Texas Supreme Court
Original application to the Supreme Court by the City of Rock-dale and others, for writ of mandamus against C. M. Cureton, as Attorney-General, requiring his approval of bonds issued for school purposes.
1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Phillips
Prior to 1918, the City of Rockdale, incorporated under the general laws, had assumed the control of its public schools. The effect of this action was to constitute it, for school purposes, an independent school district. Article 2871.
It has never extended its city boundaries, for school purposes.
In 1918, at an election held under Article 925 as amended by the Act of October 10, 1917, the issuance of the city’s school bonds, with the proper tax, in the amount of $75,000 for the purpose of erecting and equiping public school buildings and purchasing sites therefor, was duly authorized.
