lot revert to the heirs of the donor, or can the trustees sell same for benefit of the district? Held-That having held possession more than fifteen years, the presumption is that the trustees had a good title at the beginning and still own the property, and can sell same for benefit of district; that the heirs have no title to the lot. December, 1892. WM. J. HENDRICK, Attorney-General. IX. 1. In locating a schoolhouse, the trustees may employ a surveyor if, in their judgment, it is necessary, and the charges should come out of the fund for purchase of site and for building the house. 2. The trustees are not required to execute an indemnifying bond to their collector of taxes. January, 1893. WM. J. HENDRICK, Attorney-General. X. In the matter of changing graded school districts, either enlarging the same by adding new territory thereto or diminishing them, section 4464 Kentucky Statutes provides as follows, to-wit: "If at any time, two years having intervened since such graded common school district was established, it becomes desirable to change the boundary of the same, it shall be the duty of the county judge, upon a written petition signed by the person or persons desiring to be changed, who are under this law, legal voters in the school district or districts in which they reside and who at the time own the real estate sought to be transferred, to make an order on his order book at the next regular term of his court after receiving said petition, fixing the new boundary of the said graded or common school district as agreed on by the county judge and the petitioners." It seems from the foregoing language that only the person or persons who desire to have the district enlarged to embrace their property with its new boundaries shall make the application to the county judge for the enlargement of the district and said enlargement shall not include the real estate of any person other than those who sign the petition. There seems to be no provision of law whereby a graded common school district can be diminished by taking therefrom any part of the territory once embraced therein. In other words, a graded common school district may be enlarged by extending its territorial limits but can not be made smaller, territorially, by taking from its original limits any part of the real estate originally embraced therein. April, 1900. ROBT. J. BRECKINRIDGE, ΧΙ. Attorney-General. A person who has received a third class certificate can not receive nor hold another third class certificate. A third class certificate can be issued to the same person only once in this State. April, 1900. ROBT. J. BRECKINRIDGE, Attorney-General. XII. The legal voters in an election for the purpose of establishing a graded common school district under section 4464 Kentucky Statutes are white males over the age of twenty-one years who have resided in the State one year, the county six months, and the proposed graded common school district sixty days.
