expended for the maintenance of In
dependent school district No. / dur
ing the ical year 1915 was $2S,687;
Seventh. That the amount of mon
ey expended by the board OF trustees
OF said Independent school district
No. l for the maintenance Of that &c
ton of said Independent school dis
trict No. / which said petition prays
be cut of OF said Independent school
district No. /, amounts approximately
to 81, 977.75 for the fiscal year OF 1915;
Eighth. That the petition praying

| district No. / OF Power county, Idaho
now under consideration by this board
does not contain the names Of twenty
| five per zen Of the heads OF families
and residents OF said Independent
school district No. l OF Power county, |
Idaho.
From the foregoing findings of facts,
and after being fully advised as to
the law pertaining to the division of
independent school districts, the board
of county commissioners Of Power
county concludes:
First. That said petition now un-
der consideration Is not In proper
form containing an insufficient num-
Der OF signers to authorize the board
Of county commissioners of Power
county, Idaho, to call an election In
said Independent school district No.
1, of Power county, Idaho, should be
80 divided and therefore that the
board OF county commissioners has
no jurisdiction;
Second. That even should the laws
OF the state of Idaho be so construed
as to vest the board Of county COM
missioners with jurisdiction to make
a division of Independent school dis
trict No. l OF Power county, Idaho,
without submitting the question to
the electors of said Independent school
district No. 1, the foregoing facts show
conclusively that the demands Of said
petition together with the map on file
with said petition are so out of pro-
portion, unjust and negotiable that
the board Of county commissioners Of
Power county, Idaho, must In the ex-
ercise OF its discretion refuse said de-
mand.
Wherefore be 1t ordered hat the pc
tition filed In the office OF the board
OF county commissioners of Power
county, Idaho, on the 10th day OF June
A. ID. 1916, praying for a division of
Independent school district No. l OF
