description: Prior History: ERROR to the District Court holding terms at Tacoma. Second District.Application for a writ of mandate by the territory on the relation of Fremont Campbell, prosecuting attorney, against the directors of a school district, commanding them to pay to the county treasurer certain moneys received by them as insurance money on a loss by fire of the school house in the district. A demurrer was sustained to the return made by respondents in answer to the alternate writ, and thereupon the court rendered judgment awarding a peremptory writ as prayed for, from which an appeal was taken. All other necessary facts appear in the opinion of the court. Mandate – Schools and School Districts – Insurance – Appointment – A writ of mandate will not issue to compel school directors to pay over to the county treasurer insurance money received on a loss by fire of a school building in their district, to be divided between it and a new district recently formed out of it, where the money has been actually expended by the directors in the erection of a new school building, pursuant to the unanimous vote of the electors of the district.
