The People of the State of Nevada, represented in Senate and Assembly, do enact as follows:
Section 1. Section five, as the same has been heretofore amended, of an act entitled An act to secure liens to mechanics and others and to repeal all other acts in relation thereto, approved March 2, 1875, is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 5. It shall be the duty of the owner of any building, improvement, or structure, mentioned in section one of this act, upon or after the completion thereof, or of any alteration or repair thereof, to file or cause to be filed with the county recorder of the county where the same or some part thereof is situated, an affidavit, under the oath of himself or of some other person conversant with the facts, stating that such building, improvement or structure, or the alteration or repair thereof, as the case may be, has been completed, giving the date of such completion, and a description of the same sufficient for identification. If any such affidavit be filed before the building, improvement or structure, or the alteration or repair thereof, as the case may be, has in fact been completed, such filing shall be void and a mere nullity, and the time within which any claim of lien as hereinafter provided shall be filed, shall not commence to run until after such building, improvement or structure, or the alteration or repair thereof, as the case may be, has in fact been completed, and a valid and legal affidavit thereafter been filed. Every person claiming the benefit of this chapter shall, not earlier than ten days after the completion of his contract, or the delivery of material by him, or the performance of his labor, as the case may be, and not later than fifty days after filing of the owner or other person as aforesaid of the affidavit hereinbefore provided for, or within fifty days after the performance of any labor in a mining claim, file for record with the county recorder of the county where the property or some part thereof is situate, a claim containing a statement of his demand after deducting all just credits and offsets, with the name of the owner or reputed owner if known, also the name of the person by whom he was employed or to whom he furnished the material, a statement of the terms, time given, and conditions of his contract, and also a description of the property to be charged with the lien sufficient for identification, which claim must be verified by the oath of himself or some other person. Upon the trial of any action or suit to foreclose such lien no variance between the lien and the proof shall defeat the lien or be deemed material unless the same shall result from fraud or be made intentionally, or shall have misled the adverse party to his prejudice, but in all cases of immaterial variance the claim of lien may be amended, by amendment duly recorded, to conform the proof. |

or be made intentionally, or shall have misled the adverse party to his prejudice, but in all cases of immaterial variance the claim of lien may be amended, by amendment duly recorded, to conform the proof. No error or mistake in the name of the owner or reputed owner contained in any claim of lien shall be held to defeat the lien, unless a correction of the lien in this particular shall prejudice the rights of an innocent, bona fide purchaser or encumbrancer for value. But upon the trial, if it shall appear that an error or mistake has been made in the name of the owner or reputed owner, or that the wrong person has been named as owner or reputed owner, in any such claim of lien, the court shall order an amended claim of lien to be recorded with the recorder where the original claim was recorded, and shall issue to the person who is so made to appear to be the original or reputed owner, a notice directing such person or persons to be and appear, within the same time as is provided by law for the appearance in other actions after the service of summons, and said notice shall be served in all respects as a summons is required to be served, before in said court and to show cause why he should not be substituted in said claim of lien and in said suit in lieu of the person so made defendant and alleged to be owner or reputed owner by mistake, and to further show why he should not be bound by the judgment or decree of the court. And such proceedings shall be had therein as though the party so cited to appear had been an original party defendant in the action or suit, and originally named in the claim of lien as owner or reputed owner, and the rights of all parties shall thereupon be fully adjudicated. |

Any officer, agent or person in charge of the books, accounts, records and papers, or any of them, of any public utility, who shall refuse or fail for a period of thirty days to furnish the commission with any report required by the provisions of this act, and any officer, agent or person in charge of any particular books, accounts, records or papers relating to the business of such public utility who shall refuse to permit any commission or other person duly authorized by the commission to inspect such books, accounts, records or papers on behalf of the commission, shall be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100), or more than five hundred dollars ($500), such fine to be recovered in a civil action upon the complaint of the commission in any court of competent jurisdiction; and each days refusal or failure on the part of such officer, agent or person in charge shall be deemed a separate offense, and be subject to the penalty herein prescribed. Sec. 9. The commission shall make and publish annual reports for each calendar year showing its proceedings, which reports shall, as nearly as may be, conform in a general way to those of the railroad commission of this state, and be made at the same time. All the reports, records, accounts, books, files, papers and memoranda of every nature in the possession of the commission shall be open to the public, at all reasonable times, subject to the exception that when the commission deems it necessary, in the interest of the public, it may withhold from the public any facts or information in its possession for a period of not more than ninety days after the acquisition of such facts or information. Sec. 10. The commission shall ascertain and prescribe for each kind of public utility adequate, convenient and serviceable standards for the measurement of quality, pressure, voltage or other conditions pertaining to the supply of the product or service rendered by any public utility, and prescribe reasonable regulations for the examination and testing of such products or service and for the measurement thereof. |

