3. The cost of the improvement of an alley intersection may be assessed upon the assessable property in the same block extending to the nearest street intersection and half the length of the block along its sides. However, where the sides of blocks are of unequal length, the city council may determine the limit of assessment.
4. In the alternative, the cost of improving street intersections (including alley intersections) may be treated as one of the costs of any project without separately segregating such intersection cost. In such case the total cost of any project shall be assessed as provided in subsections 1, 2 and 3 of [this section 78] section 70 upon the basis determined without any separate assessment for intersection costs.
Sec. 2. This act shall become effective upon passage and approval.

Where there is a previous disability, as the loss of one eye, one hand, one foot, or any other previous permanent disability, the percentage of disability for a subsequent injury shall be determined by computing the percentage of the entire disability and deducting therefrom the percentage of the previous disability as it existed at the time of the subsequent injury.

(b) If the deceased employee leaves dependents only partially dependent upon his earnings for support at the time of the injury causing his death, the monthly compensation to be paid shall be equal to the same proportion of the monthly payments for the benefit of persons totally dependent as the amount contributed by the deceased employee to such partial dependents bears to the average monthly wage of the deceased employee at the time of the injury resulting in his death.
(c) The duration of compensation to partial dependents shall be fixed by the commission in accordance with the facts shown, but in no case shall exceed compensation for 100 months.
8. Apportionment of death benefit between dependents.

be deposited in any banking institution within or without this state and secured in such manner and subject to such terms and conditions as the board may determine, with or without the payment of any interest on such deposit, including without limitation time deposits evidenced by certificates of deposit. Any federal securities and any such certificates of deposit thus held may, from time to time, be sold and the proceeds may be so reinvested or redeposited as provided in this section 12. Sales and redemptions of any federal securities and such certificates of deposit thus held shall, from time to time, be made in season so that the proceeds may be applied to the purposes for which the money with which the federal securities and certificates of deposit were originally acquired was placed in the treasury of the county.
Sec. 13. Any revenue bonds issued pursuant to this chapter may be refunded by the county, but subject to provisions concerning their payment and to any other contractual limitations in the proceedings authorizing their issuance or otherwise appertaining thereto, pursuant to an ordinance or ordinances to be adopted by the board, to refund, pay and discharge all or any part of such outstanding bonds, including any interest thereon in arrears, or about to become due for any period not exceeding 3 years from the date of the refunding bonds, or for the purpose of reducing interest costs or effecting other economies, or of modifying or eliminating restrictive contractual limitations appertaining to the issuance of additional bonds, otherwise concerning the outstanding bonds, or to any project appertaining thereto, or any combination thereof.
Sec. 14. Any bonds issued for refunding purposes may either be delivered in exchange for the outstanding bonds being refunded or may be publicly or privately sold.
Sec. 15. No bonds may be refunded under this chapter unless the holders thereof voluntarily surrender them for exchange or payment, or unless they either mature or are callable for prior redemption under their terms within 10 years from the date of issuance of the refunding bonds. Provision shall be made for paying the public securities within such period of time. No maturity of any bond refunded may be extended over 15 years, nor may any interest thereon be increased to any rate exceeding 5 percent per annum. The principal amount of the refunding bonds may exceed the principal amount of the refunded bonds if the aggregate principal and interest costs of the refunding bonds do not exceed such unaccrued costs of the bonds refunded, except to the extent any interest on the bonds refunded in arrears or about to become due is capitalized with the proceeds of the refunding bonds. The principal amount of the refunding bonds may also be less than or the same as the principal amount of the bonds being refunded so long as provision is duly and sufficiently made for their payment.
Sec. 16. 1. The proceeds of refunding bonds shall either be immediately applied to the retirement of the bonds to be refunded or be placed in escrow or trust in any state or national bank within this state which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to be applied to the payment of the refunded bonds upon their presentation therefor; but to the extent any incidental expenses have been capitalized, such bond proceeds may be used to defray such expenses; and any accrued interest and any premium appertaining to a sale of refunding bonds may be applied to the payment of the interest thereon and the principal thereof, or both interest and principal, or may be deposited in a reserve therefor, as the board may determine.
