   within a new district, or to the teachers and other officers
   who by virtue of the said Act or these regulations become the
   servants of the Board of such new district, shall become the
   property of the latter Board, and shall be handed over by the
   old Board prior to the 9th August, 1916, to the person ap-
   pointed by the Minister to receive them on behalf of the new
   Board: Provided that where the whole of an old district

    to the scale in operation in the old education district to
    which the school district belonged, until such time as the

11. Whenever upon the constitution of the new education
    districts under the said Act an old education district is
    divided so that part is within one new district and part
    within another, the Boards of the new districts concerned
    may by an agreement executed under their common seals
    make such an adjustment in accordance with the provisions
    of the said Act and these regulations of the property or
    funds, including grants from the Government for mainten-
    ance and rebuilding of schools, held in trust for educational
    purposes within the old district, and of the liabilities, con-
    tracts, and engagements of the Board of the old district,
    as the Boards deem fair and expedient; but if the Boards
    fail to make such an agreement within three calendar months
    from the date of their coming into existence, then, upon the
    written application of either of the Boards directly affected
    to the Minister of Education, the matter in dispute shall be
    referred to the Governor, who shall make such adjustment
    or award as he deems just.

12. All regulations, rules, and by-laws of any old Board
    in force in its district immediately prior to the establish-
    ment of the new Boards shall become the regulations, rules,
    and by-laws of the new Board or Boards that are the suc-
    cessor or successors of the old Board so far as regards the
    district to which they previously applied, and shall continue
    to operate in the district previously under the control of the
    old Board after the coming into existence of the new Boards
    until the new Boards shall alter or amend or revoke such
    regulations, rules, and by-laws in accordance with the pro-
    visions of the said Act.

13. If any question whatever arises as to the meaning or
    application of these regulations, or the mode of carrying the
    same into effect, the same shall be determined by the Minister,
    and his decision thereon shall be final and conclusive, and
    it shall be the duty of the Boards concerned to give effect
    thereto accordingly.