products or service and for the measurement thereof. Any consumer, user or party served may have the quality or quantity of the product or the character of any service rendered by any public utility tested upon the payment of fees fixed by the commission, which fees, however, shall be paid by the public utility and repaid to the complaining party if the quality or quantity of the product or the character of the service be found by the commission defective or insufficient in a degree to justify the demand for testing; or the commission may apportion the fees between the parties as justice may require. The commission may, in its discretion, purchase such materials, apparatus, and standard measuring instruments for such examinations and tests as it may deem necessary. The commission shall have the right and power to enter upon any premises occupied by any public utility for the purpose of making the examinations and tests provided for in this act and set up and use on such premises any necessary apparatus and appliances and occupy reasonable space therefor. Any public utility refusing to allow such examinations to be made as herein provided shall be subject to the penalties prescribed in section 8 of this act. Sec. 11. Every public utility shall file with the commission within a time to be fixed by the commission, schedules which shall be open to public inspection, showing all rates, tolls and charges which it has established and which are in force at the time for any service performed or product furnished in connection therewith by any public utility controlled or operated by it. In connection with such schedule, and as a part of it, shall also be filed all rules and regulations that in any manner affect the rates charged or to be charged for any service or product. A copy or so much of said schedules as the commission shall deem necessary for the use of the public shall be printed in plain type and posted in every station or office of such public utility where payments are made by the consumers or users, open to the public, in such form and place as to be readily accessible to the public and conveniently inspected. When a schedule of joint rates or charges is or may be in force between two or more public utilities, such schedule shall, in like manner, be printed and filed with the commission, and so much thereof as the commission may deem necessary for the use of the public shall be posted conspicuously in every station or office as in this section above provided. No changes shall thereafter be made in any schedule, including schedules of joint rates or in the rules and regulations affecting any and all rates or charges except upon thirty days notice to the commission and all such charges shall be plainly indicated, or by filing new schedules in lieu thereof thirty days prior to the time the same are to take effect; provided, that the commission, upon application of any public utility may prescribe a less time within which a reduction may be made. Copies of all new or amended schedules shall be filed, and posted in the stations and offices of public utilities as in the case of original schedules. |

amended schedules shall be filed, and posted in the stations and offices of public utilities as in the case of original schedules. Sec. 12. It shall be unlawful for any public utility to charge, demand, collect or receive a greater or less compensation for any service performed by it within the state or for any service in connection therewith than is specified in such printed schedules, including schedules of joint rates, as may at the time be in force, or to demand, collect or receive any rate, toll or charge not specified in such schedules. The rates, tolls, and charges named therein shall be the lawful rates, tolls and charges until the same are changed as provided in this act. It shall likewise be unlawful for any public utility to grant any rebate, concession or special privilege to any consumer or user, which directly or indirectly shall or may have the effect of changing the rates, tolls, charges or payments, and any violation of the provisions of this section shall subject the violator to the penalty prescribed in section 10 of this act. This, however, shall not have the effect of suspending, rescinding, invalidating or in any way affecting existing contracts. Sec. 13. The commission may prescribe classifications of the service of all public utilities, and in such classifications may take into account the quantity used, the time when used, and any other reasonable consideration. Each public utility is required to conform its schedule of rates, tolls, and charges to such classifications, for which schedules the commission may, when necessary, prescribe the forms. Sec. 14. The commission shall have power to adopt reasonable and proper rules and regulations relative to all inspections, tests, audits, and investigations, and to adopt and publish reasonable and proper rules to govern its proceedings and to regulate the mode and manner of all investigations and hearings held for the purpose of determining any question affecting public utilities; provided, that all such hearings shall be public. Sec. 15. The commission may require, by order to be served on any public utility in the same manner as a summons in a civil action, the production at such time and place as the commission may designate of any books, accounts, papers or records kept by such public utility in any office or place without the State of Nevada, or verified copies in lieu thereof, if the commission shall so direct, in order that an examination thereof may be made by the commission or under its direction, or for use as testimony. If any public utility shall refuse or fail to comply with such order, the said utility shall be subject to the liability named in section 8. Sec. 16. The commission shall have the authority to employ an expert engineer at a salary of $3,600 per annum and necessary traveling expenses and is invested with full power to remove such engineer whenever his services shall be unsatisfactory to the commission. The commission may employ and remove such other experts, clerks and assistants as it shall deem necessary, and fix their compensations. |

remove such other experts, clerks and assistants as it shall deem necessary, and fix their compensations. Sec. 17. Upon a complaint made against any public utility by any mercantile, agricultural or manufacturing society or club, or by any body politic or municipal organization or by any person or persons, firm or firms, corporation or corporations, or association or associations, the same being interested, that any of the rates, tolls, charges or schedules of any joint rate or rates are in any respect unreasonable or unjustly discriminating, or that any regulations, measurements, practice or act whatsoever affecting or relating to the production, transmission or delivery or furnishing of heat, light, water or power, or any service in connection therewith is, in any respect, unreasonable, insufficient, or unjustly discriminatory, or that any service is inadequate, the commission shall proceed, with or without notice, to make such investigation as it may deem necessary. But no order affecting said rates, tolls, charges, schedules, regulations, measurements, practice or act complained of shall be entered without a formal hearing. (a) The commission shall, prior to such formal hearing, notify the public utility complained of that complaint has been made, stating the substance thereof, or, if deemed necessary, accompanying the notice with a copy of the complaint, and ten days after such notice has been given, the commission may set a time for a hearing. (b) The commission shall give the public utility and the complainant or complainants at least ten days notice of the time when and the place where such hearing will be held, at which hearing both the complainant and the public utility shall have the right to appear by counsel or otherwise, and be fully heard. Either party shall be entitled to an order by the commission for the appearance of witnesses or the production of books, papers, and documents containing material testimony. Witnesses appearing upon the order of the commission shall be entitled to the same fees and mileage as witnesses in civil cases in the courts of the state, and the same shall be paid out of the state treasury in the same manner as other claims against the state are paid; but no fees or mileage shall be allowed, unless the chairman of the commission shall certify to the correctness of the claim. Sec. 18. If any party ordered to appear before the commission as a witness shall fail to obey such order, the commission, or any member, or the secretary thereof, may apply to the clerk of the nearest district court for a subpena commanding the attendance of said witness before the commission. It shall be the duty of such clerk to issue such subpena, and of any peace officer to serve the same. Disobedience to such subpena shall be deemed a contempt of court and punished accordingly. Sec. 19. If upon such hearing and due investigation, the rates, tolls, charges, schedules or joint rates shall be found to be unjust, unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory, or to be preferential or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of this act, the commission shall have the power to fix and order substituted therefor such rate or rates, tolls, charges or schedules, as shall be just and reasonable. |