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 60 (CHAPTER 23, SB 11)κ
accrued interest and any premium appertaining to a sale of refunding bonds may be applied to the payment of the interest thereon and the principal thereof, or both interest and principal, or may be deposited in a reserve therefor, as the board may determine.
2. Any such escrow or trust shall not necessarily be limited to proceeds of refunding bonds but may include other moneys available for its purpose. Any proceeds in escrow or trust, pending such use, may be invested or reinvested in federal securities. Any bank accounting for federal securities in such escrow or trust may place them for safekeeping wholly or in part with another commercial bank or trust company within or without this state and authorized to exercise and exercising trust powers, including without limitation any branch of the Federal Reserve Bank. Any bank shall continuously secure the moneys placed in escrow or trust and not so invested in federal securities, if any, by a pledge with another commercial bank or trust company within or without this state and authorized to exercise and exercising trust powers, including without limitation any branch of the Federal Reserve Bank, of federal securities in an amount at all times at least equal to the total uninvested amount of such moneys accounted for in such escrow or trust. Such proceeds and investments in escrow or trust, together with any interest or other gain to be derived from any such investment, shall be in an amount at all times sufficient to pay principal, interest, any prior redemption premiums due, and any charges of the escrow agent or trustee payable therefrom, as they become due at their respective maturities or due at designated prior redemption date or dates in connection with which the board shall exercise a prior redemption option. Any purchaser of any bond issued under this chapter shall in no manner be responsible for the application of the proceeds thereof by the county or any of its officers, agents or employees.
Sec. 17. Refunding bonds may be made payable from any revenues derived from any motor vehicle tax receipts, or other source or sources which might be legally pledged for the payment of the bonds being refunded at the time of the refunding or at the time of the issuance of the bonds being refunded, as the board may determine, notwithstanding the pledge of such revenues for the payment of the outstanding bonds being refunded is thereby modified.
Sec. 18. Bonds for refunding and bonds for any other purpose or purposes authorized herein may be issued separately or issued in combination in one series or more by the county.
Sec. 19. Except as in sections 13 to 20, inclusive, of this act expressly provided or necessarily implied, the relevant provisions in this chapter appertaining generally to the issuance of bonds to defray the cost of a project herein authorized shall be equally applicable in the authorization and issuance of refunding bonds, including their terms and security, the covenants and other provisions of the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the bonds, and other aspects of the bonds.
Sec. 20. The determination of the board that the limitations under this chapter imposed upon the issuance of refunding bonds have been met shall be conclusive in the absence of fraud or arbitrary and gross abuse of discretion, regardless of whether the ordinance contains a recital as authorized by NRS 373.170.
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 61 (CHAPTER 23, SB 11)κ
Sec. 21. Any securities other than bonds issued pursuant to NRS 373.130 may be paid with the proceeds of any motor vehicle fuel taxes collected by or remitted to the county, subject to any existing pledges or other contractual limitations appertaining thereto, except for any proceeds of the excise tax of one-half cent per gallon levied on motor vehicle fuel by NRS 365.180, or may be funded with the proceeds of bonds issued hereunder as a cost of the project.

CHAPTER 27
AN ACT to amend chapter 369 of NRS, relating to intoxicating liquor licenses and taxes, by adding a new section defining delinquency in payment; to amend NRS section 369.230, relating to suspension or revocation of intoxicating liquor licenses, by requiring suspension or revocation under certain circumstances; to amend NRS section 369.470, relating to wholesale dealers licenses, by permitting sales for cash to delinquent retailers and removing the former definition of delinquency; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
[Approved May 30, 1966]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly,
do enact as follows:
Section 1. Chapter 369 of NRS is hereby amended by adding thereto a new section which shall read as follows:
As used in this chapter:
1. Except as provided in subsections 2 and 3, a retail liquor store is delinquent in payment for wholesale liquors when it has failed to pay for such liquors within 15 days following the end of the calendar month during which such liquors were purchased.
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 66 (CHAPTER 27, AB 13)κ
to pay for such liquors within 15 days following the end of the calendar month during which such liquors were purchased.
