AGAINST THE GARLAND SITE
StaU Superintendent Barrett Handi Down
His Long-Expected Decision ,
'ADVERSE TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
Qnrntlnn of n. Locution fnr the Pro
poned Ncvr High School Building
Left In n AVorne Muddle
Than Before.
The ruling of State Superintendent Bar
rett in the appeal of T. L. Smith from the
action of the board of education in select
ing the Oakland avenue tract 03 the si to
for the proposed new high eohool building ,
was received here yesterday. It Is adverse
to the board of education and reverses the
ruling of County Superintendent Sawyer ,
who afUrmed the action of the school di
rectors. State Superintendent Barrett takes
the position that the Oakland avenue Bite
IB not centrally located and on this grqund
alone apparently , reverses the ruling of
Prof. Sawyer. The decision of State Super
intendent Barrett i na follows :
Declilnn In Fnll.
On the 17th of April , 1899 , the Board of
Directors of the Independent district of
Council Bluffs selected a certain piece of
property , known as the Oakland avenue
iUponi-whlchv crect a hK | > > school
building. From the order of the Wrd ap-
f.irt' ' , aplenlcud ? t ° ll'e county superin
tendent , who heard the case In regular
form , and on the 6th day of June , 1S99 , af
firmed the action of the board. Appellant
now appeals to the superintendent of pub-
iic instruction ,
From the record It appears that on the
second Monday In March. 1 ! > 99 , the follow
ing proposition submitted to the electors
'
" % ? ? ° i Dlrt * " > Issue bonds
of the district In the sum of JGo.OOO , the
proceeds ofthe sale of Which , or so much
thereof ns may be necessary , to be used in
the purchase of a site for and erection of
a new high school building , the now site to
'be ' selected 0 > y the Board of directors and
to bo as centrally located as In its Judg
ment possible , the old High school build
ing to be Used as a grade school bulldlnir
for the accommodation of such children as
can well attend there ? "
Section 2773 of the Code refers to the
powers of board of directors and contains
the following : "It may fix the site for
each school house , taking Into considera
tion the geographical position , number and
convenience of scholars. The power
to select n school house site Is vested
primarily in the Board of Directors and
this department has repeatedly held that
any attempt on the part of the electors to
designate the precise location of a school
house site would be unwarranted assump
tion of power. ' " ( See Hansel- against Mnl-
lory Township , School Law Decision of
18S8 , and Tompklns against Independent
District of Iveystone , School Law Decisions
or 1S97 * )
In his decision the county superintendent
refers to the above cited cases. The su
perintendent of public instruction was not ,
we think , seeking so much to emphasize
the point made above as he was to hold
that money voted for a specific purpose
must 'be ' used In accordance with the
wishes of the electors. Immediately fol
lowing the word "power" he says : "Never
theless , a vote to build a house In a cer
tain village or town plat , In connection
with the vote to appropriate money for
that purpose , we think so far concludes
the board as to location as to require the
selection of a site within such specified
limits. Any 'other holding would open the
way to 'fraud and deception. " "In our opin
ion it is evident the bonds wore voted with
tl > cLie35Eres lntent that tne Proceeds de-
rived therefrom should be in part used in
the purchase of a site , the same to be as
centrally located as In the unbiased Judg
ment of the board Is possible. While
Boards are clothed with large discretionary
authority In selecting sites their authority
should be exercised reasonably and with
great care and when bonds have been voted
oy electors and taxpayers to purchase n
centrallx-Iocated site the discretionary
power is to a great degree submerged by
that of the voters.
In the cose before us the electors did
not seek In any way to name the exact lo-
catloli Vn whlch fllloul'l be erected the
new building. Each elector who voted to
bonHrl" th 'fsuln of the necessarV

that the now bulldlnc would be erected

Did the ' judKiHcnt of the Judlvlduul mfin-

At the hearing before the county superin

to state whether or not the Oakland avenue

purpose of bringing out tile fact that he

It was centrally located to accommodate a
majority of the children , or 1m voted
against it because It wus not , we think the
county superintendent committed no error.
Inubniance the testimony of three
members is to the effect that the Oakland
avenue site 4s not central , and that the
central location Is near the Bloomer school ;
another tesUIUs that he voted against the
Oakland avenue stto "because I thought It

Judgment of nt least live of the seven
members of the board that the Oakland
avenue site Is not centrally located , or was
not chosen "according to the proposition
submitted to the people. "
With this view It IB unnecessary for us
to give the case further conilderatlon. We
are compelled to conclude that with this
evidence before him the county superin

The case Is therefore remanded with the
suggestion that the question of site bo

School Ilnnrd Surprised.
State Superintendent Barrett's ruling Is
a great disappointment and surprise to the
members of the school board and a largo
number of citizens who were anxious to eco
the school bulK on the slto selected by the
board. To the opponents of the Oakland
ayonue slto , although few of them expected
a reversal of County Superintendent Saw
yer's ruling , It was of course the occasion
of much rejoicing.
President Sims thought the ruling was
based on a mlsstatomont of the testimony.
Ho said :
"Tho language of the decision chows
clearly In my opinion thai Mr. Barrett had
a distorted view of the situation and the
facta. According to the decision tha board ,
It appear * , must ascertain tbo exact geographical
graphical center of the city and must then
locate the school there either by purchase
or condemnation , oven If the geographical
center should fall on the elto of the Grand
hotel or the Baldwin block. Mr. Barrett
bos In my opinion failed to take into con
sideration that wo nave a limited sum of
money at our disposal for the purchue of
a slto , also that many of the Rites pro
curable are not largo enough for such a
building as wo contemplate erecting. I am
In favor of applying for a rehearing , but
will suggest to the other members of the
board that the selection of the site bo now
left with the people of the district and
that a special election to determine the lo
cution of the school be held. This in my
opinion will bo the most satisfactory and
the falrcet manner of settling the question. "
sawyer' * VI MV .
To no one was the decision a greater sur
prise than to County Superintendent Sawyer ,
who , when aaked for a statement , said that
the position taken by the state superin
tendent overruled and reversed holdings of
flvo previous state departments. The hold
ings of state superintendents , ho eald , had
uniformly been In such cases that unless It
appeared that a board of school directors
had acted maliciously , the county superin
tendent had no right or authority to try
the merits of the case.
President Sims has called a special meetIng -
Ing of the board for tonight at the Bloomer
building , when future action will be deter
mined.
The ruling leaves the board In rather nn
embarrassing position , as the owners of the
Oakland avenue property declare that the
district has purchased the ground and taken
possession of It and that they Intend to bring
suit If necessary to get their money. Pres
ident Sims takes the position that the board
Is legally obliged to stand by the purchase
of the property , while others contend that
the purchase was only made conditionally.
There Is also a difference of opinion as to
whether the law permits of the electors of
the district determining the location of a
school site. It Is contended by some that
this right Is alone vested In the school
directors.

mitting the saloons to keep opan later

Its life by pausing a resolution to that effect
and filing it with the secretary of state. The

Dobson claimed It must pay a fee the same
as If a new company. In other words , Dob-
son claimed the company should pay a $7.15
fee , while it wanted to got off by paying

portant , as It means many thousands of dollars
lars to the state in the future.