be unjust, unreasonable, or unjustly discriminatory, or to be preferential or otherwise in violation of any of the provisions of this act, the commission shall have the power to fix and order substituted therefor such rate or rates, tolls, charges or schedules, as shall be just and reasonable. If it shall in a like manner be found that any regulation, measurement, practice, act or service complained is unjust, unreasonable, insufficient, preferential, unjustly discriminatory, or otherwise in violation of the provisions of this act, or if it be found that the service is inadequate, or that any reasonable service cannot be obtained, the commission shall have power to substitute therefor such other regulations, measurements, practices, service or acts, and make such order relating thereto as may be just and reasonable. (b) When complaint is made of more than one rate, charge or practice, the commission may, in its discretion, order separate hearings upon the several matters complained of and at such times and places as it may prescribe. No complaint shall at any time be dismissed because of the absence of direct damage to the complainant. The commission may at any time, upon its own motion, investigate any of the rates, tolls, charges, rules, regulations, practices, and service, and after a full hearing as above provided, by order make such changes as may be just and reasonable, the same as if a formal complaint had been made. Sec. 20. The commission, or any party to any proceeding before it, may cause the depositions of witnesses to be taken in the manner prescribed by law for like depositions in civil actions. Sec. 21. A full and complete record shall be kept of all proceedings before the commission or its representative on any formal investigation, and all testimony shall be taken down by the stenographer appointed by the commission. Whenever any complaint is served upon the commission as hereinafter provided for the bringing of actions against the commission, before the action is reached for trial, the commission shall cause a certified copy of all proceedings held and testimony taken upon such investigation to be filed with the clerk of the court in which the action is pending. Sec. 22. No person shall be excused from testifying, or from producing books and papers in any proceedings based upon or growing out of any alleged violation of the provisions of this act, on the ground of or for the reason that the testimony or evidence, documentary or otherwise, required of him may tend to incriminate or subject him to penalty or forfeiture; but no person having so testified shall be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture for, or on account of, any transaction, matter or thing concerning which he may have testified or produced any documentary evidence; provided, that no person so testifying shall be exempted from prosecution or punishments for perjury in so testifying. Sec. 23. Any officer, agent, or employee of any public utility who shall wilfully fail or refuse to fill out and return any blanks as required by this act, or shall wilfully fail or refuse to answer any questions therein propounded, or shall knowingly or wilfully give a false answer to any such questions, or shall evade the answer to any such question, where the fact inquired of is within his knowledge, or who shall, upon proper demand, wilfully fail or refuse to exhibit to any commission or any commissioners, or any person also authorized to examine the same, any book, paper or account of such public utility which is in his possession or under his control, shall be subject to the penalty prescribed in section 8 of this act. |

Sec. 24. The commission shall inquire into any neglect or violations of the laws of this state by any such public utility as hereinbefore defined, doing business therein, or by the officers, agents, or employees thereof, and shall have the power, and it shall be its duty, to enforce the provisions of this act, and report all violations thereof to the attorney-general; upon the request of the commission it shall be the duty of the attorney-general, or the prosecuting attorney of the proper, or any county, to aid in any investigations, prosecutions, hearing, or trial had under the provisions of this act, and to institute and prosecute all necessary actions or proceedings for the enforcement of this act. Sec. 25. All rates, fares, charges, classifications and joint rates fixed by the commission shall be enforced, and shall be prima facie lawful, from the date of the order until changed or modified by the commission, or in pursuance of section 26 of this act. All regulations, practices and service, prescribed by the commission shall be enforced and shall be prima facie reasonable unless suspended or found otherwise in an action brought for that purpose, pursuant to the provisions of section 27 of this act, or until changed or modified by the commission itself upon satisfactory showing made. Sec. 26. Any party in interest being dissatisfied with an order of the commission fixing any rate or rates, fares, charges, classifications, joint rate or rates, or any order fixing any regulations, practices or services, may within ninety (90) days commence an action in the district court of the proper county against the commission and other interested parties as defendants to vacate and set aside any such order on the ground that the rate or rates, fares, charges, classifications, joint rate or rates, fixed in such order is unlawful or unreasonable, or that any such regulation, practice, or service, fixed in such order is unreasonable. The commission and other parties defendant shall file their answers to said complaint within thirty (30) days after the service thereof, whereupon such action shall be at issue and stand ready for trial upon twenty (20) days notice to either party.

