Show INJUNCTION , I DISSOLVED The temporary injunction procured pro-cured against the Jordan School Board to restrain them from advertising ad-vertising for bids for the construction construc-tion of the high school building at Copperton, was dismissed in Judge David Moffat's court last Monday. " The board was instructed instruc-ted that they might advertise for bids and apparently there is nothing noth-ing to prohibit the board from con structing the school building according ac-cording to their previous plans. A group of Bingham people circulated cir-culated petitions and solicited funds from the signers of the pe- tition with which to carry on a legal battle against allocating the hiigh school at Copperton, as proposed pro-posed by the Board. According to the ruling of the court, in the dissolution of the injunction in-junction it appears there is no further legal grounds on which to protest against the action of the board in this matter. The original notice, advertising for bids, was at the same time declared illegal by Judge Moffat because of the fact that the board in this notice limited the bonding of the contractor con-tractor to some firm or individual within the district, which limitation limita-tion whs declared improper. - Simultaneously with this decision deci-sion an opinion was rendered by the attorney general at the re-piest re-piest of Dr. C. X. Jensen, relative to the powers of school boards. This opinion, which related to school boards in Duchense county, declared that school boards mav in their discretion change the location lo-cation of schools from one precinct pre-cinct to another without consulting consult-ing their constituents, if in their judgment it is for the best interest inter-est of the school and in the promotion pro-motion of the best educational interest. in-terest. . ' " The opinion declared, in substance, sub-stance, that school boards could not be compelled to build sehool buildings, even when funds may be available for that: purpose, whene in their judgment, such buildings are not for the best interest in-terest f the district. |
