Aug. 3, 1907. An appeal was taken to
the state superintendent by plaintiffs,
ct al in Aug. 1907. The supernten-
dent reversed the orders of the town
board. Thereupon Fred Schuette, one
of the defendants, instituted a certior-
ari action in circuit court to test validi-
ty of the Superintendent decree and
it was finally adjudged to be void and
was set aside, on the ground that 1T
was not rendered within the time
limited therefor by the statutes.
That decision of the supreme court
left the orders of the town board as
they were made, neither affirming nor
reversing the same. The grounds re-
lied on for their annulment in the ac
ton set forth in the writ and petit
ton therefor are substantially as fol-
lows: That the town board failed to
authorize and give notice to school
clerks as required by law. AS stated
above the order of the town board
creating a new district has been set
aside by Judge Kirwan.