(a) No injunction shall issue suspending or staying any order of the commission except upon application to the court or judge thereof, notice to the commission having first been given and hearing have been had thereon; provided, that all rates fixed by the commission shall be deemed reasonable and just, and shall remain in full force and effect until final determination by the courts having jurisdiction. (b) If, upon the trial of such action, evidence shall be introduced by the plaintiff which is found by the court to be different from that offered upon the hearing before the commission, or additional thereto, the court, before proceeding to render judgment, unless the parties to such action stipulate in writing to the contrary, shall transmit a copy of such evidence to the commission, and shall stay further proceedings in said action for fifteen (15) days from the date of such transmission. Upon receipt of such evidence the commission shall consider the same, and may later modify, amend or rescind its order relating to such rate or rates, fares, charges, classifications, joint rate or rates, regulation, practice or service complained of in said action, and shall report its action thereon to said court within ten days from the receipt of such evidence.

Where an appeal is taken to the supreme court of Nevada the cause shall, on the return of the papers to the higher court, be immediately placed on the calendar of the then pending term, and shall be assigned and brought to a hearing in the same manner as other causes on the calendar. (e) In all actions under this act the burden of proof shall be upon the party attacking or resisting the order of the commission to show by clear and satisfactory evidence that the order is unlawful, or unreasonable, as the case may be. Sec. 27. Every public utility shall, whenever an accident occurs in the conduct of its operations, causing death or personal injuries, give immediate notice thereof to the commission. If in its judgment the public interest requires it, the commission shall cause an investigation to be made forthwith, at such place and in such manner as the commission shall deem best. |

If any public utility shall violate any provision of this act, or shall do any act herein prohibited, or shall fail, or refuse to perform any duty enjoined upon it, or upon failure of any public utility to place in operation any rate or joint rate, or do any act herein prohibited, for which a penalty has not been provided, or shall fail, neglect, or refuse to obey any lawful requirement or order made by the commission or any court for every such violation, failure or refusal, such public utility shall be subject to the penalty prescribed by section 8 of this act.

est in the property affected thereby, except as to railroad and other quasi-public corporations. In case of debts so secured, the value of the property affected by such mortgage, deed of trust, contract, or obligation, less the value of such security, shall be assessed and taxed to the owner of the property, and the value of such security shall be assessed and taxed to the owner thereof, in the county, city, or district in which the property affected thereby is situated. The taxes so levied shall be a lien upon the property and security, and may be paid by either party to such security; if paid by the owner of the security, the tax so levied upon the property affected thereby shall become a part of the debt so secured. If the owner of the property shall pay the tax so levied on such security, it shall constitute a payment thereon, and, to the extent of such payment, a full discharge thereof. If any such security indebtedness shall be paid by any such debtor or debtors after assessment and before the tax levy, the amount of such levy may likewise be retained by such debtor or debtors, and shall be computed according to the tax levy for the preceding year; and every contract by which a debtor is obliged to pay any tax or assessment on money loaned, or on any mortgage, deed of trust, or other lien, shall, as to any interest specified therein, and as to such tax or assessment, be null and void. Sec. 2. The owner of a mortgage, deed of trust, contract, or other obligation whereby land or real property, situated in this state, is made security for the payment of a debt, and also the debt so secured, shall for the purpose of assessment and taxation, be deemed to be the person or persons to whom the security was given in the first instance, unless it appears on the record of the security that some other person is the owner; and all assignments or transfers of a debt secured as mentioned in this act shall, for the purposes of assessment and taxation, be null and void, unless such transfer or assignment is made in writing upon the margin of the record of the security, and the name of the person to whom such debt is assigned or transferred given; and in all cases such debt and security shall be assessed and taxed to the other person or persons who appear on the record of such security to be owner or owners thereof; and a mortgage, deed of trust, contract, or other obligation whereby land or real property situated in no more than one county in this state is made security for the payment of a debt, together with such debt, shall be assessed and taxed to the owner of such security and debt in the county, city or district in which the land or real property affected by such security is situated. The taxes so assessed and levied on such security and debt shall be a lien thereon, and the debt, together with the security, may be sold for the payment of any taxes due thereon, in the same manner and with like effect that real property or land is sold for the payment of taxes. Sec. 3. For the purposes of assessment and taxation no payment on any debt secured as hereinbefore mentioned in this act shall hereafter be taken into consideration by any assessor in this state, when assessing such debt and security as herein provided, unless such payment is endorsed in writing on the margin of the record of such security by the owner thereof, or his authorized agent, before the delivery by the county recorder to the board of equalization of the abstract of all unsatisfied mortgages and liens remaining on record in his office. |

And in all cases the assessor shall assess such debt and security for the full amount of such debt, that appears from the record of such security to be owing, unless in the judgment of the assessor the land or real property by which such debt is secured is not worth as many dollars as still appears unpaid of such debt, and then, in that case, he shall assess such debt and security at whatever sum he thinks to be their real cash value. Sec. 4. It is hereby made the duty of the several county recorders in this state to record in the margin of the record of all mortgages on land and real property, when requested so to do by the mortgagee or owner of the mortgage, all assignments thereof, or of the note or other evidence of debt thereby secured, and also all payments made thereon or the note or other evidence of debt secured thereby, and copies thereof certified by such recorded shall be received in evidence in all courts of this state with like effect as a certified copy of such mortgage. And all persons who now have mortgages recorded in this state, upon which partial payments have been made, are hereby allowed sixty days after this act takes effect to cause to be recorded in the recorders office of the proper county such payments, with the dates thereof. Sec. 5. Where any bank or trust company is assessed in this state upon its shares or capital stock, and such bank or trust company is the owner of mortgages or trust deeds assessed to it upon lands within this state, the amount or value of such mortgages or trust deeds shall be deducted from the amount which it is assessed upon its shares or capital stock; and such bank or trust company shall only be assessed upon such sum for its shares or capital stock after deducting the value of the mortgages or trust deeds owned by it. Sec. 6. All acts and parts of acts in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Sec. 7. This act shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage.