2. A retail liquor store is delinquent only when it has failed to pay for wholesale liquors within the time provided by individual contract if:
(a) The present proprietor assumed the trade accounts payable of a former proprietor before July 1, 1965; or
(b) The present proprietor assumed the trade accounts payable of a former proprietor after the effective date of this act and the former proprietor whose accounts were assumed, including any person beneficially interested in such proprietorship, has no beneficial interest in the present proprietorship,
and in either case the present proprietor begins within 30 days after the effective date of this act and continues to liquidate such accounts by monthly payments of not less than 25 percent of the amount payable on each account when assumed.
3. Where there exists a bona fide dispute between a retail liquor store and any importer or wholesale dealer with respect to the amount of indebtedness existing because of any alleged sale of liquor to such retail liquor store, the retail liquor store may avert a delinquency under this section by:
(a) Paying any amount due to the importer or wholesale dealer which is not disputed; and
(b) Giving notice in writing to the importer or wholesale dealer and to the tax commission of the dispute, stating briefly the amount in dispute and the reason therefor.
If upon a subsequent trial or settlement of the dispute the retail liquor store is finally required to pay to the importer or wholesale dealer more than half of the disputed amount, exclusive of any interest or costs, and the importer or wholesale dealer furnishes to the tax commission evidence satisfactory to it of such fact, the retail liquor store shall on demand pay to the tax commission a penalty of 10 percent of the amount in dispute. In default of such payment, or if the retail liquor store fails within 10 days after final judgment or settlement in writing to pay the amount adjudged or agreed to the importer or wholesale dealer, the retail liquor store is then delinquent under this chapter.
4. Payment by check, if accepted as a means of payment by the seller, constitutes payment for wholesale liquors within the meaning of this section unless such check is:
(a) Postdated; or
(b) Not honored upon presentation for payment.
5. As a condition precedent to the exercise of the right to purchase wholesale liquor for cash as provided in NRS 369.230 and 369.470, a retail liquor store which is delinquent under this section shall make monthly payments on the delinquent account of not less than 25 percent of the balance of such account on the date when delinquency first occurred.
Sec. 2. NRS 369.230 is hereby amended to read as follows:
369.230 1. The board of county commissioners may, upon its own motion, and shall, upon the verified complaint in writing of any person, investigate the action of any licensee under this chapter, and shall have power to recommend the temporary suspension or permanent revocation of a license for any one of the following acts or omissions:
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 67 (CHAPTER 27, AB 13)κ
have power to recommend the temporary suspension or permanent revocation of a license for any one of the following acts or omissions:
[1.] (a) Misrepresentation of a material fact by the applicant in obtaining a license under this chapter; or
[2.] (b) If the licensee violates or causes or permits to be violated any of the provisions of this chapter; or
[3.] (c) If the licensee commits any act which would be sufficient ground for the denial of an application for a license under this chapter; or
[4.] (d) If the licensee sells liquor to a wholesaler or retailer who is not a holder of a proper license or permit at such time; or
[5.] (e) If the licensee fails to pay the excise tax or any penalty in connection therewith, in whole or in part, imposed by law, or violates any rule or regulation of the tax commission respecting the same. [; or
6. If the licensee sells liquor to a retail liquor store that is delinquent in its payment for wholesale liquors; or
7. Failure of a licensee to report or falsely reporting to the tax commission that a retail liquor store has become delinquent in payment for wholesale liquors.]
2. The board of county commissioners shall recommend the suspension or revocation of a license:
(a) If the licensee sells liquor, except for cash as provided in section 1 of this act, to a retail liquor store which is delinquent in its payment for wholesale liquors; or
(b) If the licensee fails to report or falsely reports to the tax commission that a retail liquor store has become delinquent in its payment for wholesale liquors.
Where the licensee is not the person to whom the delinquent account is due, his license shall not be suspended or revoked unless it is shown that the sale to a delinquent retail liquor store was made after receipt of a notice of delinquency from the tax commission.
Sec. 3. NRS 369.470 is hereby amended to read as follows:
369.470 1. Wholesale dealers licenses shall permit the holders thereof to sell liquor to wholesalers, retailers and those instrumentalities of the Armed Forces of the United States specified in NRS 369.335 only anywhere in Nevada. Sale by a wholesaler to himself as a retailer is not the transaction of a bona fide wholesale business.

