discus discussion siou replying to the oral inquiry of a member of your board as to whether or not where a notice had been published inviting bids to build a specified schoolhouse twentieth and bids had been received the board might under the statute let a contrast cont rapt on one of those bids for another schoolhouse to be built on a different site but of the same size and upon the same plans lans and specifics ions we have to in M that in our opinion the he anten tic tion is that hat I 1 the board shall advy advertise a 6 use ti for each and every schoolhouse proposed to be built and that letting a contract in the t instance suggested would be a violation viol aion of the provision of the statute we are however of the opinion that this provision is directory merely and designed for the purpose of affording an opportunity to obtain the most moat favorable bid however if the school board should build a house without letting a contract or in the manner proposed by iryne still think the construction would LU be legal and that the expenditure for the schoolhouse would not be sub subject atile set to legal objection in other words while the object ol of the statute is obvious it would not preclude the school board from building a schoolhouse if no biawas offered satisfactory or none whatever were made WILLIAMS BILLS APPROVED following bills were approved approve herald company

opinion of may may 16 1892 we may state that when this matter was brought to our attention by mr baldwin it was stated that it was the desire of the board to have an opinion w whether heither at the present time it was probable that any person would question the title of the board to this yand it was answering that question that the opinion of may 16 1892 was written while there are technical defects defect as in the opinion of october 11 1899 yet we are of the 0 opinion 1 n ion that the only substantial defect defeat if T it t be considered one is that stated in in the opinion of may 16 1892 WILLIAMS VAN COTT mr van cott being present explained that there were legal defects in the title and it was doubtful whether they could be remedied the all important porta nt question was whether or not the had any heirs under disability another serious defect was that the ecclesiastical board of the eleventh ward did not possess the power to transfer the property as they only held it in trust for the members at large the rho only way to secure a perfect title was to commence suit against all the members of that ward 0 |