Sec. 3.

(a) The erection or demolition of any bridge or building in which there is, or in which the plans or specifications require iron or steel framework; (b) The operation of elevators, elevating machines or derricks or hoisting apparatus used within or on the outside of any bridge or building for the conveying of material in connection with the erection or demolition of such bridge or building; (c) Work on scaffolds of any kind elevated twenty feet or more above the ground, water or floor beneath, in the erection, construction, painting, alteration or repair of buildings, bridges or structures; (d) Construction, operation, alteration, or repair of wires, cables, switchboards or apparatus charged with electric currents; (e) The operation on railroads of locomotives, engines, trains, motors or cars propelled by gravity, steam, electricity or other mechanical power, or the construction or repairs of railroad tracks and roadbeds over which such locomotives, engines, trains, motors, or cars are operated; (f) Construction, operation, alteration, or repairs of locomotives, engines, trains, motors or cars in or about the shops, round-houses, or other places, where the same is done; (g) Construction, operation, alteration or repairs to mills, smelters or mines, including every shaft or pit in the course of being sunk, and every crosscut, drift, station, winze, level or inclined planes through which workmen pass to and from work, and all works, machinery, tramways, ladders or passages, both below ground and above ground, in and adjacent to any mine; |

(h) All work necessitating dangerous proximity to gunpowder, blasting powder, dynamite or any other explosives where the same are used as instrumentalities of the industry; (i) The construction of tunnels. The employers to whom this act shall apply shall be any person or persons, association, partnership or corporation carrying on any such industry as aforesaid. Sec. 4. Notice of accidents must be given to the employer as soon as practicable after the happening thereof, and the claim for compensation with respect to such accident within six months from the occurrence of such accident causing the injury, or in case of death, within six months from the time of death; provided, always, that the want of, or any defect or inaccuracy in, such notice shall not be a bar to the maintenance of such proceedings if it is found in the proceedings for settling the claim that the employer is not prejudiced in his defense by the want, defect or inaccuracy, and that such want, defect or inaccuracy was occasioned by mistake or other reasonable cause. Notice in respect of an injury under this act shall give the name and address of the person injured, and shall state in ordinary language the cause of the injury, if known, the date at which it was sustained, and shall be served on the employer, or, if there is more than one employer, upon one of such employers. The notice may be served by delivering the same to or at the residence or place of business of the person upon whom it is to be served, or the notice may also be served by post, by a registered letter addressed to the person on whom it is to be served at his last known place of residence or place of business, and if served by post shall be deemed to have been served at the time when the letter containing the same would have been delivered in the ordinary course of post, and in proving the service of such notice it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed and registered. Where the employer is a body of persons, natural or artificial, the notice may also be served by delivering the same at, or by sending it by post in a registered letter addressed to the employer at the office, or, if there be more than one office, any one of the offices of such body. Sec. 5. The amount of compensation in case death results from injury, or for death accruing within five years as a result of injury, shall be: (a) If the workman leave any person or persons who at the time of the accident were wholly dependent upon his earnings, a sum equal to his earnings in the employment of the same employer during the three years next preceding the injury, or the sum of two thousand dollars, whichever of these sums is the greater, but not exceeding in any case three thousand dollars; provided, that the total sum of any weekly payments made under this act shall be deducted from such sum; and if the period of the workmans employment by the same employer has been less than the said three years, then the amount of his earnings during the said three years shall be deemed to be nine hundred and thirty-six times his average daily earnings during the period of his actual employment under the same employer;
|
κ1911 Statutes of Nevada, Page 365 (CHAPTER 183)κ
|
same employer has been less than the said three years, then the amount of his earnings during the said three years shall be deemed to be nine hundred and thirty-six times his average daily earnings during the period of his actual employment under the same employer; (b) If the workman leave only person or persons who at the time of the accident were partly dependent upon his earnings, a sum equal to 50 per cent of the amount payable under the foregoing provisions of this section; (c) If the workman leave no person at the time of the accident who was dependent upon his earnings, the reasonable expenses of his medical attendance and burial, not exceeding in all three hundred dollars. Whatever sum is payable under this section in case of death of the injured workman shall be paid to his legal representatives for the benefit of such dependents, and if he leaves no such dependents, then to the public administrator, for the benefit of the person or persons to whom the expenses of medical attendance and burial are due. Sec. 6. The amount of compensation in case of total or partial disability resulting from injury shall be: (a) A weekly payment during the disability, beginning within ten days after the injury, 60 per cent of his average weekly earnings in such employment during the previous twelve months if he has been so long employed, but if not, then for any less period during which he has been in the employment of the same employer, so long as there is complete disability; and that proportion of the said percentage which the depleted earning capacity for that service bears to the total disability when the injury is only partial, but in no event shall the total of all payments under this act exceed the sum of three thousand dollars; (b) In addition to the foregoing payments, if the injured person lose both feet or both hands, or one foot and one hand, or both eyes or one eye and one foot or one hand, he shall receive, during a full period of five years, 40 per cent of his average weekly earnings, or if he lose one foot, one hand or one eye, the additional compensation therefor shall be 15 per cent of his average weekly earnings, the amount of such earnings to be computed in the same manner as the foregoing 60 per cent; provided, that in no case shall all the payments received herein exceed in any month the whole wages earned when the injury occurs, nor shall the added percentages continue longer than to make all payments aggregate three thousand dollars. Sec. 7. Any workman entitled to receive weekly payments under this act is required, if requested by the employer, to submit himself for examination by a duly qualified medical practitioner or surgeon provided and paid for by the employer, at a time and place reasonably convenient for the workman, within three weeks after the injury, and thereafter at intervals not oftener than once in six weeks. |

