An attempt to prevent consolida-
ton Of five school districts in Aitkin
county failed today when the supreme
court decided in favor of those wish
ing the consolidation.
j. H. Anderson and others in the
county obtained an Injunction pre-
venting Peter Anderson and other
trustees from consolidatingithe school
and issuing $4,000 worth of bonds.
They argued that the petition for con-
solidation did not have the required
number of fceeholders' names at
tached to it.
The supreme court holds that the
opponents Of consolidation did not in
woke the right of appeal to the dis
trict court, and have no right to test
the validity of the new school corpor-
alton in the supreme court. The pro-
ceedings should have been. brought by
the attorney general in quo warranto
