' ' S HELD TO M District Responsible for War ' rants Aggregating Near ly $18,000 In reply to an Inquiry, by J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools. Attorney General Van Winkle has .written an opinion holding that. the Woodburn school district is alone obligated to pay warrants in the sum of $18,401.95 issued by the so-called Woodburn union high 'school' district, . which after it had operated for about a year, was held to have been il legally; organized. An" exception is the money owed for transporta tion of pupils. '7 During the. year, and. pending the. receipt of the tax money,' the warrants were issued, but their payment was held up -by a court decree, holding the district to have been ; organized illegally. The Woodburn' district is held respon sible for the payment, according to the opinion, because it Ls found to be the only one of the several districts making up the so-called union district that fa-prbperry" o?- granlxed. It is the only district that, under the law, can " be held for the warrants. " ' , On the other hand and for the same reason." the Woodburn dis trict ' la entitled ' to the f ultionf ees collected from students outside the union district, and. also has the right' to collect from, the county high school tuition fund for all students 'attending the union school from outside the Woodburn district. The opinion states that; indebtedness between $3,000 and $4,000 for the conveyance of pu pils to the union high school must be ' paid' by " the "districts" from which the pupils came. This' is part of the $18,401.95. In an opinion , to T. S.
