SESSION SCHOOL LAW IS
DECLARED INOPERATIVE
The session laws of Alaska, relat
ing to the election of officers of
school hoards outside of Incorporat
ed towns, is declared to be invalid
and all elections held thereunder
must be held over, according to a
tel grain received by the clerk of
the lower court at Fairbanks from
Governor Strong. The telegram
says:
“Newspaper reports indicate that
some of the school districts, outside
of incorporated towns, this year arc
holding elections under the act
passed at the last session of the
Alaska legislature. This act has
been hold as invalid and alt school
elections in tho district referred to
should proceed as heretofore under
act of January 27, 1905. I’leaso ex
amine carefully all election papers
and refer back any which cover elec,
tions under act of legislature, with
instructions to old board to call an
other election under the federal
act."
Under the old law the elections
were to be held tinder tho direction
of the clerk of the court, while the
new law provided that the commis
sioner could establish school pre
cintcs and provide the elections.
After the law was passed the gov
ernor referred it to the counselor of
the department of the interior, and
he referred the opinion that it wa
invalid and for tills reason the gov
ernor sends tho instructions as to
the manner in which the school
boards shall be elected.
