to sell or exchange public school property,” approved May twenty-first,

Any county, district or city school board may file its petition in the
circuit court of its city or county or the corporation or hustings court
of its city, or before the judge thereof in vacation, asking leave to sell
or exchange any public school property which in its judgment it is de-
sirable to sell or exchange, and upon evidence being produced before
the court or the judge thereof in vacation, that such sale or exchange is
proper to be made, the said court or judge thereof in vacation shall make
such order as may be proper providing for the sale of said property or
that the same may be exchanged ; provided, that if the said school prop-
erty is sold, it shall be sold to the highest bidder at public auction after
due public notice of time and place of sale be made known by posting
notices in the school district or city in which said school property is
located, and in case of sale of said property the court or judge shall
make an order for the proper use or investment of the proceeds of the
same; the court may make such order as to the cost as to it may seem
proper.
