however, that the capital of the corporation shall not be decreased except in the manner provided in section 25 of this act; (4) By changing the name of the corporation; or (5) By making any other change or alteration in its certificate or articles of incorporation that may be desired. Any and all such changes or alterations may be effected by one certificate of amendment; provided, that any certificate or articles of incorporation so amended, changed or altered, shall contain only such provisions as it would be lawful and proper to insert in an original certificate or articles of incorporation, pursuant to section 4 of this act, executed, acknowledged and filed at the time of making such amendment. Whenever issued, shares having par value are changed into the same or a greater or less number of shares without par value, whether of the same or a different class or classes of shares, the aggregate amount of the capital of the corporation represented by such shares without par value shall be the same as the aggregate amount of capital represented by the shares so changed; and whenever issued, shares without par value are changed into other shares without par value to a greater or lesser number, whether of the same or of a different class or classes, the amount of capital represented by the new shares in the aggregate shall be the same as the aggregate amount of capital represented by the shares so changed.

Different series of the same class of shares shall not be deemed to constitute different classes of shares for the purpose of voting by classes except when such series is adversely affected by an amendment in a different manner than other series of the same class. Sec. 2. Section 18 of the above-entitled act, being section 1617 N. C. L. 1929, is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 18. Every stockholder shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by officers or agents designated by the corporation for the purpose, certifying the number of shares owned by him in such corporation; provided, that whenever any certificate is countersigned or otherwise authenticated by a transfer agent or transfer clerk, and by a registrar, then a facsimile of the signatures of the officers or agents of the corporation may be printed or lithographed upon such certificate in lieu of the actual signatures. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of such corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by such corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by such corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon, had not ceased to be such officer or officers of such corporation. |

The delivery of a certificate of stock in a corporation to a bona fide purchaser or pledgee, for value, together with a written transfer of the same, or a written power of attorney to sell, assign and transfer the same, signed by the owner of the certificate, shall be a sufficient delivery to transfer the title against all parties except the corporation. No transfer of stock shall be valid against the corporation until it shall have been registered upon the books of the corporation. Sec. 3. The above-entitled act is hereby amended by adding thereto, immediately after section 18 thereof, being section 1617 N. C. L. 1929, as hereby amended, a new section to be known as section 18a, to read as follows: Section 18a. When the certificate or articles of incorporation are amended in any way affecting the statements contained in the certificates for outstanding shares, or it becomes desirable for any reason, in the discretion of the board of directors, to cancel any outstanding certificate for shares and issue a new certificate therefor conforming to the rights of the holder, the board of directors may order any holders of outstanding certificates for shares to surrender and exchange them for new certificates within a reasonable time to be fixed by the board of directors. Such order may provide that no holder of any such certificate so ordered to be surrendered shall be entitled to vote or to receive dividends or exercise any of the other rights of shareholders of record until he shall have complied with such order, but such order shall only operate to suspend such rights after notice and until compliance. Such duty of surrender of any outstanding certificates may also be enforced by action at law. Sec. 4. Section 39 of the above-entitled act, being section 1638 N. C. L. 1929, is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 39.

an agreement signed by them and under the corporate seals of the respective corporations, prescribing the terms and conditions of merger or consolidation, the mode of carrying the merger or consolidation into effect, and the manner and basis of causing the shares of each of the constituent corporations to constitute or to be converted into shares (whether the same or a different number or class or classes or kind or kinds of shares) of the surviving or consolidated corporation, with such other details and provisions as are deemed necessary or desirable. If the agreement be for a merger, it shall state any matters with respect to which the certificate or articles of incorporation of the surviving corporation are to be amended, and the certificate or articles of incorporation shall be deemed to be amended accordingly upon the filing of the agreement in the office of the secretary of state. If the agreement be for a consolidation, it shall state the matters required or permitted by section 4 of this act to be set forth in a certificate or articles of incorporation, and such statements shall be deemed to be the certificate or articles of incorporation of the consolidated corporation, upon the filing of the agreement in the office of the secretary of state. The agreement may state, as the amount of capital of the surviving or consolidated corporation, as the case may be, any amount not less than (a) the aggregate par value of the shares having par value of the surviving or consolidated corporation to be distributed in place of shares of the constituent corporations issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time when said agreement becomes effective as hereinafter provided, including also, in the case of a merger in which shares of the surviving corporation with par value outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such merger are, by the terms of said agreement, thereafter to remain outstanding, the amount of capital represented by such shares; and (b) the amount of capital represented by the shares without par value of the surviving or consolidated corporation to be distributed in place of shares of the constituent corporations issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time when said agreement becomes effective as hereinafter provided, including also, in the case of a merger in which shares of the surviving corporation without par value outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such merger are, by the terms of said agreement, thereafter to remain outstanding, the amount of capital represented by such shares. The agreement may provide that any given portion of the surplus appearing on the books of the constituent corporations, whatever the nature or origin of the same may be, shall, to the extent to which such surplus is not capitalized by the issue of shares of the surviving or consolidated corporation or otherwise, be entered as surplus on the books of the surviving or consolidated corporation and all such surplus shall thereafter be dealt with as surplus available for dividends and for other corporate purposes; and if the agreement so provides, any portion of such surplus so entered on the books of the surviving or consolidated corporation shall be of the same character as it was on the books of the constituent corporations. |

The agreement may also provide that any given portion of the deficit appearing on the books of the constituent corporations, to the extent to which such deficit is not eliminated, shall be entered as a deficit on the books of the surviving or consolidated corporation and shall thereafter be treated as such. The agreement may further provide for the distribution of cash, property or securities, in whole or in part, in lieu of shares, to stockholders of the constituent corporations or any of them; provided, however, that upon such distribution of cash, property or securities in lieu of shares, the liabilities of the surviving or consolidated corporation, and the amount of capital of the surviving or consolidated corporation stated in the agreement as the amount with which the surviving or consolidated corporation shall continue or begin business, shall not exceed the amount at which the assets of such surviving or consolidated corporation were carried on the books of the constituent corporation immediately prior to the time when said agreement becomes effective as hereinafter provided, after giving effect to such distribution. (2) Said agreement shall be submitted to the stockholders of each constituent corporation at a meeting thereof, called for the purpose of considering and taking action upon said agreement. Notice of the time, place and object of each such meeting shall be given in the manner required by section 27 of this act to each stockholder of each of the constituent corporations. At each such meeting said agreement shall be considered and a vote by ballot, in person or by proxy, taken for the adoption or rejection of the said agreement; and if the votes of stockholders of each constituent corporation representing not less than a majority of each class of the issued and outstanding shares of each such constituent corporation, even though their right to vote be otherwise restricted or denied, shall be for the adoption of the said agreement, then that fact shall be set forth in a certificate attached to said agreement by the secretary or assistant secretary of each constituent corporation, under the corporate seal thereof; and the agreement so adopted and certified shall be signed by the president or vice president, and secretary or assistant secretary, of each constituent corporation under the corporate seal thereof, and acknowledged by the president or vice president of each constituent corporation, before any officer authorized by the laws of this state to take acknowledgments of deeds, to be the respective act, deed and agreement of each constituent corporation, and the agreement so certified and acknowledged shall be filed in the office of the secretary of state, and shall thence be taken and deemed to be the agreement and act of merger or consolidation of the said constituent corporations; and a certified copy thereof shall be prima-facie evidence of the performance of all conditions precedent to such merger or consolidation, and of the continued existence of the surviving corporation or of the creation and existence of the consolidated corporation. |

The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
NEW TRIALS AND APPEALS
Re New Trials
Section 1. A new trial is a reexamination of an issue of fact in the same court after a trial and decision by a jury, court, or referee. Sec. 2. The former verdict or other decision may be vacated, and a new trial granted on the motion of the party aggrieved, for any of the following causes or grounds materially affecting the substantial rights of such party: |

