The question of altering school district
boundaries often arises. A brief explana
tion of the law is not out of place here.
Sec. 19, Paragraph 1, Oregon School
Law, reads in part, as follows: “The
superintendent and the county court, or
the board of commissioners in counties
where this board is a seperatebody, shall
constitute a board tor laying off the
county in commissioner school districts.
Such board to be styled the district
boundary board.
Such board shall
make alterations and changes when peti
tioned so to do, in the manner hereafter
specified,” etc. But here the law stops
and no manner of petitioning was speci
fied. Hence it has been decided that no
such changes can be made until the legis
lature specifies the manner of so doing.
