 in Proposed A.R.E.A. School Number 30 



Now assume that this group of seven districts is to consider the or-

 one high school located at Haverhill. Surely each district would give 

 thought to the costs as computed under the first two formulas, RSA195:7. 

 Assume an arhitrary estimate of $180,000 as the total cost of operating 

 such a high school, what would he the apportionment of total costs 

 among the seven districts? Tables 13A and 13B show the results of com-
