There are eleven of the iiinety-eight districts having a population 

 under 1,000 and in which more than seventy-five percent of the property 

 is resident owned, and in which the equalized valuation of property is 

 under $4,000 per capita. Only one of these eleven districts provided any 

 funds for high school transportation. Of the fifty-six districts having a 

 population between 1,000 and 2,500, twelve districts had an economy 

 as indicated above. Four of the twelve districts provided high school 

 transportation. With one exception, $17.96, all of the above five districts 

 had a school tax rate between $22.37 and $30.92 per $1,000 of equalized 

 valuation. Of all of the twenty-three districts above, seven had a tax 

 rate below $19 but none of these (except the one $17.96) appropriated 

 funds for high school transportation. In general, the tax rates of the 

 five districts making such an appropriation were above average.
