Hazlet v. Gaunt

Plaintiffs are citizens and taxpayers residing in Adams county, and their places of residence are within school districts which were added, in whole or in part, to School District No. 27 under procedures authorized by the School District Reorganization Act of 1949. (Chapter 224, Session Laws of Colorado 1949.) In their complaint, the legality of the reorganization of the new district was questioned upon constitutional, and other, grounds. They alleged that the defendant members of the school board for the new district were proceeding under the purported powers designated to them by said Act to issue bonds in the sum of $936,000.00 for school purposes, and that the contemplated bond issue would be illegal and without authority of law.
