SCHOOLS.

Obligatory upon city school authorities to provide a proper building for county high school.

OPINION

{*108} I am in receipt of your letter of the 13th inst., asking for the opinion of this office as to whether the city school board can use any surplus money of the city school funds for the purpose of building an addition to the school house which is used for county high school purposes.

By Sec. 8 of Chap. 57 of the Laws of 1912, it is provided that the erection and cost of a building to be used as a county high school shall be borne by the district where such high school is established, and I can see no objection whatever to the using of city school funds for the building of an addition to the present school house; in fact, it would seem to be obligatory upon the city school authorities to provide a proper building for the county high school.

 You are being directed to the most recent version of the statute which may not be the version considered at the time of the judgment.