1. Irregularity in the proceedings of the court, jury, referee, or adverse party, or any order of the court, or referee, or abuse of discretion by which either party was prevented from having a fair trial. 2. Misconduct of the jury or prevailing party. 3. Accident or surprise which ordinary prudence could not have guarded against. 4. Newly discovered evidence material for the party making the motion which he could not, with reasonable diligence, have discovered and produced at the trial. 5. Manifest disregard by the jury of the instructions of the court. 6. Excessive damages appearing to have been given under the influence of passion or prejudice. 7. Insufficiency of the evidence to justify the verdict or other decision, or that it is against law. 8. Error in law occurring at the trial and excepted to by the party making the motion. Sec. 3. In the notice of intention to move for a new trial, it shall be sufficient for the party applying for the same to state, in the language of the statute only, or in language of similar import, one or more grounds as specified in the preceding section; provided, that when the motion is made upon subdivisions 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the preceding section, it must be supported by affidavit. In all other actions or proceedings it must be made upon the minutes of the court without any bill of exceptions. The motion for a new trial shall be heard at the earliest practicable period after notice of intention to move for a new trial has been served, if the motion is to be heard upon the minutes of the court, and in other actions or proceedings after the affidavits are filed. It may be brought to a hearing by either party upon five days written notice to the opposite party. On such hearing, reference may be had in all actions or proceedings to the pleadings and the orders of the court, and, when the motion is made on the minutes, reference may also be had to the depositions, documentary evidence, and the stenographic notes or report of the testimony and the records of the court. All causes or grounds for a new trial, which are not stated in the notice of intention to move for a new trial, must be deemed to have been waived. The court or judge granting or refusing a new trial may state, in writing, generally, the grounds upon which the same is granted or refused. The verdict of the jury may also be vacated and a new trial granted by the court in which the action or proceeding is pending, on its own motion, without the application of either of the parties when there has been such a plain disregard by the jury of the instructions of the court, or the evidence in the case, as to satisfy the court that the verdict was rendered under a misapprehension of such instructions, or under the influence of passion or prejudice, but not more than two new trials shall be granted by the court, upon its own motion, or otherwise upon the ground that the verdict is contrary to the weight of the evidence. |
κ1937 Statutes of Nevada, Page 55 (CHAPTER 32, AB 47)κ

the verdict was rendered under a misapprehension of such instructions, or under the influence of passion or prejudice, but not more than two new trials shall be granted by the court, upon its own motion, or otherwise upon the ground that the verdict is contrary to the weight of the evidence. Sec. 4. The party intending to move for a new trial mustwithin five days after the verdict of the jury, if the action was tried by jury, or within ten days after service, by the prevailing party in the action or proceeding upon the unsuccessful party thereto, of a written notice of the decision of the court, or referee, if the action was tried without a jury-serve upon the adverse party and file with the clerk of the court a notice of his intention to move for a new trial, designating the grounds upon which the motion will be made, and whether the same will be made upon affidavits or upon the minutes of the court; provided, it shall not be necessary to serve said notice of intention to move for a new trial upon any party to the action or proceeding who has not appeared therein or against whom default has been entered by the clerk or by the court. Said notice of intention to move for a new trial shall be deemed to be a motion for a new trial on all the grounds stated in the notice. Sec. 5. If the motion for a new trial is to be made upon affidavits, the moving party must, within five days after serving the notice of intention to move for a new trial, serve such affidavits, by delivering copy thereof, upon the adverse party, and file the original affidavits with the clerk of the court. The adverse party shall have five days after such service of the affidavits to file counter affidavits, which must be served upon the moving party by delivering a copy thereof.
Re Appeals
Sec. 6. Any judgment or order in a civil action or proceeding, except when expressly made final by this act, may be reviewed as prescribed by this act, and not otherwise. Sec. 7. Any party aggrieved may appeal in any action, case or proceeding prescribed in this act. The party appealing shall be designated as the appellant, and the adverse party as the respondent. Sec. 8. Any party aggrieved may appeal from the final judgment rendered in any action, case or proceeding prescribed in this act with or without first moving for a new trial. Sec. 9. Where a motion for a new trial is made, it must be based upon the causes or grounds, or either of them, designated in section 2 of this act, as causes or grounds for a new trial, and the notice of intention to move for a new trial, stating therein such causes or grounds intended to be relied upon, must be served by the unsuccessful party in the action or proceeding upon the prevailing party and filed as in this act prescribed. |

When appeal may be taken
How appeal may be taken |
action or proceeding upon the prevailing party and filed as in this act prescribed. Sec. 10. An appeal may be taken: 1. From a final judgment in an action or proceeding commenced in the court in which the judgment is rendered, within six months after the rendition of the judgment. 2. From an order granting or refusing a new trial, or granting or refusing to grant or dissolving or refusing to dissolve an injunction, or appointing or refusing to appoint a receiver, or vacating or refusing to vacate an order appointing a receiver, or dissolving or refusing to dissolve an attachment, or changing or refusing to change the place of trial, and from any special order made after final judgment, within sixty days after service, by the prevailing party in the action or proceeding upon the unsuccessful party thereto, of a written notice that the order has been made and entered in the minutes of the court. 3. From an interlocutory judgment, order or decree hereafter made or entered in actions to redeem real or personal property from a mortgage thereof or lien thereon, determining such right to redeem and directing an accounting, and from an interlocutory judgment in actions for partition which determines the rights and interests of the respective parties and directs partition, sale or division to be made, within sixty days after service, by the prevailing party in the action or proceeding upon the unsuccessful party thereto, of a written notice of the rendition of the judgment or order. 4. If an order granting or refusing to grant a motion to change the place of trial of an action or proceeding is not directly appealed from within the said sixty days, there shall be no appeal therefrom on appeal from the judgment in the action or proceeding or otherwise, and on demand or motion of either party to an action or proceeding the court or judge making the order changing or refusing to change the place of trial of an action or proceeding shall make an order staying the trial of the action or proceeding until the time to appeal from such order, changing or refusing to change the place of trial, shall have lapsed; or if an appeal from such order is taken, until such appeal shall, in the appellate court, or in some other manner, be legally determined. Sec. 11. An appeal is taken by filing with the clerk of the court in which the judgment or order appealed from is entered, a written notice stating the appeal from the same or some specific part thereof, and within three days thereafter serving a similar written notice or copy thereof on the adverse party or his attorney; provided, it shall not be necessary to serve said notice of appeal upon any party to the action or proceeding who has not appeared therein or against whom default has been entered by the clerk or by the court. |

the court. When the appeal is from the judgement and from an order denying a motion for a new trial, one notice of appeal so specifying shall be sufficient. The order of filing or of service is immaterial, but the appeal is ineffectual for any purpose unless within five days after service of the notice of appeal an undertaking be filed, or a deposit of money be made with the clerk, as hereinafter provided, or the undertaking be waived by the adverse party in writing, and filed with the clerk. Sec. 12. Upon an appeal from a judgment, the court may review the verdict or decision, and any intermediate ruling, proceeding, order or decision which involves an issue of law or the merits or which necessarily affects the judgment, or which substantially affects the rights of a party, which comes within the specifications of error and record on appeal or is embraced in the bill of exceptions. The provisions of this section do not authorize the court to review any decision or order from which an appeal might have been taken. Sec. 13. Where the action or proceeding has been determined upon an agreed statement of facts, and the appeal is upon the ground that the judgment is contrary thereto, the appeal may be taken upon a copy of the statement of facts and the judgment roll, certified by the clerk of the court or by the parties or their attorneys, without other statement or bill of exceptions. Sec. 14. When a party desires to appeal on the ground that the decision, judgment, or order is contrary to the findings, the appeal may be taken upon a copy of the judgment roll which includes the findings, certified by the clerk of the court or by the parties or their attorneys, if the appeal is from a judgment; or upon a copy of the findings attached to a copy of the order, all certified by the clerk of the court or by the parties or their attorneys, if the appeal is from an order. Sec. 15. In cases tried by the court, without a jury, no judgment shall be reversed for want of a finding, or for a defective finding of the facts, unless exceptions be made in the court below to the finding or to the want of a finding after application to the court for additions to or modification of the findings with notice given to the adverse party as prescribed in section 286 of an act entitled An act to regulate proceedings in civil cases in this state, and to repeal all other acts in relation thereto, approved March 17, 1911, as amended by an act entitled An act to amend section 286 of an act entitled An act to regulate proceedings in civil cases in this state and to repeal all other acts in relation thereto, approved March 17, 1911, as amended, being section 8784 Nevada Compiled Laws 1929, volume 4, approved February 20, 1931. Upon failure of the court on such application to remedy the alleged error, the party moving shall be entitled to his exceptions. |

