Juab County, Utah, Friday, May 4. 1928. The Times, Vol. 18, No. 18. Many Tourists To FAVOR Visit Utah 928 JUDGE RENDERS DECISION 1 OF JUAB COUNTY Statute of State Requires The Presentation of Claims To County Auditor Before A Suit May Be Brought X1 That the statute of Utah reqiur-inthe presentation of claims against counties to the County for Auditor .and Commissioners audit and allowance before suit may be brought is a mandatory statute and that no suit can be brought against a county until after a claim has been duly presented for allow ance or rejection was held by Judge Thos. H. Burton in a sweep ing decision in the Fifth District Court this week. The question was raised by Attorney Will L. Hoyt counsel for defendant in the case of John E. Aagard plaintiff vs. Juab County defendant in which the plaintiff is suing for some $2500.00 damages tor tne construction or a public highway across plaintiff's land. Counsel for the defendant raised the objection that it affirmatively appeared by the pleadings in the case that no claim for damages had ever been presented to the County Auditor or Board of County Commissioners and that more than six years had elapsed since the con struction of the highway referred to. Attorney A. W. Jensen of Ephraim counsel for plaintiff argued that the statute requiring that Every claim against the county must be presented to the County Auditor within a year after the last item of the account or claim accrued" applied only to claims arising out of contracts and contended that it was unnecessary for plaintiff to show presentation of his claim for damages for construction of the highway complained of. Counsel for defendant however, contended that the statute in question included all claims again st the county and further maintain ed that if the plaintiff's action was an action of trespass instead of an action on implied contract, then the case could not be maintained against Juab County since the county is subdivision of the State, and cannot be used in tort. Since the question raised in this case is involved in other actions against Juab County and is also of considerable importance to all counties of the State Judge Burton filed a written opinion in which he discussed at some length the statutes of the State bearing upon the point and also the decisions of other (Continued on page eight.) g That Utah will be visited this season by more tourists than ever before, is the prediction made by C. E. McStay, field secretary of the Automobile club of Southern California, following an extensive tour of eastern and middle western states. He says that Eastern tourists will flock to western playrounds by the thousands and in this movement Utah and California will share abundantly. The outlook for a busy year is therefore promising, and the people throughout the state should do all in their power to have things in a very attractive and presentable manner. The one way to get me tourists to stop in a town and spend some money, is to have every thing neat and attractive. So it is with the individual places that serve the traveling public. Mr. McStay was in Nephi the first of the week ,on his way to his While here home in Los Angeles. he spent a short time visiting with several business men of the com munity. Nephite Writes x i nr un l ax roDiem r -- 1 Mr Los Angeles, April 28. William Bailey of Nephi, Utah, ex president of the National Tax assocl. atlon, has written an interesting article on the public domain for THE TAX DIGEST, official publication of California Taxpayers' association. Mr. Bailey points out that, in the eleven western states, the public domain enbraces over 195,000,000 acres of land. He discusses four possibilities of what to do with this public domain: first, he considers whether the government should turn these lands over to the states; second whether the government should sell them in la.rge tracts at whatever price they will bring; third, whether the government should lease the lands in large tracts; or fourth, whether the government should set them aside, improve them, and hand le them much the same as the nation al forests are handled at the present time. "The public SayB Mr. Bailey: lands must be controlled, and that at once, if they are to be saved from absolute ruin, but the best method to control them is still a problem that might well be further considered. The public is thinking deeply upon this question and, when the Amer ican people think about a problem have it is not long before they solved it."