3. A wholesaler shall immediately report all such delinquent retail liquor stores to the tax commission and the tax commission shall notify and direct all licensed wholesalers in the state to stop the sale of all wholesale liquors, except for cash, to such delinquent retail liquor stores. A wholesaler shall immediately report to the tax commission any delinquent retail liquor store which fails to make the 25 percent installment payments required by section 1 of this act, and the tax commission shall thereupon notify and direct all licensed wholesalers in the state to stop all sales of wholesale liquors to such store.

4. Upon subsequent notification by a wholesaler to the tax commission that full payment has been received from a delinquent retail liquor store, the tax commission shall so advise all wholesalers and give them permission again to sell liquors to such retail liquor stores.

CHAPTER 31
AN ACT relating to motor vehicle fuel taxes; to amend NRS sections 365.370, 365.380 and 365.445, relating to refunds of such taxes, by providing for the payment of refund claims, for refunds on fuel consumed by motor vehicles with auxiliary equipment and on fuel used by farmers and ranchers; to amend NRS section 365.565, relating to the distribution of taxes collected on aviation fuel, by removing an erroneous reference; to repeal NRS section 365.415, relating to penalties imposed for and appeals therefrom on illegal refund claims based on altered invoices; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
[Approved May 30, 1966]
The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly,
do enact as follows:
Section 1. NRS 365.380 is hereby amended to read as follows:
365.380 1. A claimant for refund shall present to the tax commission a refund claim form accompanied by the original invoices showing the purchase. The refund forms shall state the total amount of such fuel so purchased and used by the consumer otherwise than for the propulsion of motor vehicles and the manner and the equipment in which the claimant has used the same.
2. A claimant for refund of tax on motor vehicle fuel purchased and exported from this state shall execute and furnish to the tax commission a certificate of exportation on such form as may be prescribed by the tax commission.
3. An invoice to qualify for refund shall contain at least:
(a) The number of gallons of motor vehicle fuel purchased;
(b) The price per gallon;
(c) The total purchase price of the motor vehicle fuel; and
(d) Such other information as may be prescribed by the tax commission.
4. The signature on the refund claim form shall subject the claimant to the charge of perjury for false statements contained on the refund application.
5. Daily records shall be maintained and preserved for a period of 3 years for audit purposes of all motor vehicle fuel used. The record shall set forth:
(a) The piece of equipment being supplied with the fuel;
(b) The number of gallons of fuel used in each fill; and
(c) The purpose for which the piece of equipment will be used.
The gasoline fills shall be further classified as to on- or off-highway use. [Any motor vehicle fuel used in any licensed motor vehicle does not qualify for refund.
6. In accounting for motor vehicle fuel used for refund purposes direct measures shall be used and estimates are prohibited. Self-propelled vehicles with mounted auxiliary equipment consuming motor vehicle fuel shall only be allowed refunds if a separate motor vehicle fuel tank and a separate motor is used to operate the auxiliary equipment.]
6. When a motor vehicle with auxiliary equipment consumes motor vehicle fuel and there is no auxiliary motor or separate tank for such motor, a refund of 20 percent of the tax paid on the fuel used in such vehicle may be claimed without the necessity of furnishing proof of the amount of fuel consumed in the operation of the auxiliary equipment.
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 71 (CHAPTER 31, AB 5)κ
vehicle fuel and there is no auxiliary motor or separate tank for such motor, a refund of 20 percent of the tax paid on the fuel used in such vehicle may be claimed without the necessity of furnishing proof of the amount of fuel consumed in the operation of the auxiliary equipment. Where claims for refund exceed 20 percent the tax commission shall, by rule and regulation, establish uniform refund provisions for the respective classes of users.
7. No person may be granted a refund of motor vehicle fuel taxes for off-highway use when such consumption takes place on highways constructed and maintained by public funds, on federal proprietary lands or reservations where the claimant has no ownership or control over such land or highways, except when such person is under a contractual relationship with the Federal Government or one of its agencies and is engaged in the performance of his duties pursuant to such relationship. Employment of an individual by the Federal Government or any of its agencies does not constitute a contractual relationship for the purpose of this subsection.