Procedure to render appeal effectual
Appeal not to stay execution of judgment or order, when |
application to remedy the alleged error, the party moving shall be entitled to his exceptions. Sec. 16. To render an appeal effectual for any purpose, in any action or proceeding, a written undertaking must be executed on the part of the appellant by at least two qualified and sufficient sureties, or by a bonding or surety company qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to the effect that the appellant will pay all damages and costs which may be awarded against him on the appeal, not exceeding three hundred dollars; or that sum shall be deposited with the clerk with whom the judgment or order was entered, to abide the event of the appeal. Such undertaking must be filed, or such deposit made with the clerk of the court, within five days after the notice of appeal has been served upon the adverse party or his attorney, as herein prescribed; provided, however, that nothing in this section shall apply when the State of Nevada or any county, city or town of the State of Nevada or officer thereof in his official capacity, is the appellant; nor shall such undertaking, as provided for in this section, be necessary to perfect such appeal when the action or proceeding is brought for and in the name of this state, or for and in the name of any county in the state. Sec. 17. If the appeal be from a judgment or order directing the payment of money, or from an order dissolving or refusing to dissolve an attachment, it shall not stay the execution of the judgment or order unless a written undertaking be executed on the part of the appellant, by two or more qualified and sufficient sureties, stating their place of residence and occupation, or by a bonding or surety company qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to the effect that they or it, as the case may be, are bound in double the amount named in the judgment or order, or double the sum of the value of the property attached, as the case may be; that if the judgment or order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, or such appeal be dismissed, the appellant shall pay the amount directed to be paid by the judgment or order, or the part of such amount as to which the judgment or order shall be affirmed, if affirmed only in part, and all damages, including interest and costs, which shall be awarded against the appellant upon the appeal, and that if the appellant does not make such payment within thirty days after the filing of the remittitur from the supreme court, in the court in which the appeal is taken, judgment may be entered, on motion of the respondent, in his favor against the sureties or surety for such amount, together with the interest that may be due thereon and the damages and costs which may be awarded against the appellant upon the appeal. When the judgment or order appealed from is made payable in a specified kind of money or currency, the undertaking required by this section shall be drawn and made payable in the same kind of money or currency specified in said judgment or order, and in case of any appeal from an order dissolving or refusing to dissolve an attachment, such undertaking shall be conditioned that if the order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, the appellant shall pay to the opposing party, on such appeal, all damages and costs caused by him by reason of said appeal and the stay of execution thereon. |

or order appealed from is made payable in a specified kind of money or currency, the undertaking required by this section shall be drawn and made payable in the same kind of money or currency specified in said judgment or order, and in case of any appeal from an order dissolving or refusing to dissolve an attachment, such undertaking shall be conditioned that if the order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, the appellant shall pay to the opposing party, on such appeal, all damages and costs caused by him by reason of said appeal and the stay of execution thereon. Sec. 18. An appeal may be taken from an order granting or denying a motion for a new trial and from the judgment at the same time by giving only one undertaking, in the sum of three hundred dollars, for the costs on appeal; and in the notice of such double appeal it may be stated that the appeal is from both the judgment and the order granting or denying the motion for a new trial, and upon the taking of such double appeal the one undertaking to stay execution in the ordinary form, and in the amount required to stay execution on appeal from the judgment, is sufficient to stay the execution. Sec. 19. If the judgment or order appealed from direct the assignment or delivery of documents, or personal property, the execution of the judgment or order shall not be stayed by or upon appeal, unless the things required to be assigned or delivered be assigned and placed in the custody of such officer or receiver as the court may appoint, and an undertaking be entered into on the part of the appellant, with at least two qualified and sufficient sureties, or a bonding or surety company qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to be approved by the court or judge and in such amount as the court or judge thereof may direct, to the effect that the appellant will, if the judgment or order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, pay to the opposing party on such appeal all damages and costs caused by him by reason of such appeal and the stay of execution thereof. In lieu of the assignment and delivery, and of the undertaking hereinbefore provided for, the appellant may enter into an undertaking, with at least two qualified and sufficient sureties, or a bonding or surety company qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to be approved by the court or judge, and in such amount as the court or judge thereof may direct, to the effect that if the judgment or order, or any part thereof, be affirmed, the appellant will obey the order of the appellate court upon the appeal and pay to the opposing party on such appeal all damages and costs caused by reason of said appeal and the stay of execution thereon. |

Sec. 20. If the judgment or order appealed from direct the execution of a conveyance or other instrument, the execution of the judgment or order shall not be stayed by the appeal until the instrument is executed and deposited with the clerk of the court with whom the judgment or order is entered, to abide the judgment of the appellate court, and an undertaking be executed on the part of the appellant, by at least two qualified and sufficient sureties, or a bonding or surety company authorized and qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to be approved by the court or judge, and in such amount as the court or judge thereof may direct, to the effect that the appellant will, if the judgment or order appealed from, or any part thereof, be affirmed, pay to the opposing party on such appeal all damages and costs caused by him by reason of such appeal and the stay of the execution thereof. Sec. 21. If the judgment or order appealed from direct the sale or delivery of possession of real property, the execution of the same shall not be stayed unless a written undertaking be executed on the part of the appellant, with two or more qualified and sufficient sureties, or a bonding or surety company qualified to do business in the State of Nevada, to the effect that during the possession of such property by the appellant he will not commit, nor suffer to be committed, any waste thereon, and that if the judgment be affirmed he will pay the value of the use and occupation of the property from the time of the appeal until the delivery of possession thereof, pursuant to the judgment or order, not exceeding a sum to be fixed by the judge of the court by which the judgment was rendered or order made, and which shall be specified in the undertaking. When the judgment is for the sale or mortgaged premises, and the payment for a deficiency arising upon the sale, the undertaking shall also provide for the payment of such deficiency. In all other cases, not provided for in sections 16, 17, 19, 20, or 21 hereof, the amount and conditions of the undertaking to stay the execution of the judgment or order shall be fixed by the court or the judge thereof, in which the judgment was rendered or the order made. Sec. 22. Whenever an appeal is perfected, and an undertaking given as provided for by sections 17, 19, 20, or 21 of this act, it shall stay all further proceedings in the court below, upon the judgment or order appealed from, or upon matter embraced therein, except as specified in section 25 of this act; but the court below may proceed upon any other matter included in the action or proceeding and not affected by the judgment or order appealed from. And the court below may, in its discretion, dispense with or limit the security required by said sections when an appellant is an executor, administrator, trustee, or other person acting in anothers right. |

executor, administrator, trustee, or other person acting in anothers right. Sec. 23. The undertaking prescribed in sections 16, 17, 19, 20, and 21 may be in one instrument or several, at the option of the appellant. Sec. 24. An undertaking on appeal shall be of no effect unless it be accompanied by the affidavit of the personal sureties that they are each worth the amount specified therein, over and above their just debts and liabilities, exclusive of the property exempt from execution; except where the judgment exceeds three thousand dollars and the undertaking on appeal is executed by more than two sureties, they may state on their affidavit that they are severally worth amounts less than that expressed in the undertaking, if the whole amount be equivalent to that of two qualified and sufficient sureties. The adverse party may, however, except to the sufficiency of the sureties within five days after the filing of the undertaking, and, unless they or other sureties justify before the judge of the court below, or clerk, within five days thereafter, upon notice to the adverse party, to the amounts stated in their affidavits, the appeal shall be regarded as if no such undertaking had been given; and in all cases where an undertaking is required on appeal by the provisions of this act, a deposit in the court below of the amount of the judgment appealed from, and such additional amount as may be specified by the judge of the court by which the judgment was rendered, shall be equivalent to filing the undertaking, and in all cases the undertaking or deposit may be waived by the written consent of the respondent, filed in said action or proceeding. In every case where, under the provisions of this act, an undertaking is required, such undertaking may be executed on the part of the appellant by at least two qualified and sufficient sureties, or by a bonding or surety company authorized and qualified to do business in the State of Nevada. Where such undertaking is executed by such bonding or surety company, no affidavit as to the sufficiency of such surety need accompany the undertaking. Sec. 25. In cases not provided for in sections 17, 19, 20, 21 or 24 of this act, the perfecting of an appeal by giving the undertaking, and the justification of the sureties thereon, if required, or making the deposit mentioned in section 16, shall stay proceedings in the court below upon the judgment or order appealed from, except that where it directs the sale of perishable property the court below may order the property to be sold, and the proceeds thereof to be deposited to abide the judgment of the appellate court. Sec. 26. The transcript on appeal may be either printed or typewritten, but in case the transcript is printed, the appellant shall not be entitled to recover as costs a greater amount than he would be entitled to if the transcript were typewritten. |

