SCHOOL TAX OPINION.
Attorney General Bishop Answers Two Cues
tons for John R. Parks.

Attorney General Bishop advised
State Superintendent OF Public Instruc-
ton Park on the following auctions:
Can the board of education of a
city of the second class levy and col
lect taxes on property outside of the
corporate limits of the city, provided 1t
belonged to the city prior to 1896, and
has never been taken from 1t by the
county commissioners?
Second: Is property which was in
the school district at the time bonds
were issued by said district. but which
has since been detached therefrom, sub
ject to taxation for the purpose of pay
ing said bonds and interest thereon? '
Referring to your first question: -
says the attorney general, 81 am of
opinion that 1t should be answered in
the negative"
"As to your second question" says
Mr., Bishop. II am of opinion that such
property would be subject to taxation
for the purpose mentioned. During the
years In which said bonds were Issued
the statutory provisions respecting the
Issuance of bonds by school districts
made such bonds lien on all property
in the district issuing them"
