Annotations
This section prescribes a maximum rate for printing legal notices, and it is the rate to be charged in the absence of a specific agreement for a lower rate. Wisner v. Morrill County, 117 Neb. 324, 220 N.W. 280 (1928).
The first subdivision of this section, prior to its amendment in 1921, governed the computation of fees for publishing the notice of suit and list of lands necessary to an action under the scavenger law. Bee Publishing Co. v. Douglas County, 78 Neb. 244, 110 N.W. 624 (1907).
A printer is not required to charge the full legal rate prescribed by the statute, and if a printer charges less than the full legal rate for printing a notice of sale in a foreclosure action, that is the amount which the sheriff may charge as costs in the case. Phoenix Ins. Co. v. McEvony, 52 Neb. 566, 72 N.W. 956 (1897).
