EVIDENCE - MUNICIPAL ORDINANCES - ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE OF ENACTMENT WHEN RECORD IS SILENT
Abstract
In a suit by a village to require the removal of the equipment of an electric distribution company from the streets of the village, the company sought to introduce in evidence a copy of a purported ordinance giving it a twenty-five year franchise. There was no mention of such an ordinance in the record of proceedings of the village council. Held, such evidence is not admissible to show the acts of a municipal council when the records of its proceedings are available. Village of Deshler v. Southern Nebraska Power Co., 133 Neb. 778, 277 N. W. 77 ( 1938).