appellant shall not be entitled to recover as costs a greater amount than he would be entitled to if the transcript were typewritten. Sec. 27. No appeal shall be dismissed by the supreme court for any defect or informality in the appellate proceedings until the appellant has been given an opportunity, upon such terms as may be just and within a reasonable time to be fixed by the court, to amend or correct such defect, and shall within such time have failed to comply with any terms imposed and correct the defect. No appeal shall be dismissed for insufficiency of the undertaking thereon; provided, that a good and sufficient undertaking approved by the justices of the supreme court, or a majority thereof, be filed in the supreme court before the hearing upon motion to dismiss the appeal; provided, that the respondent shall not be delayed, but may move when the cause is regularly called for the disposition of the same, if such undertaking be not given. An appeal shall not be dismissed for any irregularity not affecting the jurisdiction of the court to hear and determine the appeal or affecting the substantial rights of the parties, and where any defect or irregularity can be cured by amendment, such amendment shall be allowed on proper application upon such terms as the supreme court shall deem just. Upon the filing or noticing of any motion to dismiss an appeal, the hearing of the case on the merits shall be stayed and appellants opening brief on the merits need not be filed in the appellate court until fifteen days after written notice of the determination of the motion, and such motion shall be heard summarily and determined with all reasonable expedition. Sec. 28. Upon an appeal from a judgment or order, the appellate court may reverse, affirm, or modify the judgment or order appealed from, in the respect mentioned, in the notice of appeal, and as to any or all of the parties; and may set aside, or affirm, or modify, any or all of the proceedings subsequent to or dependent upon such judgment or order, and may, if necessary or proper, order a new trial, or that further action or proceedings be had in the lower court without a new trial, and may remand the case for such further action or proceedings only. When the judgment or order is reversed or modified, the appellate court may make complete restitution of all property and rights lost by erroneous judgment or order, and when it appears to the appellate court that the appeal was made for delay, it may add to the costs such damages as may be just. Sec. 29. When judgment is rendered upon the appeal, it shall be certified by the clerk of the supreme court to the clerk with whom the judgment roll is filed or the order appealed from is entered. In cases of appeal from the judgment, the clerk with whom the roll is filed shall attach the certificate to the judgment roll and enter a minute of the judgment of the supreme court on the docket against the original entry. |

judgment, the clerk with whom the roll is filed shall attach the certificate to the judgment roll and enter a minute of the judgment of the supreme court on the docket against the original entry. In cases of appeal from an order, the clerk shall enter at length, in the records of the court, the certificate received, and minute against the entry of the order appealed from a reference to the certificate, with a brief statement that the order has been affirmed, reversed, or modified, as the case may be, by the supreme court on appeal. Sec. 30. Whenever costs are awarded to a party by an appellate court, such party may have an execution for the same on filing a remittitur with the clerk of the court below, and it shall be the duty of such clerk, whenever the remittitur is filed, to issue the execution upon application therefor, and whenever costs are awarded to a party by an order of any court, such party may have an execution therefor in like manner as upon a judgment.
Re Bills of Exceptions Sec. 31. At any time after the filing of the complaint and not later than twenty (20) days after final judgment, or if a motion be made for a new trial, when within twenty (20) days after service of written notice of the decision upon such motion, except as in subdivision (2) of this section otherwise provided, any party to an action or proceeding may serve and file a bill of exceptions to such judgment or any ruling, decision, order, or action of the court, which bill of exceptions shall be settled and allowed by the judge or court, or by stipulation of the parties, by attaching thereto or inserting therein a certificate or stipulation to the effect that such bill of exceptions is correct, contains the substance of the proceedings relating to the point or points involved and has been settled and allowed, and when such bill of exceptions has been so settled and allowed it shall become a part of the record in such action or proceeding. Bills of exceptions shall be made up and prepared as follows, and not otherwise: (1) A transcript of the proceedings, certified by the court reporter, appointed by the court, under authority of law, or by agreement of the parties, to be a full, true and correct transcript thereof, may be served and filed, and when so filed shall be and constitute the bill of exceptions of the proceedings relating to the point or points involved, as therein set forth, without further stipulation or settlement by the court, provided, however, that on motion duly noticed, the court may at any time correct any error in such transcript by appropriate amendment thereto. The transcript of the proceedings, certified by the court reporter, as herein provided, together with all other matters, exhibits, motions, papers or orders, required to be incorporated in a bill of exceptions, when so incorporated in the bill of exceptions, as herein provided, and when such bill of exceptions has been so settled and allowed, as herein provided, it shall become a part of the record in such action or proceeding. |

exceptions, when so incorporated in the bill of exceptions, as herein provided, and when such bill of exceptions has been so settled and allowed, as herein provided, it shall become a part of the record in such action or proceeding. (2) When the transcript of the proceedings, as provided in subdivision (1) of this section, is not served and filed as the bill of exceptions of the proceedings relating to the point or points involved upon such proceedings, then the bill of exceptions shall be based and be prepared upon a record of the proceedings made up as follows: (a) The point of the exception shall be particularly stated, and may be delivered in writing to the judge, or, if the party require it, shall be written down by the clerk. When delivered in writing or written down by the clerk, it shall be made conformable to the truth, or be at the time, or at or before the conclusion of the trial, corrected until it is so made conformable to the truth. If the judge shall in any case refuse to allow an exception in accordance with the facts, any party aggrieved thereby may petition the supreme court for leave to prove the same, and shall have the right so to do, in such mode and manner and according to such regulations as the supreme court may by rules impose, and such exceptions as are allowed by said supreme court shall become a part of the record of the cause. (b) During the progress of an action or proceeding or cause a party may take his bill of exceptions to the admission or exclusion of testimony, or to the rulings of the court or judge on points of law, and it shall not be necessary to embody in such bill of exceptions anything more than sufficient facts to show the point and pertinency of the exceptions taken. The presiding judge shall sign the same, within the time herein limited, as the truth of the case may be. (c) A statement of the case may be incorporated in, and made a part of such bill of exceptions; such statement shall state specifically particular errors or grounds upon which the party intends to rely on upon the appeal, and shall contain so much of the evidence as may be necessary to explain the particular errors or grounds specified, and no more, and shall be served, by copy thereof, upon the adverse party, and the original filed with the clerk. (d) When the bill of exceptions of the proceedings, as provided for in subdivision (2) of this section, is used instead of the bill of exceptions, as provided for in subdivision (1) of this section, and such bill of exceptions has been settled and allowed by the judge or court, or by stipulation of the parties, as herein provided, the same, together with other matters, exhibits, motions, papers or orders required to be incorporated in a bill of exceptions, when so incorporated in the bill of exceptions, as herein provided, and when such bill of exceptions has been so settled and allowed, it shall become a part of the record in such action or proceeding; provided, however, that no party to any action or proceeding shall have the benefit or the right to present or use the form of bills of exceptions, as authorized in subdivision (2) of this section, unless such party, in open court and before the taking of any testimony, stated such intention and caused such statement of intention to be entered of record in such action or proceeding by the clerk of the court. |

Sec. 32. Any adverse party may object to the allowance and settlement of any bill of exceptions herein provided for within five (5) days after the service of the same, by serving upon the opposite party and filing in said court a statement specifically pointing out wherein said bill does not state the true facts, or wherein the same omits any material fact necessary to explain or make clear any ruling, decision, or action of the court. Such objection shall be heard and determined by the court within five (5) days thereafter, and upon such hearing the court shall designate in what respect said bill is incorrect or untrue, or fails or omits to state the true facts, and shall order and direct that such bill be corrected in accordance with said determination, and engrossed so as to contain the true facts as herein required, and when so engrossed said bill must be allowed and settled as in this act provided, and when so settled shall become and be a part of the record of said action or proceeding. If the objections of the adverse party are disallowed, then such bill as originally filed must be immediately settled and allowed as by this act required. Sec. 33. All bills of exceptions required by the provisions hereof shall be typewritten, paged, and the lines of each page numbered; and where more than one bill of exceptions is filed in the same action or proceeding each bill shall be consecutively numbered.

