Manilla Community Sch. Dist. V. Halverson

The sole question presented in this appeal is whether legislation affecting school reorganization appearing as chapters 128 and 129, Acts of the Fifty-seventh General Assembly, was retrospective or prospective. The cause having been submitted on the pleadings and a stipulation of facts, the trial court determined as a matter of law that the controversial provisions of chapter 128 must be held prospective and that the organization election held April 29, 1959, in accordance with the provisions of the statute in existence at the time the petition was filed, was valid. The petitions of plaintiff and intervenor in its behalf were dismissed and injunctive relief denied. They appeal to us. We affirm.
