STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
    [Franklin Circuit Court.]
    Becker et al. v. Columbus (City.)
    Boards of Education may Sign Petitions for Street Improvement.
    Boards of education are owners of property within the meaning of the street improvement laws and have the right to sign petitions for improvements.
   Per Curiam.

Suit to enjoin the city from proceeding with the improvement of Pearl street, from Schiller street to Stewart avenue in that city. They raised the point that the board of education had no right to sign for improvements on the ground that they are not owners of property. Without their signatures a majority of feet front would not have been represented on the petition. The court held that the board has the right to sign petitions for improvements, as they have power to acquire, hold, possess and dispose of property, and they are owners of property within the meaning of thé law.