Bills of exceptions provided for by this act must be prepared, served, and filed, as herein provided, and not otherwise, and all errors relied upon which may have occurred during the proceedings or at the trial, or which may be alleged against the findings, or exceptions to the findings as made, and all errors based upon any ground for a new trial, may be included therein, and all such errors may be reviewed by the supreme court on appeal from the judgment or order denying or granting the motion for a new trial. Sec. 35. When the action, decision, ruling, or order excepted to was made by a referee or any judicial officer other than a judge, the bill of exceptions shall be served, filed, and presented to said referee or judicial officer, and be settled, allowed, and certified by him in the same manner and within the same time as other bills of exceptions are required to be presented to, settled, allowed and certified by the judge or court. |

filed, and presented to said referee or judicial officer, and be settled, allowed, and certified by him in the same manner and within the same time as other bills of exceptions are required to be presented to, settled, allowed and certified by the judge or court. A judge, referee, or judicial officer may settle, allow, and certify to a bill of exceptions after he ceases to be such judge, referee, or judicial officer, and if such judge, referee, or judicial officer, before the bill of exceptions is settled, dies, is removed from office, becomes disqualified, is absent from the state, or refuses to settle and allow any bill, or if no method is provided by law for the settlement of the same, it shall be settled and certified in such a manner as the supreme court may by its order or rules direct. Sec. 36. If a party shall omit or fail to serve and file his bill of exceptions within the time limited he shall be deemed to have waived his right thereto, and if a party shall omit to make objections as required to such bill of exceptions within the time limited he shall be deemed to have waived his right thereto. Sec. 37. The several periods of time specified in this act in reference to bills of exceptions only may be enlarged upon good cause shown by the court, any justice of the supreme court, judge, referee, or judicial official, or by stipulation of the parties. Sec. 38. The original bills of exceptions herein provided for, together with a notice of appeal and the undertaking on appeal, shall be annexed to a copy of the judgment roll, certified by the clerk or by the parties, if the appeal be from the judgment; if the appeal be from an order, such original bill shall be annexed to such order, certified by the clerk or by the parties, and the same shall be and become the record on appeal when filed in the supreme court. A party may appeal upon the judgment roll alone, in which case only such errors can be considered as appear upon the face of the judgment roll. Sec. 39. The provisions of the last preceding section shall not apply to appeals taken from an order made upon affidavits, but copy of such affidavits and counter affidavits, if any, shall be annexed to the order in place of the bill of exceptions mentioned in the last section, and certified by the clerk or by the parties. Sec. 40. Where it is not practicable to embody an exhibit in the bill of exceptions or record on appeal, then if such exhibit be in the nature of a map or drawing, a copy thereof, certified to by the clerk or by the parties, may be sent to the supreme court, together with the record as hereinabove specified, and in case the exhibit be of such a character that a copy or duplicate of the same cannot conveniently or accurately be made, then the original exhibit, duly certified to by the clerk, may be sent to the supreme court, together with the record hereinabove specified, and such copy of such exhibit, and such original exhibit, so certified by the clerk of the court or by the parties, shall become a part of the record on appeal in the supreme court; but in no other case shall original papers, records, or documents be sent to the supreme court, except upon the order of the supreme court. |

Sec. 41. When any party desires to appeal from any appealable order, other than from a final judgment or from an order granting or denying a motion for a new trial, such party may take a bill of exceptions within ten days after service of written notice of the decision or order to be appealed from. Said bill of exceptions shall be prepared, served, filed, settled, and allowed as provided in section 31 of this act. Sec. 42. Whenever the judgment roll, or the papers making up the judgment roll, shall be incorporated in a bill of exceptions, it shall not be necessary to take to the supreme court any separate copy of the judgment roll, but in all such cases the judgment roll, or the papers making up the judgment roll, shall be certified by the clerk of the court in which the action or proceeding is pending, or by the parties or their attorneys. Sec. 43. The appellant shall, in his opening brief, state his points and such errors as he shall rely on with such references to page or pages of the record on appeal as shall be necessary to call to the attention of the court the errors on which he relies; provided, however, that the court may at any time, if the reference in the brief be insufficient, upon such terms as may be just, direct the filing within a time to be allowed by the court of a more definite specification of errors, and the court shall not be bound to consider any error not specified with reasonable certainty. Sec. 44. The supreme court shall not decide any case on any point not raised in the opening brief or briefs in answer thereto without first giving all parties affected an opportunity to be heard upon such point. Sec. 45. If at any time before final judgment of the supreme court it shall be made to appear to the court that the record on appeal does not accurately or fully state the proceedings under consideration before the court, the court may take such steps and issue such orders, including orders to the lower court or the clerk thereof, for the certification to the supreme court of additional records or proceedings as shall be necessary or proper to correct or complete the record on appeal. Sec. 46. If any part of the record on appeal shall contain a copy, duly certified or stipulated, of any bill of exceptions taken under the provisions of this act, such copy of such bill of exceptions may be considered in lieu of the original, and it shall not be necessary to furnish the supreme court the original of such bill of exceptions. |

SecondTo make and pass all ordinances, resolutions, and orders not repugnant to the constitution of the United States or the State of Nevada, or to the provisions of this charter, necessary for the municipal government and the management of city affairs, and for the execution of all the powers vested in said city, and for making effective the provisions of this charter. ThirdTo levy and collect, annually, a tax of not to exceed one and one-half percent upon the assessed value of all real and personal property within the limits of the city, and which is by law taxable for state and county purposes. FourthTo sell, lease, control, improve, and take care of the real estate and personal property of the city; provided, said council shall not have power to mortgage, hypothecate, or pledge any property of the city for any purpose. Sec. 2. Section 19a as it appears in said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 19a. The city council, among other things, shall have the power: To lay out, extend, change the grade, open, vacate, and alter the streets and alleys within the city, and by ordinance require and provide for the macadamizing, oiling, curbing, graveling, grading and regrading, paving, draining, cleaning, repairing, lighting, surfacing and resurfacing, and widening any highway, street or alley, or otherwise improving same; also, to provide by ordinance for the improvement and preservation of the city parks, and the construction, repair, and preservation of sidewalks, crossings, bridges, drains, curbs, gutters, and sewers; for the prevention and removal of obstructions from the streets and sidewalks of the city; and to regulate and prohibit the placing of signs, awnings, posts, show windows, and other things upon and over the sidewalk, and regulate and prohibit the construction and use of openings in the streets and sidewalks, and all vaults, structures and excavations in and under the same, and to prevent, prohibit, and remove all obstructions and nuisances upon the sidewalks, streets, and alleys within the city limits; and for that purpose and for the purpose of defraying the expense thereof may divide the city into districts. |

