''274S. BY like proceedings, and up

holders of each district affected, quail
flied to vote at school meetings, the
boundaries of any existing district
may be changed, or two or more dis
tric.s consolidated, or one or more dis
tricts annexed to an existing district.
No change in the boundaries of dis
trict by organization of a new dis
trict, by detachment of land on petit
ton of the owner or owners, or other
wise shall be made, so as to leave the
old district without at least one
school house used for school purposes
and without at least four sections of
land if not consolidated district
and not less than II sections If a con-
solidated district, nor shall any
change of districts in any way affect
the liabilities of the territory so
changed upon any bond or other obli-
cation; but any such real estate shall
be taxed for such outstanding ia
bility and interest, as if no change
had been made. In case of the con-
solidation or annexation of districts,
whether under the foregoing or any
other provisions of the law, action
shall be brought by or against the
new or remaining district upon any
cause existing in favor of or against
any discontinued district, but a judg-
ment in such action against such eX-
listing district shall be satisfied only
from taxes upon the real property
included in the discontinued district,
when the liability was incurred.
Provided, that when any incor-
porated borough, village or city of
seven thousand or less inhabitants,
has within it's limits a school dis
trict, however organized, or is wholly
or partly included within the boun-
daries of any school district, however
or whenever any such
school district shall include within it's
boundaries part or the whole of any
borough, village or city
of seven thousand inhabitants or
less, the boundaries of any such dis
trict or districts may be enlarged or
changed so as to include all lands
within the corporate limits of such
borough, city or village or so as to IN
clude lands within and outside of such
incorporated borough, city, or village,
but contiguous to said district in the
following manner, to-wit:
Whenever a majority of the legal
&C
district and a majority of the legal
posed to be attached or annexed to
such school districts shall petition the
board of county commissioners of the
county wherein such district is stu
ated for an enlargement of such dis
trict, and shall file a petition with
the auditor of said county, it shall be
the duty of the board of county COM
missioners at its next regular meet
ing, or special meeting, to set a time
and place for hearing upon such petit
ton, and it shall cause a copy of the
notice of such hearing to be posted in
some public place in each district to
be affected by such proposed change,
and a copy thereof to be served upon
the clerk of each of said districts,
at least ten QO days before the time
for such hearing. The post
ing of such copy of notice shall be
proven by the affidavit of the person
posting the same; said affidavit shall
state the time and place of posting
and serving of the copy of notice as
herein specified, and upon filing proof
of the posting and serving of such
notice in the office of the county
the beard of county COM

fixed proceed with the considera-
ton Of such matter and shall hear all
evidence offered by any person in
terested, tending to show what ter
ritory should be included within such
district, and having heard the evil
dence they shall, if they find it con-
ducive to the good of the inhabitants
of the territory affected, proceed to
enlarge the said school district as
asked for in the petition, and to fix
the boundaries thereof and of all the
remaining school districts thereby af-
fected, attaching to or detaching con-
tiguous territory to or from any of
such districts, in such manner as in
their judgment the best interests of
the persons and districts thereby af-
fected may require; provided, that
no action or order changing any boun-
daries of any school district shall be
valid unless and until the foregoing
requirements as to posting and serv-
ing of notices have been observed;
and provided further, that whenever
the territory affected by any of the
foregoing proceedings lies in two or
more counties, like proceedings shall
be had in each county affected, and
no order in such proceedings shall be
valid unless concurred in by the coun-
ty board of all such counties affected.
At the time of making such division,
or change of boundaries.
the county commissioners shall ap-
portion to the district SO enlarged
that portion of the debts of said other
districts as may seem to them right
and proper, and said apportionment
when so made shall be binding upon
all the districts affected, and the
county commissioners may also ap-
portion to said districts so enlarged.
such portion of the property of such
other districts as shall seem to them
just and proper. Said last mentioned
apportionment shall be subject to re-
view by the district court:
And provided further, that any per-
son or officer of any school district
by any order of the county
board made pursuant to the provi-
sions of this section, may appeal to
