Cole and others as offi- cers and directors of the school dis- trict. The supreme court found: ‘The officers of a school district en- tered into contracts on‘ behalf of the district involving ‘obligations in excess of the debt limit:and in excess of the power to levy taxes, which contracts construction and equipment of a high school building and in the issuance and payment of warrants therefor. In an action brought by the schoot dis- trict against the members of the ‘school board in which it is sought to hold them pérsonally liable for the payments so made; “held, that in the absence of fraud the defendants are not. personally liable. Where, as a result of contracts in excess of; the debt limit,.a school dis- trict is. the recipient of a valuable public improvement which it was with- in its charter. power to Own and con- trof, no action can be brought by the district against the officers whose ac- tion “made the improvenient possibie where the tax-payers acquiesced in the performance’ of the contracts and the district retains the benefits thereof.