the city limits; and for that purpose and for the purpose of defraying the expense thereof may divide the city into districts. Such part of the expenses of improving any street, lanes, avenues, or alleys by grading, paving, graveling, curbing, constructing sidewalks, or otherwise improving the same, as the city council shall determine, may be paid from the general fund, street fund, or district street fund, from the proper street district, or the said cost, or a portion thereof, as the city council shall determine, may be defrayed by special assessments upon lots and premises fronting upon that part of the street or alley so improved or proposed so to be, or the lands fronting upon such improvement and such other land as in the opinion of the city council may be benefited by the improvement. When the city council shall determine to make any public improvements, such as laying pavements, constructing sewers, drains, or sidewalks and curbing, macadamizing, oiling, graveling, or grading any street or alley, or in any way improving the same, and defray the whole or any part of the costs or expenses thereof by special assessment, they shall so declare by ordinance, stating the improvements and what part or portion of the expenses thereof shall be paid out of the general fund, street fund, district street fund, or any other fund. When expenses for such improvements or repairs shall be assessed, and there shall be lands belonging to the city, school buildings, or other public buildings or public grounds not taxable, fronting on such improvement, such part of the expense of such improvement as in the opinion of the city council or assessor making such special assessment would be justly apportionable to such public grounds, buildings, and city property, and to any interior, squares or spaces formed by the intersection of streets where they are taxable, shall be paid from the general fund, or from the proper street or district street fund, or part from each, as the city council shall determine to be just, and the balance of such expense shall be assessed upon the taxable lots and premises fronting upon such improvement or improved streets, in proportion to their number of feet frontage; or if the special assessment shall include other lands not fronting upon the improvement, then upon all land included in such special assessment in proportion to the estimated benefits resulting thereto from the improvement. When such assessment is to be made upon lots in proportion to their frontage upon the improvement, if from the shape and size of any lot the assessment thereon in proportion to its frontage would be unjust and disproportionate to the assessment upon other lots, the city council, or assessor making the assessments, may assess such lots or such number of feet frontage as in their opinion would be just. The cost and expense of the following improvement, including the necessary land therefor, viz, for city hall and other public buildings for the use of the city officers, enginehouses and structures for the fire department, waterworks, city prison, levees and embankments, shall be paid from the proper general fund of the city, except that, in case of lands appropriated for streets and rights of way, the cost thereof may be paid in whole or in part from the avails of special assessment to be levied therefor in the manner herein prescribed. |

and expense of the following improvement, including the necessary land therefor, viz, for city hall and other public buildings for the use of the city officers, enginehouses and structures for the fire department, waterworks, city prison, levees and embankments, shall be paid from the proper general fund of the city, except that, in case of lands appropriated for streets and rights of way, the cost thereof may be paid in whole or in part from the avails of special assessment to be levied therefor in the manner herein prescribed. Whenever, in the opinion of the city council, the benefits thereof are special rather than general or public, when by the provisions of this act the cost and expense of any local improvements may be defrayed in whole or in part by special assessment upon the lands fronting and adjacent to or otherwise benefited by such improvement, such assessment may be made in the manner hereinafter specified. When the city council shall determine to make any public improvement or repairs in the laying of pavements, or constructing sidewalks, or in any way improving the streets in the city, and defray the whole or any part of the cost and expense thereof by special assessments, they shall so declare by ordinance, stating the improvement and what part or portion of the expense thereof shall be paid by special assessment, and what part, if any, has been appropriated from the general fund of the city, from the streets funds, or district street funds, and whether the assessment is to be made according to benefits or frontage, and in case the assessment is to be made according to benefits they shall by apt description designate the district, if a special district is set apart therein, including the lands to be so assessed; or in case there is no district so set apart they shall describe definitely the location of the improvement, and state that the assessment is to be made upon all the lands benefited thereby according to benefit; but in case the assessment is to be made upon the property according to the frontage, it shall be sufficient in said ordinances to so state, with a definite location of the improvements to be made. It shall not be necessary in any case to describe minutely in the ordinance each particular lot to be assessed, but simply to so designate the property, district, or the location so that the various parts to be assessed can be ascertained and described by the city assessor. Before ordering any public improvement or repairs as provided in the last preceding section, any part of the expense of which is to be defrayed by special assessment, the city council shall cause estimates of the expense thereof to be made by the city engineer, and also plats and diagrams, when practicable, of the work and of the locality to be improved, and deposit the same with the city clerk for public examination, and they shall give notice thereof and of the proposed improvement or work and of the location of the improvement and of the district to be assessed, by publication for one week at least in one of the newspapers of the city, by posting printed notices of the same in at least three of the most public places in each ward, and also a notice in or near each post office of said city, and three notices near the site of the proposed work in some public and conspicuous place, and of the time when the city council will meet and consider any suggestions and objections that may be made by parties interested with respect to the proposed improvements. |

thereof and of the proposed improvement or work and of the location of the improvement and of the district to be assessed, by publication for one week at least in one of the newspapers of the city, by posting printed notices of the same in at least three of the most public places in each ward, and also a notice in or near each post office of said city, and three notices near the site of the proposed work in some public and conspicuous place, and of the time when the city council will meet and consider any suggestions and objections that may be made by parties interested with respect to the proposed improvements. Unless a majority of the persons to be assessed shall petition therefor, no such improvement or work shall be ordered except by the concurrence of three-fifths of all members elected to the city council. In all cases where the board of health or other officials of the city or the city council are authorized to do, or cause to be done, certain things, the whole or any part of which may be charged as a special assessment upon the property, and where special provisions for making the levy are not herein made, the city council may cause sworn statements of the cost thereof, and of the location thereof, to be made as provided in the last paragraph, and may, at their option, refer the same to the city assessor and have the same assessed against such property. The costs and expenses of any improvement which may be defrayed by special assessments shall include the cost of surveys, plans, assessments, and cost of construction. In no case shall the whole amount be levied by special assessment upon any lots or premises where any one improvement exceeds fifty percent of the value of such lands and improvements, as last before valued and assessed for state and county taxation in the county tax roll. Any cost exceeding that percent which would otherwise be chargeable upon said lots or premises shall be paid from the general funds of the city. The city council shall prescribe the fees and compensation that may be charged in the work of making any special assessment as part of the assessment. No contract for doing the work or making the improvement contemplated herein shall be made or awarded nor shall the city council incur any expense or liability in relation thereto until after the notice and hearing provided for herein shall have been given or had. But nothing herein contained shall be construed as preventing the city council from advertising for proposals for doing the work whenever they see fit; provided, the contract shall not be made or awarded before the time herein stated. When any special assessment is to be made pro rata upon the lots or premises in any special assessment district, according to frontage or benefits, the city council shall, by ordinance, direct the same to be made by the city assessor, and shall state therein the amount to be assessed, and whether according to the frontage or benefits, and describe or designate the lots and premises, or the locality constituting the district to be assessed; in fixing the amount or sum of money that may be required to pay the costs of any improvement, the city council need not necessarily be governed by the estimates of such improvement provided for herein, but the city council may decide upon such other sum, within the limitations described, as they may deem necessary to cover the cost of such improvement. |

shall state therein the amount to be assessed, and whether according to the frontage or benefits, and describe or designate the lots and premises, or the locality constituting the district to be assessed; in fixing the amount or sum of money that may be required to pay the costs of any improvement, the city council need not necessarily be governed by the estimates of such improvement provided for herein, but the city council may decide upon such other sum, within the limitations described, as they may deem necessary to cover the cost of such improvement. Upon receiving such order and directions the city assessor shall make out an assessment roll, entering and describing all lots, premises and portions of land to be assessed, with the names of persons, if known, chargeable with the assessment thereon, and shall levy thereon and against such persons the amount to be assessed in the manner directed by the city council and the provisions of this act applicable to the assessment; provided, in all cases where the ownership is unknown to the assessor he shall, in lieu of the name of the owner, insert the name Unknown; provided, also, if by mistake or otherwise any person shall be improperly designated as the owner of any lot or premises, or if the same shall be assessed without the name of the owner, or the name of the person other than the owner, such assessment shall not, for any cause, be vitiated, but shall in all respects be as valid upon and against such lot, parcel of land, or premises as though assessed in the name of the proper owner, and when the assessment roll shall have been confirmed and recorded, shall be a lien on such lot, parcel of land, improvements or premises, and collected as in other cases. If the assessment is required to be according to the frontage, the city assessor shall assess each lot or parcel of land and improvements, or such relative portion of the whole amount to be levied as the length of front of such premises fronting upon the improvement bears to the whole frontage of all the lots to be assessed; unless on account of the shape and size of any lot or lots an assessment for a different number of feet would be more equitable; and the frontage of all lots to be assessed shall be deemed to be the aggregate number of feet as determined upon for the assessment by the city assessor. If the assessment is directed to be according to benefits, the city assessor shall assess upon each lot such relative portion of the whole sum to be levied as shall be proportionate to the estimated benefit resulting to such lot from the improvement. When the assessor shall have completed the assessment he shall report the same to the city council. Such reports shall be signed by him and made in the form of a certificate, and endorsed on the assessment roll as follows: State of Nevada, City of Sparks, ss. To the city council of the city of Sparks: I hereby certify and report that the foregoing is the assessment roll and the assessment made by me pursuant to an ordinance of the city council of the said city, adopted (give date), for the purpose of paying that part of the cost which the city council decided should be paid and borne by special assessment for the purpose of paying the cost of (e. |

