Chief Justice Ross has handed down
decision signed by every associate
Justice relating to money in the hands
of school district treasurers on April
1, 1892, that being the time of the
town system absorbing the district
system of schools. The case being the
town district of Barre VS.. certain old
school districts to recover certain
school moneys. The court held that
old school district officers were the
trustees of funds raised for specific
purposes, and that all school moneys
were trust funds. and that the chang
ing of the school law changed the
trustee, which should not impair and
in no wise affect the fund, and that the
changing of trusteeship gives no
license to divert funds into channels
other than the one for which such fund
was created, and that trustee who
so diverts. contrary to the specified
terms of the act creating the fund, is
held responsible for the trusteeship.
This is not the exact language of Judge
Ross decision but the substance. This
sort of high court talk needs no expla-
nation.