vals not oftener than once in six weeks. A copy of the report of the examining physician shall be furnished to the workman. If a dispute then exists as to the workmans condition or amount of weekly compensation such dispute shall be determined by arbitration under this act, or by judicial procedure as hereinafter provided; provided, also, that any and all disputes arising under this act may be first submitted to a board of arbitration, and in case of failure to settle it, resort may be had to courts of justice. Sec. 8. Arbitration proceedings shall be as follows: The employer and the workman may each choose one arbitrator, the two arbitrators thus chosen shall choose a third, and the three arbitrators shall hear the facts of the dispute within three months after having been chosen, and within two weeks thereafter, render a decision, which, if unanimous, shall be final and binding on both parties. Sec. 9. On failure of the board of arbitration to reach an adjustment of the dispute above referred to, either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction, and have an adjudication as in any other controversy. And the findings and judgment of the court shall be conclusive on all parties concerned. Said courts may compel the attendance of witnesses and the production of evidence, as in all other cases provided for by law, and the judgment of said court may continue and diminish or increase the weekly payments, subject to the maximum provided in this act. The prevailing party in any action, brought under the provisions of this act, shall be entitled to his costs of suit and reasonable attorneys fees; provided, that nothing in this act shall operate to defeat the constitutional right of appeal. Sec. 10. If any employer who shall be the principal, enters into a contract with an independent contractor to do part of such employers work, or if such contractor enters into a contract with a subcontractor to do all or any part of the work comprised in such contractors contract with the employer, the said principal shall be liable to pay to any workman employed in the execution of the work, any compensation under this act, which he would have been liable to pay if that workman had been immediately employed by him; and where compensation is claimed from the principal, then reference to the principal shall be substituted for reference to the employer, except the amount of compensation shall be calculated with reference to the earnings of the workman under the contractor or employer by whom he is immediately employed. Where such principal is liable to pay compensation he shall be entitled to be indemnified by any person who would have been liable to pay compensation to the workman independently of this section. Nothing in this section shall be construed as preventing a workman from recovering compensation under this act, from the contractor or subcontractor, instead of the principal; nor shall this section apply in any case where the accident shall occur elsewhere than on or in or about the premises on which the principal has undertaken to execute the work or which are otherwise under his control or management. |

in any case where the accident shall occur elsewhere than on or in or about the premises on which the principal has undertaken to execute the work or which are otherwise under his control or management. Sec. 11. Nothing in this act contained shall be held or deemed to require any workman or his personal representatives to proceed under its terms and provisions for the recovery of compensation of damages for death or accidental injury. But if the workman or his personal representatives shall so elect, he or they may disregard the provisions of this act and may pursue any other remedy at law for the recovery of such compensation of damages for or on account of such death or injury. The right of election or choice of remedies shall be exercised solely by such workman or his representatives. Sec. 12. A claim for compensation for the injury or death of any employee or any reward or judgment entered thereon shall be entitled to a preference over the other debts of the employer if and to the same extent as the wages of such employee shall be so preferred, but this section shall not impair the lien of any judgment entered upon any award. Sec. 13. The making of a lawful claim against an employer for compensation under this act for the injury or death of his employee shall operate as an assignment of any assignable cause of action in tort which the employee or his personal representative may have against any other party for such injury or death, and such employer may enforce in his own name the liability of such other party. Sec. 14. Nothing in this act contained shall be construed as impairing the right of parties interested after the injury or death of an employee to compromise or settle upon such terms as they may agree upon any liability which may be claimed to exist under this act on account of such injury or death, nor as conferring upon the dependents of any injured employee any interest which he may not divert by such settlement or for which he or his estate shall in the event of such settlement by him be accountable to such dependents or any of them. Sec. 15. This act shall take effect July 1, 1911. |