of the city of Sparks: I hereby certify and report that the foregoing is the assessment roll and the assessment made by me pursuant to an ordinance of the city council of the said city, adopted (give date), for the purpose of paying that part of the cost which the city council decided should be paid and borne by special assessment for the purpose of paying the cost of (e. g., for paving B street from First street to Fifteenth street in said city, as the case may be), (or constructing a sewer on C street), (or as the case may be). That in making such assessment, I have, as near as may be, and according to my best judgment, conformed in all things to the directions contained in the ordinance of the city council hereinbefore referred to, as well as to the charter of the city relating to such assessment. Dated, Sparks, Nevada, ..................................... , A. D. 19 ............................................... City Assessor.
When any expense shall be incurred by the city upon or in respect to any separate or single lot, parcel of land, or premises which, by the provisions of this act, the city council is authorized to charge and collect a special assessment against the same, and not being of that class of special assessment required to be made pro rata upon several lots or parcels of land, an account of the labor or services for which such expense was incurred, verified by the officer or person performing the services or causing the same to be done, with the description of the lot or premises upon or in respect to which the expense was incurred, or the name of the owner or person, if known, chargeable therewith, shall be reported to the city council in such manner as the city council shall prescribe. And the provisions of the previous subdivisions, with reference to special assessments generally and the proceedings necessary to be had before making the improvement, shall not apply to the assessments to cover the expense incurred, in respect to that class of improvements contemplated in this subdivision. The city council shall determine what amount or part of every expense shall be charged and the person, if known, against whom and the premises upon which the same shall be levied as a special assessment; and so often as the city council shall deem it expedient they shall require all of the several amounts so reported and determined, and the several lots or premises and the persons chargeable therewith, respectively, to be reported by the city clerk to the city assessor for assessment. Upon receiving the report mentioned in the preceding subdivision the city assessor shall make a special assessment roll and levy a special assessment therein upon each lot or parcel of land so reported to him against the person chargeable therewith, if known, the whole amount or amounts of all the charges so directed as aforesaid to be levied upon each of such lots or premises, respectively, and when completed he shall report the assessment roll to the city council. |

When any special assessment shall be reported by the city assessor to the city council as in this section and subdivision directed, the same shall be filed in the office of the city clerk and numbered. Before adopting the assessment the city council shall cause notice to be published for one week, at least, in some newspaper of the city, of filing of the same with the city clerk, and appointing a time when the city council and the assessor will meet to review the assessments. Any person objecting to the assessment may file his objections thereto in writing with the city clerk. The notice provided in this subdivision may be addressed to the persons whose names appear upon the assessment roll and to all others interested therein, and may be in the following form: To (insert the name of the person against whom the assessment appears) and to all persons interested, take notice: That the roll of the special assessment heretofore made by the city assessor for the purpose of defraying that part of the costs which the city council decided should be paid and borne by special assessment from the (e. g., paving B street to Fifteenth street in said city), (or constructing a sewer on C street between First street and Fifteenth street), (or as the case may be), is now on file at my office for public inspection. Notice is hereby given that the city council and city assessor of the city of Sparks will meet in the council room in said city on (insert the date fixed upon), to review said assessment at which time and place opportunity will be given all persons interested to be heard; provided, any person objecting to the assessment may file his objections thereto, in writing, with the city clerk at any time before the time set for said hearing.

At the time appointed for the purpose aforesaid the city council and city assessor shall meet and there, or at some adjourned meeting, review the assessment; and shall hear any objection to said assessment which may be made by any person deeming himself aggrieved thereby, and shall decide the same; and the city council may correct the same as to any assessment or description of the premises appearing therein, and may confirm it as reported or as corrected, or they may refer the assessment back to the city assessor for revision; or annul it and direct a new assessment; in which case the same proceedings shall be had as in respect to the previous assessment. When a special assessment shall be confirmed the city clerk shall make an endorsement upon the roll showing the date of confirmation, which shall be in the following words: Special assessment roll for (describing fully what the assessment is for), as approved by the city council the . |

Section 19b as it appears in said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 19b. The city council, among other things, shall have the power: When any special assessment roll shall be confirmed by the city council it shall be final and conclusive, except as hereinafter provided; but no such assessment shall be confirmed except by a three-fifths vote of all the members elected to the city council. The city clerk and clerk of the city council shall thereupon deliver to the county auditor, acting as ex officio city auditor, the assessment roll as confirmed by the city council, with his certificate of such confirmation, and of the date thereof. The county auditor acting as ex officio city auditor, shall thereupon, without extra compensation, record such assessment roll in his office, in a suitable book to be kept for that purpose, and append thereto his certificate of the date of such recording, whereupon from said date all persons shall be deemed to have notice of the contents of such assessment roll. Said roll, when so endorsed and recorded, shall be prima-facie evidence in all courts and tribunals of the regularity of all proceedings preliminary to the making thereof and of the validity of said assessment and assessment roll. All special assessments shall, from the date of recording thereof, constitute a lien upon the respective lots or parcels of land and improvements assessed, and shall be charged against the persons and properties until paid. Upon the confirmation and recording of any assessment, the amount thereof may be divided into not more than ten installments, one of which installments shall be collected yearly, or the entire amount thereof may be collected at once, in a manner hereinafter prescribed, with annual interest thereon at a rate not exceeding seven percent. All special assessments, except such installments thereof as the city council shall make payable at a future time, shall be due and payable upon recording, and suit may be commenced for the collection thereof in the name of the city of Sparks in the same manner as any other action for money owed the city of Sparks; provided, the court shall order the property, or sufficient thereof to cover the amount of judgment and costs, sold, and the proceedings in said action, where the same are not inconsistent, shall be the same as is provided in the civil practice act of the State of Nevada, and whenever the words justice court, justice of the peace, and constable are used in said civil practice act the same shall be held to mean police court, police judge, and chief of police, respectively, for the purposes of said action. |

held to mean police court, police judge, and chief of police, respectively, for the purposes of said action. Should any lots or lands be divided after a special assessment thereon shall have been confirmed and divided into installments and before the collection of the installments, the city council may require the city assessor to apportion the uncollected amounts upon the several parts of land so divided. The report of such apportionment when confirmed shall be conclusive on all the parties, and all assessments thereafter made upon such lots or land shall be according to such subdivisions. Should any special assessment prove insufficient to pay for the improvements or work for which it is levied, and the expense incident thereto, the amount of such deficiency shall be paid from the general fund in the treasury of the city; and in case a greater amount shall have been collected than was necessary the excess shall be refunded ratably to those by whom it was paid. Whenever any special assessment shall, in the opinion of the city council, be invalid by reason of any irregularity or informality in the proceedings, or if any court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge such assessments to be illegal, the city council shall, whether the improvement has been made or not, or whether any part of the assessments have been paid or not, have the power to cause a new assessment to be made for the same purpose for which the former assessment was made. All the proceedings for such reassessment and for the collection thereof shall be conducted in the same manner as provided for special assessments in this act. Whenever any sum or any part thereof levied upon any premises in the assessment so set aside has been paid and not refunded, the payment so made shall be applied upon the reassessment on said premises, and the assessment to that extent be deemed satisfied. No judgment or decree nor any act of the city council vacating a special assessment shall destroy or impair the lien of the city upon the premises assessed for such amount of the assessment as may be equitably charged against the same or as by regular mode of proceedings might have been lawfully assessed thereon. When any special assessment shall be confirmed, recorded, and be payable, and the city council desires to have the same paid in annual installments, or the entire amount thereof to be paid at once, as hereinbefore provided, the city council may, by resolution, direct the city clerk to report to the city assessor a description of such lots and premises as are contained in said roll, with the amount of the assessment levied upon each, or the amount of the annual installment with the interest added, or the entire amount thereof to be paid at once, and the name of the owner or occupant against whom the assessment was made, and to require the city assessor to levy the several sums so assessed as a tax upon the several lots of land and improvements, or premises to which they were assessed, respectively, and the city council shall annually and at the same time the city tax levy is made, continue to so require the city assessor to levy the said installments of special assessments until the whole sum assessed with interest thereon has been paid. |

