Book Description
Two statutes concerning fire departments in townships, K.S.A. 80-1518 and 80-1906, provide that fire department vehicles operated by the township are to be given the right of way on public highways, provided that, among other requirements, the vehicle is painted red. A third statute imposing similar requirements, K.S.A. 80-1505, was repealed in 1978. While repeal by implication is not favored, in view of the direct conflict between the two remaining statutes and the more recently-enacted K.S.A. 8-1530 and 8-1541 (regarding the duty of motorists and pedestrians to yield to a̲n̲y̲ authorized emergency vehicle making use of prescribed warning devices), the color requirement contained in the former is without force and effect. Cited herein: K.S.A. 8-1404, 8-1530, 8-1541, 80-1505 (repealed by L. 1978, ch. 424, section 2), 80-1518, 80-1906.

Book Description
Apart from a specific statute, a township has no general power to impose a levy for fire protection. Unless a township can meet the criteria of one of the special acts contained in Chapter 80, Article 15 of Kansas Statutes Annotated, it may proceed only under K.S.A. 80-1501 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲., or K.S.A. 80-1540 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. Under the latter act, a township may form a fire district which may contract for fire protection with other townships, cities or fire districts. Such a district constitutes a "fire protection benefit district" for the purposes of inclusion within a county fire district organized pursuant to K.S.A. 19-3601 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. However, even in the absence of such a township fire district, township territory may be included within a county fire district pursuant to K.S.A. 19-3601 e̲t̲ s̲e̲q̲. No new territory may be included within such a county fire district after July 1. Cited herein: K.S.A. 19-3601, 19-3602, 19-3606, 19-3611, 19-3612, 80-1502, 80-1503, 80-1543, 80-1545, K.S.A. 1981 Supp. 79-1801.

Book Description
The purported conveyance of the Conway School Building by Unified School District No. 418 to Jackson Township in McPherson County is invalid. If the consideration recited for the conveyance was sufficient to constitute the conveyance as a purchase of such school building by the township, the transaction is invalid because it did not receive the approval of the township's electors, as required by K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 80-104. If the conveyance was a gift, the transaction was invalid a̲b̲ i̲n̲i̲t̲i̲o̲, because a school board has no authority to make a gift of school district property. Cited herein: K.S.A. 72-8212, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 80-104.
