    PER CURIAM: In Matter of Light ( 30 App. Div. 50) this court held that the removal of the relators as members of the board of education of the town of Dunkirk, county of Chautauqua, N.Y., by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, should be deemed as made under the powers conferred upon him by section 13, title 1 of the Consolidated School Law (Laws of 1894, chap. 556), under which the Superintendent in making the removal assumed to act. The court also determined that the act of the State Superintendent in removing the relators was reviewable by this court on certiorari.
