Nevada, Aug 14-Judge Thompson.
Of Webster City. Monday morning filed
with the courts Of Story county his
opinion in the Gilbert consolidation
case and the consolidated distric, Is or
dered dissolved. This decision is made
upon an action tried before Judge
Thompson in an adjourned session held
Eere On July 6.
This decision is upon that section
of the consolidation aw which was
passed at a recent sessloa Of the .egis-
Ia in;e whic.: states SPECIFICALLY that in
t: e :crmation Of consolidated tist..ct
tue lines mug. be 50 drawn that NJ Sec
ton Of territory is LEFT III such form
that 1t may not DE organized into u
suitable independent district, having
a sufficient number Of squlc, miles ana
Of squl. e formation
In the case at Gilbert WHEN the new
consolidation was for ntt there was a
strip Of territory half milo il width
and four miles in length, along the
south part q Lafayette township, which
was left ont 0f the GiIbe.t consalid-,-
ton and !ny between the consolidation
there and of the district to the north.
In fact it was orphaned from all
school privileges with no one to adopt
it and take care Of the education Of the
children residing therein.
Must Provide For All.
The property owners and interested
patrons therein brought this action in
quo warranto to dissolve the new dis
trict that they might retain their own
school facilities and the court held with
them. The people Of Gilbert and adj
jacent territory, who are anxious for
consolidate privileges, will nov have
to in some manner care for their
stretch Of territory even tho it will
necessitate longer haul or make some
other equitable settlement of the grew
ance of these people.
The action was, an important one and
the first to be, started in the state up
on this question. However, since the
starting Of this case similar action
was argued before Judge Mccall, in
Hamilton county, and he dissolved the
district in Question.
