Laws 1911, p. 266), which states: ‘Provided that any statement of facts filed before the time for filing the transcript in the appellate court expires shall be considered as having been filed within the time allowed by law for filing same.’ This would seem to be authority for us to consider a statement actually filed within 90 days; but here none has been filed.
