a letter to the 300 consolidated school
district committees in the ninety
three counties of the state, explain
ing, In succinct form, what the law
provides, and that the boundaries fix
ed by tlie committee do not become
operative 'until the voters so declare.
The letter is:
"To the school redisricting com
mittees of Nebraska:
"Since there seems to be consider
able misunderstanding relative to the
provisions of the new rcdistricting
law, regarding the vote on the ques
tion of the formation of n new con
solidated district, I desire to herewith
give the opinion of this department
on this matter. ,
"There arc always two ways by
which consolidation may be effected
under this law. One way applies to
an open country consolidation, and
the other to a consolidation around an
'organized consolidated or high school
district.'
"To effect a consolidation around
an 'organized consolidated or high
school district it is necessary that
not less than'fifty-ono per cent of the
school electors in said new district,

ditioned, of course, upon the approval
of the board of education of said 'or
ganized consolidated or high school
district.'
"An open-country consolidation may
lie effected by the following proced
ure: twenty five per cent of the school
electors, living in any one of the pro
posed open country consolidate.!
school districts, must petition the coun
ty superintendent to call an election
for the purpose of voting on the pro
position. If a majority of the votes
cast at said election are in favor ot
the establishment of the proposed con
solidated district, the county supei
inter.dent shall declare the proposed
district duly established.
"I)y way of further explanation 1
wish to say that the fifty-one pjt
cent petition plan of consolidation ap
plies only when the proposed consol
idated district comprises nn existing
'organized consolidated orhigh schod
district.'
"The language of the new red: st
riding law no doubt is somewhat am
biguous, but I'have satisfied myolf
by careful investigation that the abivc
interpretation represents the intan-
lion of the law makers when the bill
was passed.
"Kctnember that tin's law does not.
force or compel consolidation. It nn re
ly establishes boundaries which will
not become operative until the voters
cf a proposed consolidated district de
cide by the plan, which applies to tlcm
as indicated herein, that they want
consolidation.

given the widest publicity possib'c."

fled It off for the benefit of a hospital.
