Dear Sir: - You ask my opinion as to
the proper course To be pursued by you
in relation to the publication IF the school
laws passed at the late session Of the Gen.
eral Assembly.
That act is ''to take effect and be in
force from and after its publication 1t is
made your du y. by the l5ih seclian.fthe
act, to have copies Of that and certain
other acts "printed and distributed among
the several fund colnmi-s ioners f,,r tn
use of the several school districts in their
county,
The only question which Immediately
int, ests you Is, whether the printing and
distribution required of you is the "pnb.
licationp which is to give the law force
and effect; clearly NOT The Ia i. TO be
distributed 10y ynu to the fund commits
sioners. These ,fficers are created BY
this very schoaI law You cannot d,sirit,-
ute these laws until fund commissioner
are elected. They canno, be elected un-
til The law takes effect; and ,helaw cannot
take effect until such distribution is m de
Such construction would, therefore
involve an inapossibility The law would
never take effect. do not therefore sup
pose it will be necessary for you To have
the law printed and distributed sonner
than suits your convenience. You CANNOT
do SO priur 10 the township election in
April next. Yours Truly,
CHARLES MAON.