Upon receiving such report, the city assessor shall levy the sums therein mentioned upon the respective lots and premises to which they were assessed and against the persons chargeable therewith as a tax in the general assessment roll next thereafter to be made, in a column for special assessments, and the county auditor acting as ex officio city auditor, shall extend the same on said roll in the same manner as state and county taxes or assessments are extended, and thereupon the amount so levied in said assessment roll shall be collected and enforced with the other taxes in the assessment roll by the county tax receiver, acting as ex officio city tax receiver, and in the same manner, and shall continue to be a lien upon the premises assessed until paid, and when collected shall be credited to the proper funds; provided, that nothing in this paragraph set forth shall be construed as preventing the city of Sparks from collecting any special assessment by suit in the name of the city of Sparks in the manner in this section before contained, and the said special assessment roll and the certified resolution confirming it, as recorded, shall be prima-facie evidence of the regularity of the proceedings in making the assessment and of the right of the city to recover judgment therefor. If in any action for the collection of any assessment it shall appear by reason of any irregularity or informality that the assessment has not been properly made against the defendant, or the lot or the premises sought to be charged, the court may, nevertheless, on satisfactory proof that the expense has been incurred by the city which is a proper charge against the defendant, or the lot or premises in question, render judgment for the amount properly chargeable against such defendant or upon such lot or premises. The city council of the city of Sparks is hereby authorized and empowered to correct or amend the said special assessment roll by resolution, at any time after confirmation and recording of the same, so as to make it conform to the actual cost of the work for which the same was levied, and all changes in said roll shall be made by resolution, by a three-fifths vote of all the members elected to the city council, and the said resolution, or a copy thereof, certified by the clerk of the city council as being a true copy, shall be posted in the said special assessment roll and shall constitute conclusive authority for the change so made. |

Sec. 14. County Financial Participation and Tax Levy. Each of the counties of this state shall provide necessary and ample funds with which to pay old-age assistance to the needy aged persons thereof, as provided for in this act, and to pay the expenses of county administration thereof by that county; and for that purpose, it is hereby made the mandatory duty of the board of county commissioners of each and every county of this state and of all the other officers in this state having anything to do with the assessment of property for purposes of taxation, and with the collection of taxes, to levy, assess and collect an ad valorem tax, for the tax year beginning January 1, 1937, and for each such year thereafter, on all taxable property in their respective counties at a sufficient tax rate to provide ample money with which to pay all old-age assistance and expenses required to be paid by each such county in complete compliance with the provisions of this act. The proceeds of such tax so collected in each county of this state shall be placed in a fund in the county treasury thereof and shall be designated the Old-Age Assistance Fund out of which such county treasurer shall, for convenience and economy in administration and in auditing accounts, transmit to the state treasurer monthly, or quarterly, at the time required by the rules and regulations of the state board, the full amount necessary to pay one-fourth of the total amount of old-age assistance to be paid in that county pursuant to section 3 of this act as certified to him by the county clerk of that county. The state treasurer shall place the same in a fund in the state treasury to be designated Old-Age Assistance Fund of County, naming the particular county from which the particular money was so sent to him, and shall keep the money so sent him from each county in a separate account and fund for and as funds of that particular county, to be used for the purposes of this act in that county alone. It shall be the duty of said state treasurer as such officer to receive and so deposit said moneys, and to safely and faithfully keep, handle, and disburse such moneys for the said purposes alone in the manner hereinafter and in section 17 of this act provided for, and to render a true account of all such moneys; and he and the surety on his official bond to the State of Nevada, as such state treasurer, shall be responsible for all such moneys to the same extent as is provided for in his official bond for other public moneys in his custody. |

of all such moneys; and he and the surety on his official bond to the State of Nevada, as such state treasurer, shall be responsible for all such moneys to the same extent as is provided for in his official bond for other public moneys in his custody. Sec. 15. State Financial Participation and Tax Levy. The funds to pay for the states participation in old-age assistance under this act shall be raised by the levy and collection of an ad valorem tax upon all the taxable property in this state, including the net proceeds of mines, sufficient to produce enough money to pay the states one-fourth (1/4) of the total amount of old-age assistance, as provided for in this act, and shall be included in the state tax levy for the fiscal years 1937 and 1938, and in the state tax levy for each fiscal year thereafter unless and until otherwise provided by law; and, inasmuch as the first installment of taxes to be paid under said state tax levy will not be due and payable until in the month of December 1937, the funds to pay the states proportion of such participation in old-age assistance under this act up to that time and to supplement said state tax levy, if needed, shall be raised by state bond issue as authorized and provided for in another and separate act of this legislature. The state taxes so levied shall be collected and transmitted to and deposited in the state treasury in the same manner as now provided by law for the collection, transmission and deposit of other state taxes. The state treasurer shall, immediately upon receipt of any moneys so received by such taxation and bond issue, or either of them, place the same in a fund in the state treasury to be known and designated as State Old-Age Assistance Fund, out of which the states portion of the old-age assistance provided for in this act shall be paid upon warrants drawn by the state controller and paid by the state treasurer as hereinafter provided. Sec. 16. Federal Funds. All moneys furnished by the federal government pursuant to said social security act shall be deposited in the state treasury of this state in a fund which shall be designated Old-Age Assistance Fund, and used only for the purposes provided for in said social security act and in pursuance of the provisions of this act. It shall be the duty of the state treasurer of this state, as such officer, to receive and so deposit said moneys, and to safely and faithfully keep and handle such moneys for the said purposes and to render a true account of all such moneys; and he and the surety on his official bond to the State of Nevada as such state treasurer shall be responsible for all such moneys to the same extent as is provided for in his said bond for other public moneys in his custody. Insofar as the portion of the moneys so deposited to apply on the payment of old-age assistance in this state is concerned, it shall be used to pay directly to each recipient entitled thereto as determined by the county board of the county in which such recipient resides, and certified to said state controller and state treasurer by the secretary of said state board in the manner provided for in this act, for use in paying one-half of the amount of old-age assistance to which applicants and recipients in the particular county are entitled, as provided for in this act and in said social security act, in the same manner as other state moneys are disbursed. |

The state controller of this state shall promptly, upon receiving such certified list, draw his warrant upon said fund payable to each such recipient in the amount to which he or she is entitled, upon and pursuant to such certified list, and said state treasurer shall pay the same. Every such warrant shall be for the total amount of federal, state and county funds to which each such recipient is entitled under the provisions of this act. |

Insofar as that portion of said moneys so deposited to pay on the expenses of the administration of this act and of said social security act, and in the distribution of such old-age assistance, is concerned, it shall be disbursed in the same manner as provided for hereinbefore in this section, except that the claims therefor shall be made and filed directly by the claimants entitled thereto and paid directly to them, upon the written approval of such claims by said secretary of said state board, and the audit and allowance thereof as required by the laws of this state. All officers mentioned hereinbefore in this section and concerned with the handling of such federal funds are hereby fully authorized to do and perform all acts and things necessary to accomplish the purposes of this section. The books, records and accounts of said state controller and state treasurer relating to said old-age assistance fund in said state treasury shall be open to inspection and subject to audit by the United States government or said auditor of public accounts of the United States, or any other duly authorized auditor, accountant or agent of either thereof. Sec. 19. Fraudulent Acts. Whoever knowingly obtains, or attempts to obtain, or aids, or abets any person to obtain by means of a willfully false statement or representation or by impersonation, or other fraudulent device, assistance to which he is not entitled, assistance greater than that to which he is justly entitled; or whoever aids or abets in buying or in any way disposing of the property, either personal or real, of a recipient of assistance without the consent of the county board, and with the intent to defeat the purposes of this act, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than five hundred ($500) dollars or be imprisoned for not more than three (3) months, or be both so fined and imprisoned in the discretion of the court.
