|
Defendant and Respondent. |
Syllabus:
1. A statute providing a new mode of filling an office by appointment repeals by implication prior laws fixing a different mode.
2. In this case, it is held that Chapter 256, Laws 1913 which provides that at the annual meeting on the second Tuesday of July in each year the board of education of a special school district "shall appoint a clerk and a treasurer, not of their own number, who shall hold their offices during the pleasure of the board" operates as a repeal of Section 147, Chapter 266, Laws 1911, which provides: "The treasurer of any city, town or village comprising a special district shall be the treasurer of the board of education thereof; provided, however, should the said special school district have within its boundaries and be comprised partly of territory without the limits of said city, town or village, then the said special school district shall elect, at its regular elections, a treasurer in the manner provided by law for the election of school district treasurer."
