The opinion

ANDREWS, J.

This is an appeal from a judgment of the district court of Payne county, Okla., on appeal to that court from an order of the board of county commissioners of that county vacating that order and sustaining an order made by the county superintendent of that county, the effect of which was to establish a consolidated school district. The protesting voters and some of the common school districts affected appealed to this court.

The decision in this case is 'controlled by the decision of (his court in Board of Com’rs of Garter County et al. v. Woodford Consolidated School Dist. No. 86, 165 Okla. 227 , 25 P. (2d) 1057 , wherein this court held that an appeal would lie from an order of the county superintendent calling an election for the establishing of a consolidated school district, and that the order of the board of county commissioners thereon was final. In the instant case the judgment of the district court was rendered on appeal from the order of the board of county commissioners to the district court. There was no such (right of appeal.
