Raby, who claims the distinction OF
being 1872 years cid, and probably the
eldest living man in the country. is
rapidly sinking and is likely to die at
any time.
For several months, according to
Mrs, Hummer. matron of the Piscata-
way poor farm, where Raby is an in
mate. the old man has been gradually
weakening and able to leave his bed
only for short time.
His memory is almost entirely gone
and when he talks he does so in a
rambling and incoherent manner. Be
cause of his cnfeebement he is scarce
ly able to take nourishment, except in
small quantities.
Until a recent attack Of measles he
had been in very good health and took
daily walks. He has smoked his pipe
regularly three times q day since he
was twenty years old but lately he has
been obliged to give up this pleasure.
He has been an irregular inmate of

selection by which of these two
methods they shall provide a suitable
building to carry out the scheme o.
consolidation. We're both or either
of these two questions placed before
the people for their choice by ballot
used which read 'providing suitable
buildlngsy Clearly not. Under
the ballot the board Of directors
might either erect a building, buy
a building or make additions to antohel
building already erected or in any
other way %"rrovide' the building.
The word ''provlde'' in this connec-
ton simply means ''get" which is
certainly a much more comprehen sive
term than erecting or ''making adj
ditions to- yet the two latter terms
fix the limit of authority reposed in
the board under the law, according to
the choice of the voters The phrase
used in the ballot "for two central
schools cannot from any point Of
view be claimed as equivalent of or
substantially the same in meaning as
the phrase "to accommodate the
pupils of schools to be erected,
which later is the phraseiology Of the
ballot as prescribed by the law and
such phraseology when prescribed bv
law must be strictly followed in
substance at least.
Although the question of the selec-
ton OF particular site in each of the
villages named is not of Importance
in the decision Of this case, l am Of
the opinion that under the ballot re-
ferred to the board should advertise
for a site after deciding upon the
nature of site suitable for the pur-
pose and that the board should adver-
tise for bids. In other words l think
that the provisions Of R. c. u apply
to the purchase Of a site for a school
under the circumstances shown in this
case, even if the election had been
valid. The board should also obtain
title to the site for school purposes
before erecting buildings upon it or
removing school buildings to it and
placing them thereon as part of the
real estate. Without this precaution
1t is plain to be seer that a school
building might be erected upon lands
OF another the title to which for school
purposes the owner might refuse to
convey and even under the law of emf
nent domain could not be compelled
to convey, or which might not be de-
silable to the board or the people in
case damages were assessed too high
in the proceedings to cond emn the site.
All Of these continge ncies should in
my judgment be guarded against be-
fore school buildings are placed upon
any site. ! merely mention trese
matters that they may not prove
stumbling blocks in future proceedings
of this board.

township who voted upon that sub

township who voted upon that sub
ject at the election held is void.
1t should further be noticed that
while the ballot presented by the
pleadings reads for the establishment
and maintenance of a graded school,
and a high school when necessary, at
Webster and Garske villages by the
adjacent school districts Of Webster
and Freshwater,' it only aims to pro-
vide for "a suitable building for said
joint graded school on the townsite of
Webster township sc that the loca-
ton of the %"joint graded school," as
shown by the ballot was very nicer
tain to say the least and while the
ballot purports to establish two grad
ed schools in Webster township it
only provides a building for one on
the ''townsite Of Webster township"
So far as the ballots used at said
election relate to the subjects that the
law allows a vote upon as set forth in
1, 2, 3 and 4 above l am satisfied that
it does not conform to the require
ments of the law in any of its pro-
positions.
Point 1. The law allowed the vot-
ers to vote upon consolidating two or
more common schools the word
consolidating as defined by all
writer's and as understood in law
means more than rear1anging or re-
dividing. Now the ballot used did
not call for consolidating the schools
of the district but merely calls for
rearranging them at the most. This
was not consolidation A vote for
consolidating the common schools
Of Webster township would be a vote
for placing the common schools of
Webster township in one body, that is
at one place. Not at two places.
Point 2.-The ballot called or
selecting two sites The law allowed
the selection of only one site. In
other words the law requires a vote
upon consolidating, and not upon re-
arranging.
Point 3.-The law requires a vote
to be taken upon erecting a suitable
building to accommodate the pupils Of
schools to be vacated The PROPOSE
tion submitted by the ballot was
providing suitable buildings for two
central schools"
No stretch of imagination or jug
Cling Of the English language can
lead to the conclusion that the two
propositions are synonymous or even
substantially alike in their meaning.
Point 4.-The law requires a vote
to be taken upon .''making suitable
additions to buildings already erected
to accommodate the pupils of schools
to be vacated Instead of this the
proposition submitted in the ballot
was "providine suitable buildings for
two central schools" and the criti-
cism as to the meaning of the two pro-
positions involved in my reference to
Point 8 applies with equal force to
this point.
The law contemplates that the ques-
tion of "erecting a suitable building
or "making suitable additions to
buildings already erected shall be
submitted to the people for their
vote that they may make their

SCHOOL

Following is the text of the deci-
sion rendered by Judge Cowan in the
matter of perpetuating the injunction
granted in the school consolidation
case of Webster township:
State Of North Dakota, county Of
Ramsey.
In district court, Second judicial
district.
Peter Regan, plaintiff, VS.. Rasmus
Sorenson, Daniel Regain and CHARLES
Tufford, as the district school board of
Webster school township Of Ramsey
county, North Dakota. a corporation,
defendants.
Memorandum of decision.
IN the above entitled action after a
careful consideration and fully reali-
zing the Importance of the questions
involved, l, have decided that under
the law the injunctional order hereto,
fore granted should be continued in
force.
MY reasons for so deciding are as
follows. So far as this case is con
cerned the law, sec. 7O4 R. c. as
amended in 1903, allowed the electors
to vote upon the following questions
/. Consolidating two OF mole com
mon schools.
2. Selecting a site.
3. Erecting a suitable building to
accommodate the pupils of schools to
be vacated, or,
4. Making suitable additions to
buildings already erected to accommo-
date the pupils Of schools to be va
Gated.
It will be noticed that the law pro-
vides that numbers three and four
above are stated in the alternative SO
that it was perhaps only necessary to
submit one of these propositions to the
people at tie election.
In addition to voting upon the
questions above referred to under X.
G.. 7O4 as amended, there seems to
have been an attempt to vote upon the
question OF tine eSIdU1lsh"en' oAu
maintenance of district, high and
graded schools referred to IN 4. Z.
7O6 as amended in 1908. The latter
question as to the high and graded
schools requires but little attention as
an examination Of the law shows there
is no provision for calling an election
upon that question.
Sec. 7O6 R. G. 1899 as amended,
page 1o4, session laws of 1908 discleses
that the meeting of voters of the dis
trict shall be called to consider the
question as prescribed IN section 700
of..the revised codes of 1899, and Soc
tion 700 makes no reference whatever
to the subject of elections or meetings
Of voters, therefore no election or
meeting of the voters could be called
upon that question and consequently
