employer is furnishing the requirements of medical, surgical, or hospital aid or treatment provided for in this act in such a manner that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the health, life, or recovery of the employee is being endangered or impaired thereby, the commission may, upon application of the employee or upon its own motion, order a change in the physician or other requirements, and if the employer fails to promptly comply with such order, the injured employee may elect to have such medical, surgical, or hospital aid or treatment provided by or through the Nevada industrial commission, in which event the cause of action of said injured employee against the employer or hospital association shall be assigned to the Nevada industrial commission for the benefit of the state insurance fund, and the Nevada industrial commission shall furnish to said injured employee the medical, surgical, or hospital aid or treatment provided for in this act. |

Failure on the part of any such employer to comply with the foregoing provisions shall operate as a rejection of this act, effective at the expiration of the period covered by his estimate; and further provided, that if an audit of the accounts or actual pay-roll of such employer shows the actual premium earned to have exceeded the estimated advance premium paid, the commission may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover such deficit, together with such amount as in its judgment would constitute an adequate advance premium for the period covered by the estimate. As soon as possible after the expiration of each quarter-year, beginning with September 30, 1925, it shall be the duty of the state auditor, and the auditor of each county, and the clerk of each municipal corporation, city, and school district, to furnish the Nevada industrial commission with a true and accurate pay-roll of said state, county, municipal corporation, city, school district, or contractor, or subcontractor, under said state, county, municipal corporation, city, or school district, showing the aggregate number of shifts worked during the preceding quarter, the total amount paid to employees for services performed during said quarter, and a segregation of employment in accordance with the requirements of the commission; and it shall be the duty of each of the said auditors and clerks to make up and submit to the respective governing boards of the state and each county, municipal corporation, city and school district, for approval, a claim for the amount of premiums due the commission, and the state controller, county auditor, city clerk, or clerk of school districts may deduct and remit to the Nevada industrial commission the amount of such premium from any settlement with any contractor or subcontractor. Any official who fails or refuses to comply with the provisions for this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor for each and every offense, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not less than fifty ($50) dollars, nor more than two hundred ($200) dollars. Sec. 21(a). The Nevada industrial commission shall have the power, as experience and conditions demand, to increase or decrease the rates above provided; sixty days notice of any change in rates shall be given before the same shall become effective; the commission shall have the power, and it shall be its duty, to classify occupations with respect to their degree of hazard, and determine the risks of the different classes and fix the rates of premiums of the same, based upon the total pay-roll and number of employees in each of said classes of occupation and sufficiently large to provide an adequate fund for the compensation provided for in this act, and to create a surplus sufficiently large to guarantee a satisfactory state insurance fund from year to year. |

Sec. 21(b). In that the intent is that the state insurance fund and the accident benefit fund shall ultimately be neither more nor less than self-supporting, the actual loss experience of the several classes of those funds shall be ascertained as soon as practical after the first day of July, 1919, for the first five years operation of the fund, and annually thereafter within six months after the close of each fiscal year, and should it then be shown that there exists an excess of assets over liabilities, such liabilities to include the necessary reserves and the sum of $100,000 for the catastrophe hazard, then the commission shall either allow a credit to the account of or declare a cash dividend to each individual member of any class which is shown to have made contributions in excess of liabilities properly chargeable to such class, the amount of the credit so allowed or cash dividend declared to be proportionate to the amount of money said individual member of such class has paid or contributed to said fund. Sec. 4. Section 41 of the above-entitled act as amended is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 41. If a workman or employee, within the provisions of this act, who has been hired in this state, and whose usual and ordinary duties of such employment are confined to the state, is sent out of the state on business or employment of his employer, and receives personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of such employment, he shall be entitled to receive compensation according to the provisions of this act, even though such injury was received outside of this state. Any employer of labor in the State of Nevada and any employee thereof, whether hired in or out of the state and whose duties may be partially or wholly out of the state, may, by their joint election, elect to come under the provisions of this act in the manner following: Both the employer and the employee shall file with the commission a written statement that they accept the provisions of the Nevada industrial insurance act. When filed, such statement shall operate to subject them to the provisions of said act, and of all acts amendatory thereof, until such time as the employer or employee shall thereafter file in the office of the commission a notice in writing that he withdraws his election. After such joint election is made, any employee who receives personal injury by accident arising out of and in the course of such employment shall be entitled to receive compensation according to the provisions of this act, |

Whenever in the judgment of said state board it appears advisable that such a school census should be taken said board shall give notice to all the school districts concerned before the first day of February that such a school census is to be taken. In taking such census in all districts having less than twenty pupils in average daily attendance as shown by the annual reports for the preceding school year the qualified teacher shall be ex officio school census marshal and shall serve without compensation for such service; provided, that if there shall not be any regular teacher employed and engaged in teaching in such school district on the first day of March of said year, |

This section shall not be construed in such a way as to prevent the appointment of a member of the board of school trustees as school census marshal. If the board of school trustees of any district shall fail to make the appointment of school census marshal, as hereinbefore provided, before the fifteenth day of March the deputy superintendent of public instruction shall make said appointment and such appointee shall be the lawfully authorized school census marshal for said district. Sec. 2. Section 124 of said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 124.

The board of trustees shall, in case of two marshals in the same district, designate which marshal shall compile the final report for the deputy superintendent of public instruction and the board of trustees. Before the school census marshal shall enter upon the performance of his duties, he shall take and subscribe to the oath of office, and such oath shall be filed in the office of the deputy superintendent of public instruction. It shall be the duty of the school census marshals to take in the month of April of said year a census of the resident children of the districts for which they shall be appointed, and to report the same to the deputy superintendent of public instruction.

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:

Sec. 3. The board of county commissioners, hereinafter referred to as The Board, shall have authority to make such reasonable rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this act, not in conflict herewith. Sec. 4. The amount of pension shall be fixed with due regard to the conditions of each case, but in no case shall it be an amount which, when added to the income of the applicant, including income from property, as computed under the terms of this act, shall exceed a total of $1 a day. Sec. 5. An old-age pension may be granted only to an applicant who: (a) Has attained the age of 65 years or upwards.

(b) If the board deems it necessary to protect the interest of the county, it may require as a condition to the granting of a pension certificate that all or any part of the property of the applicant for a pension be transferred to the board. Such property shall be managed by the board, which shall pay the net income therefrom to the person or persons entitled thereto. The board shall have power to sell, lease, or transfer such property, or defend and prosecute all suits concerning it, and to pay all just claims against it, and to do all other things necessary for the protection, preservation, and management of the property.
