99 Kan. 185 | Kan. | 1916
The opinion of the court was delivered by
This is a mandamus proceeding to compel the registration of rural high school bonds.
At an election held on May 26, 1916, it was determined to establish Rantoul High School No. 2 of Franklin county under the provisions of chapter 311 of the Laws of 1915, and to issue $10,000 worth of bonds of the district for the construction of a high-school building. The officers of the district executed the bonds and presented them to the state auditor for registration, but he declined to register them upon the ground that the location of the building was not definitely stated as the statute requires. In the petition for the location, which set forth the boundaries of the district and the amount of the bonds proposed to be issued, it was stated that the high school was to be located “within or close to the village of Rantoul.”
Is the statement sufficient? The statute provides that an election to establish a rural high school district and to vote bonds for the construction of a school building shall be held
