Capt. c. J. Barstow, Presiden,
Police Jury, Dear Sir: The title to
the "Public School Property" in
Alexandria is in the Board of School
Directors, of this Parish. 1t has
never been transferred to the Parish.
The Police Jury, therefore, is not the
custodian thereof, nor in any way re-
sponsible therefore. | very much
doubt if any responsibility ever die
rest with it; but if such was thu
case, Sec. Z, of Act. 81, of 1888
settles the matter by expressly pro
viding that the "School Board!
may receive land by purchase or do
= nation for the purpose Of erecting
school-houses, provide for and secur'
the erection of some, construct sucl
outbuildings and enclosures as shall
be conducive to the protection Of th'
property, make repairs and provide
the necessary furniture and ap
paratua y &p
Ibis certainly fixes the custodian
snip and repairs of the property il
question on the School Directors O
this Parish. The title being ther,
also, I conclude that the Parish ba
no legal responsibility for either tn,
preservation or repair Of said prop
erty.
