Syllabus

<p>Schools and School Districts (21-1) — Acquisition and Use of Property — Teachees’ Dwellings — Statutes. Rem. Code, §§ 4481, 4486, 4493, 4532, 4538 and 4539 of the school code [Rem. Comp. Stat., §§ 4776, 4782, 4789, 4829, 4835 and 4836] do not give school districts of the third class any authority to erect dwellings for the use of school teachers.</p> <p>Same (21-1). Under the special act, Rem. Comp. Stat., §§ 4837— 4840, authorizing school districts of the second or third class to carry out the communal functions set forth in § 4837, one of which is “to provide suitable dwellings for teachers,” only school districts intending to carry out such functions are entitled to erect dwellings for school teachers. .</p> <p>Same (21-1). An allegation that a school district had erected a dwelling house for teachers in conformity with the communal district act [Rem. Comp. Stat., §§ 4837-4840] is sufficient, as against a general demurrer, to show that the district was attempting to come within the provisions of the law, and so was authorized to erect a dwelling for teachers.</p> <p>Same ('21-1). Rem. Comp. Stat., § 4839, of the communal school act, providing that the supervisors of a school district intending to assume the functions mentioned in Id., § 4837, including the power to erect dwellings for teachers, must approve the plans of any district for carrying out the act, has reference to the general plans for putting in force the general purposes of the act, and does not require that the supervisors approve the plans of the dwelling to be constructed.</p>
