## Opinion text

Mr. JUSTICE CRAVEN dissenting:
The specific statutory scheme applicable to this proceeding required that District #87 — the administrative district — give notice to the plaintiffs. This was not done. A result contrary to that reached by the majority may be said to be “undesirable” but that seems wholly irrelevant. District #87 was not a mere agent in this proceeding but was the employer by statute. Under the Bessler case, cited in the majority opinion and unsuccessfully distinguished in the principal opinion, the notice here given was untimely. I would reverse the judgment of the trial court.
