It is unlawful for a school director to have pecuniary benefit in any way in connection with "the erection of school houses, or for the winning, ven tilating, furnishing or repairing the same, or to accept or receive any com pensation for his services rendered as 8 member bf the board," points out At torney General Brown ni an opinion giv en to I'red E. Schmidt, district attorney at Pendleton. District Attorney Schmidt cited two instances to tho attorney general. In one case he 14-year-old daughter of a school director was acting as janitor ef the school building and receiving a compensation for the work.