And if parent, parents, guardian or custodian consent thereto, or if the court shall further find that the parent, parents, guardian or custodian of such child are unfit or improper guardians or are unable or unwilling to care for, protect, train, educate, correct or discipline such child and that it is for the interest of such child and other people of this state that such child be taken from the custody of its parents, custodian or guardian, the court may make an order appointing as guardian of the person of such child, some reputable citizen of good moral character, and order such guardian to place such child in some suitable family, home or other suitable place which such guardian may provide for such child, or the court may enter an order committing such child to some suitable state institution, of this or any other state organized for the care of dependent or neglected children, or to some training or industrial school or childrens home-finding society of this or any other state, or to some association embracing in its objects the purpose of caring for or obtaining homes for neglected or dependent children, which association shall have been accredited as hereinbefore provided. Sec. 4. Section nine of said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 9. Delinquent Children. If the court shall find any child under the age of eighteen years to be delinquent within the meaning of this act, the court may allow such child to remain at its own home subject to the friendly visitation of a probation officer, such child to report to the court or probation officer with such record of its conduct in its home or school as the court may require as often as may be required, and if the parents, parent, guardian or custodian consent thereto or if the court shall further find either that the parent, parents, guardian or custodian are unfit or improper guardians or are unable or unwilling to care for, protect, educate, or discipline such child, and shall further find that the parent, parents, guardian or custodian are unfit or improper guardians or are unable or unwilling to care for, protect, educate or discipline such child, and shall further find that it is for the interest of such child and other people of this state that such child be taken from the custody of its parents, parent, custodian or guardian, the court may appoint some proper person or probation officer, guardian over the person of such child and permit it to remain at its home or order such guardian to cause such child to be placed in a suitable family home, or cause it to be boarded out in some suitable home, in case provision is made by voluntary contribution or otherwise for the payment of the board; or the court may commit such child to any institution incorporated under the laws of this or any other state to care for delinquent children, or to any institution that has been or may be provided by the state, county, city, town or village suitable for the care of delinquent children including a detention home or school, or to some association that will receive it, embracing in its objects the care of neglected, dependent or delinquent children and which has been duly accredited as hereinbefore provided. |

may commit such child to any institution incorporated under the laws of this or any other state to care for delinquent children, or to any institution that has been or may be provided by the state, county, city, town or village suitable for the care of delinquent children including a detention home or school, or to some association that will receive it, embracing in its objects the care of neglected, dependent or delinquent children and which has been duly accredited as hereinbefore provided. In every case where such child is committed to an institution or association, the court shall appoint the president, secretary or superintendent of such institution or association, guardian over the person of such child, and shall order such guardian to place such child in such institution or with such association, whereof he is such officer, and to hold such child, care for, train and educate it subject to the rules and laws that may be in force, from time to time governing such institution or association. Sec. 5. Section ten of said act shall be amended to read as follows: Sec. 10. The court may, in its discretion, in any case of a delinquent child permit such child to be proceeded against in accordance with the laws that may be enforced in the state governing the commission of crimes or violation of city, village or town ordinances; in such case the petition filed under this act shall be dismissed. Whenever any person over the age of eighteen years and under the age of twenty-one years is accused of a felony, and the indictment or information has been filed in the district court of the county wherein the crime was committed, charging said person with the commission of said felony, the judge may, in his discretion, with the consent of the accused, or upon his request, arrest said proceeding at the time of the arraignment or at any time previous to the impanelment of the jury, except where the crime charged is a capital offense or an attempt to commit a capital offense, and may proceed to investigate the charge against the defendant, and all the facts and circumstances necessary to determine the proper disposition to be made of said person, and shall determine whether said person shall be dealt with as a delinquent under the provisions of this act. If the court is satisfied upon such investigation that said person should be declared a delinquent and should be dealt with under this act, it may make such order as herein provided for the disposition of delinquent children. If such person thereafter proves not to be amenable to the discipline of the school to which he may be committed, and the trustees thereof shall determine that said person should be committed to a state penitentiary, such person should be returned to the custody of the sheriff of the county in which such crime was committed, and thereafter proceedings shall be had upon the indictment or information commencing at the point at which proceedings were arrested; and said person shall be tried for the offense alleged in the information, and if convicted shall be sent to the penitentiary for such time as the court may determine, or otherwise dealt with in accordance with the law for dealing with persons convicted of a felony. |

were arrested; and said person shall be tried for the offense alleged in the information, and if convicted shall be sent to the penitentiary for such time as the court may determine, or otherwise dealt with in accordance with the law for dealing with persons convicted of a felony. If no request is made by the defendant for proceedings under this statute, or if the defendant desires a trial by jury, or if the judge declines to consent to the application of the defendant for proceedings under this statute, said cause shall proceed in the ordinary manner up to the verdict of guilty or not guilty, as the case may be. If said person is convicted, the court may thereafter receive such evidence as may be offered, touching the question as to whether or not said person shall be dealt with as a delinquent in the manner hereinbefore provided in the case of the application and consent of the accused before trial, and may make such order of probation or commitment to said state schools, and may from time to time modify said probation order, as is herein provided in the case of children adjudged delinquent. If such person during the period of his commitment to said state institution, proves to be incorrigible or not amenable to the discipline of such institution, and it shall be deemed advisable in the judgment of the trustees of such institution that said person be sent to the penitentiary, then said person shall be returned to the district court in which the verdict was rendered, for sentence, and thereupon the court shall pronounce judgment. Sec. 6. Section fourteen of said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 14. Transfers from Justice and Police Magistrates. When in any county where a court is held as provided in section 2 of this act, any child under the age of eighteen years is arrested with or without warrant, such child may, instead of being taken before a justice of the peace or police magistrate, be taken directly before such court; or if the child is taken before the justice of the peace or police magistrate, such justice or magistrate shall inquire into such case, and unless he be of the opinion that no sufficient foundation exists for the charge of dependency or delinquency, it shall be the duty of such justice of the peace or police magistrate to transfer the case to district court, and the officer having the child in charge take the child before such court, and in any case the district court may proceed to hear and dispose of the case in the same manner as if the child had been brought before the court upon petition as herein provided. In any case the court shall require notice to be given and investigation shall be made as in other cases under this act, and may adjourn the hearing from time to time for that purpose. Sec. 7. Section fifteen of said act is hereby amended to read as follows: Section 15. Children Under Twelve Years Not To Be Committed to Jail. No court or magistrate shall commit a child under twelve years of age to a jail or police station, but if such child is unable to give bail it may be committed to the care of the sheriff, police officer, or probation officer, who shall keep such child in some suitable place provided by the city or county outside of the enclosure of any jail or police station. |

