State Ex Rel. Consolidated School District No. 5 v. Smith

LEEDY, J.-

This is an original proceeding in mandamus to compel the State Auditor to register and certify Bond No. 1 of a series of building bonds, aggregating $55,000.00, issued by relator district, which claims to be a consolidated school district. The Auditor denied registration for the sole reason that the district was not legally organized. Such is the limited issue presented by this proceeding on the question of the right to registration, although other grounds, addressed to the court’s discretion, are assigned by respondent for the refusal of the peremptory writ.

The facts are agreed.…
