 Nothing could more unthinkable than the assumption school district could be made to retain school site that could no longer use for school purposes, and intended that il should be so bound, the deed would have con tained a reversion clause The words, school pur- poses" are merely descriptive and dc not limit the, lee of the grantee as does the deed by which the.

The tolerance of the people of Phoenix may be attributed to it's inexpe- rence in such matters. Though the public has been patient far. it will stand much more haggling hanging by either party, the presenting of unreasonable demands the denying of reasonable requests.