When any child shall be sentenced to confinement in any institution to which adult convicts are sentenced, it shall be unlawful to confine such child within the same building with such adult convict, or to confine such child in the same yard or enclosure with such adult convicts, or to bring such child into any yard or building in which adult convicts may be present. In counties of over ten thousand population the county commissioners of each of said counties are authorized and required without unreasonable delay to provide, furnish and maintain at public expense a building suitable and adequate for the purpose of a detention home located at the county-seat of each of said counties, for the detention of the dependent and delinquent children and wherein all children within the provisions of this act shall, when necessary, before or after trial, be detained, either for securing the attendance of such children at any hearing or trial or when under order of probation for the best interests of said child and of the state. Such detention home shall be under the supervision of a matron who with other necessary employees shall be appointed by the judge or judges of the district court on the nomination of the probation committee, and their salaries shall be fixed by the judge or judges of the district court of the county, and such employees shall hold their positions during the pleasure of the judge or judges of their county. Such detention home shall be conducted as nearly like a home as possible, and shall not be deemed to be, or treated as a penal institution. Whenever, in the discretion of the district judge or judges and probation officer, it becomes necessary to provide a superintendent or other male attendant at such detention home, the district judge or judges shall make such appointment, which appointee shall be deputized as, and clothed with the authority of, a probation officer, and it shall be the duty of the county commissioners to provide for the payment of all salaries and expenses occasioned thereby. Any child within the provisions of this act, informed against or regarding which a petition had been filed, or for any purpose taken into custody, shall, at any time before it is tried and adjudged to be delinquent, be entitled, by any friend or parent offering sufficient surety, to give bond or other security for its appearance at any hearing or trial of such case as such right is given to persons informed against the crime; and the court may in any case, upon the request of said child, or parent representing it, appoint counsel to appear on behalf of any such child, such counsel to receive no pay from the county. |

Sec. 5. The third member of the board shall attend all the semiannual meetings of the board, and such other meetings as may be called by the president, and consult and advise with the board whenever called upon so to do. He shall receive for each days attendance at a meeting of the board the sum of twenty dollars and for his necessary traveling expenses. Sec. 6. The local health officer in each county shall act as a collector of vital statistics and is empowered to appoint such deputy or deputies as may be necessary with the approval of the board of county commissioners. For collecting and compiling the vital statistics of the county he shall receive from the county a sum not less than twenty-five dollars per month, and the board of county commissioners are directed to allow a claim for this or for such greater sum as they may deem proper for the work performed; the deputies appointed by the local health officer with the approval of the county commissioners, shall be paid in the same manner a sum not to exceed twenty-five dollars per month, for registering and compiling the data prescribed by the state board of health and by this act.

Indefinite and unsatisfactory terms, indicating only symptoms of disease or conditions resulting from disease, will not be held sufficient for issuing a burial or removal permit; and any certificate containing only such terms as defined by the state board of health shall be returned to the physician for correction and more definite statement. Cause of death, which may be the result of either disease or violence, shall be carefully defined; and if from violence, the means of injury shall be stated, and whether (probably) accidental, suicidal, or homicidal.

He shall inform all health officers what diseases are to be considered as infectious, contagious, or communicable and dangerous to the public health, as decided by the state board of health, in order that when deaths occur from such diseases proper precautions may be taken to prevent the spreading of dangerous diseases. Sec. 19. That it shall be the duty of the local health officer to supply blank forms of certificates to such persons as require them. Each local health officer shall carefully examine each certificate of birth or death when presented for record, to see that it has been made out in accordance with the provisions of this act and the instructions of the state board of health; and if any certificate of death is incomplete or unsatisfactory, it shall be his duty to call attention to the defects in the return, and to withhold issuing the burial or removal permit until they are corrected. If the certificate of death is properly executed and complete, he shall then issue a burial or removal permit to the undertaker; provided, that in case the death occurred from some disease that is held by the state board of health to be infectious, contagious, or communicable and dangerous to the public health, no permit for the removal or other disposition of the body shall be granted by the local health officer, except under such conditions as may be prescribed by the state board of health. If a certificate of birth is incomplete, he shall immediately notify the informant, and require him to supply the missing items if they can be obtained. He shall then number consecutively the certificates of birth and death, in two separate series, beginning with the number 1 for the first birth and the first death in each calendar year, and sign his name as health officer, in attest of the date of filing in his office. He shall also make a complete and accurate copy of each birth and death certificate registered by him in a record book supplied by the state board of health to be permanently preserved in his office as the local record, in such manner as directed by the state board of health. And he shall, on the tenth day of each month, transmit to the state board of health, all original certificates registered by him during the preceding month. And if no births or deaths occurred in any month, he shall, on the tenth day the following month, report that fact to the state board of health, on a card provided for this purpose. Sec. 20.