8. When in the opinion of the tax commission it would be beneficial to the state for a refund claimant to become a licensed dealer, such claimant may, at the option of the tax commission, be required to become a licensed dealer rather than a refund claimant unless such claimant chooses to claim refunds at the tax rate, less 2 percent.
Sec. 2. NRS 365.445 is hereby amended to read as follows:
365.445 1. For the purposes of this section, bulk purchases means purchases in excess of 50 gallons of [regular] motor vehicle fuel which are not placed directly into the tanks of motor vehicles.
2. Any person determined by the tax commission to be a bona fide farmer or rancher, not engaged in other activities which would distort his highway usage, may claim a refund only on the basis of 80 percent of his bulk purchases, without the necessity of maintaining records of use.
3. Any farmer or rancher desiring to claim a refund under the provisions of this section must first secure a permit from the tax commission, and such a permit shall bind the permittee to file claims for refunds under the provisions of this section until a request has been made for a change of basis for filing, which request has been approved by the tax commission.
4. The tax commission is empowered to issue reasonable rules and regulations to carry out the purposes of this section.
Sec. 3. NRS 365.565 is hereby amended to read as follows:
365.565 The tax derived from motor vehicle fuel used in aircraft shall be distributed, after payment of refund claims [for fuel consumed in commercial aircraft] as provided in NRS 365.370 and 494.043, in the following manner:
1. There shall be transferred to the Civil Air Patrol fund, hereby created in the state treasury, from the state airport fund, for the ensuing fiscal year, a sum not to exceed $15,000 or the total amount in such fund, whichever is lesser. The amount so transferred shall be expended for the support of Nevada Wing 96 of the Civil Air Patrol and shall be in addition to and separate from any legislative appropriations made to the Civil Air Patrol fund for the support of Nevada Wing 96 of the Civil Air Patrol.
κ1966 Statutes of Nevada, 12th Special Session, Page 72 (CHAPTER 31, AB 5)κ
Wing 96 of the Civil Air Patrol. Moneys in the Civil Air Patrol fund shall be paid out only upon claims certified by the wing commander and the wing executive officer and approved by the state board of examiners, in the same manner as other claims against the state are paid. Moneys in the Civil Air Patrol fund shall be used only by Nevada Wing 96 of the Civil Air Patrol in carrying out its crash, rescue and emergency operations, and organization and training therefor, and in defraying the cost of headquarters rental and purchase, repair and maintenance of emergency and training equipment. No moneys in the Civil Air Patrol fund shall be expended for the purchase of any aircraft.
2. There shall be remitted to the county treasurers of the respective counties such portion of the remaining balance in such fund as is proportional to the excise taxes remitted by dealers or users in such county.
3. Such distribution shall be made on July 1, 1966, and on July 1 of each year thereafter.
Sec. 4. NRS 365.370 is hereby amended to read as follows:
365.370 Any person who shall export any motor vehicle fuel from this state, or who shall sell any such fuel to the United States Government for official use of the United States Armed Forces, or who shall buy and use any such fuel for purposes other than in and for the propulsion of motor vehicles, and who shall have paid any tax on such fuel levied or directed to be paid as provided by this chapter, either directly by the collection of such tax by the vendor from such consumer or indirectly by the addition of the amount of such tax to the price of such fuel, shall be reimbursed and repaid the amount of such tax so paid by him except as follows:
1. Refund claims shall be [submitted and] paid once every 6 months and the dates for [submission] payment shall be prescribed by classes by the tax commissions rules and regulations.
2. The minimum claim for refund shall be based on at least 200 gallons purchased and used in a 6-month period.
3. From the amount of gasoline tax refund due shall be deducted an amount equal to 2 percent of the refund, which shall be deposited in the state highway fund.
4. No refund of motor vehicle fuel taxes shall be made for off-highway use of motor vehicle fuel consumed in watercraft in this state for recreational purpose.
Sec. 5. NRS 365.415 is hereby repealed.
Sec. 6. This act shall become effective upon passage and approval.
