Morning Appeal in Carson City, Nevada

Nevada Supreme Court decision on Walker Lake toll road lease

In 1881 82 the petitioner built the Walker Lake and Bodie toll road in Esmeralda County and operated it until a recent period. The county board granted a five year lease to Southern Development Co starting Jan 1 1900 but later rescinded. The petitioner seeks certiorari to bar the rescission, arguing the board acted judicially. the court finds the October 1 1900 order was not a judicial act and cannot be reviewed by writ of certiorari.
